Communication :To the Editor of The Seaforth News. .Dear •Sir; I would ask permission to occupy space enough in your valu- able paper ,to bring to the notice of the ratepayers and electors of Grey Township the condition of the last two miles on the \'Vest' end of Concessions :15 and 16, early this spring. To get this road gravelled'was the •first move the Township representa- • Live for this division made after being ,elected in January a member of the Grey Council Board, and had the work been done in a workmanlike and ' business like manner, no doubt it would have passed without comment. although there were pieces of the road which did not need gravel half as :badly as other places on the line which did not get any. But the gravel was dumped on top of snow that was anywhere front one to three feet deep, and left jus asit was dumped. never leveled or straightened up. 'Be as careful as they could, dumping half a load in a place. the teamsters c'uld not • ane onet it "the iohn t straight, fixn upd eor level re was no When the snow melted along the sides the gravel was sitting up in the middle of the road on top of all that snow and in many places there was not room to drive between it and the ditch and it was impossible to drive on top of it in the shape it was in. Several minor mishaps occurred and one horse was badly injured, for which no, doubt the Township is re- sponsible. A doctor or vet. must have been some mariner it he was able to navigate this road after night. One of the speakers; in his address at 'the nomination meeting. enumerat- ed several pieces. of"bad road in the south side of the Township but he did toot mention this piece 'as needing re - :mar. .However, those who saw it this spring when the snow melted. saw something they may never have the chance of seeing again. Anyone who had wished to travel its entire length and did not care to walk would have _needed to hitch a quiet horse to a =stone boat, for that was the only real - safe vehicle for the road at that time. Somebody. will have •to do some side stepping to convince the electors at the next nomination day that by spending $1,150.00 on a mile of road on each side of this Councillor's own gate (some of which needed gravel and a lot of it did not) that he was spending their money as carefully as ro sih,e. He paid $4.50 per day for teams and only asked them to make three tsps per day on a three-miletau! w te: they should have made three trips rio day and four the nes cc,me to to the recognized standard ,f twenty. • miles round trip perday. They were not asked to makelourtrips a day tint the la, three- 1 tar ere of a mile when they should have been matin•.* five trips to rut twenty miles per day. The last two days they were only malt+ng four trip: o 114 mile for a full day's pay. or a 14 mile roundtrip, When they should have inade e trips 'in' triter to make a twenty mile day. Now had those extra- trips been made and had the gang been properly organized it would have meant a sav- ing to the Township of approximately $1'00 per mile, Thanking you, Mr Editor, for your .�attrahle' space and apologizing for taking alp so much of it, 1 will n0 leave the matter with the ratepayers. 1Editor's Note, -The two riles of road between concessions 15' and 16; Grey, referred to above by a ratepayer of that Township, . is , in excellent shape naw.1 and family spent SnndeY •tt the home 'of the latter "s sister, Mrs k holly matt WOLVEI TON FLOUR MILLS CO.
