Of this amount ,+10,612.90 was to the credit of the county in 1' , Ca- nadian Bank of Commerce, Goaaerich, and the Molsons Bank, Clinton, and $103.25 cash on haut. The auditors reported that the books were in fine condition, being very direfully kept, mid that the treasurer had riven them every possible 'assistance in the dis- charge of their duties. The gaoler's report was referred to . the county property committee. Mr. Griffin. reported four prisoners confined in the county gaol. all male, as follows: Thos. Hewitt. Toronto, larceny; John Hyslop,Goderich,insanity;Isaac Young Middlesex, burglary: Rich. Chambers, Goderich township, insanity. The report of the road and bridge commissioner was sent the road and bridge committee. Mr. Ansley report- ed that he had bonds and agreements duly signed from the persons who ob- tained contracts from the council last January, and he expected the contracts would be completed in due time. He had provided plans for rebuilding the Mud Creek bridge, on the boundary line between the townships of Stephen and McGillivray. The contract has not been let, as they were waiting to see if any more work was to be done this season on the boundary of Huron .and Middlesex,.so that it might all be let at the same time and place. -He had examined the bridge on the boun- dary of LTsborne and Biddulph known as Drout's bridge. It was in aa• good state of repair and appeared to he large enough for the stream from the evi.- • dente of the debris lodged on the bank of the stream. There could be a cul- vert of about twenty feet in length put in near the bridge at a cost of $75 tor each county. The Dickey bridge and fence onthe boundary of West Wa- wanosh and Kinloss had been erected and makes a great improvement. The spring freshet had done considerable damage to the bridges. The Zetland bridge was badly damaged; it would require to be raised about twenty inch- es and have new supports placed under it. The bridges on the Bayfield River would require considerable at- tention this season. The 1south. ap- -oath to the Brussels bridge should be completed. The amount of - orders issued since Jannaary lst for work on bridges and roads was $380.32. There would require to be more'than. the us - nal arecatnt of small repairs to bridges and a roaches, but they would not -cost very much, The iron bridges .should he Debited; also the woodwork -of the exterior of the • court house building. The commissioner estimat- ed the a.nmount required for 'roads and bridgesanti repairs to county buildings. at not more than $0,400. • The council adjoiuxned until the ..-tfttlr'n OOn. Upon les . in g at 4 o'clock, a •nnni.- u xn g ber of accounts were 1•eferrecl , to the finance committee. . The special committee on county ai(lges appointed at the January netting of the colu ell reported Sas (dime; We find that a bylaw was asset" in 1874 assuming about 1225 ji1•idges through the county; that a motion was passed by the country council in dune, 1895, throwing seven- teen of those bridges hack on the different townships, but the bylaw of 1874 was not repealed, in reality still leaving the full number of bridges up- on the county. \\'e therefore reconl- lnend that this coutrcif recognize the present 1lylaw of 1874, assuming the Lull innate. of Iiridges winch were maintained under that bylaw, Our count) engineer, Mr. Ansley, has pre- pared a very plain and useful map showing all the bridges formerly kept ttp by the, county, .as well as those maintained only bine the June meet- ing of 15:11. which snap we lay before the ctuu ell, trusting that he will be properly -r- .e ,f;ni°rt'tl for his labors in this respect.

'The special committee appointed to enquire into the best manner to ob- tain more and better accommodation for the gaoler reported in favor of the removal of the present cottage and the erection of a hunger and modern builde ing. They submitted a plan of the bnilding and an estimate of the cost (about $2,200). Referred to the county property coinnlittee. The house of refuge committee re- ported as follows: Your committee met at the house of refuge on. February 7th. and April 7th. Messrs. Miller, Snell, Torrance and the warden were present, together with Messrs. Lane and Coats. We decided to repair the windmill and rise the standard 20 feet higher, which, it is expected, will prevent the frequent breakages. This improvement has been done -satisfactorily at a cost of $35. We have moved the partition up- stairs in the hallway, separating the keeper's rooms from the inmates' apartments (formerly it was not at all private), at a cost of $3. The ventil- ation in some of the lower rooms in the men's compartments being exceeding- ly bad, we had a new ventilator put in running through the roof, at acost of $37, which we believe will be a, great improvement. We have also decided to build a driving shed and ice house, 24x40 feet, 14 feet high; also have re- quested Mr. .Ansley, county engineer, to retain the old cedar timber in the the Summerhill bridge, as it would only be disposed of at a nominal figure and we require some long -timber for said building which could be secured from bridge timber as soon as remov- ed. Balance of cedar could be utilized to Food advantage in fencing the farm, which will have to be done in the near future. We have purchased the lum- ber for building at what we consider fair rates. The timber land on the farm being quite unproductive in the, position it is now in, your committee recommend that they be empowered to ask for teeters for said timber, and have it disposed of, and have the land cleared up for pasture land, it being.of little use in the . state it now is in. There have been about seventy maple shade trees planted, also a large num- ber of evergreens, which will "enhance the appearance of the farm in a great measure. Our committee having made a thorough examination of the house and farm, we found everything in first-class condition and well kept. We also observed the different kinds of grain and seeds sown and planted, as follows 11 acres of oats, ;9 barley, 9 hay, 34$ potatoes, 42 corn, beans, '2 marigolds carrots, onions, 1 garden, vegetables, and about acre, turnips. gg the -work i connection with te A1ln S farm has been - done by the inmates, without any help being hired.
