SNOWDON, Proprietor, ■ General a Observations n I O The thaw which took away the coating of snow which lay on the ground last week has been very wel- come to the farmers in thisvicinity as water had become so scarce that some had to drive ,their stock some distance .to secure it. It is not quite so good for business as the cold weather with snow for sleighing, yet with good roads and autos this is not quite so important as formerly. There is, to Canadians at least; a real attrac- tion in the -merry jingle of the sleigh bells. R* The death by accident on Saturday night of Gene Stratton Porter will bring a pang of real regret to thous- ands who have enjoyed her studies in human nature and outdoor life, writ- ten by her during the past twenty years. Perhaps she is best known by her earlier books, `Freckles" and -The girl of the Limberlost," yet many people consider one of her last books, "The White Flag," as her best.

Five new concrete culverts have been completed south of Bayfield, The county concrete plant at the .Heyrock bridge is doing the excavating and reconstruction of this difficult and hazardous undertaking. The curve leading to south ap- proaeh of Bayfield has been widened, new posts planted for guard railing, and the cable is ready for installing; also some of the shrubbery has been cut out, giving a better view :to travelling public of traffic conditions on the bridge. South of Goderich on the provincial county roacl three culverts have been extended to comply with the. High- way Act respecting bridges on pro- vincial county roads. Five culverts have been ereeted between Goderich and Amberiey. this summer, ail' ex- cellent structures. : ThelleNain bridge is in about the same condi- tion as last spring, but is dangerous for heavily loaded vehicles. Pavement at Blyth Excellent Piece of Work. • The new pavement at Blyth is an excellent piece of „road ,construction in every respect. The Prairie bridge near Winglram' is undergoing widen - e. been put a concrete footing has n put in an the bridge 'abutments. A. gravel pitwasbought from W. G. Strong, Howick, for $200. The work at the sink hole east of Lakelet at Road No. 30 has been completed. The method employed Lras beet! to fill in with cedar rails, with about 10 inches of gravel :spread out to a width of 20 feet, This is about all .1ftsvat4a of *Huron, and our 'county engineer is deserving of great praise foe, the way se has .handled this work. We would .recommend that a tablet he iuserted n the railing of the Heytock bridge and also on Bannockburn badge. The road for a utile north of Grand Bend' has been widened and the cul- verts rebuilt to regulation width the tc anwdn resurfacing not completed.Road No. No. 4, Stephen, has been wudeued at two culverts and drain straightened to Tiring the run ,opposite the culvert. We inspected the beach in Bayfield at the north side of the pier and Eoun(1 immense quantites of excellent gravel suitable for road purposes, and there has been a fair road con- structed to the beach to haul this material to our county roada. On the 21st we went out to Salt - ford bridge. The ` comity engineer has had the abutments all reponsten and these abutments are now yin first class condition'. We went out to Nile and then to Dungannon. On this road north of Nile Mr. Irwin is claiming damages amounting to $377 for a ear accident, and also onbehalf of Miss C. Pentland, We find this road of an average width over culvert and at both sides for a considerable distance. We examined road No. 27A, Ashfield, and would recommend some maintenance if the expenditure is not now river our estimate. We went from there to Lucknow, and over the new Provincial County Road. to Wingham. En route examined the bridge at ,the foot of Dickie Hill. We would recommend a new con- crete arch culvert or bridge 66 feet Hong and 12 foot spate and that the hill be cut clown and widened, and if found practicable, to have hill -cutting commenced during the winter. A narrowstripof land will have to be bought on both sues over the hill top to get the required width to grade. We would ask the engineer to arrange this matter, We find the - new road constructed last year be- tween Whitechurch equal to or super- ior to any road in the County of Huron. We visited the Prairie road. This work has been completed and is, in our opinion. a first-class job. It would, in our opinion, be advisable next year to widen the culvert, and when this is done, it would be a perfect road. The committee recom- mended purchase of gravel pit from Mr. R, M, Young, Colborne, for $500, and reported: We recommend that all accounts on county roads pertain- ing to the Workmen's Compensation Act or ally other accounts pertaining to (food ].toads should gothrough the County Road Superintendent's office so that they conid be verified and the statutory grants obtained on same. Claims for Damages Disposed Of Re claim of George Irwin ,Dun- gannon for damages to car, clothing, medical assistance, $403, we admit no liability and take no action. Re claim of A. H. Graham, Howick, for $90, we reemmend no action. Re claim of John T. 'Lennox, Wingham, - for broken sprin gin automobile, $3.85, we recommend no action, Re renewed claim of Patrick Moran, Ashfield, for broken wagon reach pole, we recom- mend no action. Re claim of Ernest Blake, Ashfield, in regard to dump- ing rubbish on county road opposite Ms farm, we do not approve of rub- bish being dumped on roads, and when he furnishes committee with the blame of the party who did it, we will take action to have said eels- ence removed.

