The farmers of MeKillop wanted better roads, One of the sugges- tions was to put calcium chloride on the concessions one year and. on the sideroads the other, Reeve Allan Campbell said that the concession roads would have to be maintained as now with the calcium put on each year but • consideration could be given to doing the sideroads, but it would have to be every year, not every other. He . was told, "Crops arc as valuable on the sideroads as on the concessions". The delegates said crops aking the road suffered. from the heavy dust.
