At the last session an address on the good roads problems was given by Provincial Engineer Hubert. of Toronto. The county 11110 adopted the good roads system. The council made the following grants to patriotic purpose`s : Fon the patriotic fund, 58,000 per month; for the British Red Cross, 5500,060 ; as- sessable property, $5,000 fur the Canadian Red Cross and $1.,000 for the Navy League al Canada.
