.7_ COUNTY ENGINEER'S 11SPORT.
The following report of the County
_Engineer was read and referred to the
Imance Committee ; -
To the Warden and County Council :
GENTLEMEN : The repairs of the Coun-
ty gravel roads are now proceeding with
considerable speed. Th.e London Road
has been graveled. for a distance of six
miles, and. will be finished
from the
boundary line of Middlesex to •Bruce -
field, about the middle of the present
month. The length of this section is
twenty-four miles, and the repairs re-
quiredwill average eighteen cords of
egraveleto the mile. at a cost' of about
e1.,200.. The culverts and bridges are in
good condition, with the exception of
the long bridge at Clinton, which has
stood fifteen years and is now quite un-
• safe. The expense of a new bridge will
be about WO. On the road from Clin-
ton to- NcTinghara the bridges are in good
condition. A few of the culverts re-
quire to be rebuilt, and the amount of
gravel needed will be twenty-five
cords to the acre, at a cost of $1,450, and
$250 for culverts. The north end of this
toad, crossing Wingham prairie, was
covered with water for seven-eighthS
&mile, and was impassable for nearly a
week during the freafiet of last spring.
It will, therefore, be required to be rais-
ed in sotne •places nearly three feet.
There should also be another bridge
built., There are several old channels
crossing this prairie, on which bridges
were, built when the road was made, but
they are by no means sufficient to allow
the free passage of the water during a
freshet, especially since the country Was
cleared up. If the road is raised. so as
to make it passable at . high water, and
prevent the river from running over it,
anadditional bridge is indispensable. The
expense to raise and wideri the road,
and build a bridge will be about $4200.
To repair the road north frora Wing-
• hart" forty cords of gravel will be re-
quired. for each, mile, at a cost of $475:
The line of road fi out Belli:rare to
Wroxeter is siic miles in length, and is
in a very rough state. To repair it effec-
tively will cost $560.
The liowick Road, from the boundary
of Turnberry to Miller's corner, five
miles, and. can be repaired. for $425.
•krom Wroxeter to Sea.forth is twenty-
six ontes. The average quantity of
gravel wanted for this road is thirty
cords tc, the mile, and the cost about
$1.,950. Stone a.butraeats are also re-
quired. for the bridge crossing the mid-
dle branch of the M aitland Itiver. To
- make those abutments durable, and in.
every way to fit it for a substantial
bridge, will cost $1,050.
From Seaforth to Bayfield about eight
miles of the road has been repaired.
The contract price for gravel is2 97
per cord, aint. the distaece seventeen
miles. The cog of graveling will be
$950, and. $250 will be -required. for re-
• pairing Bannockburn, bridge, There are
two culverts on thislineof road which
the occupants (If the adjoining lands
have requested to be set down loev
enough to draw the water. from drains
cut in low, wet laud.. Hitherto these
culverts have taken the water from the
road quite freely, and I am cloubtfalif
the corporation of the Couuty are bound
to incur this extra expense, as the bene;
• fit derived from the work would be en-
tirely in favor of the land. owners.
The road through Usborne township
had no repairs last year. It will, there-
fore, require one hundred and fifty cords
ef gravel this season, at a cost 6f about
$405. •
From Devon to Creditor', in, the town-
ship of Stephen, the dista.nce is nearly
four miles. The westerly mile and. a
quarter of the road. is in very bad condi-
tion, and. one hundred and fifty cords of
gravel will be required for its repair,
whichwill cost $160.
The Hay Road, fro'' the rnvillage of
Zarids to the London Read. Six and. a
quarter miles, is, with the exceptioa of
the eranberry marsh, iu rather better
condition, and can be repaired for $660.
'From. Bayfield to (..toderich three
miles have been repeired. This part of
the road was very much cut up on ac-
count of the great amount of cerdwood
• whiph had. been hauled over it. - 'The re-
pairs of the whole section will cost for
graveline $1,250, and for bridg,es and
calvertsz'$300.
The Lake- shore road, running
through the whole length of Ashfield
township and. part of Colborne, is nine-
teea aq. a 'half miles in length. It is
very *tell in want of repairs, and
shouhrhave at 'east forty cords of gravel
to the mile. About $2,500 for gravel-
keaads$250 for repairing bridges and.
ert.
Per the Lucknow and Goderich roaA
a sum of $2,500 has already been voted.
This is barely enough to repair the
graeel. Several bridges and all the cul-
verts are in the worst possible state, and
unless the Council grant an additional
$1,000 to put these structures in good
order, the road will not be in a satisfac-
tory state. Four hundred and. fifty idol-
, Iartseetaee.leeady been spent on one
bidgelon
On the Huron Reads front Goclerich
town to the boundary of Perth County,
ashore piece has been repaired where
the road was impassableo in the spring,
withinthe corperation of Goderich.
There is still about twenty-four nailes
on which nothing has been done, except
to repair a few culverts. The east end
of the road is in the worst possible. con-
dition, and cannot be repaired with. less
than forty cords of grevel to the mile.
About thirtyttwo cords to the mile will
be sufficient from. Goderieh to Seaforth,
costing $2,020 for graveling, and $375
- for bridges and. culverts.
Ball's bridge, on the Meitland River,
. three miles down the stream. from Man-
chester, had. the front of one pier damag-
ed by timber rafted down the stream
-
during the spring freshet. I visited the
bridge on the 25th of April, and found
a raft of square timber lodged ag,ainst
one pier, the front piece of which was
split to pieces and wrenched off. Luck-
ily, the bridge is built high, and the
front of /the piers fastened with iron
pies in place of the usual wooden ones,
and, consequently, the damage done was
only Slight. Parties raftiug timber on
streams that are not na igable, Should
be held reseonsible for damage done to
bridges. -
For bridges distinct and separate
from those on the gravel roads' one at
Quinn's mill, on the BayfieldRiver.
needs rebuilding from the foundation.
It has stood eixteen years, and is no
longer safe. The probable cost of re-
building it will be $750. Another- on
the same stream wants repairs at an ex-
pense of about $75, and the longbridge
at Bayfield. requires a new floor, which
will cost $150.
The cost of the masonry at the new
bridge now under construction on the
'Maitland River, at Ben Miller's, is $7 a
cubic yard, and the timber $2,300.
. . .
cannot well let the centred for building
the superstructure until the masonry is
furth.er advanced. but the cost of the
whole bridge will be $10,000; as near as
may be. . A. BAY',

