To the 11.11101- 01 Toa Poen:
Dain Sm,—My attention was called to
a circular sent out by yon, as the Reeve
of Brussels, on the above subject, and the
matter was more deeply.impreseedeu my
mind by the thorough shaking up I re-
ceived just before, while going to Wrox-
eter and back by stags. Coed roads aro
in every way desirable, and for many
reasons. How molt better in appear-
ance is the oouutry where the roads are
well made 1Iow much bettor for horses
and all kinds of conveyances that have to
travel, to do so on good roads. Then a
man's farm is worth more by two baud •
rod dollars, with a good road, compared
with ono whore, at any time, a team may
stick fast in the mud. To have roads
that can bo said to bo good, Choy should
be well graded and rounded, so that the
water would run off as it fell; but in
many cases the middle of the road is low.
et than the sides, and es a consequoneo
souh places are worked into mud holes.
I, for one, earnestly hope tho visit of Mr,
Campbell to Brussels and his instruction
will result in great goo:to this part of our
county. I am of the opinion that every
cilizou should try to slake Huron the
Banner County of Ontario, and in order
to do so we must have good roads. In
this 11know Tim Pon Wi11 join.

England. The plainest calculation would
show that the change in the duty on nee
would place about $59,000 in the treasury
without taking a cent from the constituent.
The Govorumont lied kept its pledges to
the people. TheManitoba school question
had been settled, the expenditure has

the specific dutios had boon to a large ex-
tent removed, a higher duty had been
placed upon luxuries. The duty 0n 24
agricultural implements used largely by
farmers had been reduced. The duty
on coal oil had also boon reduced, and Dr.
