At the County Council u.i' c n,g in
Goderich last week Reeve 13 W. F.
Beavers secured for Mosier a special
grant from the county of $11.,0155 4 $4.
This will mean an. additional grant
of $4421•94 from the -legislature. The
special grant from the county was
for the extra. cost of tie. 20 ft. pave-
ment from the bridge to the south
boundary of the town. Of the spec-
ial County grant the town pays back
to the county as a epeeicl li'ry 00
per cent of this amount, the other
40 per cent represents the grant from
the legislature. The governments
share of the previous County grant
of $3,000 to Exeter was $12,S00.
This means that the government
grant for the pavement on Main St.
south of the bridge amounts to $17,-
221.94. Reeve Beavers is to be con-
gratulated on getting this special
grant through the county council.
