This simply means that the authority which is responâ€" sible for the maintenance of the road shall be responsible for the cutting of the weeds on the road. The cost of cutting the weeds is to be considered as part of the cost of road maintenâ€" ance, and may be included on the porâ€" tion on which the Governmena pays a grant under the Highway Improveâ€" ment Act. This appears to be the most simple and inexpensive mannerâ€" in which this very important work can be done, and I trust it will have the hearty support of all municipalities. you will oberve that the Government grant for road maintenance may be withheld where the weeds are not properly cut."

Early in the summer the department proposes to call a conferâ€" ence of these inspectors, with a view to familiarizing them ‘ with one anâ€" other‘s work, and with conditions, genâ€" erally, throughout the Province.
