Mn. Enrron,—With your permission I
will write a few lines about Grey Town-
ship Council expenditure, whiolappeared
in last issue of Tun Pose. Among the
items is 34 for planldng bridge at lot 6,
non. 14, and as your scribe has crossed
said bridge since then he expected to see
some new plank. But alas— expectation
fails, es two oldlank have been put on
during 1895 so far cud they look as if
they had fallen a oonsidarable dietauce
along with a load of lime and then served
their apprenticeship ae Alien roost since.
Said plank are not nailed either. What
is the reason ? Will they nob hold nails,
or was tbo pay not big enough 7 It seems
to me an exorbitant price for two plank,
even lied they been now ones, and as
there are 2'patbnasbers, duly appoiuted
by he Council, living on
lots 5, one on
each side of the con., and whose farms
are within 40 rods of said bridge, I.hink
S01110 one of them might have repaired
the bridge if it needed it, cheaper to the
township. Thee bridge is covering a part
of the celebrated No. 2 mai and outlet,
go' itis only he accord with attempted
improvomoute thereou. Rask the laerfeob
man who hae never done wrong who leb
this job who examined the work when
done and why those' plank cost somucli?
