However, in your paper of December 18th, is another state- ment headed "Road Dispute Settled" and leaving the ratepayers still won- dering what the decision is. But to make things worse, in the last issue, someone has made a false statement and being very much interested in Olden's affairs I am 'ready to prove thatuthe statement is false when it says that. "It will be remembered that prev- fous to this matter being taken be- fore Judge Lavell, the township of Oso paid the whole cost of the up- keep of the road, although part of the boundary road was in the town- . ship of Olden." "Now there are dozens of ratepay- érs who know that the statement is not true. I could go on and tell of & good many miles of road Oso want- ed Olden to help maintain, but space will net permit. However, I know that if you would print the judge's decision in full it would be-read with much interest by a large number :of subscribers and ratepayers. --G. M.

In the Matter of an Arbitration Be- tween the Township of Oso and | the Township of Oden: I, Harry Anson Lavell, Judge of the County Court of the County of Frontenac, having been duly appoint- | ed arbitrator by the said Townships | to determine whether and to what | extent a certaln public highway sit-| uated partly on the boundary be- | tween the sald Townships and partly | in each Township should be declared | & botindary road and to fix the pro- portion which each Township should bear of the cost of maintenance there of and control of monies expended thereon. And having on the 2nd day of De- cember, 1919, pursuant to appoint- ment, heard the. evidence offered by the parties and what was alleged by their respective counsel and having duly \weighed and considered same, do now award and adjudge 'as fol- lows: - 1. The public highway commenc- ing from its point of junction with the said boundary line adjoining Lot 1 in the 1st Concession of Oso thence northerly either upon or close to said boundary line to a point approxima- tely in the centre of the western li- mit of lot 9 in said concession, thence converging slightly toward the east across lots, 9, 10, 11 and part of 12 in said concession to the shore of Sharbot Lake and thence by the re to be a boundary road within the meaning and intent of the Muni- cipal Act. 3. The public highway commenc- ing on the boundary line west of lot 15 in sald concession thence north- erly upon or close to said line to a point thereon a short distance south of the line, between lots 19 and 20 in sald ncession, thence: easterly across {fo northerly part of said lot 19 until @s it approaches the easterly limit thereof it turns in a northerly direction, thence across lots 30, 21, 22, 23 and 24 to-a point on the eas- terly limit of said lot -34, thence westerly across the north easterly part of said lat. 24 and diagonally ac- ross lot 25 to the boundary line be- tween maid Townships thence across the allowance for road on said line Into Olden and thence northerly to its junction with the highway run- ning east and west near the norther- ly boundary of the Township of Olden, I declare to be a boundary road within the meaning of the Mu. nicipal Act. 3. The deviations of said roads from the actual boundary line where- soever the same occur were rendered necessary by physical difficulties or abstructions on sald line and a better road was thus obtained. 4. The boundary road above de- scribed lying south of Sharbot Lake and that part of the boundary road north of Sharbot Lake from its sou- thermost point to 'the point where it turns north on lot 19 in the first con-~ » \ 4 \ y TT 77 7 i WR FS . ~ ~-- va 3, When one thinks of a gift at Christmas time it 'may be gloves or 'kerchiefs, perhaps a long-hoped-for wrap of silken fur, a dia- mond ring or some such thing, according to one's tastes, desires®--or expectations.

On or before the Ast day of May in each year the municipal coun- ¢il of the Township of Oso shall no- tify the council of Olden of the amount of money Oso will' that year expend on that part of the boundary roads hereinbefore ordered to be maintained by both Tdwnships, and of the nature and location of the work to be performed thereon by Oso, and thereupon Olden shall set apart and expend on sald part of roads an amount not less than that appropriated by Oso and shall give due notice to the latter township of the locatjon. and extent of the work to be performed, provided that eith- er 'township may on sufficient grounds, but not so as to unduly in- terfere with the other rforming its work in a différent manner and at a different location from that settled upon as above provided if upon due notice being given the other town- ship does not object, and provided further that in no event shall Olden be required to expend more than $20, per mile on that part of the roads other than the bridge maintained by both townships equally in any year. 8. All monies expended and all work done on said roads by either township shall be paid and perform- ed by that township directly with- out interference ¢r eontrol by the other township except as herein pro- vided. * 9. Each township shall bear its own, costs of these arbitration pro- ceedings and shall pay one half of the arbitratfon's fee. ~ Given under my hand at the City of Kingston this 13th day of Decem ber, 1919. i .=--(8gd.} H.