-MINUTES TO BE BOUND. . •
• Moved by Mee -Gibson, seconded by
Mr. Weir, that the Clerk be instructed.
to have two copies of the minutes of the
Council for each year well bound in one
volume, and labeled with their dates, in
order to preservethem as records of the
County—Carried. . _
RAILWAY AND GRAVEL ROAD DEBT.
Moved by Mr. Cresswell, seconded by
Mr. McDonald, that the Clerk he „in-
structed to 'prepare a statement showing
the arhount which each municipality bee
does not apply. This is not a boundary
line between two municipalities. within
the County, nor does tbe river form the
boundary line between two counties.
The introduction of the words on cross-
ing" into the earlier part of the section
and their omission from the latter part
seem to me. to be fatal to the contention
that section 413 covers this case."
TR01-11AS Moss.
THE MUNICIPAL ACT.
Moved by Mr. Gibson, seconded by
Mr. Perkins, that the Warden and Clerk
-be 'authorized to*petition the Legislature -
to have that portion of the municipal aot
bearing on boundary lines amended, by
having Counties to maintain County
boundary bridge's as well as Township
boundary bridges, where the bridge is
necessarily fifty feet long. Carried.
NORTH RIDING REGISTRY 'OFFICE.
Moved by Mr. Young, seconded by
Mr.' Douglass, that the Clerk be in-
structed. to requeit Mr. Gibson, member
for the North Riding of Huebn, on be-
half ofs this Council, to bring in a bill
next Session of Parliament, requesting to
have the County reunited for Registra-
tion purposes, and act in union with
the County of Perth, and any Other
Counties in a similar position, in this
matter, and that the Treasurer be in-
structed toliay all neeessary expenses in-
curred in connection therewith, and that
the Clerk notify the Council of Perth 91
this action in the matter, and that a
copy of this resolution be forwarded to
the Government. Carried in silence.

