The report was adopted without amendment dmet L REPORT OF THE ROAD AND BRIDGE Co11rMITTEE, • The Road and Bridge committee re- ported recommending that the bridge at Grltnd Bend on the boundary be tween Huron and Lambton be rebuilt. oficedar, providing Lambton pays one half the cost; that Hall's bridge, on the Lake Road, Goderich township, be re- built of cedar, as soon as eonyenient that in reference to the Bayfieirl bridge Messrs. Rate, Torrance and Cox he a committee with the Engineer to locate a place to build a Dew bridge and fur- ther that a new bridge be built of ce dar and as soon as possible. In refer- enee to the letter from Iddin„ ton & Palmer, Brristers, Srratf'.rd, asking for damages on behalf of. John Carpenter for a wash-out on the Logan and Mc Kilian boundary it is roeommended that Reeves Kay, McMurchle and Shep- hard he a Committee to meet a •similar committee from Perth to adjust a set- tlement if possible. In reference to the motion of Mr McEwen it is recom mended that the engineer exainine the bride ova:r the Zurich drain and re• port at the June meting; also that the appropriation of $3,000 fur boutidary lines be made in accordance with Tay- lor's motion. In reference to the claims of the township of Morris, and other townships for a percentage for bridges the committee recommend that the mat ter be referred to it committee of the whole and that the solicitor's opinion be readto the council. In reference to the i1 otion of Mr. Ceufekshanits for a grant of $300 for the erection of a foot bridge . on the eband of the old Graham bridge it is recommended that the motion he granted prroviding all the parties hp terested give a satisfactory hoed to this' codicil approved or by the county ell natter to eeempt the chanty from any further debility of either building, oe maintaining; any bride on that place and also to exempt _ the scanty from a any claitnr for damages if shalt should oeeur on said foot bridge. e The following is the opinion of 11i'r. Gamow, county solicitor, #espei,tftlg section 583(a) of the consolidated muff iciprl stet and referred to tit the the above report. You will not, to be in with, that the statttoappliesonlt tobridges built a ter April 7lr,'190, and of 100 feet in length or over. In the case of bridges which do come within the statute,there is, of course,the further question whoth er the general pnblie is 111terested or only the township. The act, seems to anticipate that the township: will be helped in a bridge is purely local in its use the township will still bear the bur deo. If there is a dispute, there will ill be arbitration if the parties can not agree. I think the statute contemplates re Hering a township which has an unus ual number of bridges to maintain, es- pecially where such bridges are requir ed for more th9 purely local purposes. It is true this nneauiug rs not expressed distinctly in the act, but I can imagine no other rneamne and :I cannot con• eeive of any intention to maize the county liable except for something of a Bounty nature, f•ir instance, where leading roads through the county, used by every one to go from one point in the country, to another, cross rivers, it would seem fair that the whole coup ty, should build the bridge, but where the bridge is only of local use the re verse would be the case. But there is the right to have the matter referred to arbitration in every case. Moved by Mr. 'Torrance and second- ed by Mr. McMurchie, that the report be amended so as to recommend that in the event of a foot bridge being erec ted on the site of the old Graham's bridge, that this council accept the bonds of Turnberry and the parties in- terested. This motion was carried. The only change from the conditions attaching to former grant being that the parties interested furnish a bond instead of the town of Wingham. The peport as amended was adopted. Moved by Mr. Taylor and seconded by Mr. Turnbull that the clause of the report referring to the bridge at Grand Bend be amended, and that the War- den and his committee with the Engi- neer be a committee to meet with the engineer, or any committee the eoun cil of Lambton may appoint, and de- cide whether the bridge shall be built of wood or iron. Carried. Moved in amendment to the report by Mr. Torrance and seconded by Mr. Rate, that the claim of Morris, under Section 533 (A) of the Consolidated• Municipal Act of 1892, be deferred un- til the June meeting, and that in the meantime a committee composed of the Warden and Messrs Milne, Eilber, and McMur cMe be appointed to consider the whole matter of the claims of Grey, Morris,Turnberry and East Wawanosh and every other municipality having such claims and report at the June ses- sion. Carried. The report as amended was adopted. