He has always _ voted for the Scugog roadway grants, but will probably oppose them in futare. This council had been given to understand some years ago that if certain grauts were mde the county would not be asked for some time to come. Mr. Graham (8cugog) aid this was 80, and had the county council granted the sum asked for the roadway would have been completed ere now. Only a fow dollars could be secured at a time, and this had compelled him and Mr. Wright to continue their asking. Mr. Coulthard was again voted down on the same vote as before, Then the clanse passed. The new clause to grant money on the Kingston road then came up. Mr. Mowbray, (E.- Whitby) said his township would not supplement the county grant with even a dollar, Mr. Gibbs pleaded eloquently for a grant. He said he did not thank any municipality to come here and ask money to spend on its roads on condi- | tion that it spend a like sum, but when Whitby and Oshawa were willing to] meet grants in Whitby township he | believed there cause ust be a worthy one. Mr. Gillespie said that was his opin: ion exactly, and he would favor any grant the two towns would meet, Mr, May said it was unreasonable to offer $200 on condition that these towns grant $400. He moved that | the condition be $200. This was voted down, Then he moved $300 and it was voted down. Then the clause was voted down, t00, and that ended it. THE NEW RAILWAY.
