County Council Grants 



The following statement of what the County Councils of Ontario have voted for 



1916 to the Canadian Patriotic Fund is a splendid evidence of the generosity of the rural 

 districts as exhibited toward this Fund. These contributions do not include what the 

 townships are giving, nor the voluntary contributions coming from rural parts of the 

 Province, but only what has been voted through the county councils. The record is 

 described by Sir Herbert Ames, Hon. Secretary of the Canadian Patriotic Fund, as being 

 'a triumph quite equal to that scored by Montreal or Toronto."
