the roadway in Turrtberry township,
which was filled- last Fall has opened
np again and some 20 feet of water
has appeared in it. The Township
Council has ordered the road closed
until the inmate. le taken up with the
Goverment, $2000 was expended
last Fall in filling up the hole and
mennbeet of the Council have decided
that it is unwise to attempt to fill
up the depression again. The road
rune through a swamp and it is doubt-
ful if a suitable r oadbed could be run
through it. As a result Turnbeery
Tnemship farmers en route to

of their' way. Rural mail carrier Tyn-
dall feels the hardship most of alt as
in Lhe week he hue to drive some 14

enforcing the law in that distt•iet can
be:paid out of it. This will do away
with the nuisance of keeping number
of entail accounts - where one would
set ve the purpose much better.
Anothee change will affect the pro-
vision tequiring a person found under
the it of liquor in a local option
district to tell from whom he seemed
the -li liquor under penalty of $60 fine
for refusing. The change will em.
brace ail places where no tavern shop
or licenses alt issued and the person
who is found under the Influence of
liquor in these places will be subject
to the satue penalties as if it was a
local option district.
The last section is designed to
strengthen the hands of the depart-
ment in enforcing the law in counties
or districts where the Canada Temper.
ansa Act is in operation.
"The House will appreciate" paid
Mr. Hanna "that we are confined to
fairly barrow limits when ie comes to
that andwithrespect to these limits
such as they are, we have sought to
make emelt changes as will strengthen
the hands of the department in that
particular."
In counties the law is to be enlarged
an Lhat the Province may provide out
of the consolidated revenue fund one
half of the amount required to enforce
the law over and above what is avail-
able out of the fines
received from
penalties imposed. Under the legisla•
tiny of Sit Oliver Mowat the Province
has been paying only one-third of the
deficiency. -
In num ganized districts the entire
cost of enforcing the Canada Temper-
ance Act is to be borne by the Pro-
vince and for this purpose $6,000 has
beenput in the estimates. This will
effect the district of Manitoulin where
the Stott Act will come into force on
the first of next month.

bill which was introduced into the
Legislature by Hon. W. 3. Hanna
contains no sensational provisions. It
consists of only six sections.
The first change is to include'Gnad
Friday along -with C1u'swiss as one
of the days on which liquor cannot
be sold.
The second clause deals with the
right of appeal from convictions for
the illegal sale of liquor. Heretofore
a licensee only had the right of an ap-
pall from a conviction, but thelaw is
to be amended to include, druggists,
as the druggists' aesnciatiinu thought
that this provision was only fair.
