"No, I don't want ay of that beating around the bush. I'll call the mayor." And so he calls the mayor, Or perhaps one of the aldermen of his ward, And, strange as it may seem, the city engineer is most pleased to have him do that very thing--wish- ed he had done it in the first place, in fact, For the mayor is as powerless as he is in the matter, Last year, in putting gravel ' and cinders on mud roads, Oshawa spent somewhat over $11,000. Nearly one mill on the dollar. It was money thrown away--all the men' connect- ed with the Board of Works depart- ment will admit that--but it had to be done--in an attempt to pacify ir- ate householders that kept the tele- phone lines busy with their grievan- ces, As much, or more will be spent this year. It seems inevitable. For, in case you don't know it, the Tax Rate gentle reader, Oshawa is founded up- on clay. And clay is muddy, very muddy, when the frost comes out of the ground and the rain descends and the top soil becomes a sticky, mussy, ly ooze. This year, it was even worse, than in former vears. For the frost came out practically all in one night, and it was followed by many rains, with no winds to dry it off, And so the city engineer's phone has been even busier usual, Harking back to the guod old days do you remember when Simcoe street south was still a ud road, and the counci to grapple, every spring with the problem of keeping hy n! down to the C.N.R. station? Per haps you don't kno, that, in vais attempts of dumping of loads of gra vel and cinders, that road, before 11 - was paved, cost the city of Oshawa more than $10,000 every spring. The city's share of the paving i hard ly be much more than that, Of course, it is impossible to pave all the streets in the city this year or any other year, It is also equally impossible to keep the streets open that aren't paved. But the situation is only temporary, for soon the sun and wind will have its way and the clay will become hard again, and the roads passable. The good old virtue of fortitude seems to be the best so- lution to the problem of mud roads.
