Mr. Bowman also said members were using their cars, getting nothing for them. 'Pier had been told not to investigate, to take their information from municipal clerks, contained on application forms, but these were of- ten incomplete. "Some clerks think that because the county is not paying any of the pension the applicant might just as well get the full pension. I - don't think you men want that." The provincial government was asked that investigations made by the county - (old age pension and mothers' allowances board he accept- ed by the provincial department without further investigation and pensions and allowances 'be issued accordingly, This motion was sent to committee. - - 'The morning session was given over to an open forum of questions and answers followed by discussions, conducted by 3.

The following grants were auth- orized: - County Councils' Associa- tion, '$215; '.Worth and South Huron Teachers' Associations, $50 each. Grants to public libraries were defer- red until the January session. J. 1M, Govenlock, inspector of the Iiu•ron County Horne, and Reeve Bryana, chairman of the County Home committee, advised that dur- ing the current year a new electric range had been paid for, insurance for three years had been paid, and considerable cost for draining had to be borne. Mr. Shearer, the newly -appointed agricultural representative, addressed council on matters under his juris- diction. - Mr. \Hogg, of the first of lfogg & Quinlan, valuators, who have been engaged to equalize the assessment, stated that a survey of lake front cottages had been made while oc- cupied .during the summer; that they had not completed theirworkin the towns as - yet with the exception of Sealorth; that each municipality will be enlightened on their findings prior to the general discussion of equaliza- tion before the whole county council. the purpose of this being that the er- rors of one municipality was not the nosiness of another municipality. lir. R. Patterson, county engineer, led a discussion pertaining. to the roadways. The county road committee report- ed that since the last meeting of the council the work has been carried out largely as proposed at that time. It was since found advisable to re- coil -tract 1w' concrete and r1s ei ,riil;es,- and it lets been fotnul ex?ed' hint to rh' :t little more constrnctiim work and a 'little less of other classes of - work. - - The .principal improvements to the roads this year were the bitioninous surftwes constructed, of which sixteen shies were completed as follows: The roads ,rent Baytieid to Varna, from Dunlop to Carlow; tin completion of the Seaforth-P,russel road; a con- necting link at Brussels; a section through Ethel, The average cost of this work was about the same as last year, and the maintenance required' on roads built previously has been very light. Three hundred and thirteen thousand gal- lons of bitumen wereused and sprayed. at a cost of seven cents per ganon, About four miles of new roads have been constructed, and nine miles of tile drains :built, while nine- teen pipe culverts have been installed. A total of 822,000 yards of gravel were placed on the roads; 303 miles of road were sprayed with chemical at a cost of $21.12,5 per mile and the re - stilts indicate that a distinct advance has 'leen made in the work of weed control on road+ides; 10,000 feet of snow fence have been ordered and will he delivered soot. So far as can been seen the expetnd- ifnres for the year will absorb all the receipts. Huron County Council voted al- most unanimously to take over the sky - harbor airport at Goderich as a municipal enterprise.
