woufd seem to be a move in the best interests of service to the travelling public the column headed highway hints in a recent issue of the mail and empire had the following to say concerning the connecting of highways to give motorists the opportunity to travel over gopd roads from various connections speaking of illogical road construction what is the sense of building highway no 25 from palermo to milton and not carrying tin road on through to acton and hooking up to highway n 7 acton is just as important a point as milton but evcntf it wcrenot hooking up high ways no 5 and 7 will appeal to any man as being more sensible than the proposal to build highwa 25 from palermo to milton and stop there an enjoyable new experience it was indeed a pleasure to be present at the session of

that route through to acton rockwood or guclph and on west by the construction of the highway from palermo to milton the county town has at last been placed on a oneway street by the construction of a highway from milton to join with no 7 at acton milton will be on a highway that runs both ways und the motorist arriving at acton will have flic choice of two routes to toronto the route would also be

two lughttraysso thntfull benefit may be secured from the strip already con structed congenial fellowship was renewed the ratepayers had expressed their wishes and the candidates had done their duty as citizens in running for office and all were satisfied with the decision the past years council has had jut as hectic sessions and perhaps more than many of its prcdcccassors its members were at times very much enthused and sometimes expressed themselves strongly on the side of the nrgument they deemed right there were many sharp clashes and many close votes on matters of principle and policy but on the morning following or at the following session there were no petty personalities held it was therefore possibly not to be wondered at that the same good feeling would characterize the election and the time following it and the reeve suggested in conversation following the council session that other evidence of the good- fellowship of the council of 1028 will be shown in an event planned to take place before the close of the year it was a new experience for us in connec tion with council work and we enjoyed it very much with that feeling prevailing actons future is assured end

of christmas purchasing warden blakclock has inaugurated a new depar ture from the ordinary custom in this year serving the wardens dinner in his home town of oakvillc rather than at the county seat the efforts of certain party papers in explaining that the increased liquor revenue does not mean increased consumption of liquor are very crude and makes one wonder if these organs think that the people all be fools keening the highways open the simcoe county council has apparently started something by their resolution to the department of i highways asking that the snowplows be kept off the provincial roads of the county during january and february undoubtedly the farmers suffer when they are unable to draw their sleighs over the high ways that are clear of snow and some consideration should be shown them to enable them to use the highways but the resolution to keep the snow- 1 plows off the highway would seem rather hasty the barrie caminer speaking editorially on the matter says it is readily admitted thut during the post two winterb the farmer has had a grievance the department itself readily admits this and has doubt less taken steps to remedy those grievances much more difficulty problems than that of maintaining winter traffie to the satisfaction of both the niotonstj and the farmer have been solved by engineering science in recent years it is reasonable to expect tliut it too will be solved but a solution can only be reached by experience such as the past two years have afforded the pxammer believes the rail roads other things being equal should be given the

surplus of only 273000 and its revenue of nearly 8thq000 from liquor control can hardly be termed good finan ciers without whiskey gasoline and hydro their deflar would have exceeded that of the
