REPORT OF ROAD AND BRIDGE Cold^ NUTTER., • Your committee reports as follows • The County Connnissioner submitted the tenders for Mitchell bridge. We recommend' that the tender of F. Guttridge be accepted for the abut- ments., Tenders for the superstructure were received from Hamilton Bridge Company, the Brjdge Company at Stratford and the Mitchell Bridge Com- pany. After carefully examining the above tenders with specifications we recommend that the tender of the Hamilton Crimmtny be accepted. We recommend with regard to the propos- ed bridge over the Aux &tuba) river that the report of the County Commis- sioner be accepted. We recommend that the report of the County. Com- missionerbe printed in fulL REPORT OP THE iNisPECTOR Pus= sortooLs 33'OR WEST xiunoN. Derails the year 1900 five new 'Onion School sections. were formed out of parts of this inspectorate. They are: No. 2 Hullett and Goderich, Na. Goderich and Hullett, No. 10 Hullett and Goderich, No. 11 Hullett and East Wawanosh and No. 17 Stephen. and McGillivray. The formation of these Sections will necessitate the banding of three additional school houses. one of •which will be in this inspectorate. • For several years S. S. No. 1, A.shileld, and S. S. N. 2, Osborne, each had twe teachers but they are beginning the new century' with only one teacher. During 1903 theia were 133 teachers employed in the inspectorate of West Huron and there are 131 for the fleet term of 1901. Two fine new School houses with basements were huiltsin 1900. A stone building in S. S, No. 7, Ashfield, costing $1500 and a brick school house in S. S. No. 3, West • Wawanosh, at a cost of $1800. Several school houses were very much im- proved during the year and new desks pain them. Some of them were seat. ed with single desks. Trustees and teachers are giving more attentiori to • the interior decoration of the school rooms than ten years ago, The tea- cher and pawls should e especially interested in the condition of the school house and grounds and in every school section they should take a pride in keepina the school property in a very neat and attractive state. In *leveret sections a great deal is being done yet in nearly every section a marked inaproyeinerit could be made in the appearance of the school house and grounds with very little extra expense if the pupils and teacher would give Mune time every week to the beautify- ing and keeping in order of the school property. This would be an excellent training for the pupils and create in ' them habits of neatness and orderla nese, It is likely that during 1901 the School Act and Regulations will be revised and copies of the new volume distributed, I believe it would be a great advantage to trastees and teach- ers if the Minister of Education would bave four copies sent to each school seetion. One copy .should be kept at the school house arid a copy' held by each trustee. Many of the difficulties which arise in connection with school business are the results of trustees not knowing the requirements of the School Act and Regulations. REOE/PTS.

With regard to the petition asking to have a bridge erected over the Aux.Sauble river be- tween the counties of Huron and Larnbton, I visited the proposed bridge site andl am of the. -opinion the petitioners are rather premature in asking for the bridge until such time as they have a passable road to the place mentioned, In the event of a bridge being erected:over the Aux Sauble river in this locality I am of the opinion that it should be placed about ontrand a quarter miles further along the stream at the boundary be- tween Huron and Middlesex so that the three counties Huron, Middlesex and Larnbton should contribute their share in the cost of erecting and main- taining the said bridge. I have not examined the strew at the boundary of Middlesex but I have been informed that there are no greater difficulties there at the place mentioned.• • SPEcKAI COMMITTEE REPORT. • We have enisaired carefully into the matters of Entrance and.

Yonr comnaittee believe this is a, subject of importance to agricul- ture and is probably one that will .be,of great advantege to many people in our provioce and would advise. the prose- cution of the work. . ' •' • In reference to a memorial from Siincoe county dealing witir "proposed amendments to the act regulating Hawkers and Peddlers, we approve ot the proposed amendment and. ask the warden and clerk to sign the memorial and forward it to the Legislature. . From county of Victoria came a memorial urging -the necessity. of legs Walton towards, the Merging of lower courts, so as to facilitate business and cut down expense without doing in- justice to ' any interest'. We • very heartily concur with the proposition, and ask. OUP officials to forward the necessary memorial fo'Legislature. Regarding a, memorial from county' of Victoria relative to giving the • Public Schools Leaving Eicanaination a permanent place in the Public schools of our land. -We recommend that the memorial be signed by the warden and clerk and forwarded to the Ontario Legislittare as we think it a 'move in the right direction in the in- terests of the Public school pup Rs. • LETTER mom Tux KEEPER OP moven OP REPUPE. Since the Fall of 1895 I have been • the keeper and manager of the House of Refuge, When Was appointed to this position the salary was $250 per year and I undersitocid from creaser - ration' with several of the members of council that as the number of inmates, increased the salary would in all probability be proportionately increas- ed. 'You are aware that the duties and responsibilities are much' greater now, and the only increase made . in the salary was an addition of 826 per year about two years ago. The salary ot the inspector and physician haVe been raised $50, each, and that of the matron $75, while my salary has only •been raised $25. If you will look over the reports of the several Houses of Refuge in the proyince and compare those with the same number of in- mates that we have you will find that every, keeper receiyes a larger salary than 1 do, and that the hired. heirs is in tweet* case very much in excess of ours. As it 'natter of fact you will find in some Houses the hired help costs more than the salary of the keeper and Matron, combined, and it reference to the annual report of the inspector will show that the managemerit of our House compares most favorably with that of any other in the province. This I claim should be taken into con- sideration in fixing the salary of the keepers, and if this Is done I am quite certain you will see the justice of my application for an - increttee in nty present salary. • atErom OP THE xxernmon, TUE ROUSE OP REFUGE.
