"An amendment to the Highway Improvement Act of 1920 makes it possible for a village or town, by by- | law, to undertake to provide for the construction or improvement of any street or streets which are connecting links with the county road system, and may enter into an agreement with the Council of the County with respect thereto the work to be car- ried out under the inspection of the County Road Superintendent. And 'when the by-law of the Village or Town and agreements have been ap- proved by the Minister of Highways, expenditure thereunder or such por- tions thereof as the Minister may determine shall be deemed to form part of the expenditure in carrying out 'the plan of highway improve- ment in the county, for the purpose § | of ascertaining the amount of aid @ | which may be granted to the county B | under this Act, The amount payable under this section to be repayable to the town or village by the County in accordance with the said agr t in that regard. In accordance with this Act Mr. Figary moved a resolution that the County Council enter into an agree- ment with the Village of Port Perry to pay the fixed annual sum of $800 for a period of ten years toward the improvement of such highways as are connecting links in the county road system. This resolution was se- conded by Dr. Farewell. While at first the resolution did not appear to be well received by many of the members of the County Council, after Mr. Figary had given his reasons why the County Council should assist the Village of Port Perry in this the only way aid could be received from the Government, the resolution was favorably received. __ Figures were produced showing the amounts paid by each rural muni- cipality for good roads for the five | years ending 1922, the total levy in these municipalities being $150,185.41 and the total amount of expenditure $431,412.49. The expenditure being over 280 per cent. more than paid in. While in urban municipalities the total levy for five years was $52,730.- 68, and the expenditures in these municipalities was $20,203.39, which means that the urban municipalities {in five years contributed $32,437.19 more than they received in any grants from year to year. The resolution was referred to the Advisory Committee to report on. The Advisory Committee reported as follows: "Your Committee have considered the resolution presented by Mr. Figary, Reeve of Port Perry, and referred to it for a report. We recommend that this County enter into an agreement with the Village 'of Port Perry in aceordance with the | provisions of sub-see. 7 and 8 of sec. 5 of the Highway Improvement Act, providing for am annual payment from this County. of $800.00 in ad- dition to any amounts granted as a | subsidy by the Province under the provisions of said Act," - 8trenyous opposition to granting Port Perry an annual sym of $800 from the County for paving links of He county road system was offered | by Deputy-Reeve J.

The chief of these was that the produce part of the Fair be held at the Town Hall. The display will be made upstairs and the market part of the Fair will be held down stairs. This will allow the people to see the poultry and butter display with comfort, and will do away with undue crowding. Another improvement is that all entries must be made by 11 a.m. on the day of the Fair, including those for horses, Entries "to be made with Mr. E. H. Purdy.

Miss Margaret Murray was formeply a resident of Port Perry, and is well known to many of our citizens: "Congratulations are being extend- ed to Miss Margaret Murray, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. McE. Murray, upon winning one of the Carter Scholarships awarded for high standing in the upper school examinations in the county of Sim- coe. Recently, g shortly after entering Victoria University, Miss Murray was awarded a Moses Aiken scholar- ship for general proficiency, her re- cord being eleven first class honors and three second class honors. This carried with it $100 and free tuition during her course. The present scholarship is worth $60 and is the second of three set apart for the county of Simeoe. The first was taken By Miss Jean Cowan and the third by Miss Helen, Ross, both of Barrie, Miss Murray's standing is an env- iable one and while much credit is due herself her high standing brings great honor to the collegiate insti- tute and the public school in which she received her training. Double scholarship students are the excep- tion and to obtain a position of schol- astic eminence in competition with the province and the county as Miss Murray has done is indeed a proud record, Principal Willoughby of the collegiate, when seen by the Bulletin, expressed very great pleasure at the with her friends in extending con- gratulations," (re MOTORISTS TO PAY FOR UP- KEEP OF ROADS The State of California is intro- ducing a new Taw in connection with the taxing 'of automobile traffic, which is expected to bring in a re- venue of $18,000,000 a year, On every gallon of gasoline sold | the customer 'pays a tax of 2¢ of 'one cent to the county to be used for the upkeep of road.

The Port Perry High School Girls' Basketball' team visited Whitby last Wednesday afternoon and were de- feated 6-5, in a very close game by the local girls. The Port Perry girls won 10-9 in Port Pe the two teams. The winning basket was scored by. the Whitby team just five seconds before time was called, after they had been behind the great- er part of the game. While - the game was full of fumbles, the close- ness of the score and the fine rally made by the locals at the last caused it to be exciting and interesting to watch, The line-ups:--Port Perry -- for- wards, Margaret Armstrong and Meta Miller, centres, Eunice Maléolm and Louise Carnegie; guards, Myrtle Wallace and Isabel Lucas.

In the football game between the boys of the two schools at the Town Park on the same afternoon the Whitby team emerged. victorious and incidently won their first game in three years." The Port Perry team had not played before this year and while the game was not sparking with brilliant football, it was hard fought and both teams worked hard. While the Port Perry team was com- posed of bigger boys they had not the experience and finish exhibited by the locals, and the Whitby goal was sel- dom in danger. Although the play was strenuous the game was fairly clean, and on their showing the Port Perry team with a little practice could give any team a real good argument. The first goal was scored by Sid Parrott for Whitby toward the end of the first half, when he took a neat pass and scored. The second counter came in the second half from a penal- ty kick awarded against Perey.
