e,arried aestay a portion of the road,
causing clemage to the extent of a-
bout $300. Tee Asheield council,
who is reeponsible for the mainten-

a bridge cavned by the coenty. This
bridge tvlech was re -built a few
years ago was made several feet
shorter then the old on.e mad on this

The Educational committe report -

claims of the Walkertoa school we
advise that no money be paid for pu-
pils' previous to 1904 as notification
was received by clerk after Febru-
ary 18tb., 1904. The report of the
Godericb, Collegiete eestitute re-
epecting non-resident pupils is riot
satisfactory as it does not include
•statement of receipts for non-res-
ident pupils. Clinton Institute has
also omitted receipts. Seefortb. In-
stitute reports baying made c,ollec-
tions aceording to the act. We ad-
vise that the council require the a-
mount of collections nide by each
Institute as provided by the act. We
advise the payment of the claim of
the Listowel Institute as proper no-
tice bas been received. In reference
to the claim of Harriston for non-
resident pupils it is advised that the
clerk notify the, board to send an
account of claims after date of no-
tification and for which the county
is only responsible. The committee
idansider the county not liable for the.
Parkhill claim as notification Was
not received until after the time
specified by statute. The committee
advise that the seat of examination

We recent) nihrid. that the matter re-

to pay half the cost. The. old bridge
was about 100 feet long and. the new
one should be about 70 feet. I am of
the opinion that a steel bridge on

suitable. The old bridges 'will re-
quire about tbe usual amount of re-
