A. Callan of Coboconk, in reference to a sum of money given or supposed to be given by the provincial government for the improvement of the Coboâ€" eouk-‘Burnt River road during the fall of 1900. Now. sir. being one of the penons who said that no govern- ment grant would be expended upon the Said road during the year men- tioned. kindly allow me space to state the grounds upon which I made the assertion. an assertion which proved to be correct. During the month of August 1900 I had an interview with the Hon. F. Lam-Mord. Minister of Public Works. regarding a. government grant to (’owan's Crock bridge in Emily and took advantage of the opportunity: to as]; for a grant to a. road in Stanhopo, Mr. Latchford's reply was that. the short road fund, the only money at his disposal for such a pumoso. was all expended and there- iorc ho could not make any more gran ts . In September and October our "friends the enemy" were seeking to make \otc-s for Dr. McKav on the ground that he had persuaded the Ontario gou-rnment to gixe a grant of $300 to the road referred to. and I was asked among others by Messrs. John Suggctt and Griffin of Baddow :: Hfic “'PrP true. My reply owing Coboconk-Burnt River Road Improve. ments. spend money on the umuu River road. His reply have none." As Mr. Loun the man who directs how (-rnment money in this dist be expended and inspects when done. he would have that the authority on our statements was t able. and” in saying 11 be expended on this Katie's hands on 1900. and that t1 few days ago ha pendedit seems to makes a charge (1 against the govcr against the governme a charge which I. z the present adminis hesitate to make unla- the strongest, evidenc- is properly‘not pormi negligence of lcavlng moncy in any priva hands for nearly a ye: Moreover such a paymc to appear in 1110. publi Ontario for 1900. and am’ such item. If i iwhat receipt has the ditor for the expend work was done there sheets available. acknowledgement in such pay were of the money an. e... __, , not be sufficient. Then if Mr. Cauan was aware that this money was in Mr. Iiettie's possession. how is it he did not insist that it should be exâ€" pended last fall or during the June of this year, Which would have been a. much better time. These, Mr. Editor, are questions which seem to me to require an answer. In conclusion we wish to say that if any remarks 0 injured Mr. Callan. 0 statement was had not, authority. and which time did not prove to be right.

Wil- true. namely, that I warned con- stable Brock to summon every 0nc who trotted a horse or horses 0Wr the Fenelon Falls bridge and asks why did I not put a. notice in the ‘local papers before doing so ; “Who in thunder cares for their great grand children? If a man did not drive his buggy faster than a walk it would last so much longer." etc. If the writer had not stated that he was one of the thirteen who fell un- der the justice hammer of PM. Dea- con and paid the penalty of disre- garding the notices at the. ends of the bridge, I would not have believ- ed that Dr. A. Wilson of Fenelon Falls was the writer. He was one lOf the unlucky thirteen. in which lthere was only one A. Wilson. Why ‘did not the doctor write his letter to the local papers? Was it because he thought the readers of your paper would not know who A. Wilson waS. or was it because knowing your pap- er had a very large circulation. the more widespread would be his efâ€" forts to injure me in the estimation of the people of this county. knowing as he does that I am fairly well known all ox'er the county. and out- side of a local paper circulatian he is not known. Now if the doctor has no desire or care for anything beyond the requirements of this short life. not even for his great-grand- thildren, I do care enough not to al- low him to pass on to my posterity. that l was a man not worthy of the good opinion of my fello‘u-men. I did think that the. doctor had more nanliness in him, more common sense than he has shown in his ef- forts to traduce myself specially and that committee and also justify his daily Violations of a common law. He forgets also in his comparison of the buggy he drives with the bridge that the buggy if his own he may use as he pleases and only himself will have. to pay for the damage. The bridge in question is the proper- ty of the tax-payers of the whole county: some. of them have already greatâ€"grand children and may he as anxious for their good and future not wcllfare as for their own, and the county council. who arc the natural guarnian of the public property of the county. are expcctcd to protect the people’s interests in thc samc. Now to put the doctor right. and I trust cause him to at, lcnst {cc-l if not, ashamed that he has been hasty in condemning unheard myself if not the whole county council. there was no special committee. The whole council has for some years been dis- cussing at. the. regular sessions. the every day violations of the law in connection with the Fenelon Falls bridge. The councillor for Fenelon division has been instructed repeat- edly to look after the matter (the councillors are supposed to look more particularly after the local lmatters of their own division) and at the last June session Mr. Alex. McGee. who is one of the members for Fenelon division, was instructed to have the signs put up at the ends of the bridge and also do all he could to stop the everyâ€"day violation of the law. Now does the doctor not really know who are the council- lors for his division or does he think Mr. McGee is not man enough to do his duty. that he is not qualified for the position he was elected to? Now sir. lust to tell you how guilty I am in the matter believing that Mr. McGee Would not delay in carrying out instructions. I did go to con- stable Brock. told him of i..e inâ€" structions given to Mr. McGee. and not wishingr to have any of my good friends or neighbors pay a line ask- ed constable Brock to warn them (not summon as stated by the docâ€" tor). Brock said he would. and ] believe he did. There my interest in the matter ended. I did not give it another thought, sent in no re- port. knew nothing about Mr. Short and his thirteen until it was all over. If the bridge was in my division and the people would not heed friendly warning I would justify a similar action. but the penalty might. have reasonably been one-fifth the amount for a start. Hoping you will kind- ly give the above publication in your next issue, I am, yours truly, J. AUSTIN. Editor The Watchman-\\'ardor. Sir:â€"-â€"Kindly allow me space in your valued paper to make a few statements in defence of the persons referred to by Mr. R. A. Callan as maliciously telling untrmhs, or who were careless to ascertain the facts. It is true Mr. Callan said the provin- cial government had made a. grant on the road leading from Coboconk to Burnt River, but strange to say nobody seemed to know anything about the existence of the grant but Mr. Callan. Now this grant was to be expended right away before the Dominion. elections, but Was not exâ€" pended. No person seemed to know why. We think the proper way to tonvince the people of the existence. Kinmount, Aug. 16th. Burnt River Improvements of a grant is to go to work and ex- pend it. It is the money that talks and that would have saved Mr. Cal- lan the trouble of putting his little explanation in the paper, and also saved Mr. James Rettie the trouble of taking charge of that grant for nearly a year. Now I think that if ‘Mr. (.‘allan would be honest with his own convictions, or honest with the general public, he would acknowledge that there has been just cause for people to doubt the existence of the‘ grant. the way it has been kept hid away as it were in a napkin. People do not want to search Mr. S. Snddaby's books or go to Mr. James {cttie's to learn the truth about this letter that contained the grant. This letter. Mr. (‘allan says contained 8230. and what in the name of com- mon sense the money has been held so quietly for seems strange. How- ever, we are glad to hear that the money is to be expended. and I hope the parties who succeeded in influenc- ing the government to make us this longâ€"talked-ot grant may long live to exercise their influence. Thanking you in advance for the publication of the above, I am, yours truly. JAMES W. GRIFFIN. Pointers About Newspapers “The third editiun of the.
