I-IOMA well : In taking the chair the Warden ex , pressed his pleasure at meeting the members again, and stated that al- though there was not as much business to transact as at the June and January sessions, yet the affairs of the county were assuming a magnitude and import- ance which demanded that three ses- ` eions be held in` each year of the Coun- oil. A matter of particular importance. 4 to which he wished to call the attention of the members, was the necessity of l dealing with the question of the County assuming the supervision of the roads. All present knew to what stagethe County Road System had progressed- np to the last time the Township Coun- cils had been` asked if they were in favor of the system" and approved of C the roads _within their municipality, which had been designated in the pro- posed by-law. Eight of the Township Councils had" answered in the negative, and as it was only necessary for one- third of them to object in order to stop proceedings in the direction indicated, the by-law would now have to be sub- mitted to the ratepayers themselves, and the nextstep therefore would be to make the necessary arrangemementa for taking a vote on the measure. .In referring to the County nances, the Warden thought it was a matter Of congratulation that the Countyawas in an even better position than it. was a. year ago, although it was strong then. is a matter of fact the County was about 811,000 better off than it was out a year ago, and if care was eiercisi or! there would "be a surplus at the end. of the present year of good` 7 hard cash-not fictitious asset, and the new Council would be in a position to take up the County Roads System with "success, it the ratepayers would give them the authority to do so.
