off preparation for until wo move back from the front lines We aro at last under orders to move to a camp Since June 2nd not a day passed without hundreds of shells passing over our heads or exploding all around us Wo have been in Hie front area since Sept 1st and have stayed than three other battalions who were stationed north and south of us The Battalion has lost a lot of men as no doubt no ticed in he casualty lists hut they carried on the work assign ed and did heir bit nobly and men and officers deserve a wellearned rest have been away from headquarters for 113 days all lime in the forward area The battalion will all bo together at he rest camn until after Christmas so it will a very merry Christinas for all of us and wo do bono that rel atives and friends of the 127th at home will Irv to make the beat of knowing that we are taking a wellearned rest which will last over the holidays The behalf of officers and of he 2nd Halt formerly he 127th wishes to thank the many friends York County and city of Toronto the North Toronto Pat riotic League and the untiring ef forts of the ladies connected with the womens auxiliary of the for the Christmas boxes sent to of the men of the Ball still serving at front We also wish to ex tend our sympathy to families whose loved ones have been killed or wounded since last Christmas This war game is very trying when wo get more than our full share of it- Continued from It is In the memory of lis nil bow increasingly difficult task ap peared lux payer crying out against high rales and municipal rcprcsoritative attempt- to bricks without while the minor municipal ities were with problem of maintaining not to say improving these main high ways the County Council was from to time wrestling with problem In Juno Mr W fl ley who is ViceChair man of our Highway Hoard at the present timo and a member since its organization started a discus sion which resulted in a conven tion of representatives being held in Toronto in the fol lowing December This conven tions report was printed and dis tributed throughout the Province and doubtless played a part In awakening an interest in the problem in the minds of elect ors of tho Province The next milostone vas pass ed when in 1001 the Ontario Legislature passed an Act to as sist in the improvement of Pub lic Highways As this Act was designed to assist County organ izations Die municipalities of York County to par- lake of the Provincial Bounty In 1904 County Council of York a ByLaw to the electors The ratepayers turned it down and Wen in November another attempt was made to take the voice of the electors but it failed lo get the support of County Council About this lime Sir John Baton at request of Timo thy Baton made a grant of to build a model water bound ma cadam road on a section of Dun- das St This road built and proved a great Incentive to the Good Road movement It might be added here that in 1017 Sir John Eaton made a grant of some to build a model macadam roaa on a section of St new road has been built and it will prove as great an incentive to high class roads as did the grant of Tho problem continued to be a one for some years but it was finally necessary to have a special Act passed constituting electoral divisions of Fast and West York a good roads County Following this legisla tion a Joint meeting was held at of representatives of York County the City of Toronto the Toronto Hoard of Trade and the Ontario Motor League Res olutions were passed recommenc ing a commission composed of City County and Government rep resentatives lo undertake the im provement of the main highways leading into Toronto the three interests to contribute a third each to the cost The result of these negotia tions was lh foundation of a Highway Commission composed of Lionel Clark the present Chairman of the Harbour Com mission and the laic Controller Ward representing the City of Toronto Trcthewey rep resenting the Provincial Govern ment and Warden J Hull W and George Henry representing the County of York This Commission was formed and began work in At the beginning the road schedule was composed of miles The Commission appointed Mr A James asChiof Engineer and he haft since been responsible to the Board for the work of the Highway Improvement We spent under original agreement with the city each of the three interests contributing In 1915 a new Act was by the Ontario Legislature grant ing more generous aid towards Highway Improvement Under his legislation the Province pays towards construction and 20 towards the maintenance of the improved highways in these County systems The balance of cost equally by the City and County in our parlicu system Under this now ar rangement all of York County is included With passing of this Act of 1915 we now work under a Provincial Statute rath er under an agreement be tween the City of Toronto arid the County of York Our Hoard is now composed of five members Controller Foster and Ex- Alderman David are the City representatives W Pugsley and Wm Keith repre sent he County and Henry is the odd man mutually agreed upon We now have a lotal mileage in our schedule of miles 105 of which have been improved this latter mileage we have one mile of brick pavement miles of hound macadam and miles of waterhound ma cadam as well as 3 miles of grovel Our roads arc of a higher lyne ban any other County roads in Province We were able to profit by the experience of those who had begun work before us wo averaged on actual road construction about per mile When wo startca work between and woula have been estimate of cost per mile but conditions changed motor traffic has in creased eight or ninefold and our people appreciate bettor of road construction as they did not when we started highway im provements It is easier to obtain now than 000 seven years ago We also gradually improv ing our maintenance with Pro vincial vo oxc develop ing rapidly along this line Our ideal is a patrol system which will gradually bo established so that in the future our City constitu ents will not be as crflfcfO as they have sometimes been in past Hut lot m caution you not to expect miles of highway as even as he TorontoHamilton Highway All our roads will not ho called in to lukc as heavy traf fic as will naturally develop be tween those Iwo big cities and consequently it would he poor economy to build for a traffic that does not exist As our popula tion increases our type of con struction will improve to lake the greater traffic Road Improvement is In a transition stago and what lo salisfv us at the moment in all likelihood will not suit five years hence The Counties of this Province who are just about to undertake a system of Highway Improvement and there only four out of organiz ed Counties who have not improv ed highway systems or system now being organized have a big advantage in that they have the experience of the others during tho last fifteen years which has shown marked progress I look for a vast Improvement in all tho rural highways of Ibis County After we are through settling with the enemy of real progress overseas wo are lo have a great awakening our people will not be satisfied with the old order of things The improve of the County or main high ways has an educative vaiue that will not be lost on the minor mu nicipalities Our side roads must needs he improved because our farmers wijl not be satisfied un less they can motor home on a good road during all ho seasons I say motor advisedly because who more than the farmer needs a motor and I hear someone say Who more than ho can affora one if present prices continue Hut I am addressing York Pi oneers who have the wonderful achievements of the storied past lo inspire thorn This County has
