COUNCIL 1S IN SESSION Provincial Road Matters Be- fore It--Rate of Taxation ( To Be Struck | . | The June session of thé Frontenac county council opened at five o'clock Tuesday afternoon. This is the most | important session of the year as the budget is arranged and the tax rate | struck. Something will he heard too about the provincial highway. Ac- | to the amended act, all the municipalities of the county must the close of 1920, but the Frontenac representa- tives from the north are strongly ob- jecting to being assessed at all for { | | | i | | WARDEN DREW | this highway which runs through the | southérly limits of Kingston and | Pittsburg townships and not benefit townships from sixty to one hundred miles north: Just before the council adjourned Councillor R. A. Hamilton said that | at a recent meeting of the finance committee a desire had been express- ed that the council sessions should be more fully reported in the King- | ston daily newspapers. The people through the county were asking that this be done. The idea appeared to prevail in sections, said Councillor Hamilton, that some of the council's business was purposely suppressed. Such was not the case. Dr. Spankie, reeve of Wolfe Island, stated that the finance committee, of | which he was chairman, had delegat- does i | ed him to .see the proprietors of the | newspapers and find out if fuller re- {ports could be given. He said he | was given the assurance that the | council's business would be reported {as fully as was possible. The news- papers, he sald, were under great | expense, and It cost something to re- port and print proceedings of any public body. Dr. Spankie stated that {the council, however, must do its {part and assist the newspaper writers | by meeting at the time designated. Unfortunately it had been the prac- | tice 6f many councils to adjourn to a certain hour and not meet for long afterwards. Last gession the hours {of meeting had been better kept, and | this was of assistance to the news- papers, whose writers could not af- ford to lose so much valuable time. Bath Road Provincial, The following letter from R. C. Muir, chief engineer of municipal roads, was read: | "The minister of the department | of public highways has been pleased {to decignate Road No. 2, known as |the Bath Road, from the easterly | mits of the city of Kingston to the | western boundary of the county as a | provincial county road. The minis- {ter, after due consideration, was un- | able to grant requests for the under- j mentioned roads on account of the |large existing mileage of provincial | highways and provincial roads. { "(1)--The road known as county {road No. 6 in the township of Bed- {ford, commencing at Buck Lake and running north easterly to the eastern | boundary of the county. | *"(2)--County Road No. 13, in the | township of Bedford, commencing at i the boundary line road between the | township of Bedford and the town- |ship of Hinchinbrooke (about one {mile west of Glendower) running north easterly through Glendower and Sangster to the eastern boundary of the county. | "With reference to By-law No. | 314-B passed by your council extend- |ing the system of county roads with- |in your county, this by-law has been [considered by the minister and is ap- | provea with exception of the under- | mentioned roads, as per communica- ition from chief engineer of munici- {pal roads; also that By-law No, 218- |B has been considered by the minis- | ter and approved--extending the ex- | isting county road No. 7 in the town- {ship of Storrington: | *"(1) Commencing at Road No. 5, {and Lot 5, Concession 7, Township {of Kingston and running southwest- jerly and eoutherly to Road No. 3a, | at Sharpton, on lot 12, concession 6, {of the said township. | (2) Commencing at Road No. 7, {on Lot 1, Concession 6, Township of {Storrington at Shetticks Hill and running northeasterly to the bound- ary of the Township of Pittsburg at Washburne Locks, and thence south- easterly to Road No. 8, of the Town- ship of Pittsburg.
