The, letter in- formed the Council` that the approp- riation of $257,500 made at the Jam uary session for ,County roads and bridges had been exhausted. Pay- rollsrcall for payment of $12,343.09. To meet these it was necessary for , the Council to authorize it. y A favorable report from the same 1 sou1_'ce was that the Public Highways I Department had agreed that the roads from Hockley` through Adjala, ', Tecumseth and West Gwillimbury to Bradford and from the southwest corner of Dufferin and Simcoe through Singhampton to the town of ' Collingwood, be made provincial county roads. Consequently, the County shall receive a refund of 60' per cent. of its expenditure on these roads since Jan. 1 last, instead of 40 per cent. under the first classication. The increase in the refund is expect-. ed to meet additional expenditure on- county and provincial roads for this: year.
