HIGHWAY The big shipment of Provincial Highway road signs for use in this district. which were received at the local Provincial Highways office some time ago, were placed in posi- tion last week and should provca great help to the motoring public, especially strange tourists motor- ing through the country. The signs, which are about three feet square, are painted black on a white background, are easily seen, and, if followed, should lessen the mistakes made by motorists who are unfamiliar with the road conditions. It is expected that the erection of thesesigns will be completed this week. ‘ Loon 8M Busy Last Week Erect- ing 'l'ntflc Sign: on All Highways Under Their Jurisdictionâ€"A Bio lolp to Katerina. Besides the municipal signs placed at the entrance to towns, signs are erected at each crossroad, and at township lines are signs bearing the names of the townships. The cross- roads signs contain two heavy black line crossing each other, an arrow designating the direction the side- lines cross the main road, and where only one roadway enters the Pro- vincial Highway, only one arrow is used and that on the side from which the Sideroad enters the high- way. All curves, too, are marked, a single curve being designated by a winding, or curved, arrow, while a series of curves in a short. distance is marked by an arrow with a dou- hle curve. The system is easily un- derstood, and it followed. should eliminate much of the inconvenience now experienced in driving over an unfamiliar road.

The third annual bowling tourna~ ment of the Durham Lawn Bowling Association, held on the local greens on Thursday afternoon last was without doubt the best held yet, the competitions being keenly contested throughout, and it was well on into Friday morning before the tournaâ€" ment was called on account of rain, with one event undecided.

The elimination of the dangerous curve on this hill is one of the greatest improvements noted so far. Commencing some distance from the brow of the hill, the road- way is being straightened out across a couple of farms in the vicinity, the intervening valleys filled in. and when completed, one long, straight grade will take the place of the nu,- merous curves now encountered. All along the whole route, the roadway is being widened and when completed and linked up with the stretch south of Orchard finished two years ago, the Garafraxa will he one of the best motor highways inuthe province. ‘A Roadway North of Mount Forest Being Rapidly Linked Up With Completed quk in Orchard Vi- cinity.â€"Curves Being Eliminated. Though we have no official in- formation, we understand that it is the intention of the Highways De.- partment to continue the work on up to Chatmyorth, commencing the other side of Dornoch where work was left off two years ago. This at present, is a narrow, dangerous road- way, and the work of improving this part of the highway is rather one of necessity than luxury. COUNTY COUNCIL IN SESSION THIS WEEK Commenced Monday Evening and Is Expected to Be Busy Week. The June session of the Grey County Council opened on Monday evening at the court house at Owen Sound. with Warden T. R. McKen- zie. ol' Artemesia Township, in the chair. The session promises to be an interesting one, and with the ex- ception of Reeve‘ George A. Both- well of Sydenham Township, who is in Europe, every member of the council is expected to be in his seat. Among the important matters which are to come up is the report of the equalized assessment, which was dealt with at. the January sessiOn, although the by-law was left over until this session. There is consid- erahle dissatisfaction among some of the'County Councillors regarding the assessment as adopted at the last. session, and they intend to put up another stiff fight when the by-law is introduced, although it is hardly expected that any changes will be made. - Dining With the I. 0.

DEPUTATION 'WAITED 0N COUNCIL WEDNESDAY Yesterday was deputation day at the County Council, and among other deputations that waited on the Council was one from Egremont re- garding the new County-Provincial road linking up Dundalk with the Guelph-Owen Sound highway: The present designation of the road covers the road from Dundalk to Hopeville, then along the 12th of Proton to the Town Line; then along the 16th of Egremont t0 the 20th sideroad. Here the road turns south two and a half miles to the 12th of Egremont. and then turns east and runs straight through to the Garafraxa. \r \"W “HOW-“U Among some of the citizens of Eg- remont, the Opinion is expressed that the DIODCI roadway would lie along the 18th Concession through Dromore. To do this, instead of turning south at the 20 Sideroad, the road would turn north for a mile and a quarter and thence west to the Garafraxa. The Dromore road has always been a good road, is much travelled and one of the best- known and most used roads in the township. Added to this, the fact that it is midway between the tvso present existing Countv- Prmincial roadways, one from Durham to Flesherton, and the other from Mount Forest to Shelburne. it would seem that the contention is a good one. ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP 0N PROV. HIGHWAY Mr. P. W. Kelsey Bad Peculiar Ex,- perience Monday Night When Re- turning Home From Visiting ' Friends. Was there an attempt made M0n~ day night to stage a hold-up at the Rocky? This is a question that Mr. F. \V'. Kelsey is very reticent about asking. but his version of an exper- ience that evening while returning home from a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Lachie McLean, would make one be- lieve that an old game was being attempted on the Provincial High- way four miles north of Durham. Mr. and Mrs. Kelsey were return- ing home'- when they noticed a grip lying on the. side of the road which had apparently dropped off a slowly moving car that. had just passed them. Mr. Kelsey at first thought of steppin the car, getting out and rescuing he lost article, but Mrs. Kelsey called to mind the old game of a few years ago when motorists were robbed when in the act, of picking up a tire from the roadway which had apparently been lost from a passnig car: Mr. Kelsey, however. slowed dewn his car and stopped. but when he was on the running board prepara- tory to stepping out on to the road Mrs. Kelsey noticed that the car that had just passed was stopped and had commenced to tum around. l‘o raise further suspicions the grip had been placed between two large stones in such a manner that it could not be picked up by a pass- ing motorist without getting out of his car, and with his wife 5 warning that the other car was turning around. Mr Kelsey got back into his carand proceededon his way. The other car followed them to the top of the Rocky hill when an- other car hove in sight going north, when Mrs. Kelsey noticed that the following car had put‘out its lights as if to turn around and follow the north-bound vehicle to see what the occupants would do when they ap- proached the apparently lost grip. we have heard nothing out o the We have heard nothing out of the usual happening, and neither has Mr. Kelsey, but it would be inter. eating to know for what reason that grip was placed on teh‘ road.
