County Road ft And justly so for it seems to me there is no other matter requiring greater consideration at our hands at the time than the Roads question The Improvement of our country roads is not by any means keeping pace with the advancement made in young and prosperous country along almost all other lines We have it is true some good roads in this County but the great proportion of are still In a primitive state and often utterly un fit for travel at some seasons of the year this condition things con fronting and In view of the act that the Ontario Legislature in their wisdom saw fit to pass act setting aside for ihe improvement of the highways In old er Ontario and also if view of the fact the best roads in the Prov ince today are said to be in Counties that have adopted County Road notably the County of Hastings where have had a sys tem of County for upwards of years and where they now have according to the report the Good Roads Commission over miles of County roads which are kept in repair by the annual expendi ture of about per mile The County Council of York at an ad journed meeting held on July af ter consulting delegates from the dif ferent local municipalities in County who had been Invited to attend prepared a ByLaw setting apart a system roads as County Roads giving fU 1st and read ings on that day Tills ByLaw which has been print ed add circulated among the ratepay er was submitted to the Councils of the different municipalities or their approval or and they appear to have been divided their opinions the matter Count accordingly at the Session held in November submit the question Are you Jn On Wednesday of last week Dec favor of the County Road System a very pretty wedding took to the as provided for KESWICK having the roads all placed one management Because of the Countys large jur isdiction they would be able to em ploy a competent superintendent and also proper foremen who would have charge over the different gangs of men who through having constant employ ment at same work would become and consequently better re sults would follow for tho money ex pended The County could also pur chase a full outfit uptodate machinery consisting of Grader Rock Crusher Holler Trac tion etc and thereby be able to leave a finished piece work be hind them ready lor traffic instead of a bank of or broken stone strewn along the middle of the road which in most cases requires a whole seasons travel over it before being fit for use This would bo almost impossible to the small municipality on account of the heavy expense in purchasing ma chinery Then the County taking over and maintaining the leading and travelled roads the local municipali ties would be free to devote whole attention to building and main taining the less travelled roads in the Townships so that every man would be whether he lived adjacent to a County rod or not The construction of County roads under experienced workmen where are properly finished with up-to- date machinery would be valuable lessons to less experi ence that would aid materially in im proving present methods of construc tion The local might also for a nominal sum hire the County machinery when not in use which would be much cheaper than purchas ing for There are many other point that might be touched on but space will not permit Only Freeholder and year are entitled to vote on above
