THE DAILY BRITISH ENGINEER TRAINING DEPOT DID SPLENDID TRAINING DUR- ING THEWRRIOD OF THE WAR. The Depot Trained 5,000 Men and 70 Ofticers, The Unit Is Being Dis- banded Upon General Demobiliza- tion and Establishment Moved to Barriefield Camp. : X One of the district units that has done remarkably good work since the war began is the, Engineer Training Depot, which was established at Broekyille in May 1918. It bas been under command of Lt.-Col. Henry Harrison, C.E., officer. commanding the 4th Division, Canadian Engin- eers, Col. Harrison is one of the senior officers in the engineer service, hav- ing taken courses at the Tete Du Pont barracks and R.M.C:, . thirty years ago. He also took the staff course in 1911. In 1914 he went overseas, und was engaged on spec- jal duty in 1915, 1916 and 1917, in England and the United ' Sta Part of the time he spent at § front. He took over the commay, of the training depot in May, 1918. The depot trained 5,000 men and 70 officers, who upon reaching England underwent further training at Sea- forth. Col. Harrison speaks in the highest terms of the quality of the men received at the depot. They were, for the most part, mechanical, civil, mining, and electrical engin- ears, and skilled tradesmen. As a result of this, the training they re- ceived was very satisfactory and they became most proficient. The unit is being disbanded upon general demobilization, and the es- tablishment moved to the 'Barrie- field Camp last week, where the men { will receive their discharge through the District Depot. Col. -- Harrison speaks in the highesy terms of the | hospitality of the citizens of Brock- laville, He expects that he will re: turn to eivil life in about ten days. Previous to the war, the engineers were trained at St. John's, P.Q., but the demands of the war for engineers could not be met by the single train- ing school so an engineer and sig- nalling school was opened at Ottawa under Co. & A, McKenna, of headquarte staff, who was in charge during 1914, 1916, and 1916. Ha was succeeded by Col. W. W. Melville, but when that officer was appointed to command the depot at St. John's in 1917, the school was transferfed- with. him, Col. T. : BE. Powers, D.8.0., sueceeded him at Ottawa and continued. the training of signallers, but the need for "a training school for engineers was felt as St, John's could only serve i recruits from Quebec and the mari- {time provinces, and the school was {opened at Brockville for Ontario and { Western Canada on May 1st, 1918, and Col. Harrison was _ placed in command. Col. McKenna and Col. Poweérs are both on the headguart- er"s staff, Ottawa, GOOD ROADS CONYENTION. | In Ottawa Next Week Will Be A Big g Event. wi The Bastern Ontario Good Roads Association is to hold its anaual { meeting and convention in Ottawa on Tuesday and Wednesday of next | week.

David Purdy resigned his position gs county treasurer at the meeting of the Frontenac Couneil on Friday afternoon, and his son, Frank H. Purdy, was appointed in his stead. The latter served in France as lieu- tenant in the Canadian infantry. The Council passed the following resolu- tion: y "Phat this Council accept with re- get the resignation of David Purdy as treasurer of this county and ex- tends thanks to him for his Tong and faithful service, covering a period of twenty-one years." The appointment of Frank H. Purdy, as treasurer was made on mo- tion of Councillors Reed and Wens- lev. Mr. Purdy thanked the Council for the canfidence expressed in him by selecting him to succeed his father, It would be hard to equal his father's good record, he said," but he would try and be worthy of the Council's trust, Ex-Treasurer Purdy served Fron- tenac for twenty-one vears and the township of Kingston tor the previous eleven years, making & municipal ser- vice of thirty-two years in all. He was a painstaking and faithful offi- cial.

The report of the public school in- spector shpwed that out of the 100 teachers engaged, only four are' men, Fifty per cent. of the teachers came from outside of Frontenac---a very different condition of things as compared to some years ago, ~when the county itself supplied over nine- ty per cent. of its own teaching staff. Peter Ritchie, high county consta- ble, asked for an increase allowance in order to enforce the Truancy Act. He could not do anything unless more monéy was provided, These recommendations of the Fi- nance Committee were adopted: That the suburban road area grant for this, year be $13,000, of which the county and the city will eash pay $6,500; that the matter of a grant to the Sal- vation Army war fund. be left over fill the June session, when the budget is struck; that the House of} Providence daily rate for the care of county poor be increased fifty conts-a gay; that no action he taken on the request of the Frontenac La®V] Association for the appointment of a court stenographer. The Committee on Edacation de- elded not to grant the request of the Gananoque high school for a special grant to cover part of the expense in- curred by it as the resuit of the re- cent fire in the school. Road Superintendent R. H. Fair reported that about $68,400 would be expended this year on. the county roads, of which $40,000 would be for new roadways, $6,000 for machinery and $16,000 for maintenance, The following recommendations of the Property Committee were adopt- ed: That the court honse insurance be increased by $25,000, the policies to be placed with J.
