In family affairs cases, there were 507 visita and in juvenîle cases 376 visita. 132 children were involved in the tii classification and 50 in the sec- ond. One juvenile was admitted to Ontario Hospital, one to a fos- ter home mnd two to the Boys' Training Sèhool. $1 ,360.54 was paid through the office on court orders for non-support. Problems deait with by the Family Court officiais involved jealousy, home management, threatening bodily harm, assault, non-support, drunkenness, mental ilines, martial discoird, unemploy- ment, desertion, indecent behav- iour, truancy, dangerouse use of firearms, setting fires, theft. Il Bis Unpald Reeve Dodge of Cobourg, the Courties Council Représentative on the Cobourg Hospital Board, said he had been shown a list of indigent patients accounts by the Board, which had flot been paid. Warden Bruce Jandrew replied' that most of the accounts had been paid. William Barr, Clerk-Treas- urer of the Counties, pointed out that there were few accounts which had not been paid for the simple reason that the townships were disputing themn and it was no use the counties paying the ac- counts when they could flot col- lect from the townships. In connection with the request of the Children's Aid Society for a grant of $5,000 for their build- ing fund, Dr. N. S. McKechnie, member of the Society, sâid that efforts to get office accommoda- tion to replace the present inade- quate office space had not been successful. Lot Already Purchased Accordingly a lot had been pud- chased and contracts let for an office building which would cost fromn $29,000 to $30,000. $15,000 was available for use from the re- serves and this amount, with a $4,000 bequest which had been re- ceived recently. would leave only about $10,000 to raise. If the counties would make a grant of $5,000 the remaining $5,- 000 could be in the form of a mortgage. In the past six years the Society had raised $10,000 by popular subscription, including $4.400 raised this year, to which the Dept. of Welfare had added $1,100. Weed Menace Percy Gooding, Weed Inspector, told the counicil session. that it was a waste of money to spray hardy weeds on a basis of North- uimberland one year and Durham the next, because under the alter- native spraying, the weeds were not sufficiently checked. Pois- on ivy had been sprayed very ef- fectively by the proper syray lin sufficient quantities. Weed seeds from western grains were causing considerable trouble to farmers with clover. Farm machinery being transported along the highway, often spread large quantities of weed seeds, Mr. Good said. Reconxmended Grants The Finance Committee recom- mended payment of the usual $1,- 500 grants to the hospitals in Bowmanville, Port Hope, Coboure and Peterborough Civic Hospital. It was decided to increase to $5 the daily rate for indigents, fol- lowing the request of Oshawa Hos- pitai. Other grants recommended in- cluded $4.000 for the Family Court; $500 to Agricultural Rep- resentative; $1,000 Canadian Na- tional Institute for the Blind; $500 to Salvation Army; $175 to Junior Farmers group in both counties; Women's Institutes $50; agricul-w tural societies $2,500,. Hydro Rates Go Up on Jan. lst To Municipalities Effective Jnnunry lst next the Ontario Hydro Commission will incrense its rates to municipalities by f ive per cent. it wns announced Friday nfkht by Robert Saunders, Chairman of the Ontario Hydro Commission. The increase is on the whole- sale price of power sold to munici- palities, the Chairman explained to the Association of Municipal Electric Utilities meeting at Big- win Inn, Muskoka. Mr. Saunders said the increase will not affect Toronto's domestic rates to consumers, nor will it af- fect communities where increases in rates were recently allowed. The Ontnrio Commission late last. year announced n 12 per cent increase in wholesale price to mu- nicipalities, retroactive to Nov. 1. Following that increase variousl municipalities incrensed their rates to domestic consumers. We Ail Make Mistcikes!