Re motion of Messrs. Hanley and Bays for the money received for old timber of Bannockburn bridge, sent to the county treasurer to be returned to the treasurer of Stanley, we recom- mend that this be done. Re motion of ]Messrs. 'McQuaid and McCutcheon that t the boundary oad r between Mc- Killop and Grey be designated as a county road, we recommend that this be granted, Further Grants to Brussels and Blyth 1've recommend that a further grant of $1,275.60 be made to the vil- lage of Brussels andthat an agree- ment be entered into with the villages whereby they-re-iuiburse the county to the extent of the amount not coy-, erecl` by the Government grant, viz.,;'' $765.36. We recommend that a fur- ther grant of $2,205.50 be made to the village of Blyth in 'accordance with agreement entered into with the vil- lage. The toad frons. Amberley to the easterly limits of Grey has been approved as a County Provincial broad and this has been the only coun- ty provincial road granted by the Highway Department in Ontario in 1924. We recommend that $9.57 be. paid on the account of McKillop Telephone System of $16.45, for wire• and moving poles oft Road No. 12. That $15 be paid on account of Crediton Rural Telephone Co. for moving polesandwires.' That one half the Hay Tu. Telephone System's - cos.!. of'moving poles on Like Shore road, be paid, And that the' county. pay 40 per, cent. 'of the cost of cal- cium chloride and oiling on county roads in hamlets and villages., Responsibility for Stock Runningat Large on Designated Roads. At the Thursday morning session Mr, Robertson ,brought up the matter of an accident •• which occurred in the Township of Colborne on the county road, The -question involved' was as to the responsibility for stock running at, large on county designat- ed roads. It was- . pointed. out that a township bylaw lorbidding'stock on township roads, did not affect the running at large of stock on a county designated road. Mr, Robertson said his object in bringing the matter to the notice of the county was to secure uniformity, in the county. The question' was further - discussed by :Messrs. Neel), Hanley, Sanders, Mid-, dleton, 'H.`J. A, MacEwait and Barker and it was decided," on motion : of ss At this season of the year there is considerablecontroversy over writ- ing "Xmas" for "Christmas". The, riter prefers the latter, trot that "X"'' in "Sanas" has anything to do with - the cross, as one exchange holds, The "X" stands for the Greek letters "Ch" which is written like the English "X". Webster's dictionary gives the derivation of Christ as the Greet: word Christos, meaning anointed, and under Abbreviations he gives "Xmas --Christmas, Ztn--Christian; Xper— Christopher" He evidently thinks the abbreviation quite correct. COUNTY COUNCIL The December .session, of the comity council opened on 'Tuesday afternoon, Dec. and, with all the members present. Warden Irwin, in his opening remarks, expressed his pleasure at seeing the members pres- ent, all full of health and vigor, and ready for the work" of the session. Since the last meeting of the council the County of Huron had been bless- ed with a bountiful harvest, for which all were thankful, He had visited the County Home and fount everything n g in hrst-class shape and the place was well kept, neat and clean. He had visited also the County Shelter at the annual meeting, at which Mr. J. J. Kelso was present, and found every- thing well kept, under the care of the Matron. lir. Elliott, the County Agent, had the wink very mach at heart and left nothing undone he could do. There was a great deal of business to be disposed of at this session and he hoped for a good ses- sion. The large sums the county is called upon to pay to Collegiate Institutes of other counties is soine- thing that is causing serious thought by the council. icor instance at this session of the council accounts have come in from I;oadan .. 4 hurt!!

