'ed. After a careful study he would

declared, to invite tenders; but be.
felt council should proceed cau
tiously >on account of fluctuations
of prices and because of what ma-
j terials are available, He also ques-
i tioned Whether reputable contrac-

A number are interested when

Wood in the building will be con

the council to “go easy”, Mr.
Bridgman said the steel and cem
ent situation would be easier this
summer. He estimated it will take
one and a half years to complete
the building.
It was moved by Reeves B. W,
Tuckey .and John Armstrong, and
unanimously endorsed, that the
council approve Mr. Bridgman’s
suggestion that the calling or ten
ders for the new court house be
■laid over until the June session.
Approve Airport Lease
The council endorsed a motion
by Reeves Tuckey and Armstrong
that the Clerk prepare a by-law
authorizing the leasing by the
county of Sky Harbor airport
from the Department of Transport
for five years for $1.00 a year
The warden’s committee reported
that it had leased Hangar No. 2,

Federation Asks $200
J. LeRoy Brown, Huron agricul
tural representative, addressed the
council in support of a requested
grant of $200 to the Federation of
Agriculture, which plans to have
a greater number of demonstration
plots this .year. The grant would
take the place of membership fees
and in this way it was hoped to
make each reeve a member. ,
Hugh Hill discussed the warble
fly in a brief speech. Last, year
he said, an experiment was tried
in Goderich township to determind
whether the warble fly could be,
exterminated by spraying the cat
tle and it proved most satisfactory
He advocated that legislation 'be
passed making is compulsory, as,
in order to have complete success,
spraying would need to be general
He suggested that this be done by
the reeves’ promoting the idea in
their townships. The machinery
costs .$1800 and is built to operate!
at 1,0 00 pounds pressure. He ask
ed that the county give leadership
in the matter. He suggested that)
the council pass a by-law where
by the cost would be assessed to
the taxpayers.
Engineer Asks Increase
T. R. Patterson, county engineer
in his report said: “A great deal
of highway expenditure is made
for improvements such as right-of-
way, hill-cutting, etc., on which
there is no depreciation. Munici
palities have imver been able to
borrow at such low rates as at
present,- and since interest charges
are among the biggest to be met
in any financing the picture res
pecting highway construction
been transformed. This county has
issued no debentures for highway
work for nearly half a century,
and may* not do so again.”
Many other phases of the Work
were discussed by Mr. Patterson,
who concluded his
questing that his
creased comparable to that of
gineers of other counties,

Rundown Feeling Is Often
Caused By Nervous Trouble
Strained, tense nerves are often the cause of
restless nights. Improper rest, night after night, is
quicldy followed by loss of appetite, irritability and
a tired, run-down condition.
For disorders such as these, Milburn’s Health
and Nerve Pills are highly beneficial and, once tried,
their medicinal value soon becomes apparent by the improved general
condition of the health.
The iron and other ingredients they contain help to improve the
blood content, stimulate the nerve cells, and the appetite, aid digestion,
thus helping to promote peaceful sleep. They have helped thousands of
others. They should do the same for you. Milburn’s) Health and Nerve
Pills are sold at drug counters everywhere.
