As general rule the f e c u L y. >, c peliev outlined in my January re- port is being f-t1lowed, that is, re- stricting eying out work.; ort m g fuer envying of (+ y !, involving heavy. expenditures, and devoting most attention to maintain- ing a system of smnoih roads and improving them by adding gravel. The weather during the past win- ter tuns such that the roads suffered severely. The savings of expendi- tures on roads by reason of frost and snow during the winter is not often appreciated, and it required a season such as we had during the past winter to emphasize this truth. Spring found all roads in a very bad- ly mutilated t•ondition, although only two short sections failed to stand up under the lest. Tho work of trimming. and smoothing these roads up was considerable, but I ant pleased to re- port that our county roads, as 0 whole, are in much better condition than they have been previously. Our grading and dragging operations in- volved an expenditure of about 84000. When this amount is compared with the amount required for re -surfacing the roads, about $135,000, the relative value of the classes of work is most readily observed, and as the roads become better surfaced with, gravel less dragging will be required. The purchase of seven small Sawyer-Mnssey graders was made LIFE WAS A MISERY TO HER Says this Woman Until Re- lieved by Lydia E. Piiiltham's Vegetable Compound.

If you have any symptom about which you Would like to know write to the Lydia E. Pinkham .M,edicine Co. Lynn, Mass., for helpful advice given free of charge, this year, for smoothing the goads and general, work. It is expected, that the small grader Will eventually replace the road drag as more work can be done with less power, and as the smaller grader is capable of do- ing other work, although our drags this year have given us exicellent re- sults. It ie found the economical main- tenance of gravel roads depends to a large extent upon keeping the gravel applied ahead of the deteriora- tion of the road. Moreover, the ap- plication of this material roust at all times be • given careful thought and consideration and an effort is being made to have this wottk done without obstructing the traffic in ;any way. It is found that by placing new gravel on the sides and shoulders of the road that this can be accom- plished in most cases most advantage- ously. This has the effect of leav- ing the center of the road free for traffic and then when ruts form dur- ing the wet season, the clean gravel on the sides of the road is available to be scraped into them. This may seem a very radical process, and 1 have not heard of it being done any other place, but 1 am confident that it will prove very saGsfactoey by keeping the road clear, and edonom-' ical by preventing mud being scraped from the sides on the clean gravel in the centre of the road. Road drainage is an item of road construction which in the past has received a great deal of discussion, and it is universally agreed that drainage is one of the primary con- siderations. Nevertheless, it is a fact that it is constantly neglected. 11 is proposed this year to have many ditches un the sides of the road& cleaned out and carried to a sufficient outlet, so that no puddles or ponds of water will stand on the sides of the road to cause injury during the Winter and spring. We may not be able to accomplish this everywhere, but will do o as far as practicable this season. Many Ole drains in hilts have already been installed, and i1is hoped to have a number of other hills improved int this manner. There can be nu doubt that intelligent and proper drainage of 'roads will pay for itself in a very short time by the auving effected in the gravel neces- sary. Moreover, drains and ditches may be considered permanent. It may be necessary to rebuild a number of small bridges and culverts this year, and there are numbers of others that ordinarily would have outlived their usefulness. however, building materials are little reduced in price and we are attempting to keep these bridges in service for an- other year at least, thereby saving the interest on the investment, and being in a position to take advant- age of prospective lower prices. A slumber of towns are taking ad- vantage of the county grants for the improvement of cennec•ting links in the county rciad system. Application has been made to the Department of Highways to permit the county to crake such grants towards mainten- ance work on such connecting links, as iL is felt that the county can be real assistance to the towns and villages of the county in this way. Heavy expenditures on work classed as construction is not always the most judicious expenditure,endittre and yet such is all that the Provincial De- partntent will recognize, .A number of Police Villages/ are Laking advaritnge of the offer of the (-minty to oil the county road,, through the villages, provided the village contributed 40 per cent. of the cost. This would appear to be a very satisfactory arrangement and a, the prices of oil are declining, no doubt other villages will become in- terested. Labor conditions are much improv- ed this year as compared with reset-. years, and we are able to secure men and teams at lower rates, There is so much competition for work this year that we find it advantageous to let as much as Possible by contract, and propose to continue doing so. A list of orders issued for work done on the County Road System is attached. hereto, showing a total of $;11,339.38 already expended. The total estimated expenditure for the year is as follows: County Road Construction. $30,00l) Provincial County road and bridge construction 4,000 County road and bridge eon- • struetion 4,000 Machinery.... 3,000 Special grants to municipali- ties 6,500 Superintendence 4,000 Provincial county road main- tenance 20,000 County road maintenance... 70,001) Provincial $141,500 Highway 1320 expenditure 20 per cent 916.31 $'142,416.31 Grants 60,800.00 2 mill levy 86,002,80 $145,802,80 Leaving a surplus of $3,386.49. It night be 'noted here that the County of Huron has had the lowest levy, 2 stills, of all the counties in the Province. The county road levy of most counties ranges from 3 Mills to 11 mills, and but two counties have a greater mileage than Huron,—Roy Patterson, Engineer.
