'BRUCE WILL GIVE
$1001000 IN 1917
The .County of Bruce will this year
give 011a hoodred ,thousand :dollars to
the Canadian Patriotic Fund. This step
was taken",by the County Council at the
se,esion held in Walkerton last week.. A
year agc thecouncil arranged to pay to
the fund $1,000 , per month for 1916,
which would have made $60,0t» for the
year,, but at the June Oession the amount
was abanged fie as, to be at, the rate of
$90,000 per year. This made $30,000
for the grit six months and $45,000 for
tbe second *ix months. Many of the
countiesliave this year increased their
grants to the Fund, and Bruce, which
so far has done its bit so well • in men
and money, was not to be outdone.
Another matter which . engaged the
attentien of the Council for a time • was
tbe Good Roads 'scheme. This matter
was left over Until., the June session,
when it will again conic up. The Town-
ship of Cairick wealthy and populous
