A meeting of the ratepayers of Tossorontio was held, in the Orange hall here on Saturday, Feb. 10th, for the purpose of discussing local road improvements. Irwin, township clerk, informed the people that the meeting had been called as a result of a motion passed on last nomination day. Mr. Moore, the reeve, was ap- pointed chairman. He thought that an improyement could be made on the statute labor system, but to abolish it there were -many ditculties in the way. Mr. R. Murphv,*county com- missioner, theught that some change should be made._ He was of the opinion that better roads are necessary to secure them we must see that better work is done. Mr. George McGirr thought that our township was not in a condition ` nancially to make any great change A number of other speakerswere called,` among them Mr. T. Smith. of Rosemont. He was a "strong advocate of better roads. After a considerable time it was moved by Mr.` McGirr and seconded by Mr. Grlmcur that we are unable to secure the wording of either the motion or of an amendment moved by Mr. Murphy and seconded by Mr, Clark. The `amendment, however, was carried.
