MeLean, Provincial En - gutter of litghways. Attractive and pleasant surround- ings have been desired and sought al- ter by mankind in every age, the world over. There has been through- out Ontario, of recent years, a heal - y toward civic improve- ment in keeping with the material progress of the country. Men are seeking to satisfy their taste for bet- ter surroundings.. With some, it is a personal desire for improvement ; others see in it a good business vestment. In either case it geows out of the fact that beauty attracts and ugliness repels. A town that has waterworks, sewers, parks, sub- stantial residences, and a well-built business section, well -kept lawns, wood walks, avenues of shade trees, land trimly kept streets is distinctly a better place for business and a more desirable place to live than is a town in which reverse conditions prevail. Canada is not many years away from pioneer conditions. The re- cent period of growth and develop- ment of towns and cities has .found us unprepared. The necessity for sanitary and other improvements has faced us with an array of require- ments that is, many cases, discourag- ing. We are apt to think ourselves alone in the predicament. But noth- ing could be farther from the truth. The fact is, that, throughout the world, the itnprovement of cities in all these respects is of comparatively recent origin. The modern idea of paving is scarcely half a century old; a century ago, the sewage of London ran on the streets in open gutters. Waterworks systems have grown up largely :sawe the invention of eteain power. One hundred years ago, the roads of England .net ttcotland now among the finest in the word, were in an increditahly 1id state, and the sanie is true of France, Ger- many, and other countries whose highways are on a par with those •of England. Improvement Possible in Every Com- munity. Of all possible works of improve- ment, the'streets of cities and towns call for most general attention. There is no work which, for the expenditure will make better returns in advanced. property values. The public streets constitute a system of parkways which every town possesses. There is absolutely no excuse for thestate of disorder in which they are 'so often left. • Street improvement does not neces- sarily imply their complete construc- tion with expensive roadways and pavements. The smallest village can have its streets graded, drained, and kept clean and neat at so low a, cost that neglect is inexcusable excerpt on the ground that the means of so do- ing are not generally understood. There are two phases of street work —the one implying little more than neatness, the result of good grading and draining with subsequent care the other reaching into the construc- tion of pavements of a more or less expensive type. The complexity of municipal ser - 'vices is nearly as great for a town as for a city. The city requires large works, but there is proportionately a great amount to spend upon. them. Towns require waterworks, sewers, sewage disposal, well designed streets but they have to be obtained for a less expenditure—and the greater economy very often demands propor- tionately greater skill. The planning of a town in all these respects should, as far as practicable, be undertaken. as one work—not a series of discon- nected sections. Just as a house is now planned with water service, waste -pipes, sewer connections, and electric wiring considered in •connecs tion with foundations, walls and par- titions, so the more. nearly a town's services can be dovetailed into the one system, will there• be less future expense when these are installed. The tearing up of pavements to lay sew- ers, water and gas mains is one of the chief results of unsystematic methods. Classification of Streets. Streets of a small town naturally fall into several classes as regards paving. Tbere istthe immediate ,busi- ness section, with roadway from sidewalk to sidewalk, where the best. pavement the town can afford should be laid. For this we may have a well-built broken stone road- way ; or preferably may look to the higher class of pavement, such as vitrified brick, asphalt block or con- erete. For main thoroughfares, en- tering a town with farm traffic, a eseiell built macadam roadway is a standard. Other streete, of still less importance, should at least be grad- ed and drained, looking to an ulti- mate coating with gravel or broken stone. Drainage of Streets. Before considering further the de- tails of street design it should be ,emphasieN1 that good drainage is es- sential for any class of improved street. Good drainage is the first principle of road -building of any kind. A clear understanding of drain- age and its influence on roads and pavemttts is essential to a skilful handling of this work. For this rea- son the improvement of streets can hardly be considered apart froth sew- el's. To pave streets—then to teat them up to lay sewers is not only