F TROLLABLE Reeve Kemp spoke on the need of. finances to build roads ,stating that the conditions in the County were changing from controllable to unconâ€" trollable finances. The County, he said, is considering building a cheap er type of road. He admitted that the County had no road experience when the road system was adopted and stated that a system estimated to cost $2000,000 had cost $500,000. He stated that the County was conâ€" sidering closing down on road buildâ€" ing, but stated that before loing so the demands of â€"the people for roads must be met, that those who waited must ‘be served. He could not see that Grantham had suffered. Reeve Kemp also referred to the County‘s proportion of the Provincial Highâ€" way cost as near $100,000. Commissioner Burgoyne reminded the Council that the legislation creâ€" ating the Suburban Road Commisâ€" sions originated in the country, being an endeavor to bring the city into paying a share of the roads leading from the country into the cities. Reeve emp asked if the Commisâ€" sion should not designate theivr full area. Reeve Revett asked if had been reached by the a to the type of road build. Commissioner Burgoyne â€" replied that the matter had not been decided but that it was dsirious to build good roads. He stated that the/ city woul@1l not build a poorer type than a conâ€" crete road and that the traffic on many streets was not as ~heavy as the traffic on a suburbanâ€"road. Reeve Reveit contended that the traffic on suburban roads wouldl not warrant concrete and felt that cheap er roads should be built in order that more could be built. Commissioner Moyer held that the relative cost etween a concrate and a tarvia road was not very great and tended to favor the longer lasting con Commissioner Burgoyne replied that there was no ruling‘as to what area should be included. â€" . _ Reeve Mitchell stated that there was a feeling among the people of the county that the city does not pay their full share of the cost of subâ€" urban roads. vincial Hig should pay well as th Commissioner â€"Burgoyne replying to a question, said that he underâ€" stood that within a suburban 23aze on the Provincial Highway the city would contribute 20 per cent. and the County ai equal amount but there St. and the Merrittville and Pelham roads. He stated that the ratepayâ€" ers would appreciate a ‘better standâ€" ard of maintenance and not such per manent roads. The lower end of Niagara Street, be concluded, is near ly impassable. This statement led to replies from Reeves Garlett, uBsh and Mitchell, that Grantham had been fairly well taken care of in road building, 9>I\1d that Caistor, for instance, was in "‘a much worse shape as far as roads were concerned. s Commissioner Trapnell and Comâ€" missioner Moyer extended their conâ€" gratulations to the Warden elett and the latter expressed the opinion that the question today was whether the Commission could continue the high standard of highways commenced, whether they would have to stop and recuperate financially or to isue deâ€" bentures. 2 (Continued from page 1) Revett, speaking of th lighway, felt that the ay some share in its < the County.

NOTICE is hereby given that the Municipal Corporation of the Village of Grimsby will, after three months from the date hereof, apply to the Ontario Railway & Municipal Board, under Sectionâ€"20, of the Municipal Act for an Order and Declaration erecting the Municipal Corporation of the Village of Grimsby into the ‘"Municipal Corporation of the Town of Grimsby", having three Wards, numbered One, Two and Three. Number One Warda consisting of all that portion of the Municipal Corâ€" poration. of the Village of Grimsby. lying North of the Northerly limit of the Grand Trunk Railway Company‘s rightâ€"ofâ€"way lands in the said Village of Grimsby. 4 Number Two Ward consisting of all that portion of the said Muncipal Corporation of the Village of Grimsby bounded on the North by the Northerâ€" ly limit of the rightâ€"ofâ€"way lands of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, on the South by the Northerly limit of Livingston Avenue and the Northâ€" orly limit of Main Street from â€" Livâ€" ingston Avenue to the Easterly limit of the said Village Corporation. Number Three Ward consisting of that portion of the said Village lying South of the Northerly limit of Livâ€" ingston Avenue aforesaid and of the Northerly dlimit of Main Street beâ€" tween Livingston Avenue and the Easterly limit of the said Village aforesaid. The Ontario Railway And Municipal Board John Lampman, a former. county Road Superintendent, was asked by Warden Lane his opinion of a narâ€" rower road than previously conâ€" Mr..Freure stated. that he was aware that the Council were conâ€" sidering building a cheaper road than in the past and stated that the Township would be satisfied with such a type of road. The road reâ€" quested would give an outlet for the southern portion of ~the Township, the people in this section being 12 miles from a County good road. Mr. Freure stated that a deputation had waited upon the Welland County Council in the morning and he felt confident that the body would build the road from Wellandport to Forks which would with the portion reâ€" quested from Lincoln County, conâ€" nect the two Provincial Highways, the Q. and G. and the Fork â€" roads. The length of the requested road was given as five miles. § Mr. Cowan stated that the only thing the Gainsborough residents were ashamed of was the roads. There are outlets from the north and south, he said, but the middle portion goes nowhere from fall to the 24th of May ‘because they cannot get out. It is the only connecting link to the Provincial Highway from . Welland to Cayvuga. 