They thought that the old covering was worth at least $30 and that the county was entitled to 50 per cent of that amount. The report was adopted as read. A motion was introduced to grant ten dollars to the chairman of each comâ€" mittee. _ This caused some discussion in which Mr John W Frost and Mr Willisâ€" croft took important parts, The motion finally carried by a vote of 15 to 1. Mr |\Villi.-o(-mft. being the dissenting memâ€" Ner, Mr McKinnon present«d report No. 3 of the road and bridge committee, which contained the following accounts: Township of Normanby, $87.85 ; Chas Gordon $6 ; Charles McKinnon, 85 cts ; and A C Paterson $3.

Mesâ€" srs Allan and Totten moved that Mr Preston take the chair. When this had been completed Mr Gordon moved a motion, seconded by Mr Frost ~That the thanks ot this council are hereby endered to the warden tor his efficient services during the year, and that $100 be voted to him for the same." The motion was carried by a standing vote of the council, Warden McDonald, in reply, said that he was bheartily thankâ€" ful for the resolution of the council, He was thankful for the treatment h had received at the hands of its memâ€" bers during the year. â€" HMe was atraid at first that he would have difficulty in the matter of procedure, but had found his work easy, owing to the hearty support of the members. He wished particularly to refer to the kindness of the clerk, who had assisted him very much,. The county was fortunate in having a gentleman of Mr Rutherford‘s ability for such an office. He was a most obliging officrul and he (the warâ€" den) could not conceive of a more efficâ€" ient officer, He also expressed tegret that Mr Richardson was leaving the council. On motion of Messrs Allan and Willâ€" iscroft, Messrs McKinnon and Watson were paid $2 each for expenses in conâ€" nection with their servicea on the specâ€" 1al committee to investigate the aeciâ€" dent on the bridge at Markdale.
