Roy - Patterson gaye a report on County roads to open Tuesday afternoon's session. Among 'jobs referred to were: Regrading a number of roads after a lapse of some years, including . the stretch z2orth on Kippen road; improvement of the Cut , line, "a sore spot for some time ;" a few bridges built and maintenance on some bridges due to spring floods; sur- facing- program of about eleven or twelve miles, including north of Brussels and also between Carlow and Blyth., Cost of surfacing was stated as $4,000 per mile. Recent increase of surfacing work would add another $400 per mile to costs on future work, he stated. Mr. Patterson pointed out t in Gramdmother .Knows What , Brings Quick Relief Since her own' childhood' grand- mother has known Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and TurpentinetQ be a dependable and quick relief for cough, voids, bronchitis and similar ailments. Is it any wonder that she sees that there,is always a bottle of it at hand in eao of emergency. Quick action is most important when colds set in.

Stating it cost about $60,000- to clear the. roads of snow last winter, Mr. Patterson said more, snow- clearing could be done but it cost money, and- he wondered }f t1'i'""�xpayers would appreciate it if taxes' were increased in this way. Reeve B. VV'. Tuckey, of Exeter. felt more work should be done on County roads within the borders of urban centres or else the centres should get a rebate to take care of the expense. Couii.ty Equalization Reeve Roy Ratz of Stephen town- ship, chairman of the equalization com- mittee, gave a report oh the findings of the committee as to equalization in neighboring counties.' Ile. stated that in Bruce county the assessment was equalized by a committee of five reeves, but he felt their methods were "haphazard." He approved of. the system employed in Grey county, where they had a county assessor. . The majority •,opinion expressed by the Council was in favor. of a "county assessor. As a result, 'a resolution, moved by. Ree e B. W. Tuckey and seconded by l ,eeve J. Armstrong of Hullett, called for the equalization committee of the Council to carry on and prepare any additional inform- ation available. regarding the appoint-, ment t a county assessor; that ap-- plicatinn,s for the position together with their–qualifications -be coiled for, a�.ca .be on hand' for the .endorsation' or rem jection -by the 1948 County Council at its January session. The motion was carried. Health and Hospital Committee The report of the health and hos- pital committee revealed that the total cost of the nursing service, Prom Janu- ary 1st to October 31st was $9,036.71. The Province subsidizes this expense to- the amount of $3,012.23: "We- feel that the nurses are doing a good job in the county, as the reports show that a .large percentage of defects found have been corrected;'''stated the report. The committee • recommended con- currence in resolutions asking that the Department of health give consider- ation to the erection of more hospitals for .incurables, and that the Govern- ment increase financial aid to such hospitals. Air Service Available At the opening ,of the Wednesday morning session, Clerk N. W. Miller read a' letter from K. S. Hopkinson, .manager of Sky Harbor Air Services, in which he advised that a fleet of ten aircraft, ranging from light' single engines tb heavy twin -engine transport, would be made available for any rescue or emergency work in the county. These would enable pilots to take long-range -flights or short flights from unprepared landing areas. Reeves were asked to carry this information back to, their municipalities. -' Christmas, Seals J; H. Kinkead appealed for support' of the Christmas seal camphign, which has a county objective of. ,$(1,500. • East year -$9,000 seas raised, from which it was hoped to -establish X-ray survey clinics throughout' the county.
