House of Refuge suitablts bridge to be built Road No. 1 (Prairie )oad) south of Wingham, we found in a reasonable state of repair, but would recomraend that the engineer consult with the Provincial Engineer regarding the, widening of the road. The balance of the road to 13lyth should be graded and graveled where necessary, and the street in Belgrave should be grad- ed, drained and gravelled. We strongly recommend that too much stress cannot be laid on the im- portance of draining all roads, as we consider that the first and. rnost nec- essary step in good roads construe.- tion and maintenance, tile to be used wherever possible so as to avoid danger from open ditches on sides of the e road. f We recommend that gasoline tree - h tors be bought to run. the graders , and erusher, more especially for grad - ling purposes, as we find that there s lis trouble he getting power when - wanted and when we have started we - should make it satisfactory- to get the work done and that three or four be - bought. - Re motion of Beavers and Erwin — that a by-law be passed designating f all roads in towns and villages, that are connecting imks in the minty system, we recommend that this be granted, if approved of by the De- partment.

Re motion of Arnistfrong and Beavers as to crusher, we 'recommend that if the department approves that this be done. Re raotion of Douglas and Isbester that a floor be put on the bridge at Wtoxeter and that this be looked after at once. Re motion of Crich and Armstrong as to elaim •of Alex.

Mrs', Taylor was . awarded $1,000, and an agreement signed. by .Mrs. Taylor acknowledging the pay- ment in full of all liability on behalf of the council. We met at Grand Bend on the seventeenth of April re the bridge crossing the river at that point, and after examining maps and docuinents found in the registry -office with reference to the matter and con- sulting our solicitor, we decided to take no action regarding the building of a new bridge, as we did not eon- sider the county of Huron liable. We notified the Warden of the county of La.mbton re result of your decisions A repdy has since been received from the solicitor of the county of Lambton, which we referrecl to our solicitor and the clerk was in- structed to write the clerk of the county of Larnbton for the plans, etc., of the proposed bridge or the improve- ment for the consideration of this council. The commission, deeided to purchase graders and a crusher for county pur- poses, after examining different grad- ers we purchased from the Sawyer - Massey firm, four of the large size graders and three of the smaller type, and from the Dominion Roads Go. of Goderich, a crusher, two scrapers, a rooter and a leveller, all of which have been approved by the Government. We went over Road No. 19, in the township -of Grey and found the same requiringrepairs which we recom- mended.

These are a monument and a fountain at a cost of about $6,000; a hospital at a cost of $10,000 and a memorial hall at an estimated cost of some $20,000. This hall would ha-ve the names of all the fallen soldiers in ;this district inscribed in it, would eon-. tam suitable provisions for a display of war relics and would have a -dub room, to be run under the super- .6sion of the Great War Veterans' As- sociation. The memorial hall was the suggestion of the War Veterans, ao they thought they were more capable of judging what their fallen comrades would approve, than an outsider, be- cause they had livedand fought with them. However, as Lieut. Silledpoint- ed out clearly at this meeting this was only a suggestion on the part of the G. W. V. A., and that this organized - tion were not asking anything for themselves. Now the writer thinks that they should not be forced to ask for anything, but that the commimity should consider their suggestion very seriously, because money can not pay these men nor the men who made the sacrifice for what they have done and that we owe thein a eomfertable club where they can meet ?their -comrades and -which they win not only appreci- ate now, but enjoy through tbe years to come. There is another point, We think that the opinion of what would be a suitable memorial, should be secured from the parents of, the brave boys who fell in . France, before the next meeting of the eonnnitteest and that these opinions shmelel be given- event eonsideration at the meeting which wUl be 'um in the course of a tett' weeks. It took men laid mcwayto - •win the war, but we should consider the Men first.

House of Refuge suitablts bridge to be built Road No. 1 (Prairie )oad) south of Wingham, we found in a reasonable state of repair, but would recomraend that the engineer consult with the Provincial Engineer regarding the, widening of the road. The balance of the road to 13lyth should be graded and graveled where necessary, and the street in Belgrave should be grad- ed, drained and gravelled. We strongly recommend that too much stress cannot be laid on the im- portance of draining all roads, as we consider that the first and. rnost nec- essary step in good roads construe.- tion and maintenance, tile to be used wherever possible so as to avoid danger from open ditches on sides of the e road. f We recommend that gasoline tree - h tors be bought to run. the graders , and erusher, more especially for grad - ling purposes, as we find that there s lis trouble he getting power when - wanted and when we have started we - should make it satisfactory- to get the work done and that three or four be - bought. - Re motion of Beavers and Erwin — that a by-law be passed designating f all roads in towns and villages, that are connecting imks in the minty system, we recommend that this be granted, if approved of by the De- partment.

Mrs', Taylor was . awarded $1,000, and an agreement signed. by .Mrs. Taylor acknowledging the pay- ment in full of all liability on behalf of the council. We met at Grand Bend on the seventeenth of April re the bridge crossing the river at that point, and after examining maps and docuinents found in the registry -office with reference to the matter and con- sulting our solicitor, we decided to take no action regarding the building of a new bridge, as we did not eon- sider the county of Huron liable. We notified the Warden of the county of La.mbton re result of your decisions A repdy has since been received from the solicitor of the county of Lambton, which we referrecl to our solicitor and the clerk was in- structed to write the clerk of the county of Larnbton for the plans, etc., of the proposed bridge or the improve- ment for the consideration of this council. The commission, deeided to purchase graders and a crusher for county pur- poses, after examining different grad- ers we purchased from the Sawyer - Massey firm, four of the large size graders and three of the smaller type, and from the Dominion Roads Go. of Goderich, a crusher, two scrapers, a rooter and a leveller, all of which have been approved by the Government. We went over Road No. 19, in the township -of Grey and found the same requiringrepairs which we recom- mended.

These are a monument and a fountain at a cost of about $6,000; a hospital at a cost of $10,000 and a memorial hall at an estimated cost of some $20,000. This hall would ha-ve the names of all the fallen soldiers in ;this district inscribed in it, would eon-. tam suitable provisions for a display of war relics and would have a -dub room, to be run under the super- .6sion of the Great War Veterans' As- sociation. The memorial hall was the suggestion of the War Veterans, ao they thought they were more capable of judging what their fallen comrades would approve, than an outsider, be- cause they had livedand fought with them. However, as Lieut. Silledpoint- ed out clearly at this meeting this was only a suggestion on the part of the G. W. V. A., and that this organized - tion were not asking anything for themselves. Now the writer thinks that they should not be forced to ask for anything, but that the commimity should consider their suggestion very seriously, because money can not pay these men nor the men who made the sacrifice for what they have done and that we owe thein a eomfertable club where they can meet ?their -comrades and -which they win not only appreci- ate now, but enjoy through tbe years to come. There is another point, We think that the opinion of what would be a suitable memorial, should be secured from the parents of, the brave boys who fell in . France, before the next meeting of the eonnnitteest and that these opinions shmelel be given- event eonsideration at the meeting which wUl be 'um in the course of a tett' weeks. It took men laid mcwayto - •win the war, but we should consider the Men first. That is why we should use out returned boys wet it was their sacrifice and service that seyea our home for us, Should- NV not =Am a home for theniT----A Citizen.
