You cannot compete success-,
fung without good roads.
• --The Provincial Engineer of Highways to Clinton Citizens.
A largely attended meeting of eiti-
ZellS was held in the town hall. on
Monday evening to listen to an ad-
dresson. good roads by Mr. W. A.
-McLean el the Ontario Department of
Public Works. with which he has been
connected for the past fifteen years.
He has taken over the duties of
"Good Roads" Campbell, who recent-
ly retired to eider another sphere,
and as Provincial Engineer of High-
ways will •carry on the good Work.
Mr. McLean dealt with the subject'
in an exhaustive manner, saying in
part
t
Oneof the great essentials. to the
prosperity of this, or any other coun-
try, is that produce may reach its
•therket in the easiest and. cheapest
• manner possible. Good made pay,
As I understandeet, leathers are ,in
a somewhat serious state in Clinton.
The country roads leading to town
-are in fairly good condition, but in-
side the corporation very bad, You,
therefore, find that - some of your
trade has been ,cut of.
For forty years you bave been, ex-
pending money on your streets, and
now you. haven't inueli to show for it;
If yeti had started building system-
atically ' twenty • years ago you
would ,today - have had, good roads
and at a scarcely greater expenditure
than what you have. incurred. •
It
would have been value received. •
It is well to have 'a survey . •made
of the streets by aa engineer so as
gtoraldrainvg.ea definite plan for' drains and
You mast look to the. future ;. the
patchwork system is elayed. out. •
Some plates build half a mile each
year, a, good plan had you started
•earlier: I 4o not urgeincreased ex-
penditure, but there are times _when
it pays, Are you in that condition
here
lls'(?•lieve You could build 1:000 . feet
of modern' pavement on your • front
street . and • macadamise the • four
streets leading into the town for
$15,000'. My suggestion is that this
be built this year and that debentur-
es be issued for the amount required..
What a road costs depends some-
what upon who builds it. One man
m.ay spend twice as much as another
and yet get no better results.
Gooddrainage is required• for pod
roads.
Properly drained and crowned a
Macadam road will last a life -time at
the minimum of cost for repairs.
I would make the underdrains 5b
feet deep and, not use a smaller tile
than five melt.
Macadam, made from "hardheads"
will stand the traffic better, but
limestone makes a more perfect bond
and will stand the ordinary wear and •
Auer.
A macadam • roadbed Sixteen feet
wide will answer the purpose.
A modern system ef roads has . a
splendid effect upoh a town as a
whole. It causesproperty owners to
fix up their places. Tbek paint their
houses, lay out lawns and beautify
them with flowers and shrubbery.
The town council should not be ask-
ed to de all the 'work. In some plac-
es Municipal Improvement Societlee •
assist and the people all take a deep
interest in the question,:

Holmes, 'who occupied the ' position of
Editor -in -ditch: and whose remarks
were brief and. to the point. The
principal editorials were given by
Messrs, J. W. Treleaven and J. Hart -
bey. For his leader, Mr. Treleaven
chose as a subject "Problems for
Younger Canada." Ile took up three
problems, that of Conservation, As,
simutation and the maintaining of
High Ideals of Culture and Religion,
and delivered a most excellent ad-
dress. It is' the kind .of. talk ,that
younger Canada, should, -not-ohly •be
bearing, but heeding, ii. thia age when
most people talk :too entich and think
too little, • With regerdl conserva-
tion, MI:Treleaven. said that the Vest
resources of Canada did net belong to
eureetenfegenerationhabonersb utestos
those who come after, and that it,
was our duty, not only not to utter-
ly deplete and exhaust these resour-
ces, hut to hand them on anhanced in
values 19 the oncoming generation.
With regard to the assimulation of
the foreigners who come to our shor-
es, he •thought tittle could be • done
with the grown melt and women, as
their characters wete already formed,
but in the children lay Canada's
hope. As a teacher, enthusiastic with
his profession, Mr. Treleaven gave
the school precedence over the church
or any other force, as an assimeaat-
ing influence, and said that the school
play ground, even more than the
echoct room,. would bring the children
nearer together and serve as an as -
simulating influence. Regarding the
maintaining of High Ideals of Culture
and Religion, the speaker said, "Our
fathers came to this sountry when it
was new to hew out n home for
themselves and families. Pew of
them pessessed any education or cul-
ture, but they aeon built the log
school -house, which Was also used for
religious services, their aim being
to give their children a little better
education than they themselves had
reeeived„ and they reared their famil-
ies in the exercise of Wintry, thrift,
honesty and truthfulness. And •we
can do no bettor for our children,"
said Mr. Treleaven, "than follow the
example of our fathers- in, giving them
n little better education than we Cavo
1fad ourselves, hold before them high
ideals of culture and religion, and
teach them the simpIe, homely vit.
tues Of industry, thrift, honesty and
truthfulness."'
