ROGERS WA IIE3 ABOUT FRONTENAC COUN. TY MATTERS. | He Thinks That the Affairs of the County Have Not Been Well Administered--Too Much Good Money Badly Spent. e Kingston, Dec. 9.--(To the Editor) : As the season is approaching that we are called upon to select men to represent us in the various municipal councils a few words through your columns may act as an incentive to the electorate to také more interest in such, matters. That we 'have been indifferent in the Past is evident by the conditions of our hnances--in the county particularly. About thirty years ago the county in~ debtedness was $300,000 caused mainly, 1 understand, by our separation from the county of Lennox and Addington, on as- suming 'the cost of building the jail and court house, etc. Our concil at that time in their wisdom bonded our indebt- edness payable in thirty years, ending it December, 1909. The rate struck at that time for.that purpose on the county assessment was sufficient to pay the an- nual payments, and if our affairs had been honestly and judiciously managed, we would have had a surplus now in- stead of an indebtedness of over $80,000. For years past they have been bor- rowing from the bank, paying thousands of dollars of interest on notes and over- drafts, amounting to over $60,000 dol- lars which was contrary to law. The bank refused further accomodation un- der such conditions, and the "present council was obliged fo issue new de- bentures, The law demands that such a pro- cedure must be submitted to the vote of the people--but no doubt. in the in- terest of economy they applied to the legislature for a special act permitting them to issue new debentures amounting to $60,000 payable in ten years. I claim it would have been better to spend a few hundred dollars to get the vote of the electorate on the matter, It would have aroused them from their lethargy to demand from their representatives some 'explanation why such a condition of affairs exists and what are the pros- pects for the future. It would have been only just to a few of our present repre- sentatives and made it easier sailing for the men who come after them. I would not like to be classed as a pessimist but there is nothing like speak- ing out and putting things in their proper light. While many of us are in favor of legislation along the lines of advanced education, a better system of | road and bridge building, we feel it has been forced upon us rather fast and in too arbitrary a manner. Our county has reason to feel it particularly so, with the greater portion of our county. | might say non-revenue producing, ré- quiring heavy expenditure in road making and bridge building. And the front girded as it were with toll roads which have been, and are ex- pected to he bought up by the county for it is evident the days of toll roads are numbered and may be considered a thing of the past. We are attempting to adopt a county road system with about half the toll roads bought up. The present system calls for an expenditure of $120,000, the government paying one-third. <The Bath and Portland roads are for sale, the and the Cataraqui bridge surely won't be left out in the cold. Now, with our past bungling of road buying and bridge building, what are we to hope for in the future? The Loborough bridge alone cost over $32,- 000. One member of the council as- sured me it should have been built for less than $12,000., At the June session after issuing de- bentures for $60,000, the last sitting of the council had to borrow $20,000 to | meet current expenses. In the face of all that, what semblance of economy do we exercised. Go the right 'way about you can get a grant for any- sec it thing. | Distillers to His Majesty the King.

R {he * Edit- or) : There has been much said about the disgraceful way in which the stu- dents acted on Saturday 'night 'and about their making amends to ' pro- perty owners, but what about the young man named J. Pound, who was knocked - insensible and brutally cpt in the face with a flying stone. Re seems to me that they ought to he thankful that murder was not leit at their door, as might have happened in this case. Had he got hit a. couple. of inches one way or the other from wheré the stone hit « him, it would surely Mave cost the young man - his life. As it is he will be disfigured for a long time. The young man is in- offensive and the support of his home and an invalid father. Much indigna- tion is expressed.

Kingston Township, Dec. 9.--(To the Editor) : Can any reader tell me why the Williamsville post office is retain- ed where it is ? It is supposed to be for the convenience of the people re- siding between Cataraqui on the York Rbad, and Collins Bay on the Bath Road, also those who live on the concessions. We have to travel nearly a mile into the city to secure our mail. We have made cpmplaints and sent petitions to have it removed to the city limits, near the county school house. but no notice has been taken of our complaints. The mail is delivered within city limits, so ghe office is not required, as it was formerly, when the mail was not de- livered at Williamsville. Now as a class we are large taxpayers and I do not see! why we should have 4g put up with so much inconvenience. If it was situated just inside the city lim- its, our children could call and get the mail coming from school, whereas now they have to walk nearly a mile, which is too much in these short cold Open To Suspicion.

Iceboating--A Successful Winter Assured. Gamanoque, Dec. 9.--Gananoque's winter sportsmen met Tuesday after- noon, and organized the Gananogue Ice Yacht Club. The meeting was well attended and the move is a popular one as evidenced by the display wof enthusiasm. Gananoque possesses sev- eral good ice-boats, -including three or four built on the latest speed models, As well as two now under construe- tion. Several requests from members of others clubs in this vicinity brought about this meeting, which de- veloped into what is looked forward to be a promising association. As is well known among the yachting fra- ternity and those who have attended this resort during the summer racing events, the harbor \is an excellent one for ice yacht racing.
