Proo- er machinery for the work must be got or the money would be wasted. Cabinet I Long Session. Washington, Dec. 24.â€"The Cabinet had a. long session yesterday. Soire- tary Hay brought to the meeting practically nothing new relating to the situation. No response has been received to the President’s original suggestion to the powers, that they consent to the reference of the Vene- zuelan controversy to the arbitration of The Hague Tribunal, and no forâ€" mal request had been received tint the President act as arbitrator of the difficulty. Working With Rebels. s. Caracas, Dec. 24.â€".The Port of Core, which is surrounded on the land side by‘t-hoL-‘mVolutionists, is not blockadafi. In Caracas this fact is taken as proof of previous weir- tions that the British and German fleets are working in harmony with the revolutionists and not blockad- ing‘Coro, in order to allow the tree anti-m ot'Dutch schooner: from as fine sidewalks as are to be found in many larger towns than yours. They are a credit to you and a. work of economy for the ratepayers. You have put down a lot of sewers and by so doing have got ready to build permanent streets above them. Mr. Campbell remembered beingfl here six years ago. He had advised certain things regarding the streets then and because he had not heard of their being acted upon, he had‘ hesitated to come this time until. asked a second time ; thinking that} he might better go to other places that would benefit by his advice. He had found the roads here better'this time than on any previous visit ; they had improved. (Laughter). “I must say,” continued Mr. Camp-l beil that in many respects this town! has made encouraging progress and, is moving along pretty advanced‘ lines of improvement. I was very much pleased to see your large mile- age of granolithic walks : you have, Hr. Campbell reached town on the tore-noon train and after dinner was driven about the streets in company with the mayor, chairman of the Board of Works (Ald. O'Reilly) and Commissioner Chalmers. ' The mayor occupied the chair at the night meet- ing. _ . on any public question. For two hours in his own capable pungent and at times eloquent style the road commissioner discussed the subject that now, more than any other, de- mands the attention and appeals to the patriotism of every citizen. Un- der Mr. Campbell’s treatment, the subject of good streets is set on a higher plane than it occupies amid the common contentions over munic- ipal aflairs ; it takes on a. dignity be- coming to a. problem that holds a. leading place among those that de- termine the destiny of the town, and powerfully pleads for theaupport of those who have the interests 0! the town at heart. On Monday night a. fair audience heard Road Commissioner Campbell deliver as instructive and inspiring an address on street construction for this town as has ever been heard here And is Satisfied That 340,“ Will Give us Streets in Keeping With Our ' Other Modem Features [IE ADIIRES OUI WALKS LINDSAY’S LEADING STREETS .

Elect your commissioners who shall direct the expenditure of the money. . Let them get a good man to oversee the work. Hr. Campbellâ€"None from me. But do yourselves justice. Decide wheth- er you think you had still better go on scattering your money into the mudholes or adopt a system, make a good foundation and use your money to advantage. RETIRED FAW I have heard it said that as a rule men who have made their money and come to settle in town, vote against road improvement. I have 110%; d itso. Thesemenhavegenera *d a good deal of experience with refl- building, and take a deep interest in it in town. Mr. John McDonaldâ€"What guaran- tee have we that the money will be spent any better than before ? But, I do say, gent,emen: commence, commence: make a. start, vote some money. Is $40,000 too much ? I don’t know; I don’t think it is. You have spent $25,000 in the past 11 years on roads ; It has been largely wasted. If you raise $40, 000 your yearly payment will not be much ov- er $3, 000. You have been spending $5000 in the Board of Works : so that 82,000 win he left for walks and general repairs. Aid. Robsan asked some questions about the construction of roads. Mr. E. H. Hopkins objected to covering a. tile drain with sand. It would work into the joints. These drums should be solidly covaed above for they were intended to take only the water lrom below. Mr. Campbell said that 0! course the joints must be promted by sod or something to keep the fine deposit from getting in. I will come and help you whenever you need it and your streets can be put. into good condition . After a good start, it will not be hard to. go on with more streets. President Castro will leave the capital today for La Victoria, where the revolutionista under Gen. Mama Were red-nay detected by Govern- ment. fox-om. Mr. Campbell had looked 0313' the town to see what streets seemed to carry the bulk of the tramc. Besides the business part of Kent and south William streets, he had decided that Colborne street, King and Gwen. Willing) street north. Cambridge and Kent street mt most required build- ing. These bore a very large per- centage of the traffic. They should be built of good strong mandala The people of the town ought to com- bine to build the streets that need doing in the interest of trade even though they did not live on those streets. Only as these streets were kept good could the town prosper. and when the town prospered every- body in it was benefitted. Out near the boundary the .24 feet might but narrowed to 20. King and Queen; streets could both be‘ropaired as cheaplyaseithaone:ioru ‘ tramc were all directed onto one; that one would need to be built twice as expensively as either with the divided tramc. THE LIKELY COST To buy machinery and build these roads would cost about $40,000. They should be kept in good repair by constant but inexpensive attention. The roller should be put over them occasionally. c.-B. Boom Government. London.

It was im- portant to Lindsay that the streets leading to the station should leave a good impression on the visitor. A road built right and drained well must simply wear aWay: it will nevâ€" er break up. Mr. Campbell knew of streets laid 1'5 years ago that show no signs of breaking up.

Or two persons may have heads of equal size, but the quality of the one my be good and the other bad.
