The lowered costs of 1+9310 are part- ly due to lowered costs of operating our equipment. The cost of hauling gravel by the county owned trucks during' 1930 was 7,1 cents ,per yard per guile, allowing 3a% for depreciation. and .the cost of operating power grad- ers has been''greatly reduced. While the 1930 expenditures have been law, this should t of c rl' l , i of be used as a reason for restricting expenditures next year. On the other hand it is the inion of the Commission that, dur- ingtp f this period of low ,prices and de- pression, considerable work on the roade should be done, particularly draining and widetung of roads that cat be done b y team, and nen and 1 o t 1 , thus °ire employment to matt3 who would'otherwise have difficulty in meeting their obligations. To carry out public works in tidies of depres- sion, at a time when labor is plenti- ful and low in cast, and at a time when low prices 'cause hardship, is no doubt thePro proper principle for those in charge of public expenditures to adopt 'as far as possible. .If an extra amount' of such: construction be undertaken, application should be made for a share of the Unemployment 'Fund provided by the .Dominion and Pro- vincial ,!Govern nients. "A.outstanding item of the 1930 work was the results obtained from surface treatment work, and it is expected that considerable extension of the work will be in order.

ViRi *14 provincial Highway Engineer Haase / o each, 1930, was present Thursday 'morning and was asked to address the council. He spoke advocating the elimination of level crossingsas there was a fund established by the Federal Govern- ment to assi st r in this purpose, ose and this p ,a fund might t bec orate exhausted before Huron county participated to any extent. The Dominion fund contribut- ed 50 per cent. of the cost of.elimin- ation of level crossings and there was the Provincial grant on the money spent by the county. Thus. of an ex- penditure of 8120,000,10,000 would come front the Federal Government and the 40 per cent. grant from the Province of the amount spent by the county meant that for ran` expenditure of $6,000 by the county a $2,1,000• piece of work could -be secured. He thought the county and Municipalities should take advantage of these grants and make a survey for the purpose, and he recommended that this be done the corning season. .A good deal of time was taken in discussing the Scott Memorial 'Hos- pital grant which was passed by the council in January, but which has not yet been paid on account of the fact that this hospital has not ot been of ficiatl y declared a "public" hospital by the Provincial Boars f Health. R. S. Hays, solicitor the hospital. threatens suit for the grant but the county • council while unanimouslyin favor of therant do not want to get into any legal tangle and consult- ed the county solicitor, who read some of the correspondence he has had with the Department of Health, from which it appears that the other Seaforth hospital is the one so far re- cognized by the Department as a "public" hospital, although it has had no indigent patients and the county solicitor said he could not understand how it got a Government grant last year. The coun'ty solicitor, R. ••C. Hays. jr., suggested, as a way out of the difficulty that the directors of the Scott Memorial Hospital give the county a bond of indemnity saving then from any damage that .night accrue through any action of the oth- er hospital, and finally the following resolution was adopted: Moved by 31r. Henderson, second- ed by Mr. Turner, that, when the Scott Memorial - Hospital are willing to give the county an indemnity bond against any action which may follow, the grant made in Jaunt -try be paid and also tlt'h charges for indigent patients. Moved by lir, dole, seconded by Mr. McKenzie, that we, the county, council,•recommeud to the Provinc- ial Minister of Health that the Scott r\ten ied•torial Hospital at Seaforth be rec onrnended us a public hospital.--Car- Other motions adopted on Thugs day were as follows: Movedby • lir. Henderson seconded by Mr. H. A. Keys, that whereas the city of Guelph and other cities of the Province are making application to the Prot=incial Government for relief. from suburban road assessment, and whereas any relief, if granted, is ex- pected to come from the Highway Improvement Fund of the 'Province, and whereas the improved roads of the Province have been of inan ease value to the said cities, and whereas the subsidy payable by the Govern relent toward county road expenditure has not been increased since 1918, and whereas the traffic on the county roads. and the demands of the traf- fic have enormously increased during that period, and, whereas the revenues of the Department of Highways has increased greatly during that tine. and whereas the counties have not received an equibable share of this fund, considering the revenue derived from the traffic c onthe county- roads; the .Minister of Public Highways be petitioned to give first consideration. to the matter of increasing the Coun- ty -Road Subsidy, and that a .copy of Mr. Turner, chairman of the Chil- dren's Shelter committee made �a --- verbal report of the work done at tier shelter.
