Roads Commission Report. The County Roads Commission • re- ported as •foldOws: 'Since the January meeting of the ;Council, the work, on ;the County (Roads has been prolceeding as usual,' and due to the factthat the fall' of '1.930 was unusually dry, and the roads Contained little or no water during the winter, there was little frost damage in the Spring, and the roads were yin very good cond'ition. , An inspection of the roads was made, and the locations ,of proposed work was looked over. The north (boundary of Colborne Township, and the road at Centralia' were examined, and with regard to these requested additions to the County Road Sys- tem, we reconn'nnend that !they be given consideration when the bylaws at present before the ,Department of IHighways are reported on. The fo'llo'wing are the estimated ex- penditures'required on the 'Cou:rity Road System in 1931. '1.

Your commission feels that during the present period of low prices it would be unwise to postpone this work until such ,time as labor is scarce and prices high. Moreover, many residents 'and ratepayers within the county are in need of opportunity to earn money' from work on high - Ways, The cost, of this program to the County of Huron is equivalent to a two -'mill levy on the County—the same as we have had for a number of years. But in view of existing financ- ial conditions of the ratepayers, aiid in view of 'the fact that money can be borrowed at 4% by the County, the lowest rate for a long period, we recommend that the cost of a large part of the periinanen•t work (e,g. grading, 'hill -cutting, concrete bridges, etc.), be met by an issue of $22,500.00 of .debentures, and the county road rate be 1;% mills. 'Due to the fact that the Depart- ment of Highways may incorporate in the Provincial Highway System •cer- tain parts of the county roads in. Clinton and Exeter, the work` to 'be done on these streets is in doubt; We recommend that the policy of the Merchants and Employers' In- surance Cofnpanry re. highway liaibil9- ty be accepted at a premium of $451,67. Under the head of enquiries, Mr. Wright brought up the matter of the cost of a grant to libraries. He' was informed 'libraries got a grant of $25 and boundary libraries one- half.

McDonald and Cardiff, addressed the council, The reports of the Legislative, County Property, .Education, Finance and Exe'cutive Comauittees'were. sub- nritted. The -Finance Committee's report was as follows: We wish to call attention to the item No. 1'3, a ,b111 of $136.50 for the keep of J. H. 'Smith at the Industrial. Home. The committee is of the op- inion that the father should' maintain the boy, and that the clerk take steps to ascertain the full circumstances of the 'case and, if necessary, take steps to correct the same. We alsoc'ail attention to item No. 17 for $55:52 for Division Court. b'an'ks, and the :noany bills rendered from time to time of this nature. We are of the opinion that the comity taxpayers should not be call- ed upon to make it easy for people to go to law by paying the cast o'f paper, summonses, etc., used by these. counts but that these should be added to the costs of and paid for by the people involving the law. We have no ab'jeotion ,to providing our offic- ers with offices and books but the papers used and other expenses should be paid by the litigants. Re Corn Borer Inspector, we wish to draw the attention of the council to the large expenditure in enfo'rcing this act which cost the county $572 to date. We recommend that no more work be done this year. We recommend the auditors's re- port be accepted and printed in the minutes; that the .following rates be levied for 19311: General account 334 mills, old age pension 54 nitill, coun- ty highwsy PA milds, provincial high- way 1 .mill, a total of 6% mills. The Executive Committee report recommended that the bequests to the county and Children's Aid Society -,Col. Hoare $200; 'W. McDougall $500 and McKay 'Estate $1.000 be invested in government bonds and the interest used annually for that institution. This clause was adopted. Regarding the 'notion of Messrs. Amnstrong and Geiger that Mr. Ed- wards' salary be reduced from $1,000 per annum to $600 per annum for 1931, we recommend that this be re- ferred to the open council as the committee is divided on same. A lively 'discussion took place on this clause and Messrs. XICKi'bbon and Cctt moved an amend'm'ent that Mr, Edwards' salary be left the same as last year, $1,000, subject to the 5 • • One -Millionth Ford Made in Canada, II ANEW era in the progress of Canadian industry was hailed when the .one -millionth Ford car tobe made in Canada name off the final assembly .line. at the sat Windsor plantof the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited..
