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 thought that Perth was said that.the reeves in South Perth
