City Will Oil Road as Soon as K Drys Out--It Is Suggested That Auto- mobile Drivers Dim Lights When Passing Camp. * The soldiers at Barriefield camp are crying out for the Gananoque road to be repajred and oiled. This road is the most used of any in this part of Ontario, and yet little or no attention seems to be paid by the au- thorities tMat it might be kept in condition. Since the camp was first thought of, the city has been promising to ojl this road, but $o far nothing has been done to keep the road in condition for traffic, the continued wet weather be- ing to blame. The city will oil the road as soon as it is thoroughly dried out. { A recommendation that all automo- bile drivers be instructed to dim their lights while passing in front of Bar- riefield camp has been made to the Whig, and the suggestion is a good one, There are hundreds of ral on this road, and the drivers of cars or pedestrians are forever facing some brilliant and blinding headlight wihch in most cars can be dimmed by the simple turning of a switch It| would certainly save a lot of incon-| Lord Desborough, sp®iking, is presenting the aeroplane venience, besides making the road safer for travel if such action was on behalf of the Leicester Chamber of Commerce.
