HANDICAP TO TOWNS! ICOUNTY councu. IS REQUESTED , T0 RECONSlDER| |Ori11ia Board of Trade ~ Sends Out Letters Re ' Snowplowing. The Council of the Orillia Board of Trade has addressed the following appeal for reconsideration to the members of the County Council. The majority of the replies so far receiv- ed have been favorable, reports the Packet and Times. - -uv.-v.. ---.. ______s. We venture to approach you in connection with the resolution passed at the recent session of the County Council, asking the Department of Highways not to snowplow Highway No. 11 within the boundaries of the County of Simcoe. nu g, ,.- Majority of Replies Are Reported, So Far, as Favorable. v_...., v_ ..____-- We feel that, in passing this re- solution, the County Council did so without having before them the very vital importance to the towns of Or- illia and Barrie, of keeping the High- way open, particularly to their indus- trial establishments. If this had been realized we feel sure the Council would have hesitated to place the present industries under severe handicap, and to render it difficult for these towns to get new industries. I11- .....A......a~.....-I Pu.-I-inn-.~ I-kn! 4-loom: DU 550 LIUVV LAAu.uuuLAwu We understand further that there was an impression that the cost of snowplowing is greater than is actual- ly the case. Mr. Strathdee, of the Strathdee Transportation Company, informs us he has made an offer to the Department of Highways to keep the Highway open from Bradford to Orillia for $45 a day. For the period covered by the County Council resolu- tion this would amount to only $2,700, and for 100 days the cost would be only $4,500. The County s share is only 20 per cent. of this. We submit that the modern trend of transportation will be certain to result in the chief highways being kept open, and that the course taken by the County Council can only re- sult in delay, irritation and loss. It is now impossible to bring the question before the County Council in time for action this season. For this reason, we venture to ask if, in view of the facts we have set before `you, you could not see your way to reconsider the position you took in ;common with your fellow members. |We enclose a petition to the Depart- I [prepared for circulation by Boards of Trade of Orillia and Barrie, and if you could see your way to endorsing it, your signature would greatly strengthen the movement, and would be esteemed a great favor. We make this appeal because we are satised that, with all the facts before them, the Council would not have passed a resolution which will adversely affect such large interests. Most municipal- ities in Simcoe are not affected, but to Orillia and Barrie the matter is one of the first importance. Tu. Ann.-...1un;ua `ln4- un nnniiovn vn-us ment of Highways, which has been 1 as vanv u.uv anaarasaa usunnvvu In conclusion, let us assure you that your kind consideration in this matter will be very highly esteemed by the towns of Orillia and Barrie, both of which contribute so largely to the revenues of the County Council` that the small sum involved should not, we feel, be allowed to stand in the way of meeting their wishes in a matter so vital to` them. V l WHO LL BE WARDEN? Until the municipal elections are held the list of candidates for the wardenship will be necessarily incom- plete. The name most prominently mentioned in connection with the of- ce is Reeve J. F. Hambly of West Gwillimbury. Reeve Jno. Carlton of Beeton also has his eyes on the job, it is said.
