Bs 4 ObAAA otttunnu The government, with all its machinery, is not able to build a macadam stone road that will stand up under heavy automobile\yand . iPractically every dollar of government money spent in the County of Lincoln, for macadam roads, on the main travelled thorâ€" oughfares, was wasted money, as the new macadam road is now in as bad condition as the old one was six months or a yvear ago, when the new work was commenced The fiftyâ€"nine miles of macadam road is money thrown away, except in rare cases in country districts where there is little or no automobfle or truck traffic. The report gives 185%%4 miles of graded road ; 349 miles of gravâ€" elled road; 593 miles of macadam road ; 50 miles of base coarse macadam, and ONE solitary mile of concrete pavement. we ue ow e w owk h ow k k o# o# iThe money spent on the gravelled roads may be well enough spent if the gravel was.not thrown on a foot deep, as is sometimes done, and threeâ€"quarters of it eventually wasted by being thrown into the ditches, instead of being retained on the roadbed. : __For this tremendous expenditure the province has only got seven and oneâ€"half miles of permanent road. It is only an experiment, as the bituminous pavement has never been tried out in Canada before. Where Did the Money Go? The Ontario Department of Public Works and Highways has issued its report showing an expenditure on good (?) roads in Onâ€" tario, during the year, of over six millions of dollars.

The Minister of Public Works and Highways cannot prevent it because he does not know anything about road building, and his only aim in life seems to be to get his name into the newspapers in a long, bombastic harangue about what the government has done, or is going to do. Premier Drury stands for this because he does not betterâ€"the man was pitchforked into a position for wh not prepared, and it will be many dadys before he is big his clothes. Not only in the matter of ditches has the Public Highways Deâ€" partment been criminally negligent, but in the matter of construction of the road itself, they have shown an utter disregard for the lives and property of the people of ‘this province. Great truckloads of stone have been dumped right in the roadway and left there during a period of weeks and even months." R sz What is the need of open ditches along the high curves and approaching bad hills? Yet at these points ernment highway there are ditches on both sides of the seven feet deep. © It is a wonder to me that the Deputy Highways has not been arrested for manslaughter long Even although the motorists are moé mobiles are better builtâ€"but the 'governn;n danger an hundredfold, and consequently the accordinelyv. +. as Oil, water, ice and snow are boun of cars to skid, and that meants a ce wiho travel over the road are bound t« or seven feet deep, at one time or an oreve â€" The accidents to the travelling publi they were previous to the wovernment Even on.the The no master mind behind the istetuiness, the utter drsregard for the public, and the e in which the road between Vineland and Beamsville r the past year, was rotten ; but it was one hundred fold conditions now are between GRIMSBY and Winona. y enough for the Department to secure a en if they had to pay a big price for him ; to do thatâ€"as the merest chump has only roads under construction to see at a glance is because he does not know any into a position for which he mwas y days before he is big enough for ‘, should know, butâ€"does notâ€"beâ€" d in his life and is now too old to work nd to cause a certain percentage cTtain percentage of all persons 0 land in a ditch three, four, six nother, it these points on the govâ€" _are ten times as great now takins control of the roads re careful, and the autoâ€" nment ihas increased the the accidents are fncreased sides of the road up to the Deputy Minister of the highway, around ere this o (e (©) (€) (©) (€) (©) (© @© ©@ @ (©) O (€) (©) O $ (©) (©) (e) (©) (© (©) (©) & (e (©) (© (©) (©) (€) (@©) (€) ¢ o © (e C (e) C (o (e In other counties the work has been bungled, as take for instance the county of Lincolnâ€"but in the very ‘worst cases of bungling on the county roads systems, they are far ahead of the bungling and waste on the government highways. e Many counties are working on good roads this provinceâ€"in many of them and, in fact, in a splendid work has been done and the roads ha reasonable expense. useless, ignorant and incompetent aggregation of men control of the road systems. : Kubbers of all kinds, Mitts, Caps, Socks and Hosiery, Overalls, Smocks and Shirts, at lowest®possible prices. . _ coughs and colds Currants.
