The receipts from fees Division Court jury fund this year slightly exceeded the expenditure. itt 1881 the expenditure exceeded the receipts by the sum of $29.66. In 1882 the receipts have ex- ceeded the uaymeuts by $8 21. From the two yeers experieuce we have had, 1 think, it may be assuined that taking 0110 year with another the receipts and expenditure in connection with this fund will about balance each other. The largest discrepancy between es- timate and expenditure is in roads and bridges. The estimated amount was $17,400, but $19,556.88 has been paid out, leaving an excess of expenditure of $2,156.88. The total ccst of the new Maitland bridge is $15,151 of which $1.624 59 was paid in 1881, and $13, 526.41 in 1882. During the year $9,300 has been in- vested in mortgages bearing interest at 6%. There is at the close of the year available for investment at the credit of the sinking fond accounts $6,388, which can now, I thiuk, be readily placed at 7/,. The interest on outstanding mort- gages has all been promptly paid as it fell due. The interest aocruing due on mortgages and debentures in 1883 will be $3,W/2, which added to the $9,300 at credit on 30th December last, will make $12,372 available fur investment define the present year. Hr. Dickson, the registrar, paid on this date the proportion of fees aecruing to the sounty for 1882 $2,018.92. I am, gentlemen, ' Yenr Ob't won't, A. M. Ross, Cu. Tram'. CHAS. G111:111, Road Corn.

Moved by Mr. Webster, seconded by Mr. Griffin, that Mr. Girvin, road cone missioner, hare the approach fenced at Graham's bridge, Lake Shure road, am I beg to submit herewith a statement of work aune under uiy supervision since. the December meeting. In reterence to Ball's Bridge, it is 257 feet long, and has a good foundation te build stone abut- ments on, and good stone neer at hand to build same. There is a difference of opinion as to where the new bridge should be built. By building it about a mile south of thu old place it would be a more direct road to Goderich, and would require a much shorter bridge. I am not prepared at present to say which is the best. I am of opinion that there should he a bridge at Hohriesville. I have not sold the centre tirnberat Grieves' Bridge, owing to some posts which sup- port the bridge. My intention is to put in a false bent made of port of the tun ber, and sell the balance as soon as pos- sible. The present bridge is 73 ft. high and 129 ft. long, but can be shortened to ab nit 90 ft.. when rebuilt. I would recommend filet tenders he called for at next June meeting for atone abutments for a new bridge at sante plare, as 1 have been informed that the stone can be got cheaper in summer, and teamed early in the winter sermon. I think it would not be safe to allow the old bridge to stand more than this year. The repairs on the Stanley Bridge are going on at present. Jolts MASON, Road Com REPORT OT SLLACTING COMMITTEE.
