HURON COUNTY ROADS'
The following is a summary of the
work', and expenditure on County
roads during the past year as sub-
mitted to the County Council by the
County Engineer:
In accordance with the desire and
appropriations of this. Council the ex-
penditures on the Highways during
1924 were considerably less' than
those of previous years, This reduc-
tion in expenditure was effected lar-
gely by a curtailment. of the work of
resurfacing of the road's, and to some
extent by a reduction of the regrad-
ing operations. Tliis policy, which
has been iii effect for tic past few.
years, is, however,' halving the expects
ed effect on ,'the Highways. The gen-
eral condition of the reacts was snot
so good as they were during 1921 and
:t922, and the lack of necessary gravel
is rendering it iitoreasiaigly . difficult
to prevent the road surface frorii be-

many applications 'for work which
could not be given. This was'in spite
of the fact that the work on the
farms of the past year probably oc-
enpiecl' more attention than for many
years on accottnt of the heavy crop
and other factors. The conclusion
nitist be that the farms are not be-
ing worked s6: intensively asp forinei'-
ly or that the labor Supply. of the
county has increased.
The Most ` important event of the
year was the raising of the status of
road, No. 2z to that of ,Provincial
County Road. Huron was the only
County in the Province to be so fav-
ored and thanks aro due to the Iocal
:
members of the Legislature for iassis-
tante in the matter. This county has
not been getting its shate of Govern-
ment moneys itt the peat.
The snow roads of the past year
required a great deal of work to keep
"them in suitable condition and much
more work (night be done.. Attcf-
tion has been given to the removal of
obstructions on the sides of roads,
such as hedges and fences, which

cause accumulations of snow, and some conditions oil, however, is to be
there are many opportunities for im-
provements ill this regard as yet.
It is noted 'that road. grading opera-
tions at points which are 'habitually
blocked, irtvariably :relieve' the situa-
tion. In the spring, in ordel: to- open
1:he roads to motor traffic and pre-
vent the deterioration of the road,
inuch work is required in removing
the snow, and ice ° from tbedrifted
points. I believe that the policy of
paying recl'uced rates . for work on
snow roads is reasonable and will
work satisfactorily.
No bridges were painted during the
year and few were ref1oored; although
some necessary repairs to abiitiiieuits
were made. Dragging ,operations
were carried out as far as possible,
but lack of surfacing• material is a
very discouraging feature for this
portaht operation.

How to Trac ` Tractor Troj flies
Ey E1 WIN G EER
(President Greer College of Automotive Engineering, Chicago)
The tractor engine differs from.
the automobile engine only to that
it is of heavier construction, loner
stroke and of slower speed which is
kept constant by a governor. And
because of these differences tractor
engines offer other distinct prob-
lems in operation aside from general
Mt to which the automobile. engine
is "heir. Those ordinary troubles
can., be cured, by anyone with 'a
working knowledge of gas engines.
Many tractors are designed to run
on kerosene as,well as gasoline.
Kerosene volatilizes much slower
,than gasoline, hence heat is the drily,
thing that renders ,;kerosene volatile
enough for use, and even then the
engine parts trust move slower. than
when est.ng gasoline to gain the full
benefit from its use,
11 you find that your kerosene is
condensing acid impairing the work
of your tractor engine more than
!should be expected, look at once to
heating devices attached to the car-
buretor and manifold. Qne way to
test this is gauge the palling power
of the engine. If the f ue adjust -
meat is' sihut down as far as ' is
practical to give a good mixture and
there is still a decided lack of power.
the chances are that the kerosene
gas is chill:•rig bclowv the safety
point. Another way is to watch
the exhaust. If :: the carburetor is
adjusted properly alit there is black
smoke: issuing froth the exhaust pipie,.
condensation is taking place, and the
'kerosene is not properly tatiltzed.
"l�.erosene knocking" is ail ail/Mill
,which many operators of kerosene
ttractors have to overcome. It Isn't
one-half se bad as it sounds. Si*61
knock may occur because of ac-
cumulated : carbon in the ''clyinders,
butfthere is yet another reason. .Pia
kerosene knock may occur because
of the differences of combustion

and gasoline. '.Cheheating: value of.,
