It is simply Ontario County at least $100,000 in the past fen years. = - Ontario County has spent in cash onitoads during the past ten years, at least "$500,000. Of this 'amount 1$300,000 has been speat on the lead- ing roads of the County. Had we been ! under the provincial Good Roads , System, the Government would have paid at least $100,000 .of the $300,- | 000. | As Mr: Mclean pointed out, the {offer of the Government 1s so generous that many people regard it with sus- { picion. They cannot believe that the 'money would be given by the Gov- ernment to the Lounty, but in some unaccountable manner they figure that the Government is simply giving the bonus as a bait to lure us into under- taking an immense burden of taxation Let us look into this matter a bit, [It 1s estimated that Ontario €ounty 'spends $50,000 cash each year on roads. Of "this amount at least $30,000 is spent-on "roads that would be assumed by the County under the Good Roads System. And for this expendiiure, we have less to show than we ought to have, and we get no assistance from the Government, Under the Good Roads System, "it is suggested that $70,000 be spent annually on the roads now costing $30,000. The opponents of the sys- tem will at once say, ""That's' just what we always claimed --we'll pay twice as mfuch for our roads as we have been paying." Let us look at the figures again and see what ground the opponents of the system have for making this statement According to the assessment of the County of Ontario County 134 mills on the dollar would raise the sum of $34,500." To this might be added a debenture of $7,500, making $42,000 in all raised by the County. Then the Ontario Government !steps in and gives a subsidy of 1 $28,000, 'bringing, the total amount to be spent on the leading roads of Ontario County up to $70,000 annu- ally, the County contributing $42,000 'of that amount. : What then would be the actual ad- ditional cost to Ontario County if the Cos Sdagrave, but it has cost the County |" aN 4f Ontario just $1200.00 .more' than .. ne i; * SE Wap 1S wi) IHN 1 » STANDARD: BANK * olpnit fy They i be. + SL 7 OF CANADA. « .. ri va : MEAD OFFICE + TORONTO - Your surplus earnings in our Savings Department earn inter- est at current rate.
