Dr. J. A. Addison, Clinton, was appointed as representative to the Clinton District Collegiate In- stitute Board. County Engineer Peter D, Pat- terson, who was reappointed at a salary of $4,500, told Huron County that Huron is far behind in providing adequate bridges for the county road system. This is as a result of curtailed work and material shortages following the post-war years. Included in the road system are about 90 bridges of 21-foot span and over. Of these 25 are in the 100-400 foot span. He said the narrow bridges can become a ser- ious situation in a few yeare "if not tackled on a relatively large scale immediately." A. Y. McLean, MP, told Coun- cil that he was informed that ap- proval was given to a grant of $21,Q00 to compensate the county for the re-building of roads ad- jacent to RCAF Station Central- ia. This project has been negotia- ted for some months, Ten Mills gsti raa,t e d Provisional estimates for 1953 submitted by treasurer A. H. Er- skine, and referred to the finance committee, set an estimated rate of tne mills. This is an increase of one mill over that of 1952. An increased bridge program added three-quarters of a mill to the highways account, and increased costs in the general account will require an estimated one-quarter mill increase. The estimated rate is made up as follows: general ac- count, 5.75; highways 4,25; total, 10 mills. Open Season Motion A motion on Thursday, January 22, by Reeves Pooley and Grigg that Huron County have an open season for deer in 1953 for four days with shotguns only was re- ferred to the Agricultural.

Kerslake announ- ced that a special meeting of Hur- on County Council may have to be called to consider tenders for the new county home addition, af- ter plans have been approved by thegovernment. Industrial Expansion Deputy reeve J. Allaire, Goder- ich, introduced the subject of in- dustrial expansion in Huron County. R. E. McKinney, Wing- ham, felt the time was ripe for securing new industry, and sug- gested making good use of the government department and to put pressure on its representative in London. He predicted future expansion of industry will be in the rural areas. Elmer Pickering and Thomas Dougherty were re-appointed con- servation officers, and W. • R. Dougall as weed inspector.

Children's Aid The report of the Huron County Children's Aid Society, presented by Mrs. M. Chaffee, superintend- ent, read, in part: "We completed 59 adoptions and placed 20 other children in adop- tive homes. As with all societies wo have more parents wanting children than we have children to place. At the moment we have net a child who could be placed for adoption. "In all, during last year, we made 5,684 visits; 4,237 interviews; and sent out nearly 3,000 letters and reports. We travelled 36,004 miles." Conclusion of Sitting At the concluding session r.,f council held on Friday, January 23, ' Council endorsed a Well- and County resolution asking that the Administration of Justice Act be re-written to conform to pres- ent day standards and that the province assume full cost of the administration of justice. Clerk A. H. Erskine said Huron Ccunty provides the sheriff and the clerk of the Surrogate Court with offices, and these offices col- lect over $10,000 and the county, though providing accommodation, gets nothing for it. The Registry Office collects land transfer tax; the staff is paid out of fees, and the county is a free collecting agent, and gets nothing out of the collection of the tax. °- Shorthorn Club Plans