London. amounting to the county home, be ret'ereed to a $860-53 between them, and $1,453.11 F from Lucknow Continuation School, committee of the whole council and Dr. Milne pointed out that the county that we ask Mr. Patty, of /reason, gets bills front London, Lucknow, inspector and our solicitor, to Iiarristan, Listowel, tit. Marys, Un -,appear before the council tomorrow. This is a case where a lady having chell and Parkhill and there does not cent to be any offset in the way of pupils Iuron County can charge other counties for. The law provides for Collegiates receiving pupils from an adjacent•county and charging the county from which the pupils come, but Ur. Milne said he was far from satisfied that a student should go past two or three schools in his own county and go to a school in London for instance, simply because :his or her grandmother heed there and he or she could Pet cheap board, it would. pay this county better to pay the board of such a pupil and have him attend our own Collegiates in- stead of being bitted for large sums to help maintain half million dollar Collegiates in London. He wanted to get the solicitor's opinion on the situ- ation and arrangements had been made for hint to meet the committee. There are a number ofclaims for damages against the county, Henry Corey, of Clinton, asks for $165 dam- ages for a horse which jumped over a bridge on the second concession of Stanley into the river, on account of the lack of a railing Ezekiei Phil- lips,' of Auburn; asks damages owing to a buggy wheel being caught in wire at the side of the road witch re- sulted in a` runaway, and int his being dragged some distance. John T. Len- nox, of Wingham, broke an axle com- ing to Goderich on July 12th, owing, he claimed, to a hole in the road at a culvert, which was being repaired. John Hey, of -Zurich, had an auto upset by reason of the earth giving away under his car, and he claimed damages. A, A. Graham, Gorrie, R.R. No. 1, also has a claim for auto -damages and there a number of others. •IMAM The road from ,u erley running through Lucknow and Wingham has been taken over as a provincial road, approval -haying been received ,from the highways Department. Lincoln .County forwards a resolu Was defeated I5 to 13. Mr, McQuaid some means was takenin the County .Monne as she .had nowhere else to go, and her money was taken over by the county for her keep. The solicitor's advice was that the county had noth- ing to do with such a claim as airs. Abraham's. It was conceded by the council to he a just claim against the estate of the innate, and if presented before the estate was taken over :by the county, should have been paid. As a matter of fact, the County Home is not intended for persons having means for their own support, but in Huron a number of persons have been accepted as inmates who had some means, where the County Home made a convenient place for theta to go to spend their declining years; The matter of adjusting such a claim as Mrs. Abraham's is now beyond the jurisdiction of the council, and here remedy- is a suit against the estate: This being the situation, Mrs, Abraham thanked the council for the patient hearing given her, and Mr. Geiger for the kindly interest taken iu her case, and stated that, on the advice of'a solicitor, she had with- drawn .any claim made on the cottrt- eil and would resort to legal, action against the estate of the inmate -ia the case. It was moved by Messrs: Geiger' and Armstrong that in the case of all persons admitted to the House of Refuge having money_ or estate, an advertisement must he inserted in the papers of the county at least three insertions to the effect that all claim; and accounts against such parties must be sent in or reported to the inspector by a certain date, or they will not be considered. This motion was debated at some length. Some claimed that the passing of such a resolution, would have no legal effect and that the council would only be making, trouble for it- self by passing ,it. Mr. Geiger asked for the yeas and nays and the motion that could be done until a drainage scheme is devised, and the ` work, while expensive, is an excellent job. The committee met at.Goderich.
