No person who visite the Huron House of Refuge and sees the comfort and non. tentment of 78 occupants will leave the well managed institution without thor- oughly appreciating the good work done for tbe poor and helpless in conneotion therewith. If there are still people op• posed to suchhnmane harbors of refuge they should make a visit to Clinton and satisfy themselves. Ix looks a little as if President Room. vett was rather inolined to be a friendly neighbor to the Dominion of Oanada. We stand in a very different position to that of a few years ago in the matter of reoiprooity with the 17. S. and nobody knows it better than onr Yankee cousins. Canadian trade San no longer be sneezed at and the outlook is most favorable for large increases. MR.

Anything this body site on will never trouble anybody, except for iii burial Bona political parties without doubtgot a hustle on them in the West Huron bye. election. The 20 pounders were on the platforms of the riding, so were the pop. guns. This contest was a warming - up canter preparatory to the Spring gen- ;,oral election races. West Haronites t shoald not require very much practice in matters political as they have bad a good share of contests during the past 5 or 10 years. We would just as soon have our lot oast in the good East Riding, however, where bye elections are unknown. Tan sad drowning aooident at Ottawa in whioh Mies Blair, daughter of Hon.

W. H. Kase, Chairman. REPORT OF 0000 PROPERTY OOBtttITTEE. We visited the Jailer's residence and found the building now occupied by the Jailer and his family, and apparently everything is well spited for the purpose. The Building Committee saw fit to make some slight changes with te few extras and after careful examination we think they were justified in Bo doing. The old kitchen stove in Jailer's residence has been replaced by a new range the account of which will appear in theFinanoe Com. mitten's report. We have also visited the jail and found the inmates to cor- respond with the Jailer's report. Found everything satisfactory. We would ad- vise the enlargement of the jail kitchen by the removal of a partition as requested by Jailer Griffin; that the door and frame from jail to residence be covered with galvanized iron so as to reduce insuranoe ; that ate electric, bell be put between the Jailer's residence and the turnkey's office and a bell put on front door ; that the Jailer's request for 6 pair of pants for prisoners be granted, We recommend that a telephone be not put in the turn. key's residence.

EDIIOATION OOtMSIITTEE. • A petition was presented from Frank Wheeler and nine other ratepayers of the village of Belgrave made up of parts of Morrie and East Wawanosh Maps. asking that arbitrations be appointed to adjadi• sate on the formation of a new school section, comprising parts of the aforesaid townships. A counter ,petition from L. Williams and 46 others of S. S. No. 5, Morris, objecting to an arbitration (the latter only coming into the bands of the Committee to•day). Your Committee, after carefully considering the matter, un• animously recommended that the follow• ing persons be appointed by the Council to arbitrate in this matter viz :-73. E. Houston; of Exeter ; W. S. lieKerober, of Wroxeter ; and Dusan Errata, 01 Varna. Rona. MILLER, Chairman, sinews 00 CO. OOBt➢nesIONEit ANSLEY. All of the oonbraob5 awarded during present year have been satisfactorily nom• pleted. Examined Aux Sable river at boundary of Counties of . Huron, Lambton and Middlesex. Several persona were present from Huron and Lambton but none from Middlesex. Had letter from Commissionerof latter Co. stating that bridge had not been brought before their Coun.pil therefore he would not attend. I am of opinion that a bridge should be built end 'the three Countries ,contribute equally to cost whioh for wooden supersbrucbtve would cost 91,500. Owing to deepening of river bed several thousand acres of land are be- ing reolaimed whioh will be very pro. duotive and require both road and bridge. Met Co. Clerk, several Councillors and others at proposed site for bridge Col. borne and Goderioh townships. 'A bridge would require to be 860 feet long, 20 feet high and 16 feet wide, with three spans of 120 feet each. A high Pratt truss steel bridge on concrete abutments and piers, including approaches, would oost about 99,000. Bed of river is limestone which would affordgood foundation. River bank is very high, said to be 100 feet and would be an expensive plane to make a good road. A great many wooden bridges in the Co. have been in use for a good many years and will require to be rebuilt soon. I think it would be well to have tenders ready for two of them at your neat meeting. One is called the Stanley bridge, situated miles West of Clinton, over Bayfield river. This bridge should Merry Xmas to Everybody. T.

JAILER') REBWENtE ntnTDINO. - cooinr bTiE. In pursuance of the motion made at the special meeting of the Council in July 1901, yonr Committee entered into a.00n- tract with Buchanan - & Lawson, of Goderioh, to erect a residence at the jail according to the plans and speoifioations which had been 'submitted to the .Ooun- oil, at the price or sum of 92,800 inolud ing hot•water heating ; the centred price. to be reduced by the sum of $188 if your Committee deoided upon' hot air heating,, Your Committee, however, deoided to' adopt the bot.water plan of heating and thin left the contract at 92800: -The non braotors receiving in addition to the said sum of 92800 the stone in the walls which your Committee sold to the oontraotore at the sum of 9200, so that the contract for the building really was, as your mo- tion recommended, 93,000. The building was to be completed by the 15th of Oot. 1901, and it not then completed a penalty of $7.00 a day was to have been inflicted. We are glad to say, however, that the building was practically completed at .the time specified. Your committee also provided in the contract that anp prison laboremployed should be allowed by the contractors and this amounted to 97.80. Your Committee have paid the contrac- tors $2238 and there is still due them on. der the contract 9562, and in addition thereto there are extras amounting to 949. 35, making the total still due, after de- ducting the above amount of 97 80- 9608.55. Your Committee thought it wise to engage E. Sharman to superin. tend the stone work at an expense of 957 00, and this sum has already been. paid. Your Committee met during the progress of the work, four times. It became necessary on several 000asioos to consult the arohibeot in reference to oerbaiu matters in ammo - tion with the building, his charges for. whioh amount to $6 00, and this we re- commend be paid. There is some point- ing to be done on the wing walls, which is to be done in the early, Spring, and a sum sufficient to cover this work will be retained out of the sum payable to the contractors.
