Huron Official
Makes Protest
To County ;Council.
T. R. Patterson Takes
'Exception To Court's
Charge To Jury In
Manslaughter Case
Goderich, Nov. 12—Roy Patterson
county engineer, at the conclusion
of hie report to 'the county council
on Thursday morning stated:
"In addressing the jury at he
close of the recent Manslaughter
trial, the presiding judge said that
the Grown mdp indict some official
or officials of the county in connec-
tion with the situation. I accept,
as county engineer, full responsi-
bility in the matter and if anyone
connected with the county shoild
be imprisoned over the situation, it 1
is I. I have never driven over the
location in question after dark, but
hundreds of others have done so,
and if the alleged death trap ex.
isted, and if my negligence was so
apparent as to warrant indictment
it is remarkable that no one report.
ed it." Engineer Patterson dis-
agreed strongly with some of the
opinions expressed by the presiding
Judge at the manslaughter trial.
The reference had to do with the
court trial of Lorne Jardine, acquit-
ted on Tuesday, both of manslaugh-
ter and dangerous driving arising
out of an accident on a county
bridge in which two young girls
had lost their lives and in whica
evidence was given that the bridge
was faulty and in a state of die
repair.
As far as the county is concerne:i.-
apparently it is not the intention of
the paa•ties to put in the claim,''
Mr. Patterson added. "They have
not entered action in time pro•
vided for in the statutes.''

AMODEL FOR EVERY HOME
'District Engineer Fellows, who
was present, told the council that
he could not criticize the Bench, dill
but he would like the department
to have a copy of the report, which
he might take up with it.
Operations on' the roads were
handicapped by ' so much wet
weather, but all the roads were
, sprayed with chemicals this year,
Mr, Patterson reported, and there
is a marked reduction in roadside
weeds. By object lessons in weed
destruction, property ownees may
be induced to consider weed contr•>1
more seriously. Roads have been
stabilized with clay, and this Prac-
tice should be extended so that all
maintenance gravel placed will be
provided with a binder so that It

the very reasonable fees, indicated above, a great highway system
comprising over 20,000 miles is maintained and made available to
the motorists of Ontario and visitors from other parts of America.
The revenue collected from motorists by way of registration and
license fees and the gasoline tax has made possible the construc-

For the convenience of motorists, permits and licenses are issued
through the offices of 189 agents located throughout the Province.

temperature above freezing,' advises
George Rush, Vegetable specialist
of the Ont. Dept, of Agriculture,
Toronto.
However, this is difficult where
furnaces are used as the tempera-
tere is ranch higher and the air dry.

In good Condition,
Leavy metal or stone containers
are excellent for keeping reedit
fresh, states Mr. Rush, and these
containers have given excellent re-
sults where used.
Roots may be placed in a heap
in the garden and covered with
two inches of earth. They may be
kept this way until the tempera•
tore reaches 20 degrees of frost
before being removed to the cel-
lar for winter.
Mr. Rusk says the home garden
should be cleaned up immediately
and all rubbish and diseased plants
destroyed by burning, as only fire
really destroys these diseases.
Digging refuse in will bring trouble
nett season as disease will caeiy'
