advice of a solicitor, she had with-
drawn any claim madeon the coun-
cil."and would resort to legal action
against the estate of the inmate in
the case. .
It was moved by Messrs. Geiger
and Armstrong that in the case of all
persons admitted to the House: of
Refuge having money or estate, an
advertisement must be inserted in the
papers . of the county at least three
insertions to the effect that all
claims . and accounts against such
parties must be sent in or reported
tothe inspector by a certain date, or
they will not be considered. This
motion was debated at some length.
Some claimed that the passing of
such a resolution wbuld have no
legal effect and that the .council
would only be making trouble for 'it-
self by passing it. yr. Geiger .asked
for the yeas and nays and the motion
was defeated 15 to 13. Mr. McQuoid
then moved, seconded by Mr. Middl:ie-
ton, that the motion, be referred to
fhe county solicitor for his opinion,
and this was carried.
Mr. S. B. Stothers, Agricultural
Representative for the; county, who
was present during the session, was
asked to address the council. The
school fairs this year had been a
great success. The fruit or apple
industry was one 'that needed more
attention, as there was a great source
of revenue in apples: It was a great
-matter of regret that we were selling'
B. C. apples today in Ontario. Some
progiess had been made in supplying
the demand for labor for farms. 'The
corn borer came in for attention and
the farmers were being circularized,,
with reference to this matter.
Road and . bridge matters as usnal
took up a good share of attention -Of
the council.
Some .discussion tools place as to
the respective merits of oil, and cal-
cium chloride for •roads and the opin-
ion prevailed thatit depended large-
ly on the nature and condition of the
road and 'both depended on how,
where and when applied. In many
villages applying for oil, calciiin'i
chloride had been used, and the same
percentages were paid as for oil.
Moved by `'Messrs. Klapp and
Neeb: That county road and town-
ship
ownship road commissioners and county
constables be instructed . to - enforce
the heavy traffic motor laws more
strictly as to the capacity of loads
during the fall, winter' and spring.

Stephen, Hay, Stanley and Goderich
townships are abused by the heavily
loaded log trucks using these roads:—
Carried.
Mr. Hanley brought up the matter
as to who owned the gravel, on tate
lali.e beach. It was pointed otit that
the ,general practice was to pay for
right of .way to secure the gravel and
in some cases: paying for the.gravel
but not the right of way. Mr. Neel).
gave the opinion that the party own-
ing the property abutting the lake'
owned the gravel. •

vert, 8 -ft, spar, has been erected on
the cotulty,,,, provincial roadway in
Stephen just north of Centralia.
The road widening approved by the
county -council in June is under way.
Five new concrete culverts have been
completed south of Bayfield. The
county concrete plant at the Hey.ock
bridge is doing the excavating ; and
reconstruction of this difficult and
hazardous undertaking.
The curve leading to south' ap-
proach of Bayfield has been widened
new posts planted for guard railiaig,r
and the cable is ready for installing;
also some of- the shrubbery his. been
cut out, giving a better view to

on the bridge. '
South of Goderich on the provincial
county road three culverts have been
extended to comply with the High-
way 'Act
ighway'Act respecting bridges on pro-
vincial ''county roads. Five culverts
have been erected between Goderich
and Arpberley this suinner, • alai ,ex-
cellent structures. The McNain
bridge is in about the same condi-
tion as last spring, but is dangerous
for Heavily loaded vehicles.
The newavement at Blyth is an
P
excellent piece of road construction
in every respect. The 'Prairie' bridge
near Wingham is undergoing widen-
ing. At Gorrie a concrete footing has
been put in on the bridge abutments.
A gravel pit was bought • from W. G.
Strong, Howick, for $200. The work
at the sink hole east of Lakelet on
'Road No. 3o has been completed.
The method employed has 'been to
fill in with cedar rails, with about io
inches of gravel spread out to a
width of 20 feet. This is about all
that could be done until a drainage
scheme is devised, and the work,
while expensive, is an exec lent job.
The committee met at Goderich 'Nov.
zotli.; went to Bayfield where the
widening south of the bridge was
completed, 'a big improvement. The
county provincial road south of Bay-
field has been widened for one mile 111
to the regulation width , and re-
surfaced, an excellent job. Heyrock
bridge has been completed and is one
of the best structures in the :County
of Huron, and our county engineer is
deserving of great praise for the way
he has Handled this work. We would ,
