Colborne and Goder- ich 'Townships councils were strongly represented in spite of the weather. Mayor E. R. Wigle took the chair at S o'clock and stated the reason of the meeting being called, then asking Mr.. A..0, Garner, of Stratford, secre- tary of the Central Ontario Provincial Highway Association, to address the meeting, Mr. Garner explained that Major J. �. Matins, K. C., being detained by the 1•iigh Court proceedings had been un- able to attend as was the hope of the executive' in Stratford. He gave a brief history of the movement for the "straight tine road" in his opening re- marks and then proceeded with the aid of a map to show why the 'pro- posed route should be built for its location in the province. One feature brought out by the speaker was the fact that taking an air line from Tor- onto to Sarnia via Guelph none of the important towns or cities en route t Were farther than an average of five utiles from that line 'with one excep- r, tion,—a factor which was plainly not appliacable to the southern route and at hence making a much shorter road. n The speaker proceeded to give facts er as to financial assistance from til province in regard to all roads an in also explained the way in which th proposed Federal grant would be ap }died, Continuing A1r. Garner showed the present day need of good roads generally and the highway in particu- lar and the benefit that would be de- rived therefrom to each part 01 the community. Following up his remarks with statistics from the Department of the .Minister of the interior show- ing that m,4•e than 50 per ceui. of the value of the farm property. ,tucks crops, and implements west of '1 oron to lies in the district served by tine road :and north thereof.

Goderich-andthe towns in Huron generally would coma into tine scheme, ;and . -closed his address with an appeal for united action that the people of the province might bene- fit as a whole through these efforts.
