Lost, FRIDAY After much discussion, Huron County Council decided to shelve re- forestation within the ,county to the November session. County Solicitor R. C. 'Hays told council that 'before they could pass a bylaw they must secure an option on the land ,and 'designate the lots which they propose to reforest in the bylaw, Then incorporate in the bylaw to purchase lots for reforestation. lir. Hays suggested appointing a committee to secure these options and report (back in 'November. The committee nafue.d ,was: Reeves Grain, Frayne, Turner, kj, H. Scott and Wat- son. This motion failed to find ap- proval. Another suggestion was that each reeve bring in a list of lands in his township available for reforesta- tion. This also was defeated an clivi- sion by 1115.114. 'Others favored the plan suggested by Inspector E. C. Beacom to have woodlots adjacent to schools. Concurrence was given to the Nor- folk County r esolution asking the government to sss•ume the entire cost of preparing the :voters' lists for the provincial elections. Council tfiled the resolutions sub- mitted opposing the abolition of county councils A •committee to assist and advise Messrs.•Mogg and Quinlan, evaluat- ors, was appointed, composed of Reeves Car•diff, Armstrong, Leiper.. Davidson and R E. Turner. A motion was passed that the pro- perty .committee study 'and investig- ate nvestioate the possibilities of re -arranging the offices :in the county' building with the object of providing mare accom- modation .for the county engineer and report back at the .November session. It was decided to hold the county council picnic an Saturday, June 15th in •Goderich, T. B. Area Favored Council voted in favor of the Couto ty of Huron ,becoming a restricted area for T.B. and 'tabled the 'giving of a grant of $250 to' pay for education and initial expenses in .connection therewith, and that a !bylaw be pre- pared.

The warden expressed his thanks for the members' co-operation 'before the session closed. He said he would have liked to 'see reforestation. put on a different footing and hoped to see all at the annual picnic. Council adjourned to meet on Nov- ember 415 at 2 p.m. Road Commission .Reports At the Friday morning session of Herron county council the report of the County Road Commission was adopted as follows: "We have inspected most of the county roads this sprint, and find that while some roads were impassible foil a short time and all suffered coneid- erably during the severe Spring con -I ditions, all are now in t od condition. Early melting of the snow reduced the amount of work expected on snow I removal, but this sating hes been{ :Imre than lost in depreciation sf the road surfaces in the ;!,ring. We have examined the roads :tilted, for as additions to the C aunty Roads System and recommend that these additions, totallina about thirty nsiles be made as follows: 1. in the Township of Howick•' the road between concessions 14 arol: 15 from thelurnherry-H.sw•ick boun- dary easterly to the road between lots 20 and. 21 gtise Fordwich sideroad). 2. The 'boundary' of :How•ick and Turnberry Townships front the Grey Township 'boundary northerly to County Road No. 12. 3. In the Township of Morris, the road from the north townline of 'M;or- ris at Bluevale to the Canadian Na- tional Railway and the road from No. 4 Highway at Belgrave easterly to the Canadian 'National Railway. 4, The Townline Hay and Stanley Townships from No. 4 Highway wes- terly to the B4uewater Highway. 5. In the Township of Hay, the road between concessions 10 and 11 from the Provincial 'Highway at Zur- ich southerly to the- south Townline. 6. Ian the Township of Stephen, the road ,between concessions ill and 1.3 from bhe Provisscial Highway at Dashwood southerly to the south Townline at Mount Carmel. While it is felt that a check on li- censes is 'desirable, recent police ac- tion. its laying dharges against motor- ists for not carrying Permits anal other slight infningsinents of the Traffic Act does not meet with our approval and we recommend that the Depart- ment be asked to have their officers exercise more discretion. We further recommend that the Department of Highways 'he asked to issue a special license for vehicles us- ed only on the highway for transport- ing machinery front one puce of op- eration to another. The layout of planting, etc., for the Dunlop Tone property has not yet been received and no work of impor- tance has ,been done as yet.

Lt is :possible that the cowncii of Coliborne may 'be persuaded to build the road to a point across the tracks, and if this is done, we recom- mend that the remainder of the road be 'built. It is the intention of your Commis- sion to carry out as far as p'ossi'ble the program of .bitumitious surface oonstrection recommended fn the en- gineer's report in'J'anuary, It has been concluded that 11,9 milts as a county road levy is the amount 'desired to be expended iby the council, and the $16114154 estimated is given with that in nein'd. R'e resolution of the council Of the County of !Perth, asking the Provin- 'cial 'Government to pay '715 per cent. Of the cost of snow removal, we con- cur in this resolution and reoommend that the Ontario (Government be not- ified accordingly. Re resolution of the council of Wellington asking the 'Government to assume the whole cost of snow re- move on certain roads, we recom- mend no action. Re resolution of 'Waterloo County •Ceunci'l, respecting increased 'grants towards the cost of 'bridges and cul- verts, we believe that the intention of the original motion covered only con- struction 'costs, and we recommend that tee Waterloo Council ,be advised.. We recommend that the Provincial Government be petitioned to refund , to the municipality all gas tax :paid on gasoline used 'in the construction and maintenance of County and Matilde pal roads. 'Re motion of Messrs. Turner and ;McDonald that the road to Colborne cemetery !be treated for dust, it the intention to treat the portion of road M Saltfortt with ibitutnen, and the re- mainder should be stabilized, which will be ,done if funds permit. Albert 'McWha was given permis- sion to use all documents, books, etc., 'belonging to the County of Huron. The idea was 'heartily endorsed and it was recommended that Mr, Me\\'ha be given all possible assistance. County Engineer Patterson re- quested increased office accotnmole- tion. Reeve Turner, chairman of the Property Committee, told 031111 Cil that the office accommodation had been looked into. by his contmitt:e. He agreed with Mr. Patterson that his office was 'crowded with equip- ment .and there was little roost for meeting of fhe Road Commission are dele•bation..
