As a result, all counties have had a revision of their systems, one county hitching with another. and now there is a. network of county roads, none of them dead ends. Mr, Henry regretted that the whole County Council was not present to hear what he had to say. "!'he peo- ple of Perth are not epending enough money on highways. The $75,0011 spent last year will not get you any where." One of the previous speakers, Mr, .. H. B. Morphy, referred to the swamps in Elma, and the difficulty of making roads in North Perth and the hack of materia).. Mr. Henry replied to this by saying that -Perth was a good productive county. Ho usual- ly found that where road material was lacking, the land was very pro- ductive and the townships had plenty of funds to purchase road material. "If the Government tool this road over, you would still have your road problems," said Mr. Henry. He cited Waterloo county as the most progres- sive county in the Province, and ad- vised the Perth county -council to vis- it Waterloo and see what had been done, stating that Perth was just as capable.

He did not offer any promise of taking over the road from Teviotdale to Mitchell as a provincial highway, as his Govi•rn- • inent bad decided not to make any addilioui, until the present ; reerem had been completed.
