The government will benefit the whole province by giving the right attention to the roads of the North. At the same time, it will be found that the North will be specially appreciative. The general feeling at the announcement of the programme of roads in the North this year seems to be aptly exâ€" pressed by Mr. Langdon‘s suggestion that the north will be delighted and satisfied. There is just one thing that The Advance would add, and it is respectfully suggested to the government at this time:â€""Don‘t forget roads for the settlersâ€"a vital point in the real development of the North." W. O. Langdon, president of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, last week exâ€" pressed his pleasure at the announcement. "Ii the terms of the announcement are carried out," he said "it will completely satisfy the people of this part of the North." He added that the anâ€" nouncement in effect promised practically all that the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade had be@n urging in recent years. The Advance agrees with Mr. Langdon that the people of the North will be well pleased with a programme such as that outlined in the announcement if it is carâ€" ried out in fair way. It is true that there is room for difference of opinion as to whether any stretches of the highway are "ready for paving.‘ It would be possible to hold any or all stretches as being unready this year for paving. There has been so much neglect of the highway in recent years that it is open to criticism all the way along It would have been more assuring to the public 4 the sections to be paved this year had been defiâ€" nitely named. Perhaps, this will be done later Indeed, the suggestion that a survey is being made of the 534â€"mile stretch from Severn Bridge tc Hearst indicates that the information as to the condition of the various parts of the highway is not yet officially available, and so definite anâ€" nouncement as to the parts to be paved can not be reasonably expected until the survey is comâ€" pleted. It is to be hoped thatfthe survey will be made as speedily as possible, so that actual work may be undertaken as soon as weather and other conditions will permit. In this case, "speed is the essence of the contract."" It makes particular difâ€" ference, for instance, to Timmins at this time, as this town intends to hold its silver jubilee this summer and the condition of the highway will have a vital effect on the success of the celebraâ€" tion. It is for this reason that there has been parâ€" ticulan regret at the neglect of the roads in the last few years With the highway maintained in firstâ€"class condition, a great influx of oldâ€"timers and other visitors might well be expected this sumâ€" mer, with resultant benefit to all concerned. Howâ€" ever, if definite announcement is made in the next month or two of the actual work to be undertaken it will be found that the people of the North will accept the situation in the right spirit and give the fullest credit to the government for the work unâ€" dertaken. If the North has been rather bitterly critical of the government for neglect of the roads of the North, there has been ample justification for such an attitude. It should be noted also, that in suggesting the placing of the roads of the North in proper condition, the North has not been altoâ€" gether sefish. As a matter of fact the South would benefit almost on equal terms with the North from good roads in this country. The value of a good highway to Timmins in the matter of the silver jubilee of this town has been mentioned as an inciâ€" dental matter only. The tourist trade, while of much value, is also incidental. The real virtue of good roads for the North is in the .opening up of the country and the impetus given to the developâ€" ment of the wealth of the North, and in this the South will reap a large share of the advantage. ‘ W’m lt m . sn P t P lt e P lt P Y PA l DP it y There is good news for the North in the new: these days, and the North certainly needs and deâ€" servessuch news,. According to an announcement made in Toronto last week by Hon. T. B. McQuesâ€" ten, Minister of Highways, it is expected that some seven million dollars will be spent this year on roads in the North. Thegreater part of this money will be expended for paving the highway through this part of the North. "All stretches of through highway which are ready for it will be paved thi: year," the announcement says, "and those stretches not in. condltion for concrete will be graded and straig}itéped as far as possible this year for 193f paving."

LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: MONDAY, MARCH 22nd. 1927 Timmins, Ont.. Mond Cbe Adbuanree QBITUAR March 22nd, 1937 The tax rate of Forest hill, near Toronto has been increased eleven mills this year, through the fact that the provincial government has taken over the right to collect income tax. It may be that property owners in Forest Hill will be able to pay the extra taxation thus arising, but it does not appear to be a fair procedure. It may be that provincial collection of income tax is preferable to collection by the individual municipalities, but municipalities already in financial difficulties enough, can scarcely be expected to view with equanimity the filching of their sources of revenue. Whether or the c1 PC in a | of Minc Toronto newspapers are authority for the stateâ€" ment that the Ontario government has given inâ€" structions to the city of Toronto that the tax bills of the city this year must carry the words in bold letters:â€""General tax rate has been reduced one mill by reason of the provincial subsidy to muniâ€" cipalities." Further, it is suggested that the same instructions will be given to all other municipaliâ€" ties. This is so outrageous that it is scarcely beâ€" lievable. It is surely a sad day for municipal govâ€" ernment when tax bills are thus used for political propaganda. If any such instructions are followed by Timmins the town, in fairness should add in bold type the words:â€"‘"The general tax rate this year had to be raised two mills because of the hold up In certain circles, (so say the despatches from London, England) there is serious suggestion that King George VI should grow a beard, like his father King George V. People in the Old Country alâ€" ready are commenting about the striking resemâ€" blance between the present king and the late King George V. A similarity is noted in the eyes, nose, forehead, general shape of the head and the way the hair grows on the head. Some argue that with a beard it would be difficult to distinguish a picture of the present king from one of his illustrious father. Some think that this is an argument against King George VI growing a beard. Others feel that the more the present king resembles the former King George the better for the Empire. It should be remembered, however, that beards do not grow to order, but as they will. Many may recall the case of the Spanish King who attempted to grow a beard, but was induced by his queen to iabandon the mad project-.'
