Mr. Campbell said he was glad to learn them the question oi better reeds had been under serious consideration along the line referred to by Mr. Grahamâ€"he frequently observed it was almost a. waste or time to discuss improved rendinsking with the peeple of some municmslities. He also iound that very often read Improvement is looked upon as a mere .4 section of more money-that unless there was plenty of the latter it was useless to think a! bettering the nude. There was an impression in the minds of many ihmt country roads were built by statute labor. but is it not a fact that large money grants are made by nearly every rural municipality? In the last 10 years, according to the returns furnished the government, nearly $30,000.000 had been spent on the rows of the province, in addition to 10,000,000 deys' statute labor. The expenditure ct thls enormous sum should have produced better roads then we have. He had made a careful esti- mate. and could say that he would be willing to take the 845,000,000 thus ex- pended in ten years and guarantee to mscsdsmize every road in the province.

How to Raise Money for Roads. It was suggested by a number of citizens at the close of the meeting I‘hursday week held by the commissioner of roads, Mr. Campbell, that it would be well to lay before our readers a statement of the 1 amount that could be raised by way of debentures If a part of the present road allowance was set nside from year to year to pay the interest and sinking fund. We have had the following statement prepar- ed. The calculations have been somewhat hurriedly made. but we expect that they will be found to be correct. We have taken that one thousand dollars is the sum set aside to pay interest and provide a sinking fund; if five hundred dollars were set aside then only half the amounts could be raised. and if two thousand dollars were set aside double the amounts could be raised. We have had one then- saud dollars taken as the yearly sum to no set aside, in the belief that it was the easiest sum from which other calculations eould be deduced. We have had three statements prepared for three diflerent periods of time. In the first statement the rate of interest has been taken as 4 per cent.. and the periods over which the debentures would run as ten, fifteen and twenty years respectively. In the second ‘ statement the periods are the same. 3“ l the periods are still the same. but the rate . of interest is five per cent: Statement No. 1, Bate 4?"