wasteful in method ; but sowers are necessary for the efficient handling of storm water. The town with a good system of sewers has taken a valu- able step towards modern street itnt provement as a means of outletsfor drainage. Drainage should provide for surface and sub -soil water. That is, there should be gutters or open drains, with outlets, to carry' away etorneavatier and drainage from the roofs of houses; but further, by means of porous tile .draius, the wat- er line should be kept at least two feet below the grade of the roadvay. If a village or street does not re- quire an effective sewer system, the porous tile drains may be employed both for storm And sub -soil drain- age. Design of Streets. , By means of undergrgund drainage, the streets of towels may depart from the general plan of country roads, in which large open. drains and a high wade are so often necessary to pro- vide a bed of dry soil under the met- al surface. This is the distinguishing feature of town streets, that by a complete system of sewers and tinder - drains, the grade may be lowered, and shallow gutters take the place of open thane.. In the design of a town street in the business section, the roadway shotild be paved from sidewalk to sidewalk. The usual width of streete in Ontario is sixty-six feet. This provides for a roadway 40 or 42 feet wide, and walks on each side twelve or thirteen feet in width. This is the plan of Yonge street, Toronto, and is generally followed throughout the Province. For residential streets—or any street notrin the business sections,— a design which meets, with a 'reat deal of favour, consists of a road- way 24 feet wide, bordered on each side by a 6-ineli concrete curb. Be- tween the curb and the walk is a strip of sod about 6 feet wide; then the sidewalk 5 feet wide ; then 'the remainder of the allowance (9 feet 6 inches on a 66 foot street) is sodded and in appearance added to the depth of the lawn. When streets have beengraded and boulevarded in ,this way, the usual effect is .to cause the owners of private property to re- move fences,. improve their lawns, plant flowers, an get busy with the paint pot. Many residence streetsrtiA towns and cities are only 18 or ' '20 feet from curb to curb and traffic is not inconvenienced. With' a narrow roadway the cost of construction is less, maintenance is less,.and the ap- pearance of a street is improved by the wide boulevards. • Every care should be taeen to get the grade of a street•right. Tina. is the distinguishing 'point .lititweent a town street and .a country t•oad..- The crown of the roadway .should he no higher thanis necessary-eusually• no' higher, prefe•rahly lower, "than the side or tne. curb. To any OnO•driving along a street Of the high country road type, the houses look - low and "squatty," and . the' appearance ..of the street is in every way thlerioe. Tho building of a town' street then, involves considerable etcavation, which can usually be placed in, . the. boulevard or in -adjacent low-lying lots. The shorter the haul, the. - less the expense.. Having graded • the street, the *earth 'roadbed should be tile drained—theroughly; rolled, and it is then ready for the pavement. ' . Broken Stone .Roads. . • • For a, Macadam road; crushed stone of the best kind. obtainable - .in the locality will ordinarily be used Feld stone or miarrylimeetone are most common in Western ,Ontarie, Whilein the East, grain a, - gnefes"end trap may be had. • • rushed: • and screen- ed gravel may nh used. :Natural pit gratiel may be laid for a• foundation, and over this may .be spreada wears ing surface ot crushed. stone,; Or a . foundation of - large flake, stone; laid by hand androlled, gives good ser- vice. The 'depth • of consolidated. material should be; on town. streets, eight to 'En inches, on residence streets, it may be spread to a. uni- crease in thickness toward .the curb according to the molten -tents of traffic.. Whatevet material is usedt it should be thoroughly, consolidated form depth curb to curb, or may dc't by rolling. A- roller is an absolute necessity in making an economical and durable roadway for either town or country traffic. . . .- . Higher Class of. Pavements. Corning to -the •higher gtatic •of pave- ment form a central business sec- tion, the .small townts debarred from the use of sheet asphalt owing •to. the expensive plant heeded for . con- struction and repair. - Choice ill'w meet-haat ilyesbeetn•atteatetweetrevitelfied brick, asphalt blocks, westrumite, concrete, or a high class macadam. Apart from. rnaeadani, the` pave- ments are practically the same up to the surface • covering, That is, they all require the same concrete founda- tion 5 or 6 inches in, thickness, • and the same concrete curb and gutter. In order of first cost, prices have rang- ed, with concrete as cheapest ; then Westrumite, vitrified brick and as- phalt block. No one of these pave- ments can be said to be superior