KENNEDY AUCTIONEER OoPTICIAN DENTAL a specialty DIRECTORY Grimsby New Year‘s day was very quiet in Winona as the rain and sleet which started with the new year, kept most people indoors. One busy place was the telephone exchange where the opâ€" erators were kept busy all night putâ€" ting through calls for motorists who were stranded or in the ditch on acâ€" count of the ice. Some trouble was reported from outlying telephone lines but repair men were able to maintain a service in most cases.

Eclipsing all former records of evidâ€" ence of spring and summerâ€"like conâ€" ditions prevailing in late November in this favored part of Canada, such as roses and peach trees in bloom, and strawberries being gathered, it reâ€" mained for a Plymouth Rock hen owned by O. M. Nash, a prominent and. successful fruit grower here, to shatter all such records by stepping out of a nest, which she had hidden away in one of the orchards on Christâ€" mas day, with six newly hatched chicks, proving beyond a doubt that this is indeed the Garden of Canada. While skating with a number of companions on the pond at the old power house in the village, Harry Sackrider and: Joe Stoddard broke through the ice and narrowly escaped drowning, being helped out of the waâ€" ter by some of the lads present. % In the impromptu _ speech Lloyd Green won over .C.

Miss Geraldine Martin spent.a few days last week with relatives in Toâ€" ronto. was very weak all day. There was very little trouble on the new Hydro line, but the old D. P. & T. lines were too old and worn to stand the strain, and as fast as one break was fixed the power was off somewhere else. The old line has plainly served its day and a complete new line is needâ€" ed to give adequate service. There was very little ice on the highway, but seldom did pedestrians need a sideâ€" walk so badly as cars and busses sent a shower of slush across the ditches in some places. The sergeants and veterans of "C" company, 1st battalion, Wentworth regiment, held a very successful New Year‘s eve dance in the hall, which was largely attended, and all had a most enjoyable time. 7 I A watch night service was held in Fruitland church on New Year‘s eve, where quite a number gathered to see the old year out. Rev. J. W. Hunt, addressed the New Year‘s rally at Ryerson church on New Year‘s morning, when nearly a thousand were present. ° THIRTY MOUNTAIN | STONEY CREEK THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIG was decided to purchase a snow re-' moval unit consisting of truck, snowâ€"| plow and grader attachment, with a| three fold object in view, viz., general hauling, reduction in costs of dragâ€" ging and snow removal. In 1929 â€" 1930 it was ‘decided to keep all roads open, although at that time the counâ€" ty had no adequate snow removal plant. The costs of snow removal in‘ 1930 was $5,376.00, which kept only & j portion of the county roads open for : traffic. The cost in 1931 was $1,319.â€" 88, including sanding of hills, which kept all roads open.â€"Weather condiâ€" ; In addition to the work so listed, a diversion of road was made east of Beamsville, to eliminate one crossing over the Canadian National Railway. The work was done by the county on a Dominion Railway Board order, with a division of cost as follows: Grade Crossing fund 40%, Canadian National Railway 20%, Province of Ontario 20%, County of Lincoln 20%. The cost to date, which does not inâ€" clude final surface is $8,531.13. The final surface will be laid during 1932. Maintenance 1931 : An examination of all roads, comâ€" prising the county road system, will show that a good standard of mainâ€" tenance has been obtained and that all roads are in a fairly satisfactory state of repair. / The general maintenance during the year was that commonly followed in previous years, viz., weed and brush cutting and tree trimming; Ditching; Grading; Dragging; Culvert and Bridge repairs; Resurfacing, including patching and additional stone wherevâ€" er needed; Oiling or surface treating; Snow removal; Guard railing. ‘ _ _The principles above outlined must not be taken to mean that road work as a factor in a county‘s development should be eliminated but it does hold out a W%m}fig‘;ig?.i’nst â€"over developâ€" ment and this appl‘es edually to townâ€" ship roads, co"m roads and provinâ€" clal highways.uq w22 0 > There must be a ¢oâ€"ordination of all roads especially it so far as their construction and maintenance affects individual taxpayer.. The taxpayer in some form or other pays all road costs. The division of costs of all roads has probably been one of the most frequently discussed subjects at every council meeting and at every road convention: during the past five years. It has been stated that there should be aâ€"revision of the basis of payments for the different classificaâ€" tion of roads and it is pleasing to note that the Department of Highways proposes a conference with County representatives to discuss this matter and probably to hear a report from the Highway Advisory Committee which has been making a study of the whole situation. There can be no doubt but that the construction of highways of all classâ€" es will go on but the rate at which they are built and the money that can be expended thereon must pe kept within the bounds of the ability of the taxpayer to pay, having due considâ€" eration for his other obligations. The maintenance of roads of all classes must be continued but continâ€" ued in such a way that as nearly as possible one hundred per cent. value is obtained for every dollar spent. Construction 1931 § Practically no new construction was undertaken and such items as ars charged toâ€" construction are listed in the attached construction sheet: The above work is incidental and common to all yvears but there are one or two features in this year, worâ€" thy of note. If reference is made to previous reâ€" ports it will be noted that a number of them have made reference to the costs of highways. An extract from the 1928 reportâ€" "The construction and maintenance of a county road must proceed in accordance with the ability of the taxpayer to absorb the cost thereof and construction of all roads canrnot, for this reason, be proâ€" ceeded with on a greater scale than the tax limit and the years for comâ€" pletion must be gauged by the same measure."~ From 1929 report may I quoteâ€""It has been said occasionally that wrong types of roads are being built and that only the most permanâ€" ent types should be corstructed. ‘That is true only up to the limit of the caâ€" pacity of the ratepayer to pay for them, together with 4n observance of The many friends of James McCrea will be pleased to know he is getting along fine after a serious operation at Niagara Falls Hospital, N.

