It was decided to take this question up at the January sesion of County Councii when the members would be in a better position to discuss it. There was a dearth of information in respect to the matter on Friday none of the members knowing exactly how or to whom the proposed license ap--` plied in counties where it was effective. It was explained that 18 Ontario counties already had taken advantage of this provincial legislation and were charging a two-dollar fee for such 11- censes. The object was not to get re- venue but to protect game. Council- lor Nolen thought it a good idea as did Councillor Rogers of Barnle. v It was explained that gun licenses would apply to all guns carried by peo- ple not hunting on their own property. There seemed to be some difference of opinion as to whether the license would apply to people within the coun- ty or only to those coming to hunt in- side the county. * -. . .. . __ _ Question of instituting gun licnesesl in Simcoe County was `raised in the County Council by a report of the leg- ' islation committee, Friday afternoon. stating that the matter should be con- sidered by the whole council.

He said the road commission had a hard time of it. It had to please everyone it it could and that was a big order. The -trouble was that after the money for the year had been spent the reeves of various municipal- ities were urged to fix certain roads in their -townships and the bills had to be met by the county treasurer. If the reeves would put their foot down on this kind of thing he thought the commission wouldn't over-ruin its es- timates very much. D\4VUjI`nAu.l I C1. 1 uua. This statement brought Councillor Dutton of the roads commission to his feet. He defended the policy of the council in respect to highways and suggested that some of the 'scoop-shoveis" had been dumpedsinto Mr. Lovering's township. At the re- quest of the reeve of Matchedash Councillor Dutton enumerated the ex- penditures for roads made in the var- ious municipalities during the year. uvv _ . . _ _ . __A. _ 1-; _,, .,- A-- ..-._ ___g v--- ,, V..- . "You spent a lot on road No. 2," said Councillor Lovering, and it is the worst road in the county. Alliston s Reeve Praises Roads This assertion was greeted with laughter and shouts of_ No! No! Councilior"Lov:ring said it was worse than in 1915. Councillor Cunningham of Alliston took issue with him on this point and came to the defence of the roads commission. He thought the road Councillor Lovering was talking about was much better than it used to be. He felt there had been a great improvement in county road condi- tions generally and that the commis- sion should get credit for it. Mr. Coleman was particularly up- set at the idea of having to meet pay- ments for work done on roads after the money provided in the bylaw for [this pun-pose had heen exhausted. At the present time -the commissionis at the limit of its resources in sthis re- spect and before the year ended it might be several thousand over. In 1928 the commission `finished up with an overdraft of $25,000 and(Mr. Cole- man had no direct authority to meet it. He didn't think this was good busi- ness and he urged the committee to stay within its estimates. It was the only businesslike method. Says Roads Worse Than Ever Councillor Charles Lovering of Matchedash threw a few bombshells into the ranks of the roads commis- sion when he said roads today were worse than they used to `be and that money `was being thrown away in scoop-shovel fulls. nu-.. .~+..........-.... .v..........1..L n...._-n{... simcoe County Council closed its final session" for 1929 Friday night with a full dress debate on road ex- penditures. D. H. Coleman, County Treasurer, started the discussion as the members were about to adjourn after a brief -night session, by pro- testing against having to pay expendi- tures on road account after the appro- priation provlded for this purpose at the first of the year was exhausted. That there would -be an increase in the county rate, next year seemed in- evitable in the opinion of the treasur- er. He counselled the councillors to go slow in the matter of provincial highways. The province was building so many roads that the situation would soon reach a point where it would be impossible for simcoe to p meet its apportionment of the cost and its other highway obligations out of curren-t revenue.

Judge Wismer: In the death of Judge Ross Barrie loses one of its most excellent and useful citizens. He was keenly interested in all organizations and public undertakings that were for the general welfare of the people and was a generous supporter of our hos- pital, chi1dren s shelter. and all other charitable works -that required aid. He was a constant student and was, well informed on all subjects. He was a sound lawyer and painstaking judge. I found him a most agreeable and con- genial colleague. He will be much missed by the whole community."

Boys, K.C., M.P.: The bench and bar of this county have sustained a great loss in the death of Judge In addition Barrie and the County of Simcoe lose the services of an able, industrious and good citizen whose place in the community will be hard to ll. During his short term in office he proved himself to be a good judge and sound lawyer. He tried'a number of important cases and so far as I know judgments rendered were accept- ed by the litigants or were upheld by the court of appeal. Some years ago Judge Ross took an active interest in municipal aairs and his candidature for the` various offices he sought was always well received by the electors. He was a very successful solicitor who, prior to his elevation to the bench, enjoyed a large and lucr tive prac- tice. As a life-long friend nd fellow citizen, I will greaty miss him." - . --. .q , :- PENSIONS man; to an $5 A mu, Mileage andallowance paid to var- ious representatives by Simcoe County Council at its November session for nuperlntendlng road work in their own municipalities was distributed as fol- Mayor D.
