In another column lefr, Geo, Hol-
man, County Clerk, has a letter agi-
tating for work on the 131utiwater
Highway or roads leading to it, in-
stead a paving the road south of
Exeter, In this matter he urges the
meed of employment, in the county,
and the expenditure of the sum in-
volved would give more direct results
in this way.
It must be remembered that the
Department of Highways have a de-
finite plan in view in developing a
eystexit of highways through the pro-
vince looking to the general advan-
tage of the 'travelling public and the
needs of the various localities. For
year, there has been quiet but persis-
• ten agitation for a highway leading
from Western Ontario and the bord-
er to the Muskoka Lakes District,
To grant this the Department after
considering many other schemes de-
cided to extend No, 4 Highway from
Clinton through to the Durham road
(Highway No. 9), This No. 4 High-
way is paved from London to Clin-
ton, with the exception of 4 miles
south of Exeter. In it this section
that the Dept. calls for tenders for
paving this year, No doabt the next
four years will see the greater part
of the road from Clinton to Teeswa-
ted paved. Preliminary steps to that
may be seen in the straightening of
the road from Wingham to Teeswat-
It is a defined plan of the Dept.
to use the shortest route between two
given points with due regard to cost
a construction, hence, their adoption
of• No. 4 Highway in preference to
Bluewater route.
Undoubtedly Goderich would bene-
fit most by Mr. Holman's suggestion
in having the roads leading to the
Bluewatcr Highway improved at the
expense of No, 4 Highway. It is al-
together likely the Deptwill abide
by the decision to complete No. 4
•Highway as already outlined, when
ven The Bluewater project may be con-
-sidered.
