PBOBXEMS TN ROADI AXING•
By A. W. Campbell, Deputy Minis-
ter of Public Works for Ontario.
Among other notable step's, the
Provincial Government has enacted
it measure aiding the construction
of county road systems to the ex-
tent of one-third of the cost, and,
as a first appropriation, has provid-
ed the sutra of one million dollars;•
to be drawn upon as rapidly as the
work progresses. It is surprising
how fast this legislation is being
taken advantage of, some of the
counties in the lust three years
having expended mtich as ei
quarter of a million dollars ; and
the majority of counties in Ontario
have framed and are now complet-
ing county -road plans. • In view of
the persistent opposition to • this
movement at its inception, it 1$ ex-
oeedingly encouraging to know
that such it change of sentiment
and expression have oonie over the
people generally, and in this con-
nection how rapidly they have a-
wakened in regard to matters per-
taining to road improvement gene-
rally.
The improvement of maim roads
under county systems is providing
for smaller iitunit:ipalities mode]i
upon which to base both their work
and system of management. As a
result, even the townships are
beildins roads in long stretches in-
stead of, as heretofore, endeavor-
ing to make a ,general iriiprovetnent
by -a series of patches. continued
frcm year to year. All municipali
ties are buying modern road mach-
inery, including,' grading rna.chines,
stone -crushers and road rollers.
Townships alone have invested in
these implements fully $100,000,
with which to carry on their work
more rapidly and more perfectly.
First construction of roads is im-
portant. Proper repair and main-
tenance of roads must not be over-
Iooked. It is uselees to spend con-
siderable sums on road constrnc-
tion if this outlay is to be lost in a.
few years through neglect. Roads,
when once well built. should be
kept in a gond condition for all
time, and the first expenditure
therebv Preserved. Practically ail
roads require soine treatment every
year, and in some cases attention
should be given several times in
n a;eason. The only, rule is that
l>a it siaeoilti 'he inade • -as ' fast as
ttxe signs of 'Wear appear. Ritts and
depressions must he filled up, - the
center of the road kept crowned
and the wheel tracks full. The sides
of the road must he cut down end
sloped ; drains cleaned out and out-
lets opened.
Statute labor methods are not a-
dapted to this work. and only by a
comprehensive system in which
work can be obtained at any and
all seasons of the y'er, can roads
be properly and economically main-
tained.
Rural.England owes much of its
beanty, not only to good roads, but
also to the well -kept roadsides, the
magnificent trees and heautifnl
hedges. It is a power that creates
a love of the country and nn mi
faltering patriotism, Grade and
level the roadside as well as the
road. Establish a gnoci sod. Keep
down the weeds. Let the fences
be neat and tasteful]. Plant s'rnups
of trees and shrubbery. Utilize
e.IiV spring's aveilaalile near thn road
to make sl rinkin'r pla.c:es for horses
wind rattle. In doing all this ere -
nerve neturs at her best, making
the most of natural a.dvante es
The roadsides cannot. need not, • be
converted into lawns, but they
need not he the unsightly emblems
of chaos that we so frequently find
them. In building our roads, the
original: beauty of nature is de-
stroyed, and we owe it to ourselves
to make such atonement as we can
by restoring a pertain amount of
order and ornament.

sessor of a quilt containing 6120
pieces. which . she cut, sewed and
quilted in about a Ixxonth. The
quilt is beautifully made.
One of the things Reeve Bobier
of Exeter intends doing this year is
to have that pThoe incorporated in-
to a town. 'Wine Exeter does not
enjoy the required population, that
of 2000, some action will probably
be taken to have it placed in the
select class.

respected residents of Exeter, died
on Friday, Jan. 26th, at the age of
74 years. Mr. Samwell had for
y-easr been afflicted with at species
of heart cliseasc+: which at times,
caused hint intense suffering and
incapaciatecl him for the more ac-
tive duties of life. About three
weeks ago he contracted a sever e
cold which culminated in pneumon-
ia, and before which his weakened
constitution gave way. Mr. Sam -
well was a native of Devonshire,
England.
On Sunday, Jan. 28th, the death
took place at her home in Brece-
field of Miss Agnes Hart, the eldest
daughter of Mr. Hart, at the age
of 32 years. She was i11 for a long
time, so that her death was not
unexpected. She was a young
woman of beautiful character, be-
loved by all with whnni she ca me
in contact. She was a member of
the Presbyterian church, en active
worker in the Christian Endeavor
Society, and in the Sabbath school.
Her loss will be most keenly felt in
her home,where the family eon-
sists_of her father and sister, Miss
Katie. The funeral took place on
Tuesday to Baird's cemetery.
