"Dave‘‘ hopes that he will meet the executive of the Ontario Government during the comâ€" ing election, and express his views reâ€" garding the roads in wet weather." From this item it would appear that the road from Kapuskasing to Cochâ€" rane is considered in bad shape in wet weather. Perhaps, that is not to be wondsred at in connection with a new road just completed through new counâ€" try.
