completing i thl heavily trafficked thoroughfare as an improved county highway with the view of having it assumed finally as a part of the government road system mr george todd led the uxbridge division and said he regretted the fact that there was no representa tive from the uxbridge township council he said that he coldnt con ceive of the county or the govern ment assuming another road west from the town of uxbridge to either aurora or newmarket when the stouffville road remains incom plete nevertheless this is advocat ed in uxbridge town and the north of uxbridge twp george leary and l p evans were present from whitchurch township mr evans pointing out that it would be natural for the rate payers in the north end of his town ship to desire a road running east and west from

delegation felt that the town of uxbridge should give them real support in urging the complet ion of their road but re ported the ratepayers in the north were divided some agitating for a naw road west of that town whitchurch township is only interested in the stouffville road to the extent of two and a half miles from stouffville to lincolnville and farmers residing within the area affected will get behind the scheme by attending the public meeting to be called at goodwood in the not very distant future there was a strong feeling that the stouffville road to uxbridge should be surfaced
