The value of good roads in every community was emphasized in the addresses delivered at the luncheon tendered By the city in the' Frontenac Club, on Tuesday, to the members of the Ontario Good Roads' Association. The club provided a fine spread, and a firpt-class service, and the affair was a most enjoyable one. About forty pegple sat down to the lunch- eon. Ald R. E..Kent presided, in the absence of Mayor Hughes; and fol- lowing the luncheon, a number of addresses were delivered. Ald. Kent extended a' warm welcome to the visitors, and' pointed out how good roads helped a community. Auto- mobiles and good roads weredoirg much to-help the trade in cities and towns. C. R. Wheelock, of Orangeville, president of the Ontario Good Roads' Association, replied to the address of welcome, and returned since thanks for the kind hospitality shown the members of the association. He said that after the imspection the mem- bers had the pleasure of making in the morning, and fn spite of the in- clement wéather, he would say that the roads around Kingston compared most favorably to the roads around other cities. He referred to the organization of the Ontario Good Roads' .Associa- tion, in 1894, and pointed out that since the time of, organization, the association had been doing every- thing possible to educat® the people on the benefits to be derived from 8 system of provincial, town, and township roads. The speaker made 'MOUNTAINS IN THE RAIN ¢o the present time, the work was cur- tailed, owing to the war, but after the war, the work would be under- taken on a larger scale. Just at present the work was niore that of Organizing and laying plans for what was to follow after the war. Ile re- marked that in old Ontario there} were at present 50,000 miles of high- way. It could not be expected that all the roads would be put in first- class condition, until the various "ries and towns went into the enter- prise and paid a share of the cost. Mr. McLean announced that King- ston was the first city to offer to co operate with the suburban area scheme (through Mr. IRdankin), and the statement was received with much enthusiasm. W. F. Nickle; M.P., was the last speaker. He said he had been im- pressed with the statement of Mr. Henry, to the effect that the object was to' have good roads in every township, and not merely on the main highways. "This is what we need if we are to get people to stay on the land," added Mr. Nickle. 'We have got to do something to do away with the isolation on the farm. Thé telephone has dop®& much, also the auto, and the good roads will do much more." Among those present outside of the members the Good Roads' Assoc- iation were AT. R. E.
