s e of

Council,
'Seaforth, Ont„ Aug, 2, 1923;
Hon. o G. S. Fleur•
Minister of Public Highways,
Ontario.
Sir,. •
About two weeks, ago, Reeve F.
McQuaid, of McKilliop, telephoned o
behalf of the. McKillop Council to Et
gineer J. A., Tom, of the Provinci
Highway
a
t Stratford, d, a prote
against the blowing up and destrt1
tion of Silver Creek Bridge situate
oppositefine between Lots 23 and
1:011 1, IvMcKillop,
At the regular meeting of the Mc
Killop Council, held in Seaforth July
31st, it was moved by `Councillor
Medd, seconded by -Councillor• Moran
that this Council protest against any
c action being taken by the Highway
Department re the blowing up or de-
struction of the present Silver Creek
Bridge on Provincial' I•Iighsvay and
that a Memorial to that effect be sent
to the Minister of Public Highways,
and to be signed by the Reeve and
Clerk of Mel(illop on behalf of the
Council, Carried,
b�.R
i tb1t7RI
AL.
Whereas it appears that every Pre-
paration has been made by the Con-
tractor to' blow up and destroy the
present 'Silver Creek Bridge on Pro-
vincial Highway opposite line be-
tween Lots'23 and 24, Con. 1. Mc-
Killop; -
And whereas the' present structure
is a well built and substantial •strue-
ture with concrete ',abutments, with
steel girders and concrete floor, being
erected in June 1918, under plans and
specifications of the then Comity En-
•gineer of Huron, Donald A. Patter,.
son, and with an expert inspector,
Jas. Hays, of Egmondville, in charge
of 'construction work;'
And whereas it is in our judgment
a permanent structure and should not
be molested but in orciar to conform
to the Provincial Highway Act, that
extension abutment walls be erected
at both ends to bring it to a sufficient
width of roadway that extra steel
girders .be put on at both ends and
concrete floor be extended to a suf-
ficient, width.
And whereas there has'been too
dutch of this kind of work going on,
destroying good structures, during.
those past three years, being in our
opinion a wilful and extravagant'
waste of Provincial money and there.by also causing the Counties •to, hay.e
to pay more money to the Province,
as they are responsible for 20 per
cent. of the Provincial Highway ex-
penditure;
RESOLVED that, we. the"McK'1-
lop Council, ask you, Hon. Sir, as
head of the Ontario HighwayDepart-
ment, to' look carefully into the mer-
its of your Memorial and to so adjust
matters with the Engineer of your
Department that this splendid bridge
will not be destroyed, but only added
to at both ends, to conform to the
width of'the Ontario' Highways' ,Act

REMEMBERS THE OLD DAYS.
Mr. J. A. Murray, the popular rep-
resentative of the McKillop Mutual
Insurance Company became reminis-
cent one
da this
week, and while
speaking
of threshing,said there had
not been a year since 877 in which he
did not attend threshings. He is an
old thresher,
Mr, Murray recalled the old days
when this work was done with horse
power and the work continued on into
the cold, stormy weather• of winter,
when e t was by no means delightful
work 'to hitch up the teams and stand
all morning or afternoon on the freez-
ing, .slippery board in the centre of
the horse power, watching the five
span of horses, urging one. or re-
straining some young, excited team,
and keeping up the speed of the.cyl-
inder to a steady httn. •
lvfr. Murray, introduced the first
steam threshingoutfit into Tucker -
smith. This was the beginning of Aug-
ust, 1879, forty-f,ur years ago, and
the first work was done' on the Cam-
eron farm on the Mill road. He said
it was such a curiosity that the road
was lined with buggies which had
cone from all oyer the district to see
the new -outfit, and the farmers mar-
velled at the way it swallowed up the
sheaves.
Mr. • Murray is still a vigorous
young roan and the News hopes he
will tittencl many, many 0to•e thres11-
ings.
The ease with which corns and
warts can be' reomyed by Holloway's
Corn Remover is its strongest recont-
mend.ation. Lt seldom fails,
