This bridge built over the Pattawatâ€" amie river near Owen Sound caused the hottest discussion of the secsion. Authority was gixen at the June sesâ€" sion to go on with the building of it, a loose idea prevailing that it was to cost about $500, and great was the astonishâ€" ment when it was found to cost $2000, the Warden and Mr Frost being alone in a attempt to justify the expenditure. The Warden stated the engineer, who was out of town would give an explanâ€" ation in the evening, but Messrs §ich- ardson, McDonald, Allan and others demurred to waiting to the engineer‘s pleasure, and Commissioners Gordon and Frost, who had the bridge in charge, were put upon their defence. The discussion started over an account of $2 for legal advice as to powers of com‘s to build bridges. Mr. lgrost. had asked this from Solcitor McKay, and the advice had led them to go ahead. The Advertiser‘s account of tge debate 1o0ronto the contract for building as many as they can by next spring of the 15 steam and tow barges of full eanal size which will be required, and which will cost on an average $100,000 each. lir. R. A. Waite, the well known architect has been appointed to take charge of the elevators and dock work, which here and at Port Colborne, will cost at least $£6, 000, 000. The company will open offices here at onee and set to work. The Montreal correspondent of the Toronto (Globe writes his paper as follows : â€" ‘‘The greatest transportation scheme since the adventof the C_P, R. bas been launche. â€", .o crarbor Board‘s acceptance of the Connor‘s syndicate‘s proposals for the developâ€" ment of the St. Lawrence route.

If this is the way the Liberal trade Policy is | is killing the trade of Canada we can | stand lots of it ‘ Our Position Better Understood. Thanks to the persistent and well directed efforts of the Federal Governâ€" ment, and it must in fairness be added to the kindly assistance of our late Governorâ€"General, _ Lord Aberdeen, the Mother country is evidently getting much clearer and more accurate ideas as to the actual position of the Alaskan boundary dispute, _ The London Eng. (ilobe, tor example, commenting the other day upon the subject under the head of "Canadian Rights," states briefly the cireumstances under which a large section of what is now the state of Maine was lost to the Dominion through the supineness of Lord Ashâ€" burton, who, more anxious to terminâ€" ate a trouklesome buginess than to stand up for Canada, is said to have pleasantly observed. "Well we will not quarre! about two or three lines of latitude, we will put the line there." "The result was" says the Globe "that “ Canada lost a splendid piece of terriâ€" tory, which would be of inestimable value to her commercial interests were it now in her possession. It is not at all surprising therefore, that our tellowâ€"subjects sometimes display irâ€" ritation in connection with the Alaskan boundary ; they conceive that their neighbors are hoping to get the better of British diplomacy in this maiter as they did in the case ot Maine. Happiâ€" ly British statesman no longer regard "two or three degrees of latitude" as not worth making a tuss a bout." Room For Improvement Yet. In some quarters however there is still an almost incredible lack of knowledge of CTanada and of her affairs, and that too in what shoald be the best informed circles, as is strikingly shown by a report in the London, Eng. Standard less than a month ago, in which Lord Aberdeen is made to talk about the imperial imâ€" portance of the ‘‘Central Pacific Railâ€" way.". The same paper‘s knowledge ot ourâ€"climate too is apparently none too accurate, for in another issue about the same date it refers to the boys who have gone to Africa as haying been reared in the snows of Canada." The dear old Standard would have a fit it it heard that the first snow seen this season in the capital of these Arctic regions fell on December 4th, an‘‘t that within 50 miles of Toronto flowers are still blooming in the open air. _ When the Government sends its next immigration advertisement to the Standard it might be well to enâ€" close a little educational literature with it, | The assertion that was freely made by Oppositionists during the last session of Parliament that the British preterâ€" ence had practically killed trade with Germany, is not substantiated by the returns published of the last year‘s business with that country. _ In spite of the fact that Germany assumed an anfriendly astitude toward the Domâ€" inion, and imposed the maxium tariff rates upon Canadian goods, thereby moving her out of the ‘‘most /avored nation class," _ our exports to the Fatherland have very greatly inâ€" creased. In 189697 the total value of Canadian exports to Germany was $1757,531 â€" The following year it had grown to $1,045,482, while last year the figures bad grown to &1 837. 448, . Richardson then got at the matâ€" THE COUNTY COUNCIL. The Work Has Started. OVR OTTAWA LETR Mr James, an old pioneer of Proton who moyed to N. Dakota is visiting here, The ladies of the McLeach church have had a business meeting, and straitened up some very important matters. _ They are gaining in strensth Mr. Isaac Trayner, Provincial L. 8 is in this neighborhood making plans for new township drains. We have had considerable snow, but it soon disappeared, although the sleigh bells were out. Mr. Wm. Glenester has returnod home. He bas been working at his trade. brick laying, in Galt and Sarnia for the G.T. R. Miss Scarlett has gone to Toronto to stay for awhile, than was anticipated, and if)hat !;rvn- | tleman had protested half asy strongly against it then as he did now it would not have been built. There was a great traffic over this road, however, and the road beyond it had been opened out, so. that it will now be the direct route into the town for the people of a great tract of country, _ He thought the engineer‘s| bill of $105 was excessive, and would| be in favor of contesting it. $50 should ‘ be the outside amount paid to the enâ€"| gineer, The abutments were thought | to be out of place because the river| was narrow, but it was as necessary m! lhave them strong as if the bridge was| a wide one. In conclusion he emphatiâ€" ‘ cally stated that they had only gone on | with the work because the council had| told thein to go on, and men who \\'mv} competent and qualified had samid that | this was the only way to go on with | the work. * | The discussion was therenpon dropped | about a quarter to twelve, and the I't‘-‘ port passed through the hands ef comâ€" mittee and was :nfl)p( ed.

