House of Refuge
The House of Refuge committee
reported as follows: This has been
an exceptionally busy year in cunnec-
tion with matters
relating to the
County Home. Your committee met
in all seven times during the year,
four times in regular meetings and
three tines in special meetings, re
:he contracts for rodding, wiring and
'ainting. The four regular meetings
e.ere held at the times fixed, and the
quarterly_ accounts were audited and
orders issued as follows: March,
0rM -
..Oa7.54; Juue $2675.04; 'September,
02975.46; Deceinber, $2658.34; total,
510,346.38
Since our -June meeting three very
much needed itnprovements . or re-
pairs were decided con. It was found
that the wiring for electric purposes
had gotten very much out of date,
and, on inspection by experts, it was
found to be positively dangerous and
that a disastrous fire • might occur at
any time through the imperfect and
exposed wiring. It was also decided
to have the building all rodded as a
means' of protection from lightning
and also to have the outside wood-
work of the :house and outbuildings
repainted, Owing to the ravages of
the weather it was found that the
windows were in very bad shape and
Hearted reputtyin, attd all the expos-
ed woodwork was in need of two
heavycoats
of paint. Accordingly
l
v
I •e
e,iu.-
tenders were asked Inc>y advertis-
ing and the several contracts were
let as follows, all the work being ex-
ceptionally well done, the several
contractors apparently taking paaios•
to give good satisfaction, The paint-
ing was let to D. A. McKay, of Clin-
ton,
lip
Lon, who was the lowest tenderer, but
the committee' decided to employ ltlm
by the hour, the county to furnisn the
paint and ether matex'iial used except
equipment. 'The other two contracts
were also let to the lowest tenderer
in each case, to F. \V, 'Burchell, Brus-
••els, for the rodding; and to_Meesrc,
•I'lntell and Murcar, of Palmerston,,
fnr the wiring, and the total cost it+
each case is as follows, both con-
tracts being subject to Government
inspection which guaranteed good
work; D. A. Kay, painting work on,y,
`5s53.Ci0; paint and material, Sutter
and Perdue, $223.90; F. W. Burchell,
rodding, $59320; Thiell and Murcat,
wiring, $+1078.
The Hydro Inspector at Stratford
inspected the building and preps -ed
the plans, specifications and blue
tion promoting the erection of a Pro-
vincial Highway from Clinton to Fen-
nels, via Harriston, we recommend..
that the proposals of this association
be endorsed by this council, and yee
also recommend that a copy of this
letter with his endorsatton attached
be forwarded to the Minister of Pub-
lic Highways. We further recom-
mend that, should a deputation from
the Blue -Water Highway Association,
or from the Clinton-Harriston High
way Association attend at Toronto,
delegates from this council be sent.
Road and Bridge Committee.
The road and bridge committee
pmt at Clinton November 1st with
all the members and the Warden Ke -
sent, and proceeded on a tour of in-
spection of a number of bridges
under the jurisdiction of the commit-.
tee. The Summerhill bridge on the
base line boundary of Hullett and Go-
derich townships was first examined.
The approaches of this bridge are
narrow and a source of danger to cars
meeting there. The south approach
is short and entirely on the county
portion, and it was decided to widen
it, and to erect a new guard fence.
The north approach is about 200 feet
in length, and, while the committee
are of
l:e
opinionthat it should
the `
in a similar 'manner,it was
improved
of the
decided to determine the plans
townships interested, and have the
whole finished in a similar manner.
It was the opinion of the committee
that the large cracks between the
abutments and wings should be filled
with concrete, Ball's bridge was ex-
amined and found to be in good con-
dition. The Hohnesville bridge was
found to be in need of paint and of
additional stone filling around the
piers. The floor of the bridge also
required cleaning. After having
lunch at+Clinton an inspection of the
bridge at the end of the 2nd conces-
sion, Stanley, over the Bayfield river,
known ac Cory's bridge was made.
This bridge was in need of paint and
also some repairs needed to the guard!
fence. 'Glen's bridge required paint
and also the Varna bridge required
filling. Proceeding' by way of Grand
Bend and Bosanquet township, an in-
spection of the bridge over the Aux
Sauble river at the southwest corner
of the county was made. This bridge
is little used largely because the roads
leading to it from both sides are al-
most impassible. Some paint and
otherna required repairs were re tttrtd a t this
bridge, but it was felt that they were
not warranted as long as the town-
ships interested failed to keep the
road passible. It was decided to re-
commend to the county council that
a bylaw r be passed l accordance ord in c nce with
a
ser,. 16 of sub. sec. 2 of 550. 5, chap.

