To the Elgin County Council:
Gentle-men:
In opening .the final ,session of. tIhe 194;5 County Council. I
wish. to ,corngratula;te.you on the ,excellent mannelf' in which you
have conducted the business O'f the County.
The cost of Admnistr.ation of Justice for the Coun1ty has' in~
creased this year due to' large number o-f pris'oners in Gaol and
increased Crime which seems' to be preValent in the Province.
The ,Roads -Committee !have :spent apprO'ximately $150,000.00
to date. and I believe 'Our County roads will COlTIpare very favour-
ably with any in the lPrO'Vince.
The- Agricultural conditions have been very disappointing to
the farmers. DUe- to the very wet we,ather crops' have; been pOIOT,
and inability to ha'rves' them,has resulted in ver:y pOiQ!r quality es-
pecially of beans, cO'l'n and .potatoes; tlhe apple-crop has a1s6 beeh
the pooorest on reeo.rd. c
The PropeDty Oommi'ttee have had all corridors', cells, Gaol
offtce ,and kitchen in lthe Gaol redeco!l'ate-d, which greatly im-
proves, the ,appearlance of them. The painting was all done by
the prisoners.
Though the' 'War is ov'er the general unrest throughout the
'World due to strikes. lay oiffs and re90nve>rsion is creating great
hardshiops to large gll',oups of pe'ople, and it sleeffiS' difficult for any
Government to find' a remedy fo'r the pres'ent conditions~
The 'Hospital Trust have asked the County to .assume a large

sible, as well as the d'evelopment of an individual willo can reoog-
