interest to the ratepayers of the township with the ex ception of two or three of the thirty present at the meeting on monday evening all either would not commit themselves or were in out and out opposition to the good roads scheme one man in the audience expressed himself very strongly on the matter af ter hearing the scheme outlined by messrs laidlaw mclean and henry he still feared that ruin would follow in the wake of the adoption of the scheme and cited the york highways commission as a bad example of county good roads commissions he said that tthese men messrs laidlaw mclean and henry had come to force the scheme on the town ship reeve wagg chairman of the meeting endeavoured to get an expression of opinion on the flat ter but only succeeded in getting three to favor- it and three to vote against it there seemed to be a suspicion openly expres sed by some that the men advo cating the adoption of the good roads plan were trying to force it upon them uxbridgeis the first township in the county of ontario that so far has not been whole heart- edly in favor of road improve ment as outlined under the ont ario highways act with this exception wherever meetings have been keen interest has been shown and every meeting has formed a branch of the good roads association of the county and passed the following motion viz that i the objects of the association shall be to further the improvement and maintenan ce of all public roads in the dis trict and in the county of onta rio and to do all things which will assist in toe carrying cut of the objects of the association that the branch shall have a chairman vicechairman sccy- treasurcr and directors who shall be elected at this meeting and hold ovfice for one year from the date of their election or un til their successors have been el ected the chairman shall preside at all meetings and direct the pro ceedings thereof according to parlimcntary rules he shall have general supervision of the work of the branch and call meet ings from time to time for the consideration and transaction of any business thas may be brought before them in his absence the vice chairman shall preside and perform any and all the duties pertaining to the office of chair man the scjcytreas shall keep a record of minutes conduct cor respondence receive and deposit in some chartered bank all the funds of the branch and perform other duties assigned him mr laidlaw the first speaker introduced the good roads scheme explaining how the move ment in ontario county got its start he briefly outlined the plan and expressed his relief that the abundance of gravel and easy drainage would make the cost light of what use he said arc the telephone and daily paper if the roads are not available the people he said should rise to their responsibility in this mat ter so closely related to the so cial and economic life of the com munity v mr mclean stated that twenty three out of thirtyseven counties in ontario have adopted thejgj good roads scheme ontario he said had got started but had turned back he expected it to be among the first and not one of the last to get in linft a com- mon misconception he said had got abroad that the scheme in eluded all of the roads whereas the act included only about fif teen per cent this improvement will accomodate about eighty per cent of the traffic the roads to be assumed by the county arc those leading from towns and shipping points in making the roads it is intended to use the wageearners with the revival of indus trial activity throughout the fac tories of canada
