In two weeks 4 temporary staff of traffic censu: takers will be distributed ainong the sities of the provinee to study the demands of the different centres and to determine the share which eacl ¢ity should take In the support o! thie Highways running out into the respective counties. These men will be especially de tailed to settle the size of the sub urban areas containing roads whici &re Of unucual importance 10 ty business, and for which the civic cotincils will be expected 10 provide maintenance. The intention of the commission is to so divide up the cost in every instance that the par ties concerned will bear proportion- . {ate shares with the government looking after the balance. Thus, in certain areas surrounding the cit tes, roads will be made practically self-supporting. Betweea these and throughout the purely rural districts the financing will be proyided by the motor tax arranged for il special legislation. Farmers, in t main will not be expected to go much be yond their customary taxes for road support, and these highways will as nearly approach strictly govern ment ventures, as any which the commission are planning. The staff of census takers will be supplemented as occasion demands and a chief officer will be stationed at commission headquarters to, tabu- late reports for final consideration. The census taken prior to the pub lished plans was designed alfogethe: from a rural standpoint. The idea in view was to gain information . as to the needs of the farming commun- ity in the getting of their preducts to the nearest market centres. Ir the tabulation no notice was taken on automobile traje. This, - how- ever, is increasing daily in Ontarie, and is being recognized as one: ol the most important factors to be dealt with. ' One of the ainis of the commission in sending out the motor survey par- ties and the. new traffic experts is to educate city and country ceuncils, as well as farming communities, ip the real purpose of the government enterprises. Provincial Highways Engineer Mclean, who is in charge of the administration, states that eonciderable misunderstandings ex ists at present and that before long concrete examples of the ultimate system will be shown. As far as actual construction in the province is concerned, activities this summer will be slight; the energy of the regular government department and .the commission merging 'towards {he one end. A government demonstration highway is now nearing completion in the vicinity of Aylmer. 1t is 4000 feet in length and constructed of macad am and concrete. There are now {several of these in differént parts of the province serving as links in the general highway system and de- monstrating the benefits of public co-operation in road building. Gamey In Limelight. Toronto News (Con.) The following letter from R. R. Gamey, member of the legislature for Manitoulin, (the man whe charg- ed Hon. J. R.

Winnipeg, July 14 --Copious rains throughout Manitoba and Saskatohe- wan and a good average downfall in northern Alberta, gave new life to the growing crop in the Canadian prairie west and in some cases saved the crop from absolute ruin. The only dis- trict, of any size not visited was the Medicine Hat district, and as a re sult the gkain there - is suffering severely and in many cases complete loss will result, "There will hardly be an acre of grain cut in this dis-? titiet," says the Western 'Assotiated Press correspondent there. ~ Other correspondents report exceeding bene- ficial results fom the rainfall. It was Manitoba, however, which received the heaviest fall of this week- end and in Winnipeg the rains were torrential. The Winnipeg district had no heavier rain since June 3rd, when 35 inches fell: On Saturday night and Sunday morning, however, .25 in- ches of rain fell from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. Sunday noon. A slightly less heavy downfall was reported from Brandon, in central Manitoba, Dauphin, in the xorth, to Delorain, in the south, while north, central and south Saskatchewan also reported! generous falls. Edmenton, for Northern Alberta, reported rain, as did Calgary for the central .por- tion of .the province.
