The Masonic Bulletin™ of Canton, Ohio, has the following about a former Kingstonian: "Bro. William E. Sherlock came to Canton in 1879 and was married the same year. In 1884 he engaged in the foundry business, which by strict attention to all the details grew un- men, when he retired a couple of in the material welfare of his life's spect. of all assdtlated with him. Passing through his foundry he could call his help by name and was acquainted in a large measure with their personal affairs. His love for his work and his employees was 80 strong that he mever sought public office. There was never a strike in his factory, men in his employ rais- ed families and their sons carried on the work. "Bro.

L "Those who benefit should pay and those who pay'should benefit," was the text of the admirable and con- vincing talk on "Highways and' the Gasoline Tax," delivered by Mr. S. L. Squire, deputy minister of roads, at the luncheon of the Kiwanis Club on Monday. The speaker was introduc- ed by Mr. H. C. Nickle. \ The problem of roads, said the speaker, is as old as human kind. Roads are the companion of civiliza- tion, commerce expands With them and over them the armies of the 2g0 mere tracks sufficed for Canada. It is only ten years since the first concrete road was bulit in Ontario. The spread of good roads is so rapid that many of us are unconscious of them and of the changes they are in-! troducing into our lives. Up until 1900 care of the roads was left to last three years the Who benefits most from good The speaker believed that the benefits were about equally shar- ed between. tountry and urban dis- tricts. The latter, however, contri- buted directly only between four and five per cent. of the cost of roads. During the past year a trafic census had been taken on all the roads of the province and this showed how rapidly the traffic increases as a city is 'approached. Toronto, for instance, has about 42,116 people coming and going daily by steam and electric roads but the highway trafic at a range of roughly ten miles from the city shows about 70,000 a day in and out by motor vehicles. or Some Kingston res. Similar figures from the census for the Kingston district show that during the summer and autumn about 3,202 people enter or leave each day. There are 10,000 people a day using the roads about Kingston. Since 190% the municipality has con- tributed $103,000 to roads and the motorists $103,000 making a total of $206,000 for roads in this district from Kingston. This is less than six cents per year per person entering and leaving by these roads. The province has contributed 62 per cent. of the cost of roads in this district. It is therefore plain that the motor- ists ape not paying for the roads. Nor are the figures which the motorists have used in presenting their case Quite fair. They have tompared the proportion they pay with that of the province. But in considering the gate the part paid by the province from that paid by the county and township. The amount spent on roads last year was $25,824,000 and it will be a long time before we can materially | reduce this expenditure because ene miie of good road invariably creates the demand for another. Of the cost of roads in recent years over fifty millions have not been met out Those Who Benefit Should || world travel.

Tests were carried out for two years in Kentucky to dis- cover the difference in cost of using cars on poor and on good roads. The difference for gasoline and repairs on Ford ears worked out at 2 1-2 cents per mile in favor of the good roads. During: the last seven years the dver- age amount of gasoline used per car in the United States has gone down from 509 gallons a year to 440 gal- lons. This the speaker attributed chiefly to the improvement in roads. The cars go farther with the same amount of fuel. The money which the motorist pays in the gasoline tax is returned to him, when invested in better roads, in the length of life of his car and pleasure in using it. In moving the vote of thanks, Mr. George Bawden endorsed the spedk- er's views, even though it meant that his business of selling cars and spare parts and gasoline was apparently going to be reduced by the promised roads. Mr. L. C. Lockett seconded the vote which was heartily applaud- ed by all the members, who were de- lighted to have heard such an able presentation of the government's side of the good roads problem and the reasons for the' application of the gasoline tax. -- Two Sons Born to Mf.