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The Executive Committee reported recommending as follows: That the usual grant of $10 be made to the Pris- oners' Aid Association; that the tender of Mr. McGillicuddy, of the Goderich Signal, for the County printing be ac- cepted; that the grant of $300 be not made to the township agricultural so- cieties; that the usual grant of $25 be made to the East and West Huron Teachers' Association; that the salary of the Clerk be not increased to $800 as asked for by the motion of Messrs. Proudfoot and Taylor; that no action be taken on the motion of Proudfoot and Rollins to procure plans for a pro- posed House of Refuge. The report was amended so as to recommend the granting of $300 to 'he agricultural societies, when it was finally adopted. THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE The Special Committee reported as follows: In regard to the circular from the County Council of Wentworth as to market fees ee the Committeeadvise. that no action be taken. In reference to the application of W. W. Cooper, J. Buchanan and James Aitkinson for appointment as County students at the Agricultural College Guelph: The ape plication of W. W. Cooper,is recommend ed provided George. C. Connor, who was recommended by this Council' at its January meeting of 1892, does not take advantage of his appointment. In reference to the circular for the Coun- ty Clerk of the united counties of Nor- thumberland and Durham in reference to the change in the number of County Councillors, as no plan is proposed, it is recommended that no action be to ken. In reference to the resolution of the County,Couucil of Elgin as to inak• ing it compulsory for railways under Dominion jurisdiction to make provis ion for culvert on natural water cour ses, we would recommend this Councii co operate with the County Council , of Elgin and that the Warden and Clerk petition the Dotniniorr Government to make provision as to culverts on nater al water courses, and to forward the same to the Clerk of the County of El gitr. In reference to the resolution passed by the County Council of -Oita rio county, as to the appointment of a referee for the trial of aettou for dein- ages against municipalities for non repairs of highways, the Committee re- commend that this Council co operate with the Cotutty Council of Ontario,and notify thein that the are entirely in a:o= cord with the resolution and the pro- posed petition to the Legislature, but would recommend in all cases where the damages claimed do not exceed the srim of $200, the referee Should be the County Court Judge of the county where the darnage arises, and the Clerk send at copv of, this recommendation to the Clerk of the c.neety of Ontario, Tn reference to the t:oirinliluications froth the Dominion Alliance. ,asking this.

The committee has examined the rote given recently in the county in reference to the House of Industry. We find that the vote wanoinewhat small, that from snine of the townships and the villages there is t10 return, but that so far as returns have been made the majority id fayor of building a House of Industry was 722. That part of the report recommend•' ing the petitioning' the Legislature to repeal Section 5334(A) of the Consoli- dated Municipal Act of 1892 and to send a delegate to Toronto, was, on mo tion, struck out and the report as amended was adopted. THE HOUSE OF REFUGE 'moved by Mr. Proudfoot and second- ed by Dr, Rollins, that the Clerk be in. strutted to advertise in . two Toronto daily papers for plans and specifica tions, with estimate of cost of erection of a House of Refuge to accommodate 60 inmates, and that this Council will pay $100 for the plans, specifications and estimates adjudged most suitable by the Executive Conimittee,said plans and specifications to be prepared with e due regard to economy, durability and efficiency. This motion was referred to the Exc. cutive Committee, who reported recom- mending "no action," and the report was adopted. At a subsequent stage of the proceed. ings a committee consisting; of Messrs, Proudfoot, Cox and McLean was ape pointed to examine any sites in the County suitable for a home in which to maintain County Wards and indi- gents, and to report to the Council at the June meeting.

Her feet were swoolen so she could not walk,and being:affeited with paralysis she was taken to the Toronto General Hospital, which, after under- going' a iengtheued treatmetlt which did her no good, and receiving nothing in the way of eonselatiou save a certiti- caste that she was incurable and a pre - mit admitting her to the Home for In, eurables, Even then she did not give up hope and tried Honroepathic treat- men•, but w ith as little results as the other. There seedbed nothing left but to go to that retreat, where only those who are beyond all human aid are ad- mitted, and there wait for daath'to re• lieye her of her sufferings. She heard of the wonder; ul cure of Sam Murray, of Gravenhurst,by Dodd's Kidney Pills and she decided to try them. The tirst week she noticed very little change, but before she had finished the second box her back began to feel easier, the swelling to leave her feet, and by the third week she could walk, something she had been unable to do for two years before, Now after taking Dodd's Kid. ney Pills for two months she is so come pletely cured that she is about to take up school teaching again, a calling she pursued before losing her health.
