Wilson mslced if he would g11`a.rantee the bxidge would not col-V lapse, and Mr. Reid said yes. / Treasurer Qui-nlan, upon request of the Warden, asked if Mr. R;eid s rm would be willing to submit his l\\'U `2U'VlUUL CUIIUYBLU urcues. Mr. Connor said the west pier had settled. He thought the faulty pier could be reinlforced by driving piles on three sides. He said there ap- peared no settlement in the centre and eastern mbutrments, the trou:"ble being conned to the west end pier. He proposed to take out the faulty arch and said the weight on the centre could be reduced by 200 tons.` He would also shorten the span by two feet, giving an extra, bearing, and it` required could put in a. con- crete deck and form a. uniiforin road over the bride. The bridge is fit- teen years old. He said there were some craclcvs in the western 40-ifoot arch, but they will stand. He would take _off the coping and pipe railing, too, and surbsti-tute concrete extend- ing over the wing wall. WOULD COST $23,000 Mr. Reid spoke of the bridge s settlement -in 1920-21. He said his rm would guarantee the 80-foot amch would stand if they were given the Work. The job would cost $23,000. A retaining wall and wings would be extra, if needed, and his rm was ordered to do it; but that could be_ done by onhers, it was un- derstood. .I".-uunn TIT:-an n.nlv.n.-I : 1.,` ...A..1,l A deputation of A. W. Connor, consulting engineer, and Mr. Reid of Reid & Suinm-er.s, engineers and contractors, Toronto, appeared be- fore the Council on Tuesday to ex- plain to the Council the condition of th-e Edenvale bridge, its requ:i're- ments and the cost to reinforce it to a. state of permanency. Mr. Con- nor, who had designed the bridge originally, had been called in, he `said, to give his opinion on the bridge s needs. This bridge is zubout 240 feet in length and its present defect is in the west pier and aAbut~ ment. It has two 80-foot spans and two 40-vfoot concrete arches. :N1'v' (`nnnnr unit? fkn uonnf -rnu hurl \ `Col. A. Cowan, Ciominandving Oicer, Simcoe Forestens regiment, asked the Council in a. letter for a . grant of $200. ed that years ago the Council con- tributed $200 annually when prizes were awarded and before 0119 rie ranges north of Barrie were discon- tinued. R-ie 111-a.t-ches were held up to the ounbreak of the war. This year the regiment incurred $250 ex-A penses at Camp Borrden, and made no application, feeling at the time they would not require it, overlook- ing the plan to hold rie matches at Collingwood ranges. The rst en- r:a,mpn1enrt since 1914 was held in 1921 when the County contributed $200. The Colonel expla'in- ` whose car was said to have slid in- to a rut on the highway, from w.hich damrage on an attached bill showed charges on? $84.60. Another was dated Midland, Nov. 21, and referred ' to a claim by J.os. Argue for a house claimed to have been injured ' on the highway between Penetang and Mid-land on Nov. 11. A brittle ` surface from heavy tarvia. was com- plained Ovf. Still another complaint dealt witl1 a suit of clothes. This complaint was dated Orillii-a, June 27, and stated that on June 10, on the Atherley road, M. Hughes suffer- ed a spoiled suit of clothes because of oil and tar being left in puddles. It was complained that it was im- ': possible to walk through the road without getting splashed. It was a new suit, the owner reports, and he had it on hand for inspection at the time 0-1` w-r.i'tin.g--cbut w-as un=aJble to wear it,'an'd it was beyond cleaning. The Council was asked what could be done re coinpensatiion. I must say it is a real shame, the owner wrote. /-&-$-$-$-%$-$-$-$-$- COUNCIL CHOOSES NEW COUNTY CLERK SIIMCOE EORESTERS ASK $ 2 0 0 FOR E-IDENVALE BRIDGE AID Ever-Ready Safety Razor See our Window Hubbard s Hardware A Real Bargain (Continued from page one) Regular $3.00 89c.

Mr. Dumond said he had W0!I`ked 21 years in Sim- ` (Lee County in most of the townships, -but he wasn t an engineer. He pro- posed one or two steel structures or! 80-foot spans to level of birdge, and -- suggested $15,000 as the cost Otf the work complete on the Edenrval-e bridge. He could practically com- plete it in the winter Uiime, too, he said. He would remove one or Uwo arches, and said if the albutment has the resistance to `hold, there would be only one-fourth of the weight to `bear under his scheme; also the time saved relative to deviwion of tratc would be saved. In answer to Counc. Rusk he explained `a. scheme of supporting the other two an-ches. The whole matter will be reviewed by the special committee assigned to it.

Potatoes are meeting with slow sales in most parts of the country, and particularly in the West. There are so nma'ny difficulties in placing potatoes on a distant market that `the trade must t.o a great extent be lovcmlized. I<`1`eig`ht charges are a baruier even when the demand :is keen, and with the .lo\v ,prices now prevailing few will venture to slripl outside their own province. It is in a season such as this that producens and consumers will learn to (liscnim- inate between good and poor var- ieties. Dealers are indiIt`erent about `buying anything except. high grade tubers. In Saskatchewan the manket commissioner reports that there is a theme market availwble iat` guowers will only study ills requ.irements. Inl order to make sales it is necessary first to ;.:row the potatoes true to variety and then to grade them in accordance with the Dominion I`ru:lt and Vegetable Act. 'I`her`e are many who are unzrble to find a buyer for the reason that they cannot meet these requirements. They can prot by discharging their present m.i.\"ture of varieties and planting one of the standard sorts that are known on the market. When better prices re- turn, zvs they`l-ikely will in a year or two, they will be in a position to reap the benefit. - ONLY HIGH GRADE I O'.[`;\"l.`0l'}S ARE IN DEMAND, ]*}.\'I ER'l.`S SAY Russell Semmens otf Allandale, 19, was convicted in the Bzu'r'ie Police Court, Wednesday, of stealing and selling a Studebznker nmtor can` be- longing to Harold J. .-\rmst1'0ng, Ba,r1~i,e, on Nov. 11. .\Iagistx'ate Jeffs sentenced Semmens to serve one year, the m-inimum penalty for ihe offence. \ Russo}! r-.n.mn nndm` mmnininn when Wolves are gathering unusually early in packs up the I'etzmvzLwa river.
