In ad­ dition to cutting, down the cost of the top, a tighter finish is be­ ing obtained on the road, which should reduce ihaintenance costs.

P. Oswald in the chair and all members present. As usual, the wind-up session dealt' mainly with routine mat­ ters,, one item of unusual inter­ est being the defeat of the pro-? posed County Museum by, a vote of 19 to 15. The cjiief stumbling Block- appeared to be the $4,000 capital grant required to set the project in motion. The Bruce County Museum re­ port had asked council for a cap­ ital grartt of $4,000 in 1955 an^ a $600 a year, maintenance, grant which would be matched dollar, for dollar by the .province. Plans for .a museum were first under­ taken in the. fall, of 1952 when the first committee was formed. Since that time Women’s Insti­ tute branches ■ throughout the i County have promoted the idea. > No Deer Season , ■?.' The Warden’s Committee re­ ported that the matter of an open jeefsea^^ fall had been given careful con­ sideration. It was disclosed that the Huron and Grey. County Councils had passed resolutions, requesting a closed season in their counties and it was decide ed that if Grey County would rescind their motion and permit, an open season, that the Commit­ tee would -recommend an open season for Bruce County■. Grey County-,-however, did not take- any action and there is no open deer season ihthis area this fall. Keep Within Estimates Treasurer T. H. Alton reported; that- the Committees with- con­ trollable accounts" appear to be keeping their expenditures with­ in their estimates. The oyer-all picture at this time would indi­ cate that Council will end; the, year within its total estimates: During the year he was able to purchase $2,000 Dominion of Can­ ada Bonds for the Highways Re­ serve Account, from accumulated interest. This, makes a total of $72,000 invested in Dominion of Can ada Bonds in this Reserve. f Highways Report - ; County Engineer G; E. Steph­ enson reported that heavy gradT ing and hill cutting had’ been done west of Paisley on North St., ■ 1V2 miles; east of Armow mile; between Holyrood? and Tees water mile, and west ofArkwright T'j& miles. Owing to limited funds, he. said, it has -been-found—necessary-™to—put—on- thinner -hard -top surfaces, both on new work and for levelling and maintenance of old surfaces. Formerly, for renewing old sur­ faces the procedure has been td surface treat with chips and a heavy asphalt or put on a new top about 1^2 inches thick. Where pavement was rough it was found with surface treatinent that the completed work was. almost as rough as before, it yias surface treated. By crushing the material much finer . than heretofore, it was fojund possible to use only half the material formerly used in x___„ seepnd top, with corresponding savings,. and from ‘ ‘ cations the results be as good.,Oh new" .work now' only one-quarter to one third as much material is being used as 1 IN THE TOWN HALL, LUCKNOW Ken Wilhees Orchestra, SCOTCH ENTERTAINMENT ; Lunch Counter featuring those delicious home-made pies; • ' ■ ' • ’ V ■ Admission 75c Ashfield United Church W.M.S. .
