Futher the counâ€" ty is equipped with all the latest road machinery, which is an important eleâ€" ment in reaching this standard. $98,000 For Toll Roads. The county of Wentworth was one of the first counties in the Province to establish a county road system, and it has at present under its control about 200 miles of highways. At one period in the history of this county seventyâ€"five per cent. of the roads were privately owned. But in 1902 all these toll roads were absorbed by the county from the private concerns for Anyone who has travelled imuch over the highways in the different counties of Ontario, will not hesitate in saying that the roads in Wentworth County, under the Good Roads system are far short of being equalled in any other part of the Province. This fact may be better realized when it is known that since 1912 this county alone has spent nearly one million dollars on the imnrnvemant Notice to Creditors Live Organization Keeps the County Highways of Travel in Good Shape, Considering the Enormous Increase in Moror and Other Traffic This Year.

Employ Skilled Labor. Wentworth county employs nothing but skilled labor on its Bridge and Building Department. "All our carâ€" penters and concrete men," stated Warden Biggs is a very ardent adâ€" vocate of good roads, and it is much to his credit that the roads in Went: worth county are receiving such good attention this year.

At the end of two weeks twelve of these sheets are turned in to the County clerk, who then makes a distribution sheet which, after beâ€" ing signed by the Road Superintendâ€" ent and Warden, issues _ a cheque for the whole amount, of all time books. to the Superintendent. The men are then paid every two weeks by the Road Supervisor, who in turn issues cheques to each foreman for the amount in his time book, and who then pays his men and takes their signatures in the book. One Mile Costs $6,400. Asked as to the cost of constructâ€" ing a mile of road in the county, Mr. Vance stated it varied acording to the conditions. _ "On an average our roads cost from $6,400 to $7,000 per mile for a wateibound macadam type with an oil surface," he stated.

Is the Hub of Traffic. Probably no other county is so cenâ€" trally located by which it receives the bulk of traffic, than Wentworth counâ€" 'ty. It is at the city of Hamilton, sitâ€" uated on Burlington Beach, that the | traffic converges to connect with the | main arteries. Motor traffic over the highwa cadam, vrallic Cconverges to connect with the main arteries. Motor traffic over the Torontoâ€"Hamilton highway from eastâ€" ern Ontario to London and Windsor or to Niagara Fally must pass through the County of Wentworth. Three branches of the Ontario Provincial highway radiate from the City of Hamâ€" ilton; one to London and Windsor; another to Niagara Falls and Buffalo, and the third to Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. It is not too much to say that this county may have the distincâ€" tion of claiming the "hub of traffic‘" in the Dominion. The Suburban Commission which is under the jurigdiction of the County Council, are expending about $50,000 this year on about six different roads, for a distance of five to seven miles from the City of Hamilton.~On this improvement the Department of Highâ€" ways repay the county forty per cent. of the expenditure. uitlion sSuouid ter hundreds in the counti for maintenan and not for c "These open : back to pros W ginning last spriug and all this sumâ€" mer we have been expending thousâ€" ands of dollars on the repair of those roads which were so badly injured.
