gpitation., -
This morning; (Tuesday, again),
° as1 looked out upon the world I got
ern impression of rate beauty and the
thought came to me that while we
-exalt the beauty of spring, and sure-
Inier, and rightly so, winter has its
own charm, too. i The snow which
has been coming down almost every
day during the past week, has seem-
ed to me to be particularly beautiful,
"Ince
light, 1
so soft, so white andg ,
goose - down," someone remarked.
And it has lain ee quiet, with just
the suggestion of a breeze occasion
ally, but not enough to send it in
angry clouds about our ears, as :a
wicked wind could so easily do. The
children havo so enjoyed' wading in
it and one'e_ould wish, as ono' watches
them, that ons were a child again and
a ".t liberty to wade and wallow, too.
Then, this morning, when. eyery tree
and shrub and little wayside weed
was covered with a silver rhine, as
the sun came up, the world looked
like fairyland and the . dullround of
daily toil looked rather dreary. One
wanted to stay outside, to glory in
the beauty of the scene, rather than
to come in and --go over mail, edit
copy or tap a typewriter,' which,
somehow never seems able to transfer
to the paper on which it makes im-
pressioes the innermost thoughts of
me.
`Stili, the daily tasks' must be done
and- it is well that we have such
glimpses; of beauty to feed our souls
while we do them. Someone has
suggested that we consciously note
some one beautiful thing each day.
Well I noted thousands of them as I
came up .town this morning,. If' a
day shenld come that'I see nothing.
beautiful, though Buell days are rare,
if we have eyes to see, the sight of
this tnornaing will serve to make up
for such a lack.

Covey : Rad Commission •
The county road cmmi
sston teem -
mended, with regard to a number of
motions referred to the commission,
that: these be given consideration
when preparing' the program of -work
for the year. This applied to the
motion of Messrs. Henderson and
Stalker re birdge at Belgrave the
motion of Messrs. Mole and MacKen-
zie that the road north of Dungan -
110/1' be rebuilt this year, the motion
of. Messrs. M1cliibbon,and Henderson
that the road construction easterly
from Wingham be eolitinued to .$lue-
vale, the motion of Messrs. Craigie
and Sweitzer that the work on the
bridge hill road at Goderich be com-
pleted, the motion of Messrs. Bal-
lantyne and S'oitzer that the
Thames road bridge be rebuilt and
the.inotion of Messrs. Snell and Hig-
gins regarding improvements to the
Exeter bridge ,and approaches. Re-
garding the motion of 'Messrs. Col-
lins and Keys, asking that certain
additions be made to the county road
system, the recommendation was that
no action be taken until a further re-
port is had from the Highways Ad-
visory Board. With reference to the
motion of Messrs. Turner and Mac-
Kenzie, asking the Province to take
over the Blue Water Highway, • the
recommendation was "that action on
this matter be deferred, as the coun-
cil of 1927 had entered a similar re-
quest, ana
e -quest, -and'; the matter was, laid before
the Highways AdvisorBoard in
1928, and advice from the Department
is being awaited." With regard to
several motions re certain lights on
county roads,'' the commission recom-
mended that consideration be given
these matters after the commission
had had an opportunity to examine
the situations. Another recommen-
dation was teats?. communication be
sent to the advisory board of the De-
partment of Highways requesting a
report on the matters placed before
it in September last.
The commission asked approval of
anew system for the payment of ac-
ceunts, whereby Miss Tye should be
appointed treasurer for the county
road commission and the. county'
treasurer should pay over to the
commiesion the funds in lump sums,
as the accounts were, passed. This
procedure, it was claimed, would el-
iminate a great deal of unnecessary
work' and permit the payment of ac-
counts at en earlier date. This
clause of thg report, however, was
not concurred in, the remainder of
the report being adopfed.
Report Re Indigent Cases in
Hospitals
And Other Maeters Referred to a
Special Committee in December
The committee appointed to en-
quire into matters referred to by the
Warden at the December meeting of
the county council presented its re-
port.
"From investigation we find," says
this report, "that the present legisla-
tion regarding the admission of ilr-
digents to hospital treatment free is
being greatly abused and lacks very
much in the necessary machinery to
insure fair enforcement; that it tends
towards pauperising those who would
otherwise disdain to foist themselves
on the charity of others, many of
whom are not so well able to pay as
they are themselves, but in many
cases they are not apprised of the
position they are placed in by those
too intent upon a sure collection of
fees, for eve believe the word indig-
ent is rather flippantly used and that
the patient is so classed without pro-
per evidence."
To guard against the abuse of a
well -meant privilege of relief the
committee suggested (1) that 'pre-
cautiouary measures such es are em-
ployed in the admission of cases to
the county house of refuge be applied
to all tvho seek the public charity of
free maintenance in hospitals; (2)
that such eases should under no ac -
truces were recommended: Warden, count be admitted under any doctor's
or their own recoomriendatioti, but
$100; clerk, $1700; treasurer, $1650; such be subject to .the enquiry and
Crown attorney, $1100; county engi- judgment of a board, composed of the
neer, $3600; gaoler (with fuel and Reeve of each municipality avid the

person as the municipality may ap-
point to pass upon the fiinanoial need

ing assessed against the county; that
the; school should be connielled to
keep a record of the whereabouts of
the parents or guardians, and when
the parents or guardians removed
from the county'jhat county should
cease to have any responsibility.'
Maintenance of Provincial Offices
With reference to the maintenance
of offices by the county, tine commit-
tee sought to "assert the principle or
procedure that the county should nob
be responsible for the upkeep' of any
office which is not serving the coun-
ty; that i1" the comity provides the
office, the heat, light," water, 'care-
taking and general equipment, the
Pi`ovinoe which receives the revenue
and appoints the officer should, pay
for the necessaries used in the per-
formance of the duties of the office,
such as, blanks, paper, : ink, tele-
phoning, etc."

Stenographic Service
"The committee has decided- after
much investigation ak to the proced-
ure in other counties that the sten-
ographer service rendered in the
county is very much.. (rut of date and
unsatisfactory, some offices in the
court house having too much assis-
tance and some having none at all,
and that there should be an adjust-
ment of the same looking to a more
systematic System:. being employed„
where the service will be paid for by
the party or` office receiving the ser-
vice and the county shall only be res-
ponsible for . services rendered for
which it is liable to pay."
In order to bring about a more sat-
isfactory service in these respects,
the committee recommended' that the
legislative committee of the council
take the matter up with the inspec-
tor of legal offices, the county judge,
the county- solicitor 'and the other
officers concerned with the idea of
making an arrangement to prevent
duplication and much unnecessary
expenditure of county funds, and that
any stenographer employed for coun-
ty purposes be appointed by bylaw
and the duties fully defined.
Payment of Accouil'as
The committee further suggested
that no accounts' be paid useless the
sante be signed or approved or an ore
der issued for the saute by the War-
den, and that all accounts of a doubt-
ful character be subntitttod to the
county solicitor for his opinion as to
the county's liability.
Regarding Children's Shelter ac-
counts, tbecommittee recommended
that they be audited and paid quar-
terly in the same manner as gaol and
house of refuge accounts,the present
system of monthly payment entailing
too much unnecessary trouble and
too many meetings.
L. C. A. Officer
. Finally the committee advocated*
the appointment of an officer to en-
force The Liquor Control Act in this
county. .A very considerable cum

present method, of havingprosecu-

ing, the charge first upon the local

is. admitted, be restored, and that re-
medial legislation be granted coun-
