township The fact is however that the roads placed on tho Keswick town plan in 1U69 end on the shores of Lake and ac cording to federal law roads ending on navigable waters simply cannot be closed These roads were closed however during the of Roches Point in The reassessment this year resulted in the discovery of the roads Apart from the legal as pects of the situation Mrs Link contends that the roads should be reopened to give access to land back from lake to pro vide car and park space which the crowded resort community badly needs The history of the roads is link with Ontarios past

vulnerable to attack by Ameri cans He planned to call the new capital Keswick It would be linked with the Ottawa river on Die east Georgian on west to provide a sale in land waterway in event that the Americans ruled Lake Ontario In plan discarded Keswick given to its present owner and the old Keswick became Roches Point But the roads still remained at least on old Keswick plan When the village was resur- veyed in the roads were incorporated as building lots says Mrs Link and because roads ending upon navigable waters cannot be closed she contends the roads were closed illegally The roads bear names which are part of the history of the district One of them Is called Copt Mays Road A dock built by this man Is still In use and farther up the road the remains of a trading post are still in use