On the county‘s low cost roads the vehicle, if they can be called a vehicle, that is doing the most injury is the farm tractor operâ€"â€" ated as a hauling medium and using projecting lugs. The percentage of this traffic is small and the injury done and cost of maintenance entailed The handling of roads in this meâ€" thod must not be confused with a surâ€" face treatment with bitumen and covâ€" ering. From present indications at a cost of approximately . $160.00 per mile the work has been a success and should these roads come through the winter with only a small percentage of patching necessary and a regular surface treatment applied in the spring; a good cheap road may be maintained. ‘There was used in patching 20330 gallons of tar.

Primer treatment: During the year an experiment was made on some loose topped roads to see if a material could be used which would have three advantages, viz., to retain the loose material on the road; to act as a dust layer; to improve the riding qualities of the road. The meâ€" thod of procedure was to thoroughly drag the road ,spreading the loose maâ€" terial as evenly as possible to fill all depressions ard to this smoothed and shaped ‘surface, one third of a gallon of asphalt primer was applied, If there was not sufficient loose materâ€" ial to fill all irregularities, additional quarter inch stone was added. It was the expectation that sufficient of the bituminous material would penetrate through the loose stone and dust to prime the solid ‘material below and also that the loose stone itself would be bonded. ; The following roac were so treated: 16 foot road 1E ... 10.5 miles 7TEâ€".........‘ 4.0 miles 105N ... 4.2 miles Included in this price was gravel covering to the extent of 18 pounds per square ‘yard.

There was the additional advantage, that the work was done at the times when best results were obtained and done to a better advantage in every particular.

Do you know we played a game of hockey at Port Colborre Monday night and the Peach Kings came out on top with a 8 to 2 win over Port Colborne at the Port. This was some job to beat this Port team on their own ite. A great many may not know we have a team. Wel!l true enough there has not. been much said, as the Athletic Club was rather reticent in blowing their horn as matter conâ€" cerning the arena could not be deâ€" pended upon. And for the "doubting Thomases" the local team with oanly three good workouts go and meet a team at Port Colborne who have been on the ice, six to eight, weeks and walk out with a 3 to 2 victory. Every player on the team deserves the credâ€" it, but the whole secret is that Harvey (Pud) Reid is the coach and he told his team what to do and they did it. This with the hard work the boys did won the game. Then we have Pep Shephard looking after the boys‘ welâ€" fare and there is nobody gets along with the boys as well as Pep. and if we ‘do not win games it will not be the fault of Shephard, Reid or the lads on the team. We could not get just exactly what happened or how the game was won but one would naâ€" turally expect a report coming from the town the.game was played inâ€"but it has been known for a% that Port Colborne never reports the losses. . Niagara Falls®comes here Monday night and so far they have been winâ€" ning regularly but this does not sigâ€" nify they are the best. Dunnville has not been on the ice very much this year, so they are not conditioned as yet and so far Port Colborne have not shown up well, but you can never tell. We are not saying much. The only attitude that should be taken with our team is confidence and a boost from every citizen. We have been educated to good hockey and it cannot be expected to have a million dollar team. No doubt the community will get a thrill out of every night. Will see you at the game Monday night. by team: Goalâ€"Gordon. Lee. y Defenceâ€"R. Stone, H. Hillier. _ Centreâ€"Wilfred Lawson.

This line is very appropriate in conâ€" nection with the citizens‘ ice palace, the arena and when we say battle or war.we are not fooling. It had to be a battle to get the dispute straightenâ€" ed out. This lasted for three weeks and China or Japan couldn‘t touch this war but the local fight did not last. It is all settled and not a better sheet of ice in the country is on the arena toâ€"day and is being used day and night by hockey players all over the countrv. Of course this has been caused by the mild weather. The Peach Kings hockey team for 1932 had the horor of having the first skate this year and since then Jimmy Bell has been run ragged: day and night. . % following composed the Grimsâ€" CA LL 36 GRIMSBY NCE OVER N â€" SPORT HOCKEY $| \
