part or parts of ontario to which it might be deemed suit able and the proclamation of it in the twentytwo counties follows these counties acceptance of it at the june meetings of their councils prior to this plan of subsidy two classes of roads existed namely county provincial roads and county roads which were given grants of 60 and 40 per cent respectively these two subsidies workedwt to an average one of 4vz per cent so that in merging thetwo classes j roads into one and giving a subsidy if so per cent the government is facing increased ptrymenuan sub sidy accounting the aimpf the