Treasurer m reference teethe Municipal
Loan Fund indebtedness, and believe
that it had. a good effect. In reference,
to the correspondence frem the Provin-
cial Secretary, regarding the erection of
anew Registry office for North Huron,
the Committee "recommended that the,
building of a Registry office be not pro-
ceeded. with, as the Council consider
'that a separate office is not necessary,
and is a serious loss to the County."
Grants of $400 each, to Clinton and God.-
erich Grammar schools, were recom•
mended: In reference to the Engineer's
report, the Committee made the follow-
ing delivery: "The estimate of requir-
ed expenditure on gravel roads, amount-
ing to $24,295, we recommend that as
the taxes are likely to be hih, these
expenditures be reduced 60 per cent. on
the graveling, and that the road. on the
Wingham prairie be raised one foob. and
a half out of the allowed expenditure.
That the bridge -at Winghana, recom-
mended to be rebuilt by the Engineer,
be not rebuilt. That the Engineer re-
pair or rebuild bridges where it is neces-
sary they should be repaired or rebuilt.
The culverts mentioned in -the En-
gineer's report as having been requested
to be lowered by parties draining lands,
in order to take off water, we recommend
that such a,pplioations be granted. in all
cases, the work to be done under the
supervision oi the Engineer, when
it is wanted for underdrainage.
A. Statement from the Treasurer; shows
the estimated expenditure for 1873
to amount —to $35,650. To this has
to be added the estimated expenditure
for repairs of gravel roads, amounting to
$10,000, which mattes the sam of $45,-
650. As the bridge at Ben Miller's is
being constructed at an estimated cost of
$10,000, this also must be evided, whieh
will make a aum—exelueive of the Legis-
lative School Equivalent—of $55,650 to
be raised_ for the year 1873."

ty, and eighty cents per acre of cleared
land for 1st, 2d and 3d. respectivelyi as
amount of personal property iiihich will
account for the increase in this partich-

The representatives ofiColborne, West
Wawa -nosh, Goderieh, Clinton, and Sea -

the report, reducing the equalised value
of property in each municipality. These
amendments. were each supported by
eloquent and touching speeches 'by the
representatives of the municipalities con-
cerned, setting forth the gross injustice
that was being done, and the poor, miser-
able and beggarly condition of the muui-
cipalitiee thus oppressed. But, all was
was in vain, the Council were inexorable,
and after peaceably submitting to the
infliction until well nigh twelve o'clock,
adopted the report without alteration,
except iu the case of Clinton, which was
reduced $25,000 on the equalized value,
$75,000 being the reduction asked for by
its representative.

should not be thrown on the ,Engineer.
The Council were as much to blame for
the erection of such a bridge in such a
place as the Engineer. At the December
meeting of the tamety Council the Engi-
neer was instructed to erect a bridge at
Ben Miller, with stone abutments, the
cost of which was then estimated at seven
or eight thousand dollars. If there was
no need of such a bridge the Council
should not have given these instructions.
En acting as they had, done, he believed
-that the Council had acted wrongly, and
he, for one, was willing to bear his share
of the blame, and did not wish to shove
it off on to the Engineer. He understood.
that the contract for erecting the abut-
ments of this bridge had already been
let, and if the motion ;would carry, the
Council would be_ making the County
liable for an action for demages.
After some further discussion Mr.
Leekie's &lotion was withdrawn, and the
following resolution was pet and carried.:
Moved. by Mr. Gibson, secoeded by Mr.
Cresswell, that the Warden and Messrs.
Gibbons and Leckie be re Committee to
ascertain whether or not the contract for
buildine the piers for the bridge at Ben
Miller "be let, and 'if so. whether the
contract cannot be ,e,ancelled for a con- •
sideration, that the building of the
bridge may be deferred for a time. A
further resolution was carried, to the ef-
fect that the Engineer be instructed not
to proceed with the,erection of the bridge
till further notified. Whether or not the
bridge will be built, will, doubtless, de-
pend upon the arrangement the Commit-
tee will be able to make with the contrac-
tor of the piers, and the report they
make. As the Committee have to. report
to the Council before further action is
tauten, the work on the bridge cannot be
proceeded with until after the next meet-
ing of Cnuncil. If, therefore, the Com-
mittee can come* to an arrangement with
the contractor of the piers, and satisfy
him. the work will remain where it is.
If the Committee cannot so arrange, the
piers will have to be built and paid for, -
and. the remainder of the bridge, which
has not yet been contracted. for, left till
further aetion is taken by the Council.

