Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Sirrs Mourn Loss of Eleven-year-old Son. ' Mr. J. W. Ewen of Ewen and Son had been at the mill about midnight, and everything was satisfactory, but when he arose about 5.30, the rise in the river at the Garafraxa Street bridge convinced him that some- thing was amiss. His singlehanded attempts at clearing the brush were futile, and he hurriedly got a gang of men together in an endeavor to lift it, but without success. Finally the weight of water proved too muc l for one of the stringers, and it gave way. and Mr. Ewen and his son, Douglas, narrowly escaped being thrown into the river. It was finally decided that the only procedure was to cut the. centre post and let the planks and other limhers down the stream, which was done. Last Friday morning about six o'elouk. the western gate of the Mc- Keclmie dam went out when a quan- tity of brush floated down the river and wedged so tightly that a gang of men were employed for upwards of an hour before the water could he turned down the stream, and then only by sawing out the centre post of the gate and allowing it to go down with the current. The spring floods in this vicinity this your had, up to this timo, done no damage. and so serious trouble was lookod for until Friday morning.

It. otl‘ its property near the pumping station, and though we understand the rail- way company had been notified of the danger, it had not been removed, with the result that when the river rose during the night, the whole mass came down the stream and wedged itself against the (lam, hack- ing the river up for a considerable distance and threatening to carry away the whole dam. GREY ASSISTANT GOES TO NEW LISKEARD JOB DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, At the regular band practice of tho Durham Citizens’ Band on Tues- «lay night.

EXPLAINS!) GOVT. TOWNSHIP ROAD SYSTEM This plan, the speaker said, had been adopted after an exhaustive study of the subject, which demon- strated that the old statute labor system was obsolete, and the town- ships received no fair returns for the money expended. Under the new system. with regularlv appoint- ed supeiintendents the townships., working under the provincial de- partment. would be able to build better roads at less expense than heretofore. To prove this assertion, Mr. Hawes -ead letters from the eouneils of armouth and Dere- ham Townships which had abolished statute labor several years ago and which besides building more and better roads, had materially re- dueerl the tax rate.

Owing to the short time at our disposal. we aim unablo to go into HIP address in full. but hope in the war futurn, possibly next. issun, to give a more cnmprohmisim report. Mr. Hawes very decisively stated that there was positively no chance of any township’s getting the gov- ernment’s thirty per cent subsidy that did its roadwork under the old statute labor system, but said it was not too late yet for townships who wished to share in the government’s new plan of roadmaking.

Hawes of the Provincial Highways Department on the new system of roadwork inaugurated this year by the Ontario Government. As Mr. Hawes’ address was one of instruc- tion to township officials in the ap- pointment of superintendents, the policy of roadmaking and the re- quirements demanded by the gov- ernment. before the thirty per cent subsidy was given. Bentinck town- ship was really the only one inter- ested. although the representatives of the other townships present must have been favorably impressed with the knowledge gained.
