Your Public Improvements Committee and myself visited the
Coyne Road bridge on Febr.uary 9th,when we met a similar com-
mittee from the county of Middlesex. A certain number of improve--
ments was decided on by thejbint ~_o?1mitte'e, which haye since
been contracted for and c01I!R~~t~d ,~~',a,~a,E~sf~~?ry manner, at a
cost of $100, being $50 for each County, "
The Graham Road bridge is in a good state of repair, with
the exception of needing a few :nore plank for the floor to take
the place of som~ that are giying away.
The Wa.rdsville bridge ".-ill require to be re-planked this
year. In company with theengineel' of Middlesex I exaridned- it

work and succeeded in getting a goodjob done for $310, being $10
in excesS of my estimate. This work will be a great,benefit,to the
bridge as the water off the hill was doing it a serious damage.

the work of the association.
The first session of 1882 was wholly carried on by home~
talent, and at the second, lately held, the principal lecturer was
W. H. Payne, M. A., professor of the service and art of teaching
of the. ){ichigan University at Ann Arbor,_ in the state of Michi-
gan. The labors of this gifted and devoted educator were higWy
acceptable to themelllbers of the association.
All except three of the schools of the County have been kept
open during the whole year; one of these was kept open nine
months, and the remaining two six months each, the cause of clos-
ing being, in. each case, tho!;' building or repairing-of the. school-
house. In nearly an the schoolsgoodorderis'kept without re-
sort to,_corporal punishment,. and a consderable degree of educa-
tional spirit is shown by the young people.
lnconclusiop, I beg to thank the Council for,continu~d
.courtesy and 'confidence. With. congratJ].lationsthat the year soon
to close has been one of general har:nony and prosperity, .
I remain, Your Obedient Servant,