This ended the proceedings of the county council of Grey for this year. and this century. [not quite Brother Aavertiser] a substructure on which yjt must rest, He had expressed to M Richardson his fears that the job would®ost higher Mr. Frost said there had been many things to consider in connmection with this bridge. There was danger of dams breaking away, and it must be strong enough to withstand them. It was not contended that the cost was too high. The contractor for the stone work is accustomed to get $7 per cubit foot, and he did this job for $5,75. . Members of council were not justified in supposing the bridge would cost only $300. They had been informed that the superstrucâ€" ture would cost this, and there must be Mr, Allan said if they built such bridges as this on important roads all oyer the.county it would be swamped. He was perfectly astounded when he heard of it, The session would end as usual by such important business being brought up at last meeting. Mr. Richardson modified his former statement by saying that the commisâ€" sioners showed lack of judgment. _ Mr, Pringle declared that what he had exâ€" pected had happened. _ Howeyer the bridge was built and the council would have to pay for it, The discussion had taken a wide range over an item of 82 Mr, Allan said bridges as this on oyer the.county it Mr. Gordon then explained the necesâ€" sity for a good bmndge at this point. Spring freshets were hhigh. â€" Mr. Wright had grounds for an action against the county for damage caused by the narrow channel with the old bridge, had he chosen to enter one; there was a great traffic over this road, and there would be much more since the bridge was built, as it was on the direct line into town for many who had hithetto gone other ways. _ He had been as much afraid as anyone of the cost running higher than was estimated, but his exâ€" perience taught him that a good job was best. If the engineer had charged by the hour for his services his account would have been greater, _ He felt conâ€" fident that in 15 or 16 years it would be admitted that the right kind of a bridge had been built. _ The river swerved at this point, and strong abutments on a solid _ fonndation _ were _ absolutely necessary. Mr, McDonald would not make any perscnal remarks, but surely an imporâ€" tant public question like this could be discussed without what was said being construed into a personal attack. He believed he was correct in saying that every member of the council believed there had been roo great an expendiâ€" ture on this bridge. 1t had been agreat surprise to him to hear of its cost. Mr. ;\lc[)(mald then referred to the work done on the court house, which had been considered such an undertaking that it had been shrunk from for yvears. He enumerated the different things in connection therewith as compared with the construction of a bridge across a streaim which could be jumped over, and yet this bridge had cost as much as the court house work, He did not see why an engineer had been engaged at all, or when engaged why he should be paid such a commission. _ Even in ODwen Sound the bmidge was thought too costâ€" ly for so unimportant a road. If Mr. Gordon thought he was making himself solid with his constituents through this bridge he was mistaken. (Here Mr. (Gordon said he asked no consideration from Mr, MceDonald.) The Warden took exception to Mr. Richardson‘s remarks implying that there had bean dishouesty on the part of Mr. Frost and himself. ne had stated at the June session that a steel superstructure would cost about $500. Twoâ€"thirds of the cost of the bridge was for the abutments, because of the depth necessary to go to get a solid foundation. Mr. Richardson‘s attack on him was personal. Why it was so he did not know. ter fairly by saying that thr council had received a rude awakening as to their wisdom in reposing «confidence in this matter in their fellowâ€"commissioners of Owen Sound division. Council had been informed at the June session that the bridge would probably cos. $500 or $600. and now they find it costs over $2000, over a small creek like the Potâ€" tawatamie, with a span of only 40 feet. Restriction must be placed on commisâ€" sioners. The council as a whole were to blame. There should be an explanâ€" ation, however, so that members could explain why such expenditure had been made. + & Hopeville.
