An evening session of the Fron- temas county council was held on Tuesday, for the purpose of allow- ing the members of that body to hold a conferente with R. C. Muir, chief engineer of municipal roads, who came to Kingston to discuss the question of pooling the money which is raised for road purposes in the townships included in the good roads system. When the council resumed at eight o'clock on the motion of Reeves Drew and Spankie, it was decided to go into the committee of a whole with Reeve Drew in the chair. Mr. Muir was asked to speak on the question of the county roads system, and he gave a very clear ex- planation of its workings. It was the wish of the government to have a more uniform system, and this could< only be accomplished by adopting the county system, by which all money raised is pooled and expended in the places where it is most needed. ! The speaker said that up until a few weeks ago there were only five counties in the province operating under the old township system, the money being expended under the direction of the reeve. Oxford township, one of the five, Nis re- cently decided to go into the county system. The county system is more uniform, and it gets away from the discontinued links, and also the lo- cal jealousy which exists in many places. Mr. Muir urged upon the members of council to treat the road question as more than of local importance. * Mr. Muir intimated that he avas satisfied the money should be ex- pended on the roads which cerried the trafic. The idea of pooling the money and appointing a committee to bandle the expenditure on the roads, was to give a central comn- trol for the expenditure. By this greater efficiency could be secured. Situation in Frontenac. Referring to the situation in Frontenac, Mr. Muir said that there were six . townships in the good roads system, and to his mind the back townships had no interest in the question, but he hoped they would pay attention to the discus: sion as it might be very veluable to them at somye fdture date when their townsiips would decide to en« ter the system. He wanfod it dis. tinctly understood that he was not present for the purpose of dictating, but his idea was to put the matter in a fair manner before the members of council. Mr. Muir thought the committee which would handle the spending of the money shoul! be a small one, as it had been found by éxperience that this was more bene- ficial. At this point Mr. Muir took oec- | casion to thank the Frontenac coun- ¢il upon the excellent roads of the county. He also complimented R. H. Fair, the county roads superin- tendent, upon the excellent way in which he handled his job, and said the department considered him a very satisfactory man. Referring to the questi chinery for road work, of ma- Mr. Muir {| said that under the proposed sys- tem, it would not be necessary to have as much machinery, as it could be moved from place to place. ; In closing his talk, Mr. Muir said that the government was beliind the county good roads systom, and wanted to make it as good a rosd as the provincial highway, if pos- sible. Questions Asked. Reeve Edward Freeman of _the township of Portland and Réeve David Barr of the town#hip of Bed- ford, who were opposed to the pool- ing of the funds, expressed thém- selves ih no uncertain manner, Reeve Jamieson, who was the firsi man to ask a question, wanted to know what percentage the govara- ment intended to give back as a sub- sidy in connection with the work on the county roads. He was informad that the bill which was now before thé house called for fifty per cent. Reeve Freeman then started his ries of questions. The first thing e asked Mr. Muir, was where Port- land township would come in. said that at the present time, the township was maintaining seventeoa miles of county provinelal highway, j was told that he could rest assured | that Bedford would cér:ainly not be neglected, that the committee would be composed of men who had no particular township, interest at stake, and would work for the inter- est of the whole county. Reeve Freeman said he consider | ed that things were getting along very nicely under the township sys- tem, and 'he felt it was a hardship to his township to change. 