There is a very- common impression among the general masses of the peo- ple that macadamized roadWays are all very well for country highways, but that for town streets, 9. higher (and more costly) grade of paVing material is necessary. This opinion. so adverse'to macadam, has doubt- less arisen from the common prac- tice of terming a “macadam” road any street or road allowance that has had an irregular layer of gravel or stone dropped along the centre of it. This was somewhat the idea peo- ple had of roads before the time of‘ macadam,_tne main feature of whose roadmaking, however, was a firm, nyielding subsoil maintained in that condition by a thorough system 1' sub drainage, and 3 Covering of stone impenetratable to moisture, and rhaped so as to shed water quickly , o the gutters. All kinds and classes 3of paving have their proper place, and, in its proper place, there is none more serviceable and capable bi cadam One place In which macadam can be rightly employed is in paving cerâ€" tain town and city streets, those of a residential character. not subjected to tt‘aflic so great as to r:mler the maintenance of macadam excessively expensive. A well kept macadam driveway is in keeping’ with beautiful- ly kept boulevards, laWnS and_ shade trees, the characteristics of a resiâ€"_ dential street; it has a cool appear- ance; the dust can be readily kept down: by sprinkling, oiling or applyâ€" ing tar prepared for the purpose. A comparison of- macadam with asphalt in point of utility and beauty will not result unfavorably to the former. am roads" cried down on aCCount of the expcnse of “keeping up.” Yes, and do we wonder. when there is general- ly several times as much surfacing material applied to them as there would be any occasion for, had the construction of them commenced in the manner in which a real macadam road is built. The idea seems to pre- vail that the gravel or stone con- stitute the road, while in a. properly constructed road it corresponds mere- ly to a metal roofing on a building, i. e., acts as a. wearing surface and waterproof covering for the road. Proper surfacing or g. macadam road should not cost more than 15c. or 200 a square yard, while in a great many towns it is being made to cost 50c. and 60c. The people who condemn macadam are in almost every case the people who have never tried and don’t know what macadam roads are. Since the cost is a large cc‘msider- ation in the selection of a pavement, some little discussion on that point wouid do no harm.

The general health of the prisoners was good with the exception of one man. Work was 'not given to the inmates as it should be, as there was none to give jwhen there were mam}! prisoners. A ' plentiful supply of clothing was on Ehand and the cost of food per head 5 was calculated to be 10 1â€"3 cents. The {heating system was not considered at all efficient, and a new one was re- , commended. 75 per crnt should he charged against the property on purely residential streets, and Where it was a main thoroughfare a charge of 60 per cent be paid by the property fronting and 40 by the town. The municipality that is suffering for want of good roads would do well to follow somewhat similar advice to that givenrto the little boy at the tea table when he was told to “start with A bread and work up to cake.” Let it improve all its streets on a sound, common sense, economic ba* sis and the consequent prOSpcrity of the municipality will. warrant spend- ing money in costly improvements. ’ Street improvement in towns is a matter to which municipal engineers have not becn called upon in the past to give very much attention, nor have the advantages of well built and tastefully (lesivnrd streets receiv ed sufficient consider ration from muâ€" nicipal councils or the public gener- ally. To discover the best ways and :means to do away with the existing :shapeless and badly constructed ‘roads which disfigure the majority of gOntario towns, and to replace them Iwith works which will give a park like appearance, is a problem worthy of study, and in its solution the en- l gineering profession must take an ac- tive part. The first step is to teach citizens what good streets are; when the public and councillors know this they will know that the engineer's ’services and advice must. be necessary .for their construction. When a man knows how and why a horse should "be shod, he goes to a blacksmith, to the advantage of the horse, the own- ,er and the blacksmith. one indeed) on residential streets is to narrow the width of he drive- way. It has born found in some of the‘large American cities that on the majority of residential streets, a width of 18 feet is ample to accom- modate. Any greater width would inâ€" volve needless expense. It is only On streets approaching the business sec- tion or on which there are car lines that a greater width of driveway is necessary. A broad driveway may probably be very handsome, but so also are broad stretches of nicely sodded boulevards, ornamented with shade trees. Thursday afternoon. The committee on county property met this afternoon at two o’clock, with Dep.-reeve Lewis presiding. The usual supply of smokeless coal for the court house from Flavelles Ltd. was 0. k’d. Economy, a necessary part of the subject, must be measured by the standard of services rendered, as compared with the ultimate, not the primary cost. A town is criticized from the appearance of its streets, and no municipality can afford. to leave the public highways in a state of- neglect. The condition of. the streets in the majority of the 'towns in Ontario is neither in keeping with true economy nor with an age of ciâ€" vilizaticn. USE PRISON LABOR Different suggestions were made as to work for prisoners, and one made by Dep.â€"Reeve Babcock was'of merit. He suggested that a. number of moulds for making cement tile and blocks be purchased and the material placed in the yard so that the pris- oners Could manufacture them.

