" That surely is previous practical eiper- leiice. " Ho says Orey haa had sinkint{ fund anil interest for gravel roads." Cei- tniiily, we had to pay for them, we can- not gel Kood road* without, and the moat aorious part he s.<y« ».r«in, w.>» the money required to keep the roads in repair, until the ratv|Hiyers gnmned und<«r it« weight. But 1 siy they did not gru^n »a hard nor â- â€¢ much ill ••rnn«t as the testn drawing loada on th« bad roads. He abould t«n «s in what way tbe millioa dolUn rnwt 's a political bait ? If it is it has no hook or string attached to it,«s it is a fact that that amount is set apart forroad purposes, and any or every county in the province may get its share and all on the same basis. Arc his figures for the road to the •tationnota little too high? If the amount was spi ead ov,ir say 10 years the county would not need to borrow as he figures on. If he would read the Act he would find th.it the hearsays re. control of govoriiment engineers, inspectors.reports of road, etc., etc., have no foundation in fact. His proposal to dispense with â- ttttute labor I think ia a step in the riuht direction. Ho finally asks, what is to he gained hy such a grant, and answers, "Simply nothing." Ia that correct, as we are likely to have to expend an amount on the roads for the .loxt ten years equal to that required to get the grant anyway ? .Vonid we not gam the full amount of i{r»iit by truing hold of the schsine ? -â€" .l.W.
