Provincial Road Commissioner Hon J Davie Commissioner of Crown Lauds was also present and through the courtesy of the Convention Committee wo are enabled to print a vorbatim re port of his address as follows J Davis on being called upon said Chairman and I am extremely to be present bom this morning for a variety of reasons In first I desire to kindly words of my good friend Mr Chairman We had pleasure of being associat ed together as members of the Legis lature for some It is quite true wo did not always agree in our views on public questions Good men differ very often and each has a right to his own view but we always did agree to treat other as gentle men ought I am glad to ho bore also because this room it is not perhaps important to you brings back to my mind memories of past Nearly twenty yoare ago I had the honor of having for fust time a seat in the County Council A later members did me the too great honor of electing me Warden of County Borne gentlemen at that time who were fond of going buck through records said that I was the youngest man ever elected to that position in this County I have ways felt that I a great- deal to the County of York for the opportunity I had there of becoming familiar with the requirements of the people of a great Cot as itis I have often this information to be of great value to me in later years a a mem ber of the Legislature Gentlemen from other Counties will pardon me when I say that the County of York is the greatest County in Province and especially the northern part which is the greatest part of the greatest County Laughter and applause To bear out that statement your re cords wilt some indication of its truthfulness The present Warden of the County is from North York I see that he has taken a good of interest inaugurating this Convention The Clerk of the County who is act ing ae Secretary for this Convention is also fro North York and was one of my friends lor many years The tirst gentleman noticed this morning occupying an was ray good friend Mr also is one of the County Councillors from North York You are here from all pats of the Province for the purpose of a question which in the judgment of many men more competent to judge than is one the most matters we have before us in public affairs today the question of good roads It ia only what you are all familiar with and it ought to be repeated from the press and fought out and considered carefully by the ratepayers in the Province that transportation in all its forma is to day one of the great problems of the age The farmer in this Province must compete with the farmer in every part of the world and the far mer who is so situated that from bis barndoor to the marketo of the world he has the best and cheapest facilities for handling his products will cme out best in the competition of the day Millions of money are being spent in deepening and extending our canals and building railways perhaps finest in the world and while that is all necessary to reduce freight rates there is another feature and that is the oneinwhich you are specially in terested here today getting the roads from farmers doors to the local markets in as good snaps as possible to get yourproduots easily to market It is not only a question of good thore should he good roads throughout Province in order that the milk can lo taken readily and easily from doors to the factories wherever located Our butter factories just beginning They also will good roads for the object Our butter exports this year have grown very very much There are other things which will come up in the future in which we are very much interested In the United States the Post Department for the last ibveo or has been experiments see whether they could have a local postal delivery by wagons to farmers doors once or twice a day result has been wonderfully satisfactory so much po that each succeeding year they have the area over which this now postal delivery is inaugurated They find that they have boon able to give a local postal delivery to the farmers door for less money than it under the old system I that time is coming perhaps is not very far in the future when in our own land if our country roads improved and made good rnada year round the Department will bo able to no the for the farmers here These are only a few of the things which show us tho very important part which good roads will play in years to come Tho question is how are we to have these good roads what is best plan to lay down and carry out in order to get the fruit or results of the better system of roads If I were to tell you that I would spoil balance of your meeting because that is what meeting is called to decide Laughter I not tell you what the best plan is You will make re commendations in your resolutions showing your judgment your experi ence your knowledge on this question are two or three general features on which I might- say a word or two One is expenditure of money on roads Now I think that in any movennn that is inaugurated for the improvement of roads there should be a very careful and wise consideration as to the expenditure of money I do not believe the people speak ing now for the messes of the people- will be very much in love with a scheme which wiil mean largely in- creased taxation I believe it is pos that the Good Roads Commis sioner Mr Campbell could give you the figures can speak a word with reference to here without being considered political at all his is not political but for the good of alt the people of the Province I believe there are no differences of opinion as to the results which have been during the time he has acted in that capacity I was fortun ate enough to get him to visit several meetings in North York At the con clusion of every meeting there were resolutions moved and seconded ex pressing appreciation of his efforts of his advice and the suggestions he had made and the Conservatives and Liberals vied with each other in mak ing these resolutions Therefore I say without any political aspect whatever that Mr Campbells general principle upon that line it to me is a good one to follow in your in connection with this gathering which not an in expenditure of money but a careful use the money that is already expended Enormous suras of money are being expended each year on the road in this Province The Btatute labor and cash grants are That money and labor might be ex pended in better channels with more- permanent results and without in creasing expenditure we might have a very more effective sys consider the law of the situation and when you ask for legislation it will he of such a and prudent character that will have reasonable grounds for expecting the Legislature to grant it I have seen bills come into the Ontario Legislature from both sides of House which after being exam ined ten minutes by members of a Committee were unanimously thrown out because who originated had only looked at side In legislation if it is I hope you I will bear this in mind and I know j you will 1 say nothing further only thte on behalf of Premier of J Province who asked to come down and I came on my own accord We start our Sale with Spcci 1 a is well on behalf of the whole govern- of the Province I must express to yon our appreciation of the efforts you have put forth in the past many j of you in connection with good roads and your efforts now at this meeting and say that anything we can proper ly do in the of all the pie of the Province to aid you in this work we prepared to do I am glad to be with you Ibis inc You have a great work in hand a work which if successfully carried out much for the people of Province and hope you will success fully engineer your work and that
