County would have built it. This baing
the case, the leading of it by private
means has been a vast saving to the
CountY,Yett notwithstanding this it was
- now proposed to render the road 'Values'
less by removing the tolls from the other
roads in the County, and. thus leave
those who had saved 80 Innen to the
,County bybuilding this road, with it as
mill-stotte arouna their necks. The
road had beee-eonstrueted for less money
then any of the County roads, and had
yielded as large a revenue, yet those to
whom it belongs had offered it to the
County for half of what it cost, and the
-County refaseel to take it off their hands.
It was not at all sarprising that tins
road had. not been a paying specalatien.
There is riot a road in the County that
peys a cent of interest on the money in-
vested it its construction, and why -should
this one be expected to do any more
than the others,
Mr. Greenway was always surprised
. at the course pursued. by these northern
, gravel road. men. - They would neither
propose any way out of the difficulty
themselves norsubmit to the proposition
of others. The only seheine they would
. consent to was fo sell the road. - Well,
he believed that for the County' to buy
the read be the cheapest i1 the
.end, but some two or three years age a
byelaw to raise money for that purpose
had been submitted to the ratepayers and
they voted it down. Now, hew are we
to get out of the difficulty ? He did not.
think it right that the whole of the
County should 'Continue to be .saddled
with this toll -gate nuisance because a
company bad built this northern road as
a private speculation, and that specula-
tion had turned out unprofitable. , Are
we to contimie these eighteen public
nuisances becauge, forsooth, thettown of -
Goderich had risked their money in this
private speaulation and lost it. He
would tell Mr. Gibbons, and tiose who
went with him in this matter that .if
they continued shoving this northern
road forward, as a barrier to the removal
of the tolls, the patience of the people
would soon: become wearied, and the
- Council Woulcithen be compelled, to abol-
ish the tolls, and allow that road to get
along as best it couldIf the tolls were
. abolished ea the other reads, the disad-
vantage, if any, which was thereby done
to those interested in the northern road:
would beconie more apparent to the pee-
- ple, aaul they would be more . likely to
grantethem justice, but if the present
. course were much longer pirsued. those
'interested in that road -would lose all.
Dr. Holmes, Reeve of Morris, was
very anxious that the tolls should be
:removed, at the same time he would
like to eee it done with the fulland. free
. consent of all. He thought that means
_could be ,devised, -whereby the tolls
.could be abolished, and no injustice done
to any section. He strongly advised the'
.appenitthent of a committee to consider
the matter, and -to report sachte sCheme
at the next sitting of Council. 1. -
After considerable further discussion
by Mr. Farrar', af Clinton, and others,
Mr. Leckie' withdrew his motion and
a committee composed. of Messrs.
Gibbons, Young, t Holmes, Greenway,
Gi4m, Patton, Leckie, Cresswell, and
Moon, were balloted for to enquire into
the matter of the northern gravel road,
and to devise some scheme whereby the
toll -gates may he abolished without in-
jury to any municipaltty, and report
on the same at the neit sitting of the
Council.

that the sum of $22.50 has been expen-
d.ed, on the bridge over the Seale River:
