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,: I At the conclusion of Mr, McLean's address, which was listened. ••to , with • close attention, . he was.

Was left to those who bad charge, of the •difierent department s The, opening or initial article was .gieenby, Mr. W. S. R. 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."'