Te~e answer to this ques- tion is important to every motorist every m~inute he is edriving along.the highway. At 50 miles per hour a car etravels rou ghly t hree car-lengths before mind and muscle *can translate the sight of danger. into a foot on the brake epedal; theri it goes another six or seven car-lengths before even perfectbrakes will bring it to a stop. Common sense suggests staying at least twice the "thinking distance" be- hind the cax' ahead'in moving traffic. If you are tired, stay teven further back; or better still, don't drive at all; let ssomeone else do it more safely.' Heavy Damage Caused by Frost tDoosis Couniy Raie hy One Mill uts The report of the Rond Superin- tendent for the period up to April t30, presented at the Counties Council session last week, reveal- ed that an estimated frost dam- age of $10.000 jumped up to $30,- 000, due to unexpected severe weather in Mnrch of this year. The Counties Treasurer, William Barr, informed the council that the auditors' report showed a deficit of $10,149.31 last year. $5.000 of this was on account of kunexpected road expenditure and around $5,000 was In connection with a special grant to'Campbell- ford Hospital. The Rond Superintendent's re- port, for the period ending April 30, refèrred to the heavy frost damage, worst: in rnany years. The most severe- frost damage took place on No. 25 near Mongan- ston; No. 18 between Cobourg and Coldsprings; No. 10 between Can- ton and Garden Hill and between Bowmanville and Tyrone. Wash- out damage was fairly genéral. Three bridges and large culvertsj were put out. of -commission andi two were damaged. Two were put out of comnmiesion by flood', two by excessive lo.ads and one by age. Repairs other than reported in January have not been excessive. Repair of break.-up and washout damage, is nearly finisheti, along with completion of chloridipg. GradingZ is finished on a haîf -mile construction job on No. 62 and construction has stnrted on No. i between Hampton and Taunton and a small job on No. 14 in Cart- wright. 1$5,559-75 On Roads Non-subsidy expenditures to the end of April totalled $1,232.80. Maintenance totalled $58,400.72 and nmong the items were snow removal of $19,092.05 (most of the snow falling in March) sanding $2.610, grading, etc., $5,156,20; holes, frost boils. wnàshouts, $21,- 926. Construction amounted to $4,583.71 and miscellaneous am- ounted to $6,172.61. A power. shovel cost $12,873.34 and some minor items of machinery brought the machinery expenditure to $13,029.43. Total outlay, less credits, $5,559.75. The report of the Rond Com- mission, presented by Reeve A. Wartman of Percy township, re- venled that the situation in re- gard to work on urban ronds, as provideti for in an amendment to the Highway Improvement Act, wns somewhat obscure. Reeve Wartman said that they were un- der the impression that the pro- cedure to follow in doing work onc urban ronds was to take the ronds into the counties road system and.

NETER AND puNqpING SERVICE then, when the work was com- pleted, turn them back to the mu- nicipality. In 1948, two roïads in Newcastle were taken over. However, the >Department of Highways appar- ently wanted a piece of county road in every urban municipality and the bylaws were sent back unapproved by the Department. The same thing occurred in con- nection with a piece of rond at 'Miilbrook. Another situation ex- ists in Brighton Township. Statements Confused Asked how tlWe matter became so confused, the Reeve said that the'information from the Deputy- Minister had been that the roads would be handled by takine them into the counties and then revert themn to the urban municipalities but now the Minister came along and said Once they were in the counties and they stayed there. The Rond Commission report revealed that drastic reduction' had to be made in the number of requests for rond construction which could be filled. An ad- ditional $17.000 was required to carry out the road program, or one half miii, and it was flot known yet whether the supplementary bylaw would be approved. This would work out to a quarter of a mili for the counties to meet extra and the same amount in the subsîdy. Snow removal was set at $25,000 'and most of this was used up by the late snows this year. Sanding was reduced to $5.000 and grnd- îng, etc., was fixed at $20,000. The work done in gravel refi was s0 extensive as to approach ai- most the scale of construction. Surface treating wns set at $14,- 1000 and prime at $14.150. The or- iginal figure for maintenance was $139,000 and was now $176.550. Streets In Port Hope There had been a request for construction on two streets in Port Hope but the Rond Com- mission had not come to a decision yet. Construction accordingly was figured out at $104.500: mainten- ance $176.600; new machinery, $17.000; miscellaneous $17,000; Trenton suburban rond $13,000, or a total of $324,100. As the esti- mate had been $306,000, the debt balance would now be $17,350. n reply to a query about the two connecting links in Bowman- ville, Reeve Wartmnn said that it would depend on how much money could be spared. "We in Cartwright have the honor of the bîggest reduction of aîl'. said Reevç B. Heaslip of Cart- wright with a dnb of ironic hum- our. Ahl grent souls are simple-in thought, word and action.

There had been some surprise in evidence earlier ini the session because the Department of High- 'V h ways had not granted approval t the bylaws reverting to the urban municipalities of Millbrook and Newcastle, ronds whîch had been taken over by the counties for improvement. In the case of Millbrook, he said, the counties in 1925 had as- sumed a street that had neyer been turned back to the counties and nobody knew that it had flot f t been reverted. In 1938 theI counties asked for approval of the by-]aw to revert this street but it was not approved by the de- partment. There was another request in 1949 and so far it has not been approved. Milibrook, he said, had two main connecting links and the northern route would be a heavy responsibility for the municipality to k.eep up. Newcastle was being given con- sideration, he said. Mr. Marston pointed out that the Minister of Highways was very interested in regard to urban ronds as the ur- ban centres paid into the coun- ties road system and should get Thnkof it the same consideration a§ the the extra time3 townships.