inall bridges 20 feet in span or less
to the local municipalities in order

sidy

may be received on the balance.
The committee attended the presen-
tation to Warden Klopp in the even-
ing, after adjournment at 6 p.m.
County Property.
The county property committee re-
ported as follows: We visited the
jail and found everything in good or-
der, with three prisoners therein, We
visited the Shelter and found five chil-
dren being taken care of at present.
We recommend that two double mat-
tresses and one single mattress be
purchased for the shelter. We visited
the registry office and found every-
thing in order. We recommend that
two stools be purchased for the regis-
try office. We inspected the court
house attic found everything splendid.
The floor in the county engineer's of-
fice will have to be repaired soon. We
recommend that steel filing cabinets
and a typewriter be placed in the
clerk dispose of the old one, In .com-
mittee Che report was changed to read
that the matter of
the filing cabinets
was left over to next council.
The special committee recomnientl-
ed that the bylaw of the Township of
Howick closing a certain road, be 5tp-
provotvied by the comtcil; regaiding re-
solution passed 'by the United Coun-
ties of Prescott and Russell, -request-
ing the Department of Highways to
pay the total expenditure on Provin-
cial Highways, that this be done as
soon as possible and practical by the
Govern ment,.

HURON COUNTY COUNCIL.
(Continued from last week.)
To Ask That Blue Water Highway
-Be Made a Provincial Road.
Moved by Mr. Cameron, seconded
by lir. Hill, that the council memor-
ialize the Provincial Department of
Highways, pointing out that the Blue
Water Highway is a heavily travel
ted tord, requiring a large ex ends
titre for maintenance, that the traf
fit is largely of a through nature by
tourists passing north or south, and
the road is used only to a minor ex
tent by residents of the county and
that, in the opinion of this council
the circumstances call for the taking
Over of this road by the Departnten
of Highways as a Provincial road.—
Sent to Good Roads Commission.
Good Roads Commission.
The Good Roads Commission re
ported as follows: ._During the yea
the proposed program of work ha.
been followed, but a few items o
work have not :been completed. The
expenditure to date is 7195,322,82
and it is expected that by the end o
the year about $220,000 will have
been spent. This is about $12,000
less than was estimated in June. Re
paving in the Village of Fordwich
which was asked for in June, your
Connnission has looked over this pro-
posal, and find that this village is in
a similar position to others in the
county, and that all should be paved
at, or about, the same time, whett-
ever the county sees fit to do so.
When such is decided upon, deben-
tures would leave to be issued to
cover the cost. Re Hensall and
Wingh r
Wingham ag cements, We recommend
that these municipalities be given
credit for the 75 per cent. and 50 per
cent. rebates, as are allowed to other
urban municipalities,
Credit to be
given on the agreement refunds. We
further recommend that Hensall be
relieved from payment of this year's
refund, in a similar manner as Wing -
ham was relieved in 1925. Re reso-
lution passed by the County of Nor-
folk that the Ontario . frovernment
assume 100 per cent. of the cost of
the Provincial Highways, we recom-
mend that this council endorse ,this
resolution, and that the Ontario 'Gov-
ernment be petitioned accordingly as
it is felt that the cities are not bear-
ing as much` of the cost of the Pro-
vincial Highways as :the benefit from
the Highways accruing to them would
warrant. Re the Wells drainage by-
law from the township of Morris
assessing $100 against the County
Road System, the Court of Revision
en this scheme was to be -held on
Sept. 26, 1927, and the county will
have no alternative but to pay the
assessment. Re assessment notices
