REPORT OF ENGINEER
In my January report it was point-
ed put that the cost of construction
and maintaining hard surface roads
of the type built by nap county dur-
ing the past few years would be little,
le any, greater than the cost of pro-
perly maintainingegravel roads. Con-
sidetiug that the service rendered to
the travelling public is of inestimably
greater value, it would be reasonable
to decade that all 'of our main county
roads at least, should be so surfaced
as soon as practicable.
In tarrying out such work the fol-
lowing principles should goverrn:
1 Narrow and !dangerous sections'
of all roads should be made reasonab-
ly safe. 2. Reconstruction of special
eeetions en, any road be given comet;
oration; 3. Reeonstruotioe of (large
bridges and projects involving heavy
expenditure be postponed as long as
reasonably (possible; 4. Grading, small
bridges, culverts and drainage be un-
dertaken at the 'same time, one or two
years in adeanco. of the eurfac,e; 5.
Surfaces be laid after the base eourse
has consolidated. 6. All roads be
given adequate maintenance.
Keeping in mind the above princi-
ples in embarking on an extensive
road imProvement scheme, it is logi-
cal that a program should be follow-
ed. Poor service to the public would
be given, and the results would be
generally unsatisfactory if, each year,
work would be -carried out on a5ssort-
ed roads throughout the county and
lacked 'continuity. It !Should be the ob-
jective to 'surface the roads in the
order of their imrpoitince, that is, to
start with the most heavily, travelled!
and carry on until all are improved.
Moreover, the program would show
that all Toads would be improved in
turn and that none would be over-
looked.

a list of tee county roads, and I re-
commend that they be improved and

ter care at the present time, 5 of
them going to school. We have two
girls aged 8 years, and onto aged 5.
There are four boys, aged 1, 8, 10 and

Throughout the greater part of the
winter and early spring, we had a
great deal of siclmese, at the Shelter.
The children took flu,' then whooping
cough, and one child had a mastoid
operation. They were given every
care and attention, which necessitat-
ed a great deal of extra work on the
part of our Matron.
There are 65 children •ia care of
the Society, 58 of, them being in faster
homes throughout the county, All
these children are visited twice a
year,

COUNTY ROAD COMMISSION
Since the January meeting consid-
erably more snow plowing on the
county roads has been necessary than,
is normally required, and our snow
removal costs have been about one-
third higher.
A resolution passed by the Council
of Howick was received in the spring
requesting that secondary county
roaxie be not plowed. We recommend
in this connection that, if any town-
ship council wishes to have any coun-
ty roads within that township remain
unplowed, the county be notified ac-
cordingly, in which case their wishes
will be carried out.
