COUNTY TE A motion moved by Dr.

P. N. Gardner, of Ford City, and seconded by Alayor Will'am Woolatt, of Ojib-wav, proposed that the county rate be fixed at the Alarch session, in order that municipalities fixing their own local tax rate may be able to adequately provide for it, was left for the consideration of next years council. Referring to the practical certainty that the county rate for this year will be 8.6 mills. Reeve Gardner said Ford City's estimate to cover this payment would be some $12,000 short.

Such difficulties would be avoided, he pointed out, if the county rate were set earlier in the jear. The following resolution moved by Dr. P. N. Gardner, seconded by Deputy Reeve Louis AIcKee of Sandwich, was passed after brief discussion: "That the provincial government be requested to enact such legislation as they deem necessary to make it compulsory that all persons incarcerated county jails in the province of Ontario be finger printed, photographed and described, and that a copy of this resolution he forwarded to the clerk of each county council the province.

Reeve Ducharme. of Belle River, opposed the motion on the ground that innocent persons confined on suspicion should not be subjected to finger printing and having their photographs filed with the police records. "If they are innocent, Dr. Gardner said, "it won't hurt them. "Its not what I would call an honorable procedure, Reeve Ducharme replied.

County Councillors Want Blue Water Road Marked Members Pass Motion Opposing Bridge Appeal By Anderdon The late of the Blue Water Highway, the super-tourist route which is designed to circle ihe lake and iher frMit.v cf Ff.sex County, will be decided by the county council at its afternoon session today. AO AUTHORITY Several days ago the council tentatively adopted a recommendation brought in by a special committee, that this highway be mapped out and registered by county engineer this year. This morning the council was advised by J. H.

Rodd, K-C that the county has no power under the Highway Improvement Act or the Municipal Act, to undertake the work proposed, or to employ engineers to make a survey. To secure such authority, the county must seek special legislation, which would cost approximately $300, Mr. Rodd advised. Reeve Anthony Alarentette, of Sandwich West, and Reeve James Gow, of Leamington, laid a motion before the council, which will be considered this afternoon, that mapping of the highway proceed as recommended. and that the special legislation required, be sought.

If this motion is carried, the Blue Water Highway will become a fact as far as future plans and records of the county are concerned, and ail future maps will be required to conform to its route. BRIDGE MOTION A motion appointing th warden, road superintendent and Reeve H-Iloden, of Colchester to oppose an appeal by Anderdon before the County Judge, to have certain bridges added to the county sjs-tem, was put through this morning. During this session also, a motion fostered by Reeve Anthony Alarentette, of Sandwich West, was passed, to request Windsor and Walkerville members of the suburban area commission to consider adding the Kavanagh road from the Huron Line to Pillette road, to the suburban road system. This road crosses four county roads and a provincial highway. If the suburban area commission expresses willingness to tase it over, a move will he made to have it declared a county road.

This mornings session of the county council adjourned early to go into finance committee of the whole. It is hoped to finish the remaining work before the council which includes passage of a bylaw setting the county tax rate this afternoon, and so avoid a further session next week.

chairman of the building committee, and Fred Smith, hairman of the management committee, met with Town Engineer C. R. MeColl yesterday, to go over the site of the new Grove avenue school in the west end of town. The object of the committee was to settle with the engineer, a Suitable location for the new school, which will not Interfere with the extension of Grove avenue. King stieet and Queen street, all of which abut on the school property.

In the future. This action was taken on recommendation of the town council made hen the latter body passed the school estimates last Monday night. This committee will recommend to the school board whether a suitable way tan be found out of the difficulty, with the property as it stands, or whether some adjacent property should he expropriated, to open a way for the street extensions concerned. No definite conclusion was reached yesterday. At the regular board meeting this week, a tender entered by the H.