1ie re- ferred to the' heavy debt which is being carried by the county for the' construction and maintenance of the provincial highway, and he thought that" the people of the county would be paying interest charges on this heavy expenditure for the next hundred years. Portland Cannot Drop Out. The Portland representative de- clared that if the by-law for the pooling of the funds was passed, his township would waht to get out of the good roads system, as he was satisfied it could get more work done as a township proposition, than if it entered the new scheme. Mr. Muir informed Reeve Freeman that the province would not stand for the Portland road reverting back to the township, and told him that a township cannot drop out of the system, as the government had a share in the cost of it, and would certainly have something to say about it. Mr. Muir told Reeve Freeman that suppose the Portland roads needed ten thousand dollars expeén- diture on them, and only four thou- sand dollars was raised, the bal- ance would have to come out of the general pool. He was satisfied that this road, referred to by Mr. Free- man, and the other main roads in the county, had to be kept in first- class condition, and it was the inten- tion of the government to open a road away back into the county for the purpose of tourist trade, which would be suitable for motor traffic. Mr. Muir also stated that he was convinced that Portland would get all that was coming to it, and he was also satisfied that it was better off than Bedford township. He in- formed "Reeve Freeman that he thought the township of Hinthin- brooke would be in the good roads system within the next twelve months, Loughboro Reéve Satisfied. Reeve William Guthrie said that he was satisfied that Mr. 3g. hag made things very clear. / had been opposed to the county road system before his township entered, but he had changed his mind during the past few years. He was glad to know that the government was pre- pared to' go fifty-Bfty on the sub- sidy. Mr. Guthrie sald he was con- vinced that the government was quite justified in asking the town- ships to pass this by-law which calls for the poeling of the funds. The county had already appointed the committee asd he was. convinced that this body of men could be trusted in the spending of the good roads' money in the proper way. In closing his remarks, Reeve Guthrie stated that he wanted to deal squarely with all parties . and he was satisfied that the council should pass the by-law for ome year and give it a fair trial, and them if it did not carry out as expected, he would vote with Reéve Freeman to rescind the by-law and go back to the old system. Reeve Bibbit whén referring to clause 4 of the by-law said that he did not think it was right to raise certain money from all the town- #hips in the county, but it should be confined .to the ones included in the good roads system. He was advised by Mr. Muir that the government had made provision for counties where the townships are not 'all in the system, and this money which is required would be raised in the six townships in Frontenac. Reeve: Graham said that he was satisfied to support the by-law -and thought that it should go through council as it was the best thing for the road system. Reeve Freeman claimed that it nn, over which all the people of the} northern couity tra%el when they, on Our reputation is in our goods, and we want it to be as good in your home as it is in our store" 7 F or That Easter Suit And Dress 42 inch All-Silk Bengaline--one of the neweést materials for Suits or Dresses.

He was satisfied that Mr. Muir would carry out his part of the agreement but he was not so certain about the others. Mr. Muir in answer to Reeve Freeman said that he thought the expending of the road money should be in the hands of the small commit- tee, and not handled by the reeves of each township. The county road fystem was here to stay and the system of putting a patch of good road here and there was no good. Mr. Muir told Reeve Freeman that if there were roads in his township which needed repairing to, get intp the new scheine and they would be attended to. If his township could not raise enough money to look af- ter its roads that was the very rea- son why it should adopt the new system. A township was never forced into any scheme' which was not a benefit to it. Other Reoves Satisfied. Reeve Graham agreed with Mr. Muir that the spending of the road money in the townships should not be left with the reevea anA ha «~-- glad to know that he could get rid of the job. Reeve Jamieson was of the same opinion as Mr. Graham, and he was convinced that the road committee will deal fairly with all. In closing his remarks Reeve Jamieson said that he hoped that the township of Bedford was dealt fairly with, Reeve Barr sald that if the by- law was carriéd he would be asham- ed to go back to his township, Reeve R. A. Hamilton was satis- fied, as far as his township was con- cerned, with the present system. Mr. Muir stated that there are ten thousand miles of county roads In the province and 16% of them had not had one cent of money spent on them since they were taken over. Reeve Halliday asked Reeve Free- mau what was his objection to the pooling system, and the latter went over the argument which he had presented to' the members of council during the earlier part of the de- bate. Mr. Halliday remiinded him that He had not answered his gues- as to what he had been told he went to Toronto and wait- 258 Eire HH i likes! i Eig J saapes, --Latest colors.
