H('LOV ROAD When John Galt, as secretary of the Canada Lanrl Company, ar- rived In Toronto i11 December, 1826, it was with the assigned task of preparing the 1,100,000 acres for the unemployed and surplus population of the British Nies.. His alert brain was busy with ,,themes for the future suc- 0essac- 006,;of the Huron Tract, He was areompanied by the vigorous Dr, William Dunlop, Having deriders that the first project should be a trunk road through the centre of the dense forest. to connect: the provincial capital and Lake Ontario with Lake Huron's shore, he discussed the project with the doetor whom he knew as the successful direct- or of the Lake Simone to Penes tang road, He appointed him Warden of the Forest. and director of the new road, n,Ltc Lutiriuo tiiat Itc could spet4 t''reneh, which he did no dopert'eetly, no in telling us he cleared a. farm in the States wl he exeltangecl for the present 1litation, He expressly said, swipe', We hiredlids for guide," It \stilt the opening of the mai n had 1.1011 Jo our 11 1" nneral home in Zurieh. nu. o til Wednesday, ltequiein high Mass was snag at 10 a.m. Weds. nc.sdat in 4t.

After this historic event some progress made on the s veying and clearing on the Si the two Hien parted canmpany. Galt set out to Penetang where gunboat was waiting to take h round the Bruce Peninsula Goderich, Dr. Dunlop, with t surveyors and the axemen, 1 the way westward toward t lake. The surveyor was assist by a man who understoodt methods of an engineer and e tied his instruments. Two othe carried the provisions. Other ax men cut continuously down tire surveyed line throughthroughthe woo in which a flying level was take The two months of strenuou toil penetrating the Huron Fares involved the hewing of giant tree Some cherry trees measured 5 feet from the ground to the low est branch with a girth est 10 kee seven inches at the height of man's highest -reach. Wood fro such trees when dressed took polish equal to mahogany, SUIgreater to be hewn was the bever ly oak 10 feet high and a girth.0 33 feet, Such excellent material o ui virein growth and incalcabl value was used for the humbl cabin, fence rails, bridges, fire wood, and even corduroy roads For days the fatiguing work we on with nrr.asimlal detours by on or more to gather information 1 the seemingly inaccessible forest ft was groping for clues, a emirs to be discovered. As night came on two sten wen 00 ahead to pr'epar'e a comfortabl camp. A. shanty was built near swampy spot to get water conven hinny, hemlock houghs tor beds and plenty of dry cedar to make blazing fire against a maple log b, which to make porridge. Fish an pork was toasted by woode Prongs and for the lfettle to sin en, for the savoury odor of to from dried leaves. Every man roasted for himsel and served himself with purlt sandwiches and tea. Then follow- ed an evening of good fellowship and grog. Stretched out with feet to the fire like spoons these Hur- on road makers soon dropped off to sleep until the first to awake cried "Spoon" at which eaeb turned over and up. Although the forest growth became denser, the men's strong constitutions and the extensive knowledge and the experience of the Warden of the forest stood them in good stead as they traversed the thousands of acres and wandered finally out of the region nearly perishing from want of relaxation. After two months of slashing through 90 miles of such forest the gang was glad to see the blue waters of Lake Huron on May 27 1827, as the site to be established and called Goderich. It was the first radical operation on the primeval forest and not a very clean cut at that, Behind them lay the miles of a 12 -foot avenue with knolls anis hollows, with stumps and logs. The levelling and sur- facing, the ditching and culvert building was left for a more con- venient season, It was a road on- ly in name to be travelled as best one could. But the traveller of those days had to be -tough, When the Rev, William Fraser had to make an urgent trip from HansenHansento his London home and tunable to secure a horse on a very rainy day in May, 1835, it took hien from daybreak to dusk to co- ver the 38 miles of tough road. To take some of the toughnees out of travel for the incoming settlers, the -Canaria Company of. feted a bonus to the first three settlers --2.0, 250 and aCO, re- spectively, to maintain for six months an overnight resting place, called a tavern, in a company log hoose, at certain points designat- ed by the eampany. The first to accept the offer was Sebastian I'i'yfogle living in Waterloo who 1110505 to the tavern on .the west- ern border of Wilmot two, In Waterloo County in 1828 without a neighbor for miles on either side, The next tavern was at the north west corner of South East - hope and thus near Stratford. It was taken over by Andrew Hel- mer fiielmor's 'Tavern), a former employee of the Canada Company, He became tavern keeper In 1829, The third tavern was at iSeebach's 1611 abant seven Dmilek - west of Stratford. Other taverns along the road were Van iigmond's, Vander. burg near Clinton, and hick's Ta- vern at iTolmesville, Another convenience for trav- ellers was the placing of mile posts on the road. An effort was hen made by the company .to make the trail into a roadway by mterhmg into a oontract with Col, 'an Egmond- who, however, for want of Company cash, paid the men with Inc own money and ae- opted acreage, t11e leis 13e - led W.. his the 0w and UT- te, S1Ir. a im to he ed he ed lie ar•- re 0.. d n, s, 0 a m a 1 0 0 nt e n 0 e a a v d 11 g a In April of the following year both sten with surveyor and axe - men set out and travelled about 60 utiles to the neighborhood of the junction of the two branches of the Speed River, Mr. Galt writ- ing from Guelph during the same summer gives a vivid account of their actions: ''The site chosen was On a 'nameless stream's tmtrodden banks', into the forest 18 miles from Galt—a great future city founded by a friend of mine with a handsome bridge over the Grand River and of which I have never heard until it had a post office.

But after some years of tolls, people wear- ied and claimed the tolls were detrimental to business, They sought to abolish the system by purchase but in vain, Finally, by common consent, tiro toll gates were assembled and disposed by fire in 1907, Among other roads opened were the Mill road from the budding village of Brucefield through Eg- mandrillo to the Huron. road in 1837, Prior to that date travellers from Bayfield seeking to reach London were compelled) to follow the tortuous trail to Goderichsn order to go south, until a trail was slashed through Varna to Brumfield. The latter was not cut through and continued to Brews- ter's14i11 until 1800. In the mid 1830s a road was cut from Brew- ster- through Frieburg (Dash- wood) to the London road and called the Port Frank road in an early Canada Almanac map.
