delegates, presented claims to the
Hon. G. S. Henry, provincial minis
ter of public highways, at a meeting
held in the council chambers of the
public library, Mitchell, on Wednes
day last, for the inclusion of the
road between Mitchell and London
in the provincial highways system.
Mayor A. W. Mutton, of Mitchell,
welcomed the government represen
tatives and the ’delegations, which
were composed of mayors, reeves,
deputy-reeves and councillors of
respective municipalities concerned-
The Hon. G. S. Henry, who was
accompanied by the Hon. J. D. Mon
teith, provincial treasurer, in his re
ply to the request said that he was
always glad to get the views of the
different communities with regard
to their work, such as expressed by
the gathering at Mitchell, as it per
mitted the department to get valu
able data showing that the commun
ities were with them and thus help
ed them to come to a decision easier.
He stated that they were trying to
follow the trend of traffic and care
for the major travelled highways
first. Last year the province had
built 240 miles of road, and this
year it was building 20 0 miles; and
that by the end of 19 29, all cities in
Ontario with the exception of Owen
Sound, would be connected with
good highways. He welcomed
delegates, and promised them
serious consideration/
A. A. Colqulioun, M.L.A., and
Irvine, ex-M.L.A.., as well as
presidents of the Chambers of C
merce of Mitchell, Palmerston and
Listowel, also spoke to the gather
ing. Following the meeting, the
delegates conducted a tour over the
highway in question, after which a
banquet was tendered to the pro
vincial ministers at Listowel.
The plan -which was presented to
the minister was that of continuing
the present provincial highway from
Palmerston, Listowel, Moncton to
Mitchell through, "to. Russeldglq,
Kirkton to Whalen corner, through
Biddulph to connect with the Strat
ford- St. Marys highway at a point
just east of Elginfield,
Mr. Henry was at Stratford the
same day and declared that No. 7,
highway, which runs from Sarnia to
Stratford, through Arkona, Ailsa
Craig and St. Marys, and then on to
Kitchener aud Guelph, will ultimate
ly all be paved.
At present, the road is gravelled
from a few miles east of Sarnia to
St. Marys with pavement the rest
of the way to Guelph. Paving op
erations are now in progress, and
were intended to conclude for this
season at the juncture of the Lon
don road.
Municipalities from there to Strat
ford and including Arkona, Ailsa
Craig, Parkhill, St. Marys and
Stratford thought that this would
divert too much traffic to London,
and accordingly they petitioned Mr.
Henry to continue the pavement at
ihort distance north towards
