We do not recollect any previous Easter Monday in the past twenty years, when there were fiftyâ€"one drunks up before a Police Magistrate in Toronto. The conclusion being that prohibition Enl}st be working pretty fine in Toronto reach His Honot If fiftyâ€"one drunks reached the magistrate on this particular Easter Monâ€" day, how many hundreds of drunks were there in that City, who did not It is a well known fact that prohibition breeds secret drinking, and hundreds of men lay drunk, in Toronto, over Easter Sunday, in some room, Or cellar, or barn, or blind pig; and went out sober, when they wakened up, S0 that the magistrate did not get a chance to deal with them at all. â€" Of course, in the eyes drunk on Easter Sunday, or public _cannot see you. It is no harm, it is a penetentia1 MONEY WASTED ON ROADS â€"It is the firm opinion, around the Parliament Buildings, in Toronto, that the Department of Fublic Works has undertasen the maintenance of so. many roads in the Province, tl at it will rot be able to sperd very much money on any one road, and especially that it will be scarcely able to build any permanâ€" ent roads at all. C | _ Thus we see the Department of Public Works making the same mistake as has been made by our township councils, and our county councils, all through the Province, for the past fifty years. The policy of m« been to do their road any permanent roads <io _ biiomennttnant . fopp > o m e C There has been enough money spent in the past fifty years, in each township in the Province of Ontario, in dillyâ€"dally, shillyâ€"shally, hodgeâ€"podge, repair work, to have built pefn;agept‘rqags‘al_l over each toquhip. There was enough money spent on one mile of road, along in front of Crane‘s Brickyards, last year, to have built the same distance of permanent road; and that road that was built last year of water bound macadam, will be, three months from now, in no better condition than the pieces of ‘road im{ mediately east and west of it, and upon which there was not a.dollar spent. If the Department of Public Works would stop its repair gangs, imâ€" mediately, and use the money that it would use in repairing, in building perâ€" manent roads, it would soon have quite a good mileage of permanent roads while the roads that were left without any expenditure of money, would reâ€" main in just about as good condition as if the repair money had been spent upon them. f BIGGS CONDENENED At a large meeting of the United Farmers, at Smithville, last Friday evenâ€" ing, the Hon. F. C. Biggs, was roundly condemned for his road policy. The farmers took a stand that he had taken on so many roads that it was absoluteâ€" ly impossible for him to find sufficient money to properly handle them, and consequently very little or no permanent roads would be built; and the roads would be very little better at the end bf the season than they had been at the beginning. - There has been enough money spent on the highway between Hamilton and the Niagara River, during the past eighteen months, to have built a long stretcl&of permanent road; and there has not been one foot of permanent road built; and the repair work has left the road in no better condition than the Department of Public Works found it in 1919. C North GRIMSBY Township has spent tens of thousands of dollars, in reâ€" pairing its roads in the last fifty years; and there is not a bit of road in The fact that/the men followed him, firing at him, only intensified his fear and it was quite natural that he would run just as long as he was able. When the man in queSTion saw several men spring mand him to stop, his only idea was that they were I the only reasonable thing for a man to doâ€"and that w get away as quickly as possible.

The Government might reply to this, by asking the question "What would become of he roads if they were not repaired during the progress of time when the money was being spent on short pieces of permanent road? The continuous repairing of roads,â€"each Year, has proven to be a most prolific source of wastefulness, and I was in the hope that the Government, esâ€" pecially when it came into the hands of the United Farmers, would get away from that everlasting waste of money on roads, and start in on a new and upâ€" toâ€"date policy of building permanent roads. Had North GRIMSBY Township started in on a policy, thirty years ago, as I advised them to do at that time, of building one mile of permanent road each year, it would now have every road in the Township of a permanent nature; and. with the expenditure of about half the taxes that have been exâ€" pended upon themâ€"and this statement applies to every township in the Province of Ontario. > > ’ North GRIMSBY Township fit to travel over, except a very few miles of permanent roads. / oas Biggs h woman isn‘t necessarily an artist‘s This kind of repair been the wasteful a Penned and Scissored y school boy, a that this kind o intention. in t THE INDEPENDENT.