3 R. P. Barrick, Deputy <~Reeve of Wainfleet, expressed confidence that the Welland County Council would build the road from Wentworth to Forks. Each of the said Wards has a popuâ€" lation of five hundred or more and the area of the said Municipal Corâ€" poration is five ‘hundred and thirtyâ€" four acres. A Municipal census taken on the first day of September, 1920, shows a resident population of twoâ€"thousand and eightyâ€"two persons. Dated at Grimsby this 17th day of January, 1921. _ m noon was from the "People who are stuck in the mud in the centre of Gainsborough." S. W. Freure, Clerk of the Municipality, headed the depu tation, the largest of the many \yhich waited upon the Council. Theé reâ€" quest was that the portion of the road from St. Anns to Wellandport be completed this year. On resolution of Councillors Bush and Culp the request was referred to the Road Committee. TB § St. Annsâ€"Wellandport The second request of â€"the. afterâ€" noon was from the "People who are stuck in the mud in the centre of Reeve Welstead, Chairman of the Roads Committee, asked the â€" differâ€" ence in length of the road which . it was requested be included in the system over the portion not to be used. The reply was about oneâ€" quarter mile and that only grading had been done on the latter road. . Reeve Welstead asked the distance of the Stone Road to Moore‘s Cornâ€" ers. The distance was given. as three miles. curb instead of only 20 feet© with ditches. The first deputation heard was the one which had travelled the farthest, Caistor. Headed by Mr. McDonald this deputation requested a fair deal for their township in the matter . of roads. They requested the Stone Road to ‘be extended to ‘"‘Moore‘s Corners". The condition of the road (was sald to ‘be deplorable, so bad that the| speaker impressed upon the Council that it was a serious matter or the deputation w uld not have made the trip to the city. The improving of this road will give an outlet from the municipality. It was also requested that the County Road System be changed easterly to run from Abingâ€" don to Fulton, that it might benefit a larger number of the residents of the township. was an indefiniteness as to the subâ€" urban zone. The conference then concluded, the Commission to meet the Council at a later date. Thursday was deputation day at the session of the County Council and that body was practically besiegâ€" ed with requests for improved roads. The townships represented were: Caistor, Gainsborough, Clinton and Louth, all : seeking road improveâ€" ments and the majority of the reâ€" quests being for a short mileage to connect with main highways. A 4s« putation was also present from the City Council asking coâ€"operation in having the Proviucial Highway froim the city limits to the end of Victoria Lawn Cemetery made 30 feet with H. H. MARSH, Reeve W. B. RUSS, Clerk. THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIO feet feet Muncipal Grimsby Northerâ€" lands of with with From Louth The deputation from Louth â€"reâ€" ported the condition of the mounâ€" tain on the road system from Pelham to Peachland and Port Dalhousie, to be in a dangerous condition. The re mainder of the road, it was said, was improved but the mountain was not touched. The work required was stated to be about 100 rods. The request was referred to the Roads Committee on motion â€" of Reeves Fry and Gregory. City to Cemetery Mayor Lovelace headed a deputaâ€" tion from the City Council in regard to having trae Provincial Highway from the city limits to the end of Victoria Lawn Cemetery made 30 feet wide with curb instead of the regular 20â€"foot width with ditches. ‘"‘The Mayor felt that it would be unâ€" wise to leave open gutters on this stretch of road, as it would be the most densely travelled of the: whole system. The cost, he said, would, be divided ‘between the Township, City County and the property owners whose property abuts on the highâ€" way. The Mayor advised â€" the Counâ€" \ cil that the property owners were willing to pay their share, a petition having been signed for the greater width by . 41 of the 47 residents. City Enginger Near presented an estimate of tlie difference in the cost of the wider pavement with curbs. He pointed out that the City would have to pay 20 per cent. of the cost of the highway in the suburban zone While this zone has as yet not been designated, he felt certain that it would include at least that portion of the road mentioned. The extr> cost, he said, would be $9,000 for the Province, $16,700 for the city, $9,000 for the county, and $9,358% for the property owners. He presented â€"the following table of percentage of cost and amount for both 20 and 30â€"foot pavements: TrovInce ........ o...0 OV _ 4V Cffty ‘;..:53.;..%..+.... B0 20 County ... .;.:. ... .:.

Ald. F®. C. Graves requested the Council to appoint one member from their number who with the County cil, to figure out the division of exâ€" penditures in the moneys expended by the Commission thus f@r and the policy to ‘be adopnted for the future. Treasurer will meet with Mr. Trapâ€" nell., the independent member of the Suburban Roads Commission, and 2 like committee from the City Counâ€" Frovince City ..:.>. County . Property Township Ald. Graves also requested that the County go into the matter of enâ€" largement to the Industrial Home, that the city wes quite prepared to Pay what was right.. The more homes .he said, the more overhead expense. Finance Chairman Kemp, Reeve of Clinton, stated that he did not beâ€" lieve that any of the members of the deutations were more anxious to see the roads built than the members of the Council. He referred to the deâ€" bentures debt of the County of $840,â€" 000 and the fact that another $100,â€" 000 would be added as the County‘s portion of the Provincial Highway. Last year, he said, the County raised $200,000, this year if we levy the same rate there will be only about $20,000 of loose money to go ahead with, providing the ordinary expenses of the County remain the same. Any roads he said must be built on iborâ€" rowed money and when the interest charge is nearly 7 per cent. it is a question whether we should carry on with the work while the money market is in its present condition. He recognized the fact that the work must ‘be done but hoped that the deâ€" putations would take the situation into their consideration. In reply Mr. Moyer expressed the opinion that the ratepayers would prefer to have the roads now. On resolution of Reeves Kemp and Culp the request was referred to the Road committee From Clinton § 4 From Clinton came a request that nI the County coâ€"operate with the Town put ship in improving the west part of jou the Fly Road from Campden to the wa Stone Quarry. The agreement would ' be for the County to stone about % | Imj of a mile from the Quarry to the Fly road and the Township tb improve 7 the ‘balance of the road. This road,| day it was said, would give a way out to | _ the Provincial Highway. Mr. Christ| â€"â€"~ ian led the deputation and was folâ€" lowed by Mr. Wismer and Mr. D. H. Moyer. It was pointed dut to ‘the. Council that unless this road was completed there would be a blind end to the County road system, that the small portion of road requested improved by the County was in the system. Ald.
