' In compiiance with the terms of the report of the standing committee on roads and bridges adopted by the couneil at the January session, I, in company with the county engineer, visited the site of the bridge across Pigeon Creek on the boundary between the townships of Ops and Manvers, at the time in the month of March last, when it was deemed the water would be at the highest at the melting of the snow. I found that the elevation of the approaches and bridge were not sufficient. A report from the engineer will be laid before Owing to certain errors in valuation of the Village of Woodville by the county-valuators a reduction of the nggtegate will be necessary for the purposes of the equalization of assessments for the present year.

Your committee have considered the para- graph of the Warden's address and the report of the county Engineer relative to the height of the approaches to, and the bridge across Pigeon Creek on the boundary between the townships of Ops and Manvers, constructed last year by this council and the council of the united counties of Northumberland and Durham. Instructions for and examination by the warden and the engineer at the the time of the spring freshets were given at the Jan- uary session. It is apparent that the approaches _ and bridge should be raised. in connection with it which could form a sub- ject for arbitration under the provision; of the municipal act. Your committee hold: 1g these vicws, rccommed that no action be taken. make up the supplementary amount. There is attached to the petition an appendix, some of the statements in which are quite extrava- gant in their relation to the facts. and county councils relative to the outlay incuxred. Your committee is of the opinion the bridge is not a. county bridge and that, therefore, there is no liability resting upon the oounty, anti further that _n_o_question has arisen in the' eEgineer’s repoft iévith the adation of another Hub-rail material to be plawd above the present one. Your committee have considered the petition of Iames McCaughey and a. large number of ratepayers of the townships of Garden, Laxton, Digby and Dalton asking a grant of $250.00 to supplement a conditional grant of the same amount made by the legislature for the purpose of repairing the Victoria Road south of Uphill. Your committee recommend that the sum of $150.00 be granted on condition that the local municipalities interested raise the additional sum of $100.00 which is required to Your committee recommend that the report of Mr. Kehoe as to the repairs on Black Water bridge authorized at the January session be accepted es satisfactory, end that that the treasurer be instructed to my Mr. Kehoe the sum of $10.00 for making repairs.
