At the June session of the Huron County Council, which closed this afternoon, it was decided to call a special meeting, to be held here on June 19, for the purpose of drawing up a by-law for the county system of good roads, A representative of the department was present and fully explained the system. Already some of the main roads have been agreed upon, and it the• intention to have some three hundred utiles throughout the county paved under the system, W. It. Kerr, of Brussels; Mayor Stew- art, of Seaiorth, and Sheriff Reynolds were present as delegation, - and ad- dressed the council on behalf of the Children's Aid Society of HuronCounty. A short time ago the society obtained an option on the St. Lawrence proper- ty, in Goderich, for the purpose of establishing a shelter, and they were asking the council for a grant of $2,500 to buy the property and make the necessary repairs. The matter was re- ferred to the executive committee, who recommended float no action be taken, as they considered the place unsuitable. They, however, recommended that a place be leased or rented at a cost of not more than 42000. This was later changed to 62,500, This was passed by the council, Another grant of $5,000 was passed to the Ladies' Red Cross Work, to be divided amongst the different munici- palities for the purpose of buy fug wool and other necessary articles. A resolu- tion was also passed expressing the Council's gratitude and apprecation of the loyalty and devotion that the ladies of the Patriotic and the fled Cross so- cieties of the county have displayed in providing comforts for the soldiers at the front. f_r,nON SOLDIERS COMING HOME who, Among the returned soldiers have arrived in Halifax are:— R, N.

The letter goes on,.— The Inspector, you will notice, has a good many criticisms and suggestions to make, and a careful perusal of the report will sliaw that these are all dis- ctinctly called for. 13 is evident, for in- stance, that your supply of rater is quite inadequate, as when 5110111 when the suction well was emptied at the time lOf the test made by the inspector, Atten- tion also should be particularly drawn ' 10 the size of the street mains, as near- ly half of the whole of your stains are i only 4 inch inferior diameter, and ap- parently the only mains that are being laid in your town are of this size. 4 inch mains, however, are not :any- where considered suitable for tire pur- poses, and I would strongly urge that the hiving of these be discontinued. Th Inspector•also wants to call attention to tete fact that you app.o'ently do not put a proper value on your chemical lire extinguishers, ars these appliances ,lei kept on .a shelf in the lire hall tChemical extinguishers should be the • first thing to arrive at any lire, and if the fire Is not important they are ad- equate to extinguish it with the least possible damage to property. With regard to the night patrol, it is of ;wry littl use to have a man that is called a night patrol if lie does not actually patrol the town regularly, and it is certainly a fats economy to endavor to have a night patrol who is also caretaker of the town hall and needs to be in attendance there when there is any meeting and stay until it is over and lock up. A night patrol, to be of real value must regular cover his rounds, and. he should call at each station at very hour during the night without failing. I trust that the matter which we consider of special impor- tance, may have the early attention of yourself and your council, Yours truly, John A, Robeson, Say.

At the last Regula) monthly meeting of the Public Utilities Commission it was decided to have a more uniform rate for water works and also to con- serve the use of the wafter as much as possible owing to the increase demand. By the introduction of Metras on all services greater privileges will be given , and each customer will pay according: to the amount used. The nii111nun charge will be 56.00 per year less to%n for cash and only those who use over 1300 cubic feet (and not many exceed this) per Quarter will pay over this amount, it will only mean an advance of toe per quarter for some while a saving of dollars to others.