Pragnell Company of Windsor for the plumbing and heating contract on the Prime of Wales sc5 ool addition, was discussed by the board, Mr. Pragne'l being piesent. This tender offered the lowest figure for the work, although It was unaccompanied by the required check or bond, as a consequence the contract was awarded to the next lowest tender, that of the J. L'Hereux Co. Air.

Pragnell claimed omission of the check had been an oversight, and urged that the board should reconsider his tender, which was accompanied by a certified check on the following morning. The board decided that they could not interfere with the regulations set by the architect, which had called for check or bond with the tender, and that the contract with the IHereux Company must accordingly stand. A similar ruling was given in the case of Leo AIcLaugnlin, whose tender for lockers and steel partitions had also been unaccompanied by a bond. In this case new tenders are called, since Mr. AIcLaughlin's figures were the only bid submitted.

Mr. Pragnell stated that he would seek legal advice as to the possibility of upsetting the board's decision and forcing a reconsideration of the plumbing and heating tenders on the Prince of Wales school.

SPEAKS ON AST TO DEANERVLAYMEN Members of County Association Meet at AH Saints' Accomplishments of laymen for the church since its early beginnings were described last night by Rev. A.

Irwin, Kingsville, during the course of an address to the Essex Deanery Anglican Laymen's at All Saints Church. He pointed to the beautiful themes developed in literature and art on sacred subjects. Beautiful pictuies and inspirational music created by laymen had been not only guides but an influence for stability the church as a whole, the speaker declared. Much of the Old Testament Scripture had been written by laymen. He urged the men of Jhe modern church to maintain the same ideals -and pointed to the large field of activity for them.

Lyndon Smith, a son of Magistrate W. A. Smith, and a student at Trinity College, University of Toronto, dealt in interesting fashion with criticisms commonly expressed by lay members of the church against certain practices. Some laymen were inclined to chide their fellows for either failure to practice or observe some customs. Such ideas were wrong, he maintained, pointing to the necessity of observing fundamental things of the church.

W. T. Carthew, president of the association, occupied the chair. Prior to tlje addresses a shoit service was conducted. BXLLROOM BURNED CHICAGO, June 25.

No Bridge? Detroit Saturday Night) to be voted on would give the bridge comnany a perpetual franchise if adopted. The bridge company lephes that the ordinance does not carry a franchise at all, and that the rights it grants to ore's Detroit streets expire by law in 20 years. The objectors want the city to reserve some control over lobs. The performance of the past few day over the proposal to postpone the referendum an Instructive illustration of the tremendous turmoil we would have to endure over bridge tolls every time a gassy politician wanted to get himself elected to something. A quarter of a century of the regulation of street car fares, and the politics connected therewith, is enough for one lifetime.

Thank heaven, if the bridge is built the tolls will be regulated by the war department in Washington, and Washington is far enough away to make political yahooing difficult. Those who want a bridge across the Detroit river while they are on earth this time will vote for this one. It will be some years before private capital can again complete all the organization work that is necessary to get a bridge under and it will be more years before a biidge can be built with public money. Those who see no advantage in this bridge or any other bridge, will vote against it. Could anything be fairer than thatf BorderitesAttendingB.M.E.

Conference in Owen Sound Dr. Bell Officially Opens Sandwich East Town Hall QENTLEAIEN of the Board of Commerce and others who asked for a postponement of the bridge referendum until November, and failed to get it, have served their city better than if they had succeeded. Their objection to a vote on June 28 was that the voters had not been given enough Information about the project to vote intelligently. That objection no longer holds, for it has produced all the information that the average layman can digest about any bridge. If he had any more he mignt run amuck and try to buy or build the bridge with city money, as he did in the case of the street railway, though he had been supposedly informed about street railways over a period of 25 years.

The objectors suspect that the proposed grades of the bridge will be too high in places. The bridge company presents it list of engineers who have made the designs and plans, and this list includes some of the best talent in the country. The objectors want to know whether the bridge will be acceptable architecturally. Tne bridge company replies that it has retained one of the leading firms of architects in Detroit to look after the embellishments of the structure.
