All sorts of nice things were said of Warden Lambert, congratulations being heaped on his head, from every side. Mayor Sullivan and Editor Bell came down from Stayner to express the gratitude of the citi- zens to the county council for hav- ing chosen Mr. Lambert and to assure them they had made no mistake. It goes without saying that the town band and entire cit- izenry will be out Saturday night when the new warden returns to I his home town.

The county should be proud of the fact, he said, that these two men were outstanding among all men in the public life of the country -as exponents of this great work. Judge Wis~1ner was particu- larly eulogistic of the program now being carried out by Hon. Wm. Fin- layson in his reforestation scheme in the Trent Valley and in North Simcoe and the transfer of families to more arable land. These `schemes, he said, deserved the very hearty support of the councillors as in- dividuals andvas a council.

Good roads meant more autos, and After congratulating Warden Lambert on being elected chief among his peers and bespeaking for His Worship whole-hearted support of every member of the Council, His Honor said the ques- tion of good roads was 'becoming a very serious one. It was so great that it was difficult to keep up with the expen`diture--hard to know where to draw the line. more autos meant more accidents, and increasing difficulties. A very! high standard was indeed being` set in the matter of good roads that must continue for years to come to be a very serious drain on the public purse. His Honor said he understood the additional sum of $50,000 would be required this year for provincial highways in,: Simcoe over a year. ago.
