Many of the dresses were two-piece, but varied in style from the most severely tailored to the utterlyfeminine. The new “short formals" attracted much attention. The ever-popular reversible, the Balmaccan, the reefer and the new Chesterfield,all trig, usable and purposeful styles were the most popular in the coats.Suits, which the commentator re- fered to as “the priority in fashion,”were supremely popular in both the tailored and dressmaker styles.

In spite of warningsigns, flags and lanterns and otherprecautions taken, there have been several reports of damaged oil pans, mufflers, etc. At a reduced speed the road can be navigated safely. He could see no reason why the pro­vincial government should not as­sume some share of the repair andmaintenance cost of this highway through the town. He suggested that it would be a good idea to detour the traffic up Charles and King ■treeta to Pntajun, Doncheater andthe Hamilton Road to London. The■peaker stated that he had seen sev­eral department of highways truckshauling heavy loads of atone to re­pair their own highways. In one in­stance he saw a stone crusher andmixer being hauled over our streets.He stopped the drvier, introducedhimself and enquired the weight ofthe load and learned it to be nearly36 tons. Mr. Smith stated that thetwo railroad companies pay nearly$6,000 in taxes to the corporation,while the Department of Highways do not contribute anything to theupkeep of the main roads throughIngersoll. . ,Councillor Preston remarked that although we are a separated town,the province should assume a shareof the damage done. At one time the by-laws limiting the loads toone-half at this time of the yearwere in effect but they are nowwithdrawn. Councillor Morrison could see nolegitimate reason why the provinceshould not assume its share of theupkeep of their highway through the town. No -other corporation ofthis size has as much highway roadas we have. The speaker wonderedif anyone else had noticed thearticle written by the Minister ofHighways. Mr. McQuesten, in whichit stated that remuneration would be given to the extent of damagesustained by the roads. CouncillorMorrison believed that the councilshould intercede through our mem­ber of parliament and see if we canget some redress or satisfactory so­lution. Last winter the Board ofWorks spent one-quarter of its timeon this road to keep the throughtraffic open, thus working in the in­terest of the provincial governmentand other streets thereby had to beneglected. We in Ingersoll bear thebrunt of the eastlbound traffic from London, when four or five otherhighways converge and all this ex­tra traffic passes along this onehighway. The speaker felt that he would like to see an attempt madeto interview the government on thismatter before a permanent repairjob is undertaken.Mayor Daniel considered these re­marks to be worthy of contempla­tion and stated that no work couldbe carried out at the present time.The meeting was then adjourned.
