Mr, Irwin, Provincial Engineer,
was present and was asked to ad-
dress the council.
1 Mr\ Irwin spoke of the importance
of the hew Highway Traffic Act and'
the need of•ebecoming familiar with
its provisions, as they were very im-
portant in the attempt to secure the
same traffic .and a proper 'protection
of our reads. He spoke with praise
of the condition of Huron roads
throughoutthe .county. Mr Irwin
gave moat of his address To the work
of the townships, which he found do-
ing good work.
Only nineteen townships of his dis-
trict Mill: were continuing statute la-
bor, nine- of ' which were in Huron.
The•average price per yard inile of
gravel by statute labor was $1.05; in
Huron, .92.2- cent, per mile, The av-
erage price by contract for thedis-
trict was 351-3 cents for Huron; 35.8
cents per yard mile. Dumping gravel
in large quantities was strongly con-
demned. It should be put on in thin
coats to protect the good bed already
provided.
Haulage of gravel by truck was
by far -the better and cheaper method
of putting on gravel. It was the most
of labor that, made road work ex-
pensive. -
In Elgin, 20c and 21c per yard inile
by trucks, 'and some townships in
Kent use these trucks to great ad-
vantage. They cost from 3800 to
$1,200, but they are a great saving in
road building. -
The work on Victoria Street, Gode-
rich, and in Brussels and Clinton, were
particularly commended as being
very 'Wise expenditures.
eIn'apeaking of the asphalt brick
pavement on a cement foundation in,
Seaforth, he said the best plan would
be to remove all the bricks and put
on a tarvia top oh the foundation
already provided. A tarvia top
should cost from 80c to 90c per
square yard. This would not include
the removing of the top already on_
Itwas not advlaable, nor would it
pay to • crush' the old bricks and put
on back streets.
Moved by Messrs. McQuaid and
Grieve, that the council- has listened
with much pleasure and profit to the
address of Mr. Irwin, and to show
the appreciation in which his services
have been held by this council, we
wish to call the attention of the Pro-
vincial Government to the untiring
efforts of Mr. Irwin, and would ask
them to consider favorably the ad-
vancement of Mr. Irwin in the De-
partment of Highways, and that a
copy of this resolution be sent to the
Premier and to the Minister of High-
ways.
The report of the Education Com-

Road and Bridge.
The report of the Road and Bridge
Committee was as follows:
The Committee met at Clinton on
July 19th and examined the county
bridges on the Bayfield River.
The bridge on Concession 2, Stan-
ley, was found to require repairs to
lobacco
Manufactured by Imperial Tobacco Cotopauy'
the approaches, guard fence and
stringers, and it was left with the
chairman of the committee torhave
these carried out, which has been
done.
Glen's bridge was found to be in
good condition and the Varna bridge,
to be in need of having the approach-
es widened. I
The next bridge examined was the
bridge at the corner of the county
adjoining Lambton and Middlesex.
This bridge appears to be used but
very little. The approaches had been
so washed that an automobile could
not pass in safety. It was proposed
to ascertain the wishes of Lambton
and Middlesex. with a view to having -
the bridge made passable.
The bridges on the Middlesex -
Stephen boundary were examined and
it was found that the approaches to
the Mud Creek bridge and the Aux
Sauble bridge required to be widen-
ed.
Small repairs were found necessary
to some bridges on the Usborne-Hib-
bert boundary and on the Usborne-
Tuckersmith bouedary. The approach-
es to Black's bridge on the McKillQp-
Hullett boundary should be widened
and Ball's bridge will require a new
floor in 1924.
The Hohnesville" bridge : and torr
Summerhill bridge were examinef
and found to be in good repair. - ,,e
On July 27th the committee Iiteh
at Wingham and examined the eenne.
ty bridges in the town. It was 'de-'
cided to have certainrepairs made is
the south approach of Xeckenzila
bridge, which have beet ' ed out
by Mr. Tipling,' rte' ,
We examined county bridges ,Soni
the lernee-Turnberry and the $rues
Howick, boundary and found them tw
be in good condition.
Michel bridge on , the 'Howie*,
Turnberry boundary required a new
floor and Mr. Spotton was authorized ,
to have the work done.
Day's bridge, at Wroifeter ' yiud
Baylor's on the '' Hawick -Wallace
boundary were found to be in good
condition. ,
On :the Emma -Grey boundary some
repairs wereand necessary to the
approaches athe two bridges, and
.the Brussels age was in need of a
new floor.
No new bridges were found im-
mediately necessary, although it is,
expected .that a small bridge will be
required in 1924 on the Usborne-
Hibbert boundary. --G. B. Hanley,
