I heard re. cently of a Swedish womaw in the North who was in a great state of dismay because the road passing her little farm was impassable: There was nobody to whom she could go with her grievance, As she said, she had written to' the Mayor of Toronto and had got np answer, 80 she had written the Mayor of 'New York, and was h ully looking for w reply! i ly amusing pethsps---superticislly #0; but not so amusing when' we rénlize what is Dagk of that woe man's' ignorance and her need, "And seitlers are, every day.\) making their homes in small groups | or on fargs throughout the exten. | sive unorganized areas!' "And what is the remedy Mr. Harkness?" It gboms that the romedy for that condition In just ons of the little Jobs upon' whieh the Cournell 1s 'dow working in co-operation with the Government, Mr, Harkness' reply was interesting: "The 'yuestion has been raised as to whether a plan may be devised through' which the entire population of New Ontario might be supplied with municipal organisation, By way of {llustras tion, it may be suggested that it yo be possible to divide the of the preset Judiesl Dis- trie of Cochrane into five or six municipal areas, more or less, in} each of which Drogerly qualified sottler-electors would elect annuals iy, or perhaps preferably for long or periods, a Council for the Muni cipal Ares. It may be that con. sideration should be given to the idea of . dividing each Municipal Area into wards, so that the else. tors in each ward might choos the Councillor who would represen such ward in the Counell of the Municipal Area. "Such a system would provide for practionlly every settler, a muni | oipal organisation of which he snd his: family would be a part. If| would provide in every ward, a Councillor whd would take sn im mediate interest In: the conditions needs and problems of his area It would provide, also, in the ward. on a'person who would be re| reses. tative of the entire municipal ares' "Sounds practicable, ~My, Ty ness." The Surveyor and Consultant and Knowledgeable Body beamed upon me, and upon hig vision of an organised North, and explaimed enthusiastioadly: "It's coming---a system. which will maka vocal large sections of the Northern and West- orn parts of the Provinge, and tend to develop a civic consciousness throughout arems which, today, are without any media for municipal expression!'
