The South Porcupine road is to be done at provincial expense. Twenty-six New Bridges Definite promises that 26 bridges would 'be built in this riding within the next year were given the party. One is to be at Connaught. construction of which will be begun as soon as pos- sible. Hoyle is another. and a new bridge over the Wat‘abeag near Shill- ington is a third. All timber used is to be produced and creosoted in North- ern Ontario. The visitors to Toronto were shown a large scale model of the type of construction to be used on the larger bridges and report it as being highly suitable. All highway bridges are to be much wider than in the past. The first of the new type bridges is being erected near Swastika. Increased Maintenance Now For the rest of the summer and (all. increased maintenance stairs will be placed on the roads in this riding. the department has announced Gravell- “Stabilization" is a process recently experimented with in Ontario and in the North. It consists of placing on a road having a good gravel base, a mix- ture of fine crushed stone, ciay and calcium chloride. It is then rolled. and is said to give a hard, nearly dustless surface that in later years makes an excellent base for concrete, asphalt. black base or retread paving. The clay ahd calcium chloride act as binders for the crushed rock and the rolling makes the whole resistant. to damage by rain. snow and frost. A seven mile strip near Sudbury has proven successâ€" ful and the surface is now recommend- ed by the department of highways for use on Northern roads bearing heavy traffic. The South Porcupine-Schumacher road will be “stabilized" next year. the delegation of Liberals to Torento was promised (by Premier Hepburn and other government officials when they visited there last week. Brief refer- ence was made to this in a previous issue of The Advance. but more details of the type of construction to be used on the Ferguson highway and its con- necting links has been made available this week.

Several sleeping in box cars have been picked up by the police. a close check being made on vagrants. The “morality squad" made several raids last night but found no arrests or prosecutions required as a result of the activity. A boy of 14 was caught robbing cars at the‘ river where the car owners were enjoying a swim. The owner of one car caught the lad in the act and made him return articles taken from the car. Then it was found that another car had been robbed, a watch and some money having been taken. Another chase resulted in the boy beingr caught. The police arrived in the meantime and took the lad in charge. He will appear in Juvenile court. There are five drunk charges docket, one of them having he rock through the window of a house on Toke street after demanding vegetables. He then ran towards Gillie Lake and hid in the grass but the police found him. In addition to a number of remands {ram last week the police have several charges of reckless driving and other tramc cues for next week's court. One young man was found running an old type of car that had no lights. no braking power and seemed to be a menace on the roads. Another young man was driving a truck on a tempor- ary permit and the truck had little braking power as well as lacking the proper lights. , This truck attracted attention by running into a post and making a startling crash.
