GENERAL OBSERVATIONS i'
By W. H. T.
The Jap is lull persuaded iu his
own mind that he is a very nice little
ffeitow and that be should be wel-
comed with 'open arms in any soc-
iety and by any nation. But fortunately, the Jape -good opinion
of himself is not -shared by other
people. And yet it must be admitted
that he possesses qualities which en-
title him not only to the respect, but
to the admiration of mankind. Since
the came out of his shell some forty
or fifty years ago, and set himself to
the task of learning all that was
worth learning in the western world.
he has ah-' rbed our mathematics,
our chemistry, our engineering, our
manufacturing, so that he now can
make anything from a pen knife to
a mighty battleship as well as either
could be made in Britain or America,
In courtesy and good =utters he is
the Frenchman of the Orient. He is
industrious -not having a lazy bone
in his body. He is law-abiding in-
kensel } , patriotic, snakes a goo-.,
Soldier, whether on sea or land be-
ing amenable to discipline, absolutely
without fear- -in battle fighting with
Spartan bravery --holding not his life
dear unto him.
• And yet, notwithstanding all these
good qualities, he i$ not considered
a desirable settler in any country;
for he does not become a citizen of

Huron and Middlesex were found to
'be very narrow and. -Mr. Hayes was
instructed to widen these also,
The Aux Sauble bridge opposite lot

and Middlesex was also visited. The
approaches .to this bridge were also
found to be too narrow, especially on
the east side. Mr. Hayes was in-
structed to look after the widening
of these approaches also.
The Alexander bridge on the east
boundary between Usborne and Hib-
bert townships was visited. This
bridge collies under a drainage
scheme initiated by the township of
!Hibbert, and the assessed levy for
the, bridge was $800. This estimate
your committee considered too high,
We insstructed our engineer to get
into communication with Mr. Rogers,
engineer of this drain with a view
to getting this bridge taken off the
scheme and built by the two counties.
This arrangement has been made by
Mr. Patterson and Mr, Rogers,
Deputations were present from Au -

to . continue the oiling of streets in
these small villages. Mr. Asquith
spoke for Auburn and Messrs. Walt