to the other in every respect. Whatever pavement is selected, the chief point is to see that only . first class mater- ial is accepted, that the concrete foundation is good, .and.. that work- manship in laying is what it should be. Samples of conerete pavement may be seen in Windsor, Chatham, and to some extent in Toronto. Asphalt block may be examined in Windsor, Seaforth, Stratford, $t. Catharines, Guelph or Toronto, and vitrified brick is largely used in Toronto, and may be seen in St, Thomas, Guelphrehats ham or Petrone,. Westrumite is a comparatively new asphaltic pave- ment in Canada and -may be,seen in Brantford or Guelph, Bitting& is a pavement with a relined tar base, and is used in a number of cities, Toronto, Chatham, London and else- where, but like sheet asphalt requires an expensive plant and skilled labor to construct and repair, so that it is not adapted to small towns.: Good samples of ordinary 'macadam may be seen in Toronto, •Galt, St. Thom.' as, Xingstoe, Belleville, Ottawa and other towns and cities. No attempt is made in any case to give a com- plete list of the places in which any of these pavements are used. Coen- eils baying matters of Street im- provement before them osbould visit a number of these places in order that different methods and materials ;may be compared, and the most suitable adopted. Curbing and Gutters. Concrete curbing is growing in pop- ularity as a means of narrowing roadways and protecting the boule- vards. It may be used on an earth xoadway or any cless of street. Com- bined with a concrete gutter, •they are a necessity on any of the higher class of pavements. Tbe cost of cur- bing, as with everything else, varies, but is usually about 25 or 30 cents per lineal foot, with 40 or 50 cents per lineal foot for concrete curb and gutter. Intluence of Citizens. Too much dependence is placed on councils in municipal matters. Couns ens can proceed only so far as the wishes or knowledge of the citizens will permit. The improvements of this kind that have marked the towns and cities of England, France, Germany and the United States have not been the production of councils alone, but by a united effort of the people working in local "Municipal Improvement Societies," or other similar organizations. Councils can be stimulated and supported by the co-operation of citizens in ,this way, and it is only by such united Wort that old and antieue,Ved methods can be replaced by, effective modern syss tents. Management and Cost No hard and fast price can be stated for any clash of roadway. Locs al conditions as to. labour and mater- ial are the ruling factors. The syss tem of management in any case, may double the cost or reduce it materials ly. To get results that will be satis- factory, every town undertaking street, improvement, should employ an engineer. • If there is not a local man, then one who has made a success of this work in his own town. It is the work of Abe engineer to map out the drainage; give grades, prepare speci- fications, and in geeesal give seen expert attention as wilt produce uni- form results. The patch worl . that so many towns in Ontario haie been Carrying on to save an engineer's foe, is simply deplorable. To save $15 or $50, councils are easily losing from ten to one hundred times these amounts in results.' Every town and villago should: at least .have a definite plan di improvement mapped out un- der an engineer's' advice so that each succeeding coencil can work en, a -uniform system from year to year, such as Will in a term of years, ac- cumulate into .a complete improve- ment Of the town,. .

One of the early settlers of this district passed over to the great be- yond on Monday of last week in the person. of William. Wilson Sr., of the 4th con. of Hullett. Although a suf- ierer frozn, rheumatism for some years, Mr. Wilson was only sick three days, death coming suddenly at the last, being due to a giving way of the system under its weight of years. Mr. Wilson was born in Ber- wickshire, Scotland, eighty-eight years and two months ago. In 1843 he came to Canada, settling first at Galt. After a short stay there he moved to Goderich for a couple of years, and over sixty-two years ago he took up, land in the township of Hullett. • Early itt life deceased was marded to Lillian McLean, daughter a the late John McLean of Ashfield, who died many years ago. He later mar- ried Miss Jane Beattie, sister of Mr. Andrew Beattie of McKillop, who predeceased him about seen years. For many years, and up to the time of his death, he was an elder of Sea - forth Presbyterian church, and was a life member of the Upper Canada Bible Society. In politics he was a Liberal. He is survived by two sons and one daughter, John M. of Sea - forth and William and Mrs. Stewart on the homestead. The remains were laid in their last resting place in the Maitlandbank cemetery on Weduesday of last week. The following is the report of S. S.
