Wm. Finlayson, M.P.P. for East tsimcoe, was the rst member heard.

They ask you to agree on what will be the feeders. They -have laid down this plan and they ask your assist- ance. We as members had nothing i to do with this plan; I, for one, was not consulted. - " ` Present Mileage Absurd There are now, he continued, 56 miles of provincial highway and 450 miles of county highway in the coun- ty, while the total road mileage is ` 2500 miles. This is absurd, Mr. Finlayson declared. If it were al- . lowed to continue, you would have; every mile of the 2500 in the county system. Your engineer is not given enough money`to maintain the pres- ent system, to say nothing of new construction. You can t` maintain I -450 miles of _road with $150,000. I would have suggested reducing the I system to 150 miles. The township , roads are in better condition than the county roads. I know of one county , highway that is a disgrace. It is not . the engineer's fault. He does the 1 best he can with. the money he has to - spend, but it is impossible to maintain the present system. , ` Concluding, he said, The road olicy of the Delpartment is this:-- hey will build t e trunk lines, they expect the counties to build the feed- ers and the townships will have to look after their own roads. ' Tiny Without County Road -. C. E. Wright voiced his objection to the proposed plan of the Depart- ment, drawing articular attention a county road.

It also relieved the municipalities of 1
