People are only now beginning to realize the im- portance of transportation. Our 40, 000 miles of Township roads must be developed. Policy Unchanged "In this regard we adopted a de- finite policy in the fall of 1919 and have not deviated from it to any ap- preciable extent since. We will con- tinue along this line until we are voted out. The only changes that have been made in our plans are those necessitated by growth of trans- portation in certain districts. "In view of the fact that Mr. Clifford has said that Oshawa sends millions of dollars annually to the government in custom returns, I might point out that this revenue ; has gone to Ottawa and once the money is received there 'we have little chance of getting it back. (laughter) Mr. Clifford can do a good work at Ottawa, seeing his party is in power, and when the mat- ter comes up in the House it be- hoves him to put his shoulder to the wheel and help. Good Drainage--Essentinl "We are endeavoring to develop a standard of road construction Not so far as surfaces are concerned because that is impossible, The chief problem is that of proper drain- age. We have received much criti- cism of ditches that have been dug. But I want to tell you that if the County and Township councils had built proper drainage syste' that the surface of their roads would be in much hetter condition today. Cor: rect drainage is the great essential, in road construction. "This year my department has laid 120 miles of hard surface road, erect- ed 1,400 culverts, 25 bridges, 2 sub- ways, and laid 500 miles of other types of pavement. Every bridge, etc., will he completed by mext fall. Every mile of the 1,800 miles de- signated in our program will have a surface of gravel, '""The department carries on its work under the direction of the Minister, his deputy, and three dis- trict engineers, who have jurisdic- tion over East, West and Central On- tario, respectively. These district en- gineers have in turn under them 10 divisional engineers. Under the divisional engineers are the foreman. The department is so organized that all work is carried out under expert supervision. If an accident occurred at any point, one hour after I would have the particulars of the affair in my office. Permanent Roads "To my mind the roads that we have laid are permanent, that is at least from 60 to 70 per cent of them. At any rate after the 'people have once experienced the pleasure of us- ing 'a good road they will never al- low any government to let it deter- pace with this traffic road makers! have to step, and step fast, to keep pace." Condemns speed Fiends | . Then referring to Township re-| ports Mr. Biggs said: "We are re-| ceiving wonderful reports from the engineers of a revived interest in, these roads. Now I think that a speed limit of 25 miles an hour with | a reasonable latitude say, of 5 miles! an hour is fast enough for a motor! car to travel on the provincial roads, | for the good reason that for every mile an hour that a car is driven in| excess of 25 miles an hour the cost | of maintehance of roads is doubled. | I think that in this age of speed that 30 miles an hour is fast enough. Heavy Truck Problem "Another problem we have to con- tend with, is the truck with a capa- city of five tons or over. Less than one per cent of the trucks on the roads have a capacity of over § Are we justified in spending from $5,000 to $10,000 per mile to | build roads that will handle this traffic?" A chorus of No's was the response | of the audience. | Proceeding Mr. Biggs said: *"Fur- ther, during the season. of the year when the frost is coming out of the ground I would close the roads to truck traffic altogether. We must face this problem to protect our in- vestments." Mr. Biggs then went on on detours treating the matter in both a practical and at the same time humorous vein. The account of this is contained in another column, Other Just Claims In conclusion Mr. Biggs [stated that he knew that the citizens of this district insofar as roads were con- cerned merely wanted to receive their fair share. He pointed out that other sections of the province must be considered as well. "They | are all taxpayers and have just] claims," said Mr. Biggs as he took | his seat. | A storm of applause which lasted | several minutes matked the elosing | of the address. | Deputy Minister Talks there are 260,000. In order to keep | to talk | W. A. McLean, Deputy Minister |™ of Public Works, was the next speak- er. In a brief address he endeavor- | ed to defend the department from | the blame which some desired to attach to it for the destruction of! trees. "Quite often," said Mr. Mc- Lean, "farmers have chopped down! the trees when they see road de- velopment work proceeding and the department is held responsible." Then referring to the danger spot at! Tooley's Mill, Mr. McLean stated that the department had hopes of eradicating this danger spot in the near future. { iorate and get out of repair. Provincial (Continued from page 1) is recognized as one of the most brilliant and most humorous speak- ers in the Dominion. He gave one of his characteristic speeches in whieh he managed to sustain interest to the end. In fact the audience never seemed to tire of him. In his talk Dr. Doolittle touched many matters of vital Yinterest to Oshawa, chief among which was the inade- quate hotel accommodation of the Town. Commencing his speech Dr. Doo- little claimed the distinction of being the first Canadian who had ever ridden a bicycle up the hill at High- land Creek. He also told of his early efforts when a bicycle enthu- siast to procure better roads for the province. He had erected the first mile posts between Whithy and To- ronto. "Many can not see how the program that has been laid out by the Minister of Public Works can he carried out," saud. Dr. Doolittle. "But how many of you," he 'went on, "would have believed if told three years ago that 1800 miles of roadway would be under construc- tion in 1922?" Dr. Doolittle said that this fact merely emphasized that a lot of things that are thought impossible are possible in reality. (Detroit of Canada) "There is nothing to hinder Osh- awa from becoming the Detroit of Canada, as Oshawa is the center of the automobile industry in Canada and the best machines in the world are made in the Dominion," said Dr. Doolittle. (Trans-Canada Highway) Then referring to the French- Canadians of Quebec the speaker said: "We'll know them better as good roads are developed. Thanks to the advent of the automobile and good roads a Trans-Canada highway is now possible. One mile of good roadway will do more to cement the friendship of the two provinces than anything else. Now, Mr. Biggs, if he so chooses, can build the finest roadways in the world. This year American tourists spent over 100 millions of dollars in Canada and 1 prophesy that the time will come when these tourists will spend five millions of dollars here annually. But we must have good roads as an inducement to get them to come here. In the mext five years I hope to see a ribbon of road from Toronto to Montreal. We should advertise the fact to our neighbours to the south. And, when this tourist traf- _fic develops, you will be compelled to build more good roads. Trade resulting from tourist traf- fic is greater than that accruing from our industries, in some re- spects. Take Switzerland for in- stance. We have even better pleas- ure grounds than are afforded there. We have the ground and the enter- prise let's go to it," he concluded. | wincial F nity F. L. Fowke, ex-M.P., was called upon by Mayor Stacey, toastmaster, to respond to the toast to Interpro- vinecial Fraternity. "The two pro- yinces have generally understood "These various enterprises have always brought blessings in their wake. It has opened an economic era in Canada. Not only do good |roads benefit the tourist but every section of society. And the farmers are the last ones who should voice their criticism of expenditures on good roads. I hope that the time will come when you will be able to come in time he stated. Mr. Widdifield, M. P. P., North Ontario, also spoke briefly. He paid a tribute to Hon. Mr. Biggs and his deputy W. A. MecLean, saying that they had done much to annihilate distance. L. O. Clifford, M. P., South Ontario, gave a brief talk em~ phasizing the importance of a har- hor for Oshawa.
