REPORT OF ROAD COMMISSION The program of work outlined in Jumee bas not been quite completed owing to bad weather conditions, but the funds provided for the work will be a ece by the end of the year, as costs were somewhat higher this year, due largely to the same cause. The ;proposed machinery shop , is nearing completion and will be avail- able for use' at an early! date, ...- It is planned to keep the . county roads open for wheel traffic as far as possible this winter as was dune last year: The number of storms and the amount of . snowfall will affect the amount of service given and the value to be reeeive'd for the cost. Respecting applications for the Plowing of snow on 'certain township roads, we recommend that the coun- ty equipment undertake -this work, if the work on the county roads permits', providing the township is. agreeable to pay the cost. -'Respecting 'the motion that tee boundary of Howuc'k and Wallace be addedt to the, county system, of roads, the County of Perth has been asked to state its wishes in the matter, but np eal reeeiiq bee yet beet. received.

However, in many cases we Lind the 'roads atmoat "free of weeds and to. the adjacent fi'elde we see a profusion sof theme, which leads tor, the conclusion that permanent benefit to the county cannot be eecured until more action to cleat -my the weeds on the farms is taken. One of the prin- cipal 'benefits that I find is that 'by the object lesson in, weed' d'eatruction, the property owners many be induced to consider weed control more ser- foue'ly.
