Mr. McDonald complained of the
system of patrolmen driving their
own teams and charging the pay both
for the patrol man and the driver, also
the matter of work being done where
the residents concerned disapproved
of sech work or expenditure, It was
pointed, out that such things are tin-
der the control of the engineer.
Moved by Messrs. Geiger mad MC -
Naughton that the engineer and Good

not to use coarse gravel in repairing
roads, as this necessitates raking off
the •large stones into beeps, causing
expense and increa.sing the danger to

Mr. Hanley said it would be a great
saving to employ screens instead of
hauling stones, putting them on the
road and then raking the large ones
off again.

ported as follow:
We met in Winghani on Wednesday
May 28th. We examined the
McKinnon bridge on the county boun-
dary between.the townships of Turn -
berry and Culross. Here by previous
arrangement made by Mr. McEwen,
we met Messrs. McDonald and Tiffin,
representatives of the Bruce County
Council. This is only a small bridge
and it was decided that a new bridge
should be built this summer. By mu-
tual agreement with the representa-
tives from Bruce, it was decided to
have the bridge constructed under the
supervision of the Huron -County En-
gineer, he to advertise for tenders for
