WANT TIME EXTENDED.
LEGIT FON ACCEPTANCE OF GOOD
ROADS GRANT.
The anneal meeting of the Western
Ontario Good Reade Aaeooiation opened
in the oonnty municipal hall, Toronto,
Wednesday of Met week President James
Graham, of Lindsay, in the chair. A.
number of important subjects were die-
oneeed at the two seething of the aseooia,
tion and a resolution passed requesting
the Government to extend the time with-
in whioh county Ooaaoila may take
advantage of the act respecting the
improvement of highways until January
1, 1907. A suggestion that the repeal of
the section providing that when the
county fails to take advantage of the sot
the municipalities may for one year have
an opportunity of doing ao waewithdrawa.
Mayor Urgohert, on behalf of the pity
of Toronto, exteuded a oordial welcome
bo the aeeooiatiou. He dwelt upon the
&immunity of interest whioh existed
between all manioipalities, whether
rural or urban, eepeoially in regard to
protection of their iotereete ageiuet
franchise -seeking corporations.
Warden Hartmann also extended a
warm weloome from the oonnty of 'York,
and Controller Hubbard oommended the
objeot of the association,
Ex -Warden Cummings, of Carleton,
gave an interesting end inetr0otive
sketch of the formation and organization
of the Eastern Onaario Good Roads
Aaeooiation. Altbongb in Carleton
oonnty the by-law bad been defeated for
the present, he predicted the people would
yet vote 0138 necessary money to eeoare
an improvement in the roade.
The advisability of requesting the
Government to eo amend the not for the
improvemeub of poblio highways as to
permit the application of a portion of the
Provinoial grant to the construction of
bridges was the anbjeot of a motion by
J. W. Gibbs, of Ontario oonnty. The
coat of oonetrnoting permanent bridges
was, he eaid, eo great 'Cat it deterred
many counties from availing themeelvee
of the provieione of the bill. In hie own
county it would be specially advantage.
one if the munioipalitiee were allowed to
expend such portions of the grant as
ueneerary on bridgee, and apply tbe
remainder on the improvement of the
roade.
Tbe enggeation vise provocative of a
protracted dtecaeeion, participated in by
Messrs, Waltere, Waterloo ; J. D. Evans,
York : J. A. Boobanan and R. R. Brett,
Essex; Major Brooe, Simooe ; D. H.
Moyer, Linooln ; 0. E. Hewson, Simooe,
and others.
A. W. Campbell, in reply to questions,
stated that it was not necessary for the
ooapty Ooaoail to epeoify any mono
when enbmittiog the bylaw. He thought
poseibly one of the greateet stumbling
blocks in the way of adoption of the sot
was the Not that a moot larger cum of
money wits usually epecifled that tbe
()toenail oonld possibly spend in any one,
two, three or even five years.
The meeting deolined to ask for an
amendment to the act, as suggested by
Mr. Gibbs,
Mr. Brett, Essex, moved that the
aeeooiation memorialize the Govern•
meat to extend the time during
which oonntiee may avail themselves of
the not for the improvement of public
higbwaye until January 1, 1907. This
also wan a subject of prolonged debate,
extended into the evening. There was a
prononnoed difference of opinion upon
the eubjeot of allowing the provision that
the lnoal munioipalitiee might share in
the grant to remain on the e0atute book.
It was oontended that the poeeibility of
the manioipatity obtaining the grant it
the county adopta did not a at em of
y
oo0nty roads was reeponelble for the
laxity and indifference of the County
Ooanelle. Major Brave, Simooe, moved an
amendment favoring the repeal of the
emotion under wbioh maoiOipaiitiee may,
under certain oironmetanoee, obtain the
benefit of the sot.
A. W. Campbell coked why, if, after
font or five years, only tour bounties have
aaoep0ed the offer of the Government, e
further extension of time eboald be
granted. He was personally opposed to
the alternative plan of allowing the looel
ma0ioipalitiee to take advantage of the
provisions of the act, end hoped, if the
money set aside by the Government were
to be need, it would be expended by the
larger and more comprebeneive body.
The reason why the Connty Ooantile had
not been ae eneoeeefnl as they should
was simply beeeuee the County Connell -
lore had not taken hold of the whole
gaeetion in eooh a member ae they should.
Personally, he would prefer to see the
County Counoile have cbarge of every
thing that could be balled a bridge, be.
armee they were in a peeitfon to build
their bridges and Iodic after them ohaapee
and better than the smaller body, He
favored am exteneion of time to County
Cannella for two years, if it wonld be
prodnolive of emanate
The motion asking for an exteneion of
the time limit to January 1907, was
agreed to. Having attained his object in

PREMIEN ROBS' REPLY re LARGE
DEPUTATION.
A deputation, 200 strong, of Werdeoe,
Councillors and Clerks of the aountiee of
the Proviuoe, Wednesday of last week,
waited upon Premier Rose, Hon. E. J.
Davis, Hou. J. R. Stratton and Hou,
John Dryden in reference to the eel pee•
sad taut eeesiou, giving Township Ooen•
elle an apnea to abolish the system
adopted in 1896 of eleoting County
Councillors direct, and to revert in part
to the old eyetem, Mayors of towns and
Reeves of municipalities constituting the
County Council.
M. T, Boobanan, of Oxford County,
said they were a unit in objecting to the
aot passed last year,
Wardeu Braos,ot Simooe county, said
the system of providing for equal voting
on all matters up to 01,000, and there
were few that exceeded that BUM, would

Donoan, of Lambton, also spoke.
Premier Rose in reply gave a abort re.
view of the oonditione that led up Gu the
act of 1896 and its amendment last year,
One of the weaknesses of last year's
meaeare was that on the question of
equalization of aeeeaement the email
municipalities had voting strength equal
to the larger, and were thee, perhaps en-
abled to bring about an nojest and unfair
aeseaement. That should certainly be
remedied, "We think oleo of amending
the sot of last year so as to obaoge the
manner in which it shall coma into
operation. We would allow the Muni-
oipal Ooanoile to pane a bylaw if they
naw fit to do ea asking that the not alms
into force. These by-laws afterwarde
would be referred to the electors of each
townehip so that instead of the Muni•
Opal Council of each municipality govern•
ing in this matter there would be a vote
taken on the day for tbe eleotien of
Ooanoillore, nay next year, and it a
majority of the ratepayers of the whole
ooaoty demand the change, the ohange
will go into Wean in that emanate
(Applause.) Tbe old act will remain he
force for two years, and it may be pos-
sible that the County 0oouoillora who
have done snob excellent work will be
able to eo impress their usefulness noon
tbe electors that the ohange will not be,
made. In the meantime, the aot of lamb
year will be very oarefally revised and
emended in one or two particulars."
