A general -.discussion • took , place
with reference to the special levies

ered; a :baking cabinet with all con-

chen at a 'cost of $25; the committee
was still of the opinion that the in-'

perty should be increased to $50,000,
the additional $10,000 ;being placed
on the buildings and ,contents in ad-
dition -t0 the increasemadein June

meeting); the work of deepening the

good supply of water had been se-
cured at a cost of $405.05; the work
on the septic tank was completed at
a cost of $38.05, and the tank was
nowin. good working orcer; re re-
quest of the inspector for 'three
months' leave of absence, Mr. Tor-
rance had mentioned that in his 21
years of service the had never missed
a, ,committee meeting, and the com-
mittee recommended that the request
be granted Mr. J Reynolds having
offered to give the County 'Horne a
visit when ever his services are need-
ed, during the absence of the tnspeo
tor; that Thos. McMichael be given
the sum of $25 front his account for
the- purchase of clothing and that he
be given a holiday in February to

Kay had made a will in favor of Mrs,
Abraham far services rendered to
her during her sickness.
On Thursday morning ` the chair-
man of the 'Good Roads Commission
explained that the extra expenses of
the Commission this year were due to
trips to Toronto' inreferenceto the
new •niap and to other special mat-
ters, these specials costing $170,55
and regular meetings and inspections
$559.
The special committee recommend-
ed as follows: Re communication
front the Ontario Motor 'League and
others regarding lights on •horse-
drawn -vehicles, that the Legislature
be asked to pass an Act which would
require all ve'hi&les to carry a 'front
and a rear light on the public high-
ways between 'sundown and sunrise
(in committee of the whole this was
not adopted); re motion n of Messrs
Coultes and Middleton regarding the
raising of license fees on motor cars
equipped with ball; on tires, that no
action be taken. (The motion was
to petition the legislature to impose
an ad'd•itional, license fee of :t4 on
motor cars using balloon tires on ac-
count of extra damage to roads).
The education committee- re.mn-
trended' las 'follows: That the ac-
count of the Wroxeter • Cont:uuation
school, $1,835.76, be paid when all
,particulars are filed, and found cor-
rect; that report of Clifford Continu-
ation school, $2,132.12 'he paid when
all particulars are filed and found
correct; that account of Hensel' Con-
tinuation school be returned .for cor-
rection and paid ,when 'properly made
out; 'that acgount of Central Colleg-
iate Institute, London, $225.38, South
London Collegiate, $74.5$, and Lon-
don Technical High School, $12.45,
be paid; that before making pay-
ments to Continuation settools, our
clerk request a list of names and
days' attendance of each pupil as
required by law; that our clerk pre-
pare' all required information re-
garding dividing the County . of
Huron into High School districts to
be presented at the January meeting
as we feel that ott account of recent
legislation such is essential.
A second report of ,the Education
Committee recommended that the
Brussels Continuation School be paid

received.
That the following amounts be
paid the several 'High- Schools and
Collegiate Institutes in t$ County

Council withreferenc to the cost of
e
administration of justice. He claimed
that the extension of the ditties of
the Police Magistrate had been the
cause of a great saving, as cases thot
would cost a good deal snore if
brought before 'a higher 'court, 'coat
much leas when brought before the
1tagistrate,
The matter of speoiai levies out
various townships to equalize the ex-
penditure in :.the varioud' townships
was the: subject of a,, good deal of
discussion in committee. .Reeve
Geiger, of Hensel!, stood by the by-
law which levied these special assess-
ments and demanded that the de-
faulting townships pay their debts.
'.Warden 'Ro'bertson pointed out that
the twelve miles of road. from 'Gode-
rich to Auburn was not there solely
for the 'benefit of Colborne township,
and it was not fair to assessthat ex-
penditsre to that township, while
Goderich township was fortunate
enough to •have some Provincial
Highway running through it, which
reduced the amount it had to 'spend
out roads,.
With Mr. McKibben in the chair,
a 'general discussion took place with
reference 'to the compromise settle-
ment proposed at the forenoon ses-
sion. A motion was made by
Messrs. McEwan and J, F. Johnston
to reimburse those muttioipa'lities
which had paid their ,special levies to
the extent of 'half the. amount paid,
In "amendment it was moved by
Messrs. 'McQuaid and 'K•lopp that no
special levies be collected and no
reimbursements be made, Wand this
vms carried. The Good Roads sys-
tem is now put on the basis of a
County system irrespective . of the
mileage in any particular township,
which is, of course, the system which
was contemplated by the Province in
the Good Roads plan and, as was
pointed out, 'Huronis the only
County which Inc been trying to
carry 00t any other system.
The County Property Committee
reported 'having visited the Children's

needed a little attention in the way
of .polishing to prevent the wearing
of the same and the committee rec-
onurrended that a can of paint be
procured to paint the *,wainscot in
the front room.
,Everything was itt first-class
shape at the jail and there were five
prisoners. On the request of 'Turn-
key ,Garter for living room at the
jail the committee recommended .no
action as the cost would be very
considerable and as the surroundings
would not be to the best interests
of a young 'family,
The committee expressed - its
opinion that it Would be necessary in
the near future to 'install an entirely
new lavatory outfit, and so :thought
some small improvements could be
left over,
The Executive Committee reported
as follows:
Re motion of Messrs, Geiger and
Munnings in favor of a grant to the
Beck Memorial 'Fund, that this be
deferred to the January meeting,
when they hoped that a liberal grant
would be made.
Re motion of Messrs. Saunders and
Hanna in favor of a grant of $50 to
the Exeter Junior Plowman's 'Asso-
ciation, that the grant be made.
Re request of Mr, 'W. Lane for
8100 to employ assistance, that $50
be given.
The special committee appointed
to deal with a report of Engineer
Patterson, reported .recommending
that a copy of his explanation as to
Shipka drain be placed in the min-
utes, and reported that they believed
the complaints of Mr. McCubbin
'against the comity engineer to be
without foundation and that there
was carelessness on Mr, lefcCubbin's
part in connection with the Shipka
An evening session was held on

After the Warden resumed the

the County Engineer. It was under-
stood that County will be respons-
ible for the up -keep of the con-
necting links.
After adjournment the Warden
introduced Mr. Richardson from the
Forestry Department, who gave an
illustrated lecture to the County.
Councii.an'd to a fair audience on the
subject of Reforestation. He traced
the history of the development of
reforestation and showed by beautiful
colored slides the different stages of
development from rough waste land
to the beautifulyoung forests to 'be
seen where the work has been carried
on. He also quoted figures and facts
to show the terrible losses sustained
annually by the forests through fire
and showed on the screen the won-
derfully successful measures that are
being taken to check this waste and
the great danger to life and property.
Those .present expressed their ap-
preciation of the lecture by giving
Mr. Richardson a hearty vote of
thanks, which was moved by Mr. W.

Hockey Pictorial,
The editor has received a copy of
the 'Hockey 'Pictorial, 1926 edition,
w'hieh is now on sale at all news-
stands, and which is atonce the
handsomest and most complete pub-
lication ever produced in the world
for any single sport. tIt is a marvel
itt artistry. The book represents
years of effort. From cover to cover
it is embellished with group pictures
of .championship teams from 1888 to
1925, in fact, the history of Canada's
great national winter sport is ,toid
in pictures. Oldotimers will be in-
terested in the handsome •halftones of ,
the teams who were prominent a
generation ago, while the, younger
enthusiasts will enjoy the reproduc-
tions of the more recent winners.
The book is not only lavishly illus-
trated, but is literally crammed with
much interesting information regard-
ing individuals,' clubs, and leagues
throughout the country. Local 'hock-
ey fans will also find very interest-
ing group pictures of the United
