History of Roads in. Huron
The history of the roads of Huren
County is very interesting. The,firet
road of importance in the county was
the old Huron Road rudely construct'
ed through the bush by the Canada'
Company when the county was first
settled. Other early roads were con_
structed chiefly by the aid of grants
frbm the Crown, but these were ex-
pended in a more or less haphazard
fashion and it was not until 1854
that any important step was taken
towards the improvement of yoads•
in this county. At this time the ad-
vent of the Buffalo-Goderich railroad
'and the developement of the .county
otherwise, brought, the matter of road
construction seriously to the atten-
tion of the County Council of that
year. They realized that the devel-
opement. of the country demanded
roads as a means of transportation
and to ,give the settlers access to the
railway. Accordingly in that year
an assessment was, made for rod
purposes on the whole county which
then included Bruce, -Perth and a
part of Middlesex, and a contract was good road is smooth4ess.-- .A road

subsidy of 20 per cent on all money
expenditures to townships conform-
ing with •the regulations of the De-
partment, A large portion of the
work on lOwaship roads is (lone by
statute labor and statisti6s compiled
by the Department of Public High-
ways of Toronto shows that to do
work by statute labor costs as a rule
three times as much as to do the
same by day labor or by contract.
It is therefore clear that statute labor

tbe, interests of the ratepayers should

Pc, undoubtedly, false economy and a
consideration of the benLits to be de-
rived from further expenditures must
be considered before attempting to
answer the question.
Motor Traffic Represents 75 per cent
_
It is claimed. by persons who do not
approve of r modern road improve-
ments that the expenditures on roads
is to provide roads for the motor cars.
Primarily, that is the actual truth,
for motor traffic represents 75 per
cent of the traffic on the roads to -day
and must be provided for, as the
country cannot infforcP tol be w4thout
the motor car. Furthermore, every
one ha,s a motor car or makes use of
one in some, way, and the roads which
are maintained primarily to Suit mo_
tor traffic will at the same time give
service to any other class of traffic.
A good road then, as opposed to a
bad road is most readily defined by a
motorist and. the motorist is very
quick to notice the difference. To the
motorist the prime requisite of a
draft was $17,000, and at:the end of
1922 this was reduced to $8,000,t
While to offset this the Governinent
gra,nt'of $78,000 is due in March.
County Council Has Sur
This ineans that 1923 Council will
hare $70,000 to start the year's work
and it will not be necessary to levy
anything for h.igbways this year if
it is decided to spend no more than
that amount of money., This cendi-
tion is very different from the de-
plorable condition that was described
and lamented at the close of 1922.
The 1922 programme of work was
in many ways the most progressive
of all the years' work undertaken
since 1917. Much more permanent
work was done and- it was done in
an improved manner. Moreover, our
organization' is becoming better and
better educated to the requirements
and much credit and anbreciation is, .-
due to those road foremen who have
taken such a keen interest in the
work of the County and given.' their
efforts unstintedly.

Money wa not plentiful in those days
and even teams were hard to secure,
moreover, the road allowances had to
be cleared of timber, but in spite of
all difficulties: the splendid roads
which we are all familiar with were
constructed in all parts of the county
and have been a source of pride to
the citizens ever since. Chief among
these are the London Road the Huron
Road, the Seaforth-Bayfield road,
Bayfield-Amberley road, the Goder_

Cost Of Maintenance
It is in endeavoring to give our
roads these characteristics which en-
tail the expendittre of the moneys.
Prior to 1917 the cost of maintain-
ing' the present system of Highways
was as follows:
Statute Labor at $70 per
mile $31,010
Gravelling contracts let by
township councils for whole
county, estimated cost.... 15-,000
Culvert and bridge construe_
In recent years motor traffic has
created an entirely different demand
from the :Highways. Traffic increased
tremendously and it was necessary
to meet these demands by different
methods. • Accordiney the County -
'Council of 1917, under the Highways
Improvement Act of britario, desig-
nated as County Roads a system of
Highways distributed as equitably as
possible over the eotinty.,This, sys-
tein has been added to frOm time to
time until at present there are 443
miles of County roads under the jur-
isdiction of the County Council.
Coeuty Roads are of two classes.

The most outstanding feature of
the 1922 expenditures as compared
to those of 1921, is the increase of
$43,160.49 in the expenditure on
road. construction. This represents a
very much altered policy of Proceed-
ure and means that much' more per-
manent work is being done and that
the work of 1922 is a beginningon,,
a progressive policy Of reco9.,,s1eating
