He was mainly responsi- ble for the excellent system of road building in his native country and says that under no condition would they give up their present policy. The reeves from every township were present. along with other delegates, and they listened attentively to the two hour address of this experienced man. At the end of his address he answer- ed a number ot questions suggested by his speet-h. In the evening Mr, Campbell, provincial road instructor, also gave an ad- diess. dealing for over two hours with the road building system and the benefits that would accrue by the adoption of the leading roads by the county. The attendance and addresses of Mr. Wood and Mr. Camfibell will undoubtedly do much to further the movement for good roads in Grey county. GRANT TO BATTALION BAND. The county council resumed its delibera- tion:- :1t2.3i0 p. m. on Friday, utth all the members present. Mr. Preston mti'cduced .. . .. '._ I ' I that $7M be granted the men of the 3lst lumaliuu and clause ii recommended that $100 be given to help pay the new band instruments. All the clauses passed with- out. dLfiiculty. including clause :3 to grant $500tuthe battalion: but clause 6 recom- mending $100 to the baud created a discuéé‘rt sion that lasted more than an hour. § lulu-navy.” 3"." -.----. ___- i _ . . a report of the finance conglmttee. winch rccunnnended the payment at a large num- ber «i»ffi:,tccounts. g‘lapse 5 recmmnended Mr. Paterson said that he was against the grant because the Durham and Meaford bands, as battalion bands. had nut received any grant. Furthermore he believed that this was purely an Owen Sound organiza- tion that should be supported by the town. Mr. Gordon favored the grant and said that when the old battalion band went to camp if was obliged to look to other places for the requieite number of.players. It was not the Owen Sound band. it belonged to the whole county of Grey. The citizens’ own band was the Owen Sound baud. Warden McDonald said that a battalion was probably judged more by its band than anything else. Since the decline of our band the’battufion had never been able to capture the silver urn offered {for the best rural regiment at camp. lie strongly favored the grant. Mr. Frost also favored the-grant. .Music was necessary as a recreatnon m tune _of peace and necessary to brace the nerves 1n time of war. Mr. Paterson then rose and stated that he was laboring under a delusion reepecting the band. He thought that it was purely an Owen Sound organization. He would now vote for the grant. Report No. 1 ot the county property com' mittee recommended the payment of a num- ber of accounts. Uuo clause, however, re- specting the payment for some eave trough- ing done at the 'court house, created much opposition and lengthy discussion while in committee ot the whole. The report was faased clause by clause and finally adopted. lugh McKay. of Durham, was granted an anctioneer’s license free for one year, as requested bv petitioners from Durham. GRANT TO THE RED CROSS FUND. . The council resumed on Saturgiay morn- mg and some at the resoluttons they adopted were very xnterestmg.

The by-law passed its various readings mxd was finally adopted. TO MEET IN DURHAM. A resolution was then, on motion of Mr. McKinnon, iutmduced. He moved that the county council adjourn to meet in Dur- ham on June 25th. 1900. A heated discussion followed this resolu‘ tion. The vote finally resulted in a victory for the Durlmmites by eight to seven, Mr. McColeman was absent owing to the death of his brother. but it is doubtful if his pres" ence would have changed the result. The arguments advanced bf' those who favored Durham was that the c xange would give the members from other tarts of the County a chance to stud the requirements of the people in the em them sectimi.
