County Roads Commisi*on To the Warden and council, County of Huron. Gentlemen. --We, your Road Com. mission, beg to report as follows : Since the January session of the cduncil the work on the county ronde has been proceeding as usual, and the roads in much the same condition as last year. The severe freshets during the spring caused much minor washouts on the roads, and the fail- ure of the dam at Wroxeter caused the bridge in that village to be wash- ed out. During the winter, the Com- mission held meeting in Toronto and attended the sessions of the On- tario Good roads Association, and Chairman Hill of the Commission was one of the speakers at the Conven- tion. Mr. Hill spoke on the Conven- tion. ;VIr. Hill spoke on the suhjeet, 'The Township Road, Superintend- ent from the Viewpoint of the Coun- cil;" pointing out that the function of the council was excutive, and that the superintendent's duty was to car- ry out the instructions of the council, but also that it was necessary for the council to get the best results, to give support to the superintendent and not to interfere with nor over- rule him, in carrying out the work. Many other papers of interest Were presented, and the old problem of "who should pay for the roads" was discussed fully, the rural dele- gates contending that the cities should pay more, and vice versa. While in Toronto, the Commission examined equipment that it was pro- posed to purchase. Early in May the most of the. County Roads were looked over, and the construction work which was pro- posed. A trip ,was made to Hamilton to examine dragline and other equip - ,,lent.
