County Road Commission The County Road Commossion re­ ported: \ The caused become later froze. The long, cold spring de­ layed the melting of this ice and roads in a soft condition, which re­ sulted in a great deal of damage, and many sections of road^were passable for traffic for a time. A considerable mileage of system has been examined and present the roads are in good ditioii for dry weather traffic, spection shows that much work is needed in replacing bridges and cul­ verts, in draining and4 grading and other work of a permanent charac­ ter, but it is felt that the most ser­ vice to the traffic can. be given with the limited funds in prospect by devoting more to the supply ot dust .palliatives and providing all weather tops on our main roads by constructing low cost bituminous services.-^—Carried. Your commission has examined the requested additions to the coun­ ty road system, and we recommend that the road from Saltford via Ben- miller to Londesboro; the road "be­ tween Concessions 8 and 9, Ashfield Township; and the road Concessions 8 and 9, from county road No; 32, easterly to Berth County, be assumed.—Car. The road is in the village of Man­ chester from Taylor's store to the Base Line is close to other county roads, and we recommend that no action be takexi on this road, Your commission ders and exchanged two new Ford dump engineer’s ear for a A meeting was held in during equipment were examined. Sessions of th© Ontario Good roads Associa­ tion were attended, and many in­ structive addresses were heard.On March 17, Mr. Snell, one off $3,000; our workmen, suffered a severe ac-| phone, $2,300; county property, $1,- eident from which he is recovering 800; printing and postage, $1,000; Some time'later we were advised by ‘ ' **" ----- the auditor of the Department of Highways, that no subsidy would be paid on compensation for this acci­ dent, or others, as had been the case in former’ years. We were advised that coverage must be taken with the Wokrmen’s Compensation Board and if application for such coverage was refused, that subsidy would be paid on a premium paid to an in­ surance company carrying the risk, the Workmen’s Compensation Board will take the risk only if all em­ ployees of the county are included. Considering this as a rejection of the application, it -would appear ad­ visable to procure a policy from an insurance company to cover the risk to secure the government grant on future payments. Several accident claims have been referred to the company carrying our liability, insurance, and settlement was made by them. A .house, own­ ed by Mr. Shepherd, of Line, Hullett, was lost and the company could bility on the part of the .Shepherd appealed to your commit­ tee for further consideration, but in view of the fact that the insurance company, that is responsible for such payments, refused to admit liability we did not feel warranted in making any payment.
