A delegation from Uxbridge con- sisting of Mr T C Nicholls, Rev. Mr: Moore and Mr. Gregg, asked that the County monument be placed at .Ux- bridge as that town is centrally lo- cated and was considered the head- quarters of the 116th Bn., besides being the home of the late command- ing officer, Col. Sam. Sharpe, Mr. Samuel Farmer of Port Perry, asked that he be appointed County Historian, without salary, so that he might have an official standing when undertaking the work of collecting in- formation - regarding the part Ontario County played in the war. He stated that he would endeavor to collect: 1 The names and rank all Ontario County men who were in khaki during the recent war. 2 The names of those who were wounded. 3 The names of the men who were decorated and for what reason. 4 The names of those who were killed 1n action or who died while in the service and a short obituary of each. The matter was referred to -the Memorial Committee. The railway committee brought in the following report: "That your Committee be authorized to co-operate with the various muni- cipalities interesed in the completion of the Toronto Eastern Railway, in whatever course is deemed advisable to promote that undertaking. Also that a memorial be_ prepared by the County Clerk addressed to the Hon. J. D. Reid, Minister of Rail- ways and to the President of the Can-. adian National Railway System approving of the purchase of the oronto and Eastern Railway by the Dominion Government, pi 'urging the immediate completion of same." | Stook up with good Coal | .

It was also quite apparent that 'there would have to be a more equal distribution of money for County Roads in the various municipalities than was made Tist year. £5 a Mi. Mason pointed out that while $11,640.31 had been levied in South rio, and $14,776.67 had been a there; in North Ontario .the expenditure had beeh. double what had been levied--$7,821.37 levied, and $15,837.59 spent. He proposed | . that the County be divided as for{ electoral ridings and that the monies assessed in each riding for County roads be spent within the riding. This motion when put before the Council was lost. Mr Mason's further suggestion that two road making outfits--one in North Ontario be put int@ operation --was received more favorably, and will probably be considered when the estimates are being made. The sum of $90 was granted to the County newspapers in order that they mnght employ a reporter to give an account of the County Council pro- ceedings. The Finance Committee recom- mended the payment of $6000 to the Canadian Navy League. They also asked the Patriotic grant be continued for the months ef January, February, and March, which means that our assessment for this purpose will be about one-quarter: of what it was last year. 4 ; The total expense on' County Roads last year was $38,525.95. and of this the Government-will pay approximatly $11,958. i : : The Adyisory Committee re County Roads consists of the following gen- Take Care of Your Telephone!
