Met'suslaud Irvine, M. L. A. for Perth South, speaking be. fore the Highways Ada taory Board held at Use court house yesterday af- ternoon, the Government does not pur- pose Wilding auy more new high- ways. lgh- wa)•s. "Use economy" was the key word at prevent, he stated, and In the per- iod of depression witch followed the war unwise spending was not to be countenanced. Mr. Irvine also said Ise believed It was the intention of the Government to bring all roads to a more uniform Lasts. Ile could see 11', use in making Provincial highways at the expense of municipal roads. The speaker was mud iu favor of the work of the 'advisory hoard and be- lieved it wee a tine way of getting at what the people wanted. He advised those present to deliberate individu- ally as well as collectively on the highways system. Each had natural wants bun It was better to take the broader view he pointed out. The general oplulon of the repre- sentatives from Perth, Oxford and Huron counties who addressed the board was that a tax on gasoline and autemdiUe Urns would put the cost of maintaining the roads ou those who used them. It was felt by all who touches on the subject that torch a tax would be a fair one. According to A. 1.. Squire, the chairman of the board, the amount of gasoline need for commercial pur- pawe•s, outside of automobiles, was lees than three per cent, and no lu- Jusl�le would toe dune to anyone by Stich •,•tax. Iu iolrod0eltlg the object of the comu?tltee s Investigation at the morning session, Mr. Squires explain- ed that 11 was the hps• of the ensconces to gather information dur- ing the tour of the Province "thick would form a basin for made legisla- tion at the next neenion of the House. lie wanted) to aee a road policy which wouhl ensure equitable distribution of the coot of the highways between the Province and the counties and townships. He explained that the committee wished to discover also what type of road was wanted. Oppose Concrete Reads William Scott, representing the Perth county sonnets, opened the dis- cussion. He was very much opposed to the construction of concrete roada or roads of similar nature. They were tun expeulive. A good crushed stone. *cud, not a macadam read, was all the people could afford, he felt. Mr. Squire; Intimated that there *as a movement in various parte of the provWsir to group Into • cines the county -Provincial roads, the coat of which is .metained on the basis of Imp per tent. by the Province and 40 per cent. by the county, and the county roads. the cost of which le pro- vided on the hale of 40 per cent. by the I'rovllee and 60 per cent. by the comity. Mr. Scott thought that this would bo a goad move, particularly If the Province should pay 00 per cent. on the entire new group. Mr. Squires iedutetl out that if the change was made the divi- sion of the cost between Province and evltuty would probably be on an even iasis. Mr. Scott approved of such a proposal. A. A. Colquhoun, Reeve of Hibbert tow11Rhlit, vigorously urged that the Province al Id always consult the county councils on their l'rovinclal highway projects. "1 certainly feel ,that the Pro- vince rovinee should either shoulder • pester share of Mho cost of Pre- rinds! rovindal highways, or give the emus- ties tw -ties some vote or voice when con- struction oo-struction .f highways la propos- ed," be aald. "Tie county is often loaded up with road expenditures which it has not been given op- portunity to approve or disap- prove." Mr. Colquhoun explained that the Provinces bill to Perth county for road contetruetiom has been annually Inereaaing and yet the county has no voice in settling the promotion or rotates of highways. Should Take Over Road Meters. $$eott and Colquhoun em- phasized that the traffic on the coun- ty-Provinets 1 road from Elgiefield north through MltehpM and Ll,tnwel to Teviiddale, linking up two main Provinc•lal highways• warranted its being taken over as Provincial high- way. J. F. McQuaid. of McKillop town- ship, was then called to spestk on be- half of Huron county. He said that he was by no *means clamoring for more i'rovincial highways. "We feel." he said. "that under county emperviulon and control we ean get better work and cheaper work on the roads end at the .sl me time keep most of the expenditure within our own county. We would rather add to onr road system b7 cotmty-Provincial made." Mr. M,Quald voleed the wish of the eonnty to have two of the county marta which rnn from the lake to an easterly dtrecUou taken over es coun- ty -Provincial mads. One o; throe road/41m that from (:rand Benet to Row• aeldale sad the other from Antherly to !Anhwei. Mr. McQuaid armed very strong- ly a revision of Hite automobile license schedule M 1111•t the users of truths and heavy vpMelea worts pay a !taken share of the rest of the reale. He arrgppe4iad that a tax en Urea might be feaa- ble. 1.. F.. Peterenn, Warden of Oxford eoanty. urged the neceasit.y of taking care of the hae•k rads. • "etre should not forget the men on the back road," he said. "A Provincial ur touuty road eubaueeaa the value of the fertile trontlug un it, but it doer not affect the value of the farm* on the back roads In like • manner, We make the man on the back road help to pay, however. We increase his talus W help increase the value of another man's term." Mayor English, of the town of In- gersoll, explained to the committee that unless Um Government, assisted in paving a two-mile stretch of road In the corporation of Ingersoll linking np the Provencal highway from London to Ingersoll sod from In- gersoll to Woodstock, it was very Im- probable that the road would ever be paved at all, hecause the property- holders along this partleeular 'street could not afford the money necessary to do the work. Asked It he thought the corpora- tive would be willing to pay 20 per event. of the cost of paving the street and pay for curbing, cut,h hnsin . sidewplke, etc., Mayor English felt quite certain that such a proposal would be agreeable to the property - bottlers. Mayor English. hl answer to a ques- tion by the committee was very em- phatic In stating that he felt that the corporation was under no moral obli- gation whatever to enlist In the cost of the construction of any county roads. Favor Heavier Taxes Several speakers also favored heav- i. r taxe,< against trucks which. It was thought, did the most damage to the roads. It was also suggested that the heavy trucks be not allowed t0 run cot the country roads In the months - of November and 1)ec•ember as well as In March and April. 1t was pssinted out that in these menthe the roads were softened by the rains fully as much aa in the spring and that the inu•ks ant huge ruts that heaved in the spring when the frost was leaving the ground and caused immense repair bias. II. C. Parker, chairman cd the Board of Works, Woodaatock, explain- ed to the meeting the position In which Woodstock stood In regard to the paying for Provincial highways. Ile thought that aa some 90 per cont. of the people of Woodstock were working people and not getting any benefit from the hippiwnys, it was unfair that they should be tax- ed for these roads. In Mr. Parker's opinion a portion of the money collected for license fees should is- devoted to maintaining rads into the city or county r sada. Mr. Squires pointed out that the people did benefit by the roads going Into the city and that these going in- to the city by using the roads made some, contribution to that city. Mr. Parker's plan was to put some direct tax on those who used the roads. In the shape of a tax on gas or tires. He thought such a matter MAST<tt SIX 24-41 The NewMaster Six Double Service Sedan HERE is a practical, comfort- able and economical closed car for five passengers, built for strenuous, everyday, business ser- vice, yet eminently appropriate for family motoring.
