I K^od:)^o^o^o^'0^o^ F. T.HILL & CO ^s:i^csck<^c^i^ THE ROAD QUESTION. A querist writes elsewhere in this issue asking what our county com- missioners are Joing towards securing the available government money for our roads in this county. Wc do not think a move has yet been made in this direction. We are informed that some ten or eleven oonntiea are pre- paring to secure their share of the â-  million dollars set aside for thi.s pur- pose. Among these, Bimcoe on one Bide of UB, and Huron on the other, have decided to go into the movement Huron County will iaisej8SO,000 and receive $40,000 from the government, making 8120,000 to be expended on th<! roads of that county. The money will be expended over a period of ten years. Careful estimators assert that at the end of ten years each township will have at least 25 luilca. of road with gravel or broken stone. Considering that Mr. Richardson, who was our coiinl.v commissioner at the time, was largely instrinnental in getting the govermiient to place aside on.; million for road pnrpofles, we in this county arc certainly slow in reap- ing the benefit accruing to us from his efTort. Ollnsr cuuiilies hiive lalieii the initiative in going into scientific road improvement when Grey eoniitv o'.iiniid have been llie lirst, instead of shyly hanging back as it has, with its finger in its mouth and letting thf other fellows step in ahead It just uiiniunts to ihis ly open to anyone who feels that he has any ideas to ofler.
