The commitsion will , submit to the Government a plan of road construction for the province, " and then, it is expected, will be placed in control of the work of building mp a modern highway system, Io making the announcement: of the action of the Ministry at the close of the meeting, Sir James Whitney , said: "Charles A. Me- « garth, C.E.,, William A. McLean, C.E., and A.M. Rankin, Esq., have been appointed commissioneré to investigate and study all matters re- lating to the construction and main ténance of public roads and high- ways, and for such purpose to visit such localities as they may see fit ; to note the results obtained by dif- ferent systems, routes, sehemes and methods of construction and main- tenance, as well as the methods of fuaneing the same, and to report the public toads 'and highways in dn the Province of Ontario." Working iN THE Nort: dn the session of 1912 the Legis lature provided lor the expenditure $5,000,000 in the construction and ' improvement of the foads of the © unorganized districts, and that work has since been carried on briskly. * At the last session of the Assembly jit was intimated in the Speech from ithe Throne that the Administration Jwas net forgetful of the importance of having in those parts of Ontario , which have been Jong settled good ; roads by which the farmers could team their produce to points of . shipment and, communicaté "one with another. "The Ministers reals 1zed the importance of highways as art of the transportatio t fl Pp portation system of on "ithe cofintry. _ "Later the Prime Minister an- nounced the intention of the Gov- ernment: to undertake the work at an early date, and it was estimated ~ that the expéuditure in Old Ontario would amojint to between five and ten million dollars.

Dr. Coates, theother day; én route to attend an urgent profes: stonal call on the west side of Reach had the misfortune to meet with a somewhat serious accident. He was proceeding along in his automobile at an ordingsry rate of speed, when from sorhe cause the wheels slued inthe" sand causing the auto to upset pinning the Doc- tor beneath it and retaining him there until assistance arrived. He was conveyed to Uxbridge where surgical and medical aid was ren- dered. He is around again and will soon be as good as new. His superior physical powers doubtless saved him from greater injuries than an ordinary man would have received under similar circuristan- ces. £7 EXCURSION :-- As YET, the th ams of our issue of this week--it.is under the auspices of the South Ontario Farmers' and Women's Institite--to Toronto and Niagara Falls on Tuesday nest, August sth.