LAST DAY.
The Council met at nine o'cloick on
Satuelay morning pursuant to adjourn-
ment. The Warden in the chair. Min-
utes of previous Meeting were read and
approved.
REPORT OF ROAD AND BRIDGE CoMMITTEE.
A report of the Road and Bridge Com-
mittee was read. This report recom-
mended the adoption of the various me
tens recommending grants to various
-municipalities for interior and. Comity
boundary line bridges.
It was inoved by Mr. Brown, of Mor-
ris, seconded by Mr. Weir, that the re-
port be ainended to the effect that none
of the motions for grants referred to in
the report be granted. The amendment
to the report. was carried on a division
by a majority of eight. ,
Moved by Mr. Cresswell, eecended by
Mr. Willis, that the County Engineer be
instructed to exercise the most rigid
economy in regard to the repeirs on
bridges on internal bounda.ry lines, and
in no case to build or rebuild a new
bridge unless it is an absolute necessity,
and impossible to repair the old struc-
ture.
The result of the first of these motions
will be, that all townships having bridges
requiring repairs to be rebuilt, on
County boUnclariesewill have to do so.at.
their own expense without any aid from
the County. But the act distinctly
states that all bridges on township or in-
ternal boundaries must be naaintained. by
the County. Consequently the Council,
although it could refuse to grant requests

The second motion, therefore, comes in to
keep the expenditure on them Luskin' aS'pOS-
sible. So that, for the preseut year, as lit-
tle repairs and expenditure as possible
will be put on toweemp boundary bridges.
It was the feeling of the Council that at
the next session of the Legislature the
act would be so amended as to place all
bridges of a certain span under the con-
trol of the County, or else compel each
township to keep up its own boundary
• bridges, and thus put all on a more equal
foosing. Psnding this action of the
Legisfature it was not deemed. prudent
for the County to incur any heavy ex-
penditure for township bomtdary bridges,
while townships which have to build -
Comity boundary bridges without Coun-
ty aid, will also have to assist to pay any
expenses_ incurred on township boun-
daries.

REPORT.
Members — Messrs. Snell, Shannon,
Cresswell, Armstrong, Perkins; David
Scott, Willson, Patton and Greenway.
Your Cenarnittee having carefully exam-
ined the Assessment Rolls of the differ-
ent municipalities, and having considerei
quality of land, advantages, etc., beg to
submit the result of their deliberations
as per schedule herewith. While there
is a marked improvement in the rolls of
some townships, in others the practice of
assessing very mueli below the real value
appears to be continued. as heretofore.
hence the great difference of figures in
the " Increase " column. Your Com-
mittee have gone to considerable trouble,
in order to find a more correct basis for
equalizing personal property. In pursu-
ance of this, a memorandum was taken
of the icumber of horses, cattle-, sheep
and hogs,as Shown on the roll of each
413. I am of opinion that section 413 great satisfaction at the action of the 1 tory. Por instance in Stanley, only
Mr. Leckie moved, seconded by Mr.
Scott; of Morris, a resolution to the effect
that -the work on the Ben Miller bridge
be not proceeded with.
Mr. Leckie, in support of his motion,
stated that- in Company with other
Councilors he had on that morning.paid
a visit to the place where this $10,000
bridge is to be erected. had carefully
examined the old bridge. and had no
hesitation in saying that it was better
than many other bridges in the County,
and that there was no necessity for the
erection of a new bridge. With repairs FARM FOR SALE.

sibly pass over it. This bridge at best
was only for the accommodation of sonie
fifteen or twenty persons. There could
be no heavy teenaing over it, from the
fact that the hill at one end of it was 80
steep th4t no team could take a heavy
load either up or down it. To expend
$10,000 in building a bridge in such a
place was, in his opinion, simply throw-
ing it away.
