Inspector McLean complimented Councillor Rankin upon the good coun- dition of the new roads. Between ten and twelve miles have been gone over this year, tho strétches being in Kings. ton, | Loughbero, Storrington, Port land and Pittsburg townships. The work is well done. Next year possibly double the amount of highway will be rebuilt. By that time the county will likely have the necessary roller, which will cost only about $3200. The government inspector declared that with limestone so close at hand. Frontenac should have the best roads in Ontario, for it can build them for almost one-half the amount it costs in other counties, which have to bring the necessary metal long distances. In Frontenac there are stone guarries ev- ervwhere, The inspection i= made under the good roads act. The county receives from the government one-third of the amount it expends on these roads. The inspector views them, and reports as to whethey thev are entitled 'to gov- ernment grant... The county has to pre- sent --to the government an itemized account of the cost of the wark for the year. : $ is Choice Gilbert's, creamery butter, 30c. 1b., at The average ' condition of potatoes | Toronto, ont. ov. 18.~Dttawa Valle Upper St. he RL np nds, gradual! 4 Croasing to-day.
