"COUNTY COUNCIL 1 WINDS UP SESSION. :3i(:c(:pte was put to the council on whole thing right now ."' Councillor Denney said that there were two roads in Essa Township that would have to be closed this coming season because of their con- dition, but they were not asking for grants, and he could not see that it was any particular benet to the county to keep on making these grants. Councillor Evans said he did not see why villages had to have such ne streets when there were localities badly needing decent roads. A Question of Rebate This brought out the explanation from Councillor McKnight that in the case of small grants such as those under discussion there was no rebate, whereas police villages such as Elmvale, wihcre grants for pav-I [ing had been made rcbated 50 per] `cent. He was of the opinion thilll if the need of road building was .501 lmczit the townships :~:'nould look af-J tcr it.

Chairman Scott of the Roads Committee explained that there was j no objection to dealing with the re- quests individually, but that person- ally he was opposed to these little grants and that is why they had l been handled collectively.

Beecroft came as a great shock to the council, Mr. Bee- croft, who was one of the county` auditors, having been present at the Wednesday afternoon session when the treasurer s report was under dis- cussion. A resolution of sympathy` to the family of the deceased was passed by the council, with the re-- quest that the action be conveyed to the same by the clerk. Friday Afternoon Session Things livened up a bit during the Friday afternoon session of the council, when Councillor Johnson de- cided that the recommendation of the Roads and Bridges Committee to lay over to the June session the ap- peals for road construction grants from Innisl, Orillia and Tiny did not suit his purpose as representa-` tive of Orillia s interests. He promptly brought in a motion that the report be not accepted, and the appeals be taken up in a committee of the whole.