The law has been looked up on request of Mr. Benson, whether was proper to employ the priso 95 suggested, and it was found to be within the statutes. SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS His Honor Judge McMillan had deâ€" scribed an improvement that could be made at the court house which Would avoid the trouble the men at the bar have in reaching their var- ious tables and desks on account of a crowded courtroom. A door put in the wall near the rear at the east side of the room would permit egress to the hall outside. A motion by Messrs. Devitt and Dobson to have this done, was approved by the coun- cil. The shutting down of the electric power at the Falls on Sunday, and slight variations during the wee caused trouble at the automatic pump at the court house furnace well. This well takes care of Water that filters' in the cellar and woula otherwise put out the furnace fires. The cellar is below the street drain level. The small electric motor that does the pumping is liable to be burned out when automatically con- nected, so the well waé suggested to be enlarged and then have the care- taker turn on the current as needed. The matter was left in the hands of the chairman. Mr. Lewis received the annual grant of $50 for chairman of his commit- tee.

He believed that they must have air. Entrance examinations cost the county about $184.00 for examiners, etc. Inspector Stevens spoke of the dif- ficulty of obtaining teachers especial- The Educational Committee of the county council met at 3 o’clock with Reeve Mulligan in the chair. Oflicial letters were received from the Minister of Education. approving of the continuance in office of In- spectors W. H. Stevens and G. E. Broderick. The new regulations make it necessary that inspectors be ap- proved before they can continue their duties in 1913. Mr. Mulligan said that they did not need air as they obtained the conâ€" stituents of air by passing the water through their gills. Dr. Simms explained the chem‘ctry of water, and showed why holes cut in the ice might be beneficial. Mr. Bottum spoke of the fish and game association receiving contradic- tory requests concerning the different fish of some locality. Netting suck- ers had been tried, and it was found that 'lunge and bass were taken thus illegally. It had been tried at Bob- caygeon, and found not satisfactory. The matter was found dropped by the titotion of Reeves Bottum and Bab- cock. The House of Refuge was becoming more and more to be a place for in- curables instead of the aged and un- provided for. 15 persons had been taken in since June to November. LEFT PROPERTY TO COUNTY An occupant of the House of Re Inge, who recently died, left some land in Bobcaygeon to the house of Refuge and it will likely be disposed or by auction or tenders. The board of management, .through the motion of Reeves Graham and Tolmie will be given power to sell the property. Mr. Bottum and Mr. Devitt described the lot and said it was assessed at $350. DEARTH OF TEACHERS FOR COUNTY SCHOOLS TUBERCULAR PATIENT A tubercular patient from the mu- nicipality 0i Somerville had been sent to the Musko‘xa sanitarium and they had to pay it $64.40. Would the county bear part of the expense ? asked Reeve Morrison. If the person had been sent to the hospital insta‘ad of the sanitarium it would have cost nothing as a hospital is compelled to accept a. patient without a communi- cable disease, or lose their grant from the government. A Babcockch- Kee motion wished to turn it down. An amendment to pay 40 per cent by Morrison-Southern, and another am- endment to the latter to leave it over to January 1913 by the War- den‘and Mr. Tolmie were put. The latter was adopted with the chair- man's vote. Reeve Varcoe said it was the only way to keep corn properly, and al- though costly would be there for all time. The question had been serious- ly considered, and the silo was the best thing to do. The committee en- dorsed the action.’ A motion of $300 for the Warden, by Reeves Tolmie and Varcoc was readily carried. HOUSE OF REFUGE REPORT The House of Refuge report showed excellent upkeep throughout and tne new silo is looked upon as a. valu. able addition. A shower bath for men was instituted. Reeve Devitt said he had built the silo as they needed a place to store corn and also work for the men to do.
