Ai1uu¢ AGVanceée, linmins. Dear Sir:â€"There is a matter of great importance to the district that should be called to the attention of the governâ€" ment and.the people of the district. On the highway, construction work (mainly filling with loose rock) has been proâ€" gressing throughout the winter. The thaws have naturally drawn frost, creâ€" ating "frost boils" and pitthâ€"holes. Doâ€" minion Construction Co. placed several loads of rock in the road from Vipond to Schumacher, alleviating the worst of the holes. Now, apparently, they refuse to maintain the road unless paid for it by the Dept. of Highways. This, however, it is understood, the Dept. reâ€" fuses to do, although it would cost only a few hundred dollars. As a conseâ€" quence, and until roads become in betâ€" ter condition, work is at a standstill. The crux of the situation is that unâ€" less work is prosecuted vigorously, no paving can be started by June 15th. And unless the paving is commenced about that date, it will not l completed beâ€" tween South Porecupine and Timmins before the snow flies next fall. Thus, for a small expenditure (which no one apparently is ready now to authorize) the whole work comes to a standstill. This, despite the promise by Premier Hepburn in Timmins arena last year to continue work vigorously until a deâ€" cent road is completed. I understand that one bus firm alone pays nearly $15,000 in taxes to the Dept. of Highâ€" ways. The taxes paid. directly and inâ€" directly, by all the other firms using the roads, and the taxes paid by the motorists in general, and the general public, in this part of the North, surely sugegest that everything should not be held up now for the sake of a few hunâ€" dred dollars. : Strained Vision Causes Crows Feet also wrinkles and perâ€" manent lines on your face that add years to your looks.
