Only recently a family was discovered living in two small rooms over a store. At one time they had occupied a comfortable home but the father took sick and had to give up work. With the savings all gone, they were forced to sell the fur- niture to buy food. When the man was found to be a consumptive, this was the opportunity of the Muskoka Free Hospital to bring relief so that not only would the stricken husband have a winning chance for life, but more desirable still, the wife and chil- dren should be removed from danger of contracting the disease. Under skil- ful guidance the home was cleaned up and the family temporarily provided for. It is now reported that the patient is doing well, with every chance of recovery. This is the great work carried on by the Muskoka Free Hospital which is now appealing for help. is frequently revealed in these war times even in this well-to-do Province. Hard enough to be poor-still worse to be sick and poor. “We spent $600,000 under that ori- ginal agreement with the city," stated Mr. Henry, "each of the three inter- ests contributing $200,000. In 1915 a new act was, passed by the Ontario Legislature granting more generously to the scheme, and under this the province pays forty per cent. towards construction and twenty per cent. to- wards the maintenance of the improv- ed highways in the county system The balance of the cost is borne equal- ly by the city and the county. We now work under a, provincial statute, and our board is composed of five members, Controller T. Foster and ex- Alderman D. Spence representing the city, Mr. ll. Pugsley and TV. Keith re- presenting the county, and G. S. Henry, the odd member, mutually agreed upon.” ThE W) STORY OF THE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE In 1833 the government, under the home district administration, institut- ed a system of toll gates on what was then known as the York roads, and this method continued for 63 years. In this same years the sum of $4,000 was spent on Yonge Street, $2,000 on Dundas Street; and four years later, after Toronto had become a city,$100,- 000 was set aside for the Toads in the home district, which included the pre- sent Counties of Peel and York. After another few years the Weston road was macadamized. In 1864 the York roads system was purchased from the government for the sum of $72,500 on a twenty-year debenture at six per cent. interest, and only two years later again the receipts from the tolls were approximately $30,000. _ Discussion is Started In June, 1899, W. H. Pugsley start- ed a discussion which resulted in a convention of municipal representa- tives being held in Toronto; and an- other milestone in the history of good roads was passed in 1901, when the Ontario Legislature passed an act to assistin the improvement of public highways. In 1904 the county coun- cil of York submitted a by-law, but it was turned down; and in November, 1906, another attempt was made, but again it failed . Finally a few years later a special act was passed con- stituting the electoral divisions of East and West York, and following this a joint meeting was held in Cooksville, representing York County, the City of Toronto,the Toronto Board of Trade and the Ontario Motor League, at which resolutions were passed recommending the formation of a commission, which undertook the improvement of the main thorough- fares leading into Toronto. This re- sulted in the formation of a highway commission, which began work in 1911. The good roads schedule was composed of 110 miles; and the com- mission appointed E. A. James, C. E, as chief engineer, who has since then been responsible to the board for the work. An interesting address was given yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the York Pioneers in the Normal School by G. S. Henry, who sketched the history and development of the good roads system in York Township. He took his audience back to the be- ginning of the roads, when under the French regime there was a surveyor- general known as grand voyer, who had charge of the road development. In 1760 General Murray instituted the statute labor system, which still I'e- mains in many parts of this province. JJnder this system a certain amount of labor was levied against each par- cel of real property, adjusted accord- ing to a. schedule which increased with the amount. In 1793 the justices of the peace, he stated, were highway commission- ers, and had power to warn out the residents to do their annual labor. It was in 1777 that General Sir Guy Carleton appointed military surveyors, whose work was the basis of the mili- tary roads instituted by Sir Jno. Sim- coe in 1791. In 1794 Yonge Street and Dundas Street were partly opened as military roads, While the land abutting on Yonge Street was alloted to set- tlers, one ot the conditions being that they were to clean, stump and grade that portion of the roads adjacent to their property.
