Children Cry for CASTOR X11 Itkiustice. TO TUB EDITOR ADVOCATE; DEAR SIR, beg, through the medium of your columns, the privilege of snaking a statement which may prove of inter- est to the people of Usborne township, at the preseut. time. Not being an adept in the art of writing for the public press, you will kindly coot notice. any errors which ,you may notice in composition er otherwise, and. I will try to deal with the matter in hand itt as few words as possible. To begin. then, the matter which I wish tobring to the notice of your readers, is the road on the fourth and fifth concession, Usborne, commonly known as tbe swamp read, extending south from Lot 11 on the St- Marys road to Lot 2 an the same concession,', two miles in all. We, rile Quinton Bros, have with very little asaietanee made the greater part of the road fairly passable; we commenced at the south end and we are now within two lots, one-half mile, of the St. Marys road For townsbip assistance we saw the futility of asking, of statute labor we got not a day even from those whose land lay direetly an this road, our own statute was all on winch we had to de pend, we were thoroughly side traeked and have been so for a number of years. we bore it all without grumbling and this would not now have appeared in print if we were let alone. We did all our, statute labor for a .number of years under the Path-11laster of the beat ie which we lived, and we were never preventedsfrom doiug the labor for the swamp wherever we thought it would be of most benefit to the toad through it But this state of things was not to last evert at this slow rate of speed. The swamp road was getting along too fast. It would never do to have it connect with the St. Marys road in a passable state; something had to be done, Was there not other roads', which stood more in Hoed of work be- ing dorm on them than that? Of course there was, and not far away either: all that was necessary was to', bring the matter before the council and have the road work put on the narrow road list;; if the Quintons refuse to work en that heat, it can be made hot for them; they will have to pay the cash; it can he expended where it was placed and it will all be the same to the end. Well, this plan was adopted; the case was brought before the council h3T, I believe, a member of the conned, and I also believe that it was there repre- sented that we could not be got to do our road work, that was why the change was wanted. If it was so rep- resented, I charge the party doing so with uttering what was untrue, with- out giving us the opportunity of de fending ourselves. I am not a little surprised just here how the council could not or did not see through his little scheme, for it seems according to Mr, Keddy's nomi nation speech that there was not a dissentieut word among them on this or any subject which came before them for discussion. However, we were not consulted on the matter, the change was made and we were put on what Is called the nar- row road list. When warned by path master of that division we refused to do the weak on that read and instead did it on the swamp road; the path master returned the work undone and it was put on the roll of 1897 for col- lection. tit hen I paid our taxes for 1897 (which was a little over $155S00) I did not happen to look over the items no the receipt and so was not aware that I paid the nomination money and did not discover my mistake until about the time the taxes becotne due; but our friends were on the watch for this money, I drew it with the consent of the council and laid it out when they saw fit ar.d never made Quintan Bros the wiser until questioned about it. Next comes the road work for 1898. Vire were warned by the path master for the same beat; we refused to work thethe onit•wedadwa•l.oih swamp s ..m P road, sixteen days; the work was re- turned undone by the path master of this narrow road division and we were char_ ed on the roll for $16.00, comtnu tation Inoney We ref used to pay it. and it became the duty of the collector to seize and sell for that amount with costs. It seems that the law does not admit him to do this in the same, year in which the commutation money is placed on the roll for collection, if there is any dispute over it, but it shall be collected in the following year. When I caned upon the council, I think it was at their Nov, meeting, to whywewereto ._ find out being treated t h this manner, I was very plainly and cooly told that there was no redress for us; we would have to. .pay the money: So united were the council over this matter that not a word was spoken by any one of them in ee r fa, or: the subtle influence which had been in stilled into them bad a`pparentl'y thor- oughly done its work. And this is the stateof t he case as t present. For my own part I cannot. believe that this law was ever framed to assist such a gerrytnandirina 'coer- cive, selfish scheme as'this, Ilowever. the law is on the sett tiTtt httok 'Hud all it needs is the men to enforce it, , This money has got to: be t:aket, From us and we will have an auction sale at our place in this year of 18ele As it will be the first thing of its kind which will haveoeeurred in the annals of the • township of Usborne, we ex pest the at, tendance co be large, and we extend to'. every :man in tee township a eordial invitation to be present, be be Irish, Scotch, English, Grit or Tory, and we will zaso you as well as we know how, As it will he of e early .occurrence, 'we wish the first sale to be a success. And now, my dear readers, I wish to call your attention to a few masters ir. connectors with the above subject. Has Usborne got so fivancialiy low that she has got to resort to such ques- tionable weans as this to raise a few do=tars? Why is it that every dollar laid out an those swamp roads islooked upon as so much laid out for the aole benefit of Quinton Bros? Are the roads tbrongb this place their private property? Are we not as much era, titled to consideration as any otter ratepayers, and if nut, why ? $ave wtt not paid aur taxes and. I was going to say, have we riot done our road work, but setae will even go so far as to assert that we have not, behind our backs of course. We should like to know who is their authority for such assertions as those; do they not know the eousequeihces to us? Do they not know that it concerns ne more than aught else in connection with: the sub- ject ? Our character is at stake; it snakes of us liars ah,d thieves as Our word has beet, taken more than once with regard to this statute labor. 11 we did not do as we staled, were we • not lying, and cheating the municipal. ity, as well, of that which belonged to it. 13ut, gentlemen, our conscience in clear in this matter; we have faithful- ly done the statute labor, and not only; did it but did a large amount of work besides, which directly benefitted those roads for which we got no credit. We challenge any person in this towtasbip, or out of it, to point to one single shady transaction in which either of us have had a hand, no mat- ter what our calumuiators may say to the contrary. If they have any charge • to make against us, why in the name of common, sense do they not do it openly and to our face, if they dare, and give us at least a. chance of de- fending ourselves. With regard to the respective merits of those rival roads and their claiwa on the public, much might be said, but I refrain from doing so, lest I might incur the displeasure of some whom I am far from wishing to injure or offend' by word or deed, and be at the same' time supposed to be writing in our awn interest. Having said tbis much we wish to publicly thank those geuttemen who on nomination had enough of the spirit of British fair play in them to say a few words in our favor. "Thanking you also.
