The only other case heard was that of Shepherd and Hart vs. Cecil` Tuck, M for $55.62-, the amount of a garage bill, judgment being reserved in this case too. The defendant claimed that he was a minor and not Ii'abTe for the account. 4 ' ucuzuuullbo The defendant had a number of horses which he had brought from the West and, beingunable to care for them.at his own premises during the winter months, he made arrange- ments with the plaintiff to keep them. a Mr. Parsons claimed that he was to be paid `$10 per month for each horse and he was to take ve of them. Mr. Leslie, on the other hand, stated that $10 per month was to pay for the five horses. He said in evidence that sev- eral farmers who had `straw stacks would have taken the horses without charge, but they had no stable room. He claimed also that the horses were halter-broken before they were taken to Parsons and that the plaintiff of- fered to break themduring the win- ter. This, however, was not done and the horses were allowed to run T with long ropes dangling from them, :1 with the result that when they were ` returned to him they were wilder p than in the f-all. - 1 Both parties called a number of e witnesses in support of their claims and hearing of the case occupied. the greater part of the day.

Smith that the Government grant on permanent road work on connecting links with the Provincial Highway is to be increas- ed to fty per cent. of the cost" `if the central twenty feet. While t is in- formation has not yet been conrm- ed by the Department, little. doubt is felt locally that itwill materialize, It will mean -a reduction of $5000 in the cost to the Town of this year s road work. A further gratifying fea- ture is' that the increased grant will be retroactive and will apply to the work done last year. Speaking to The Examiner on, Wednesday, Ald. Wallwin stated that the Barrie de-' putation which took the matter up with the Department of` Highways some time ago were assured that any 8 assistance given would be retroactive. Although the Department has.not-yet g been approached in the matter, local ` officials are condent that the new 8' grant will also apply to the cost of st surfacing Bradford St. _ [Would Mean $5000 More on Work "Contracted For . 0 - This 'Year.
