The Government had . . been accused of resorting to all sorts of bility of such a thing being done. In dodges to justify this step, but the the days of tolls on our gravel roads the simple fact of the 'matter was that the County said. "it would be folly for us site had been protested against by com- to make a road to take the traffic away from our own tolls ;" and then when the tolls were thrown off the County threw up the roads also, and the cry now is, "every township keep up its own Toads." Who then should make this mile and. a quarter of road ? is the ques- tion of the moment. In my opinion the people of Seaforth should. take the lead. in the matter. I do believe they are so deeply interested in it that it would ill- tiuiately pay them well even if they graveled the said mile and -a quarter of road at their own expense. That it would. be another string to their bow Can, I think, be vary plainly shown. It is well known to all intimately acquaint- ed about Kippen that in the season when roads are good very few teams go north from Kippen with farm. produce; but that when the said niile and a quar- ter is a quagmire, and all have to go round. by Brucefield, many go onto Clin- ton who never would have thought of such a thing if they could have gone straight eastwards from Kippen. must confess that I scarcely understand why the generally shrewd business men of Seaforth could have neglected this matter so long. I have not the least idea, however, that Seaforth would require to pay more than a fair proportion of the amount necessary to gravel this mile and. smith, in the interest of its own farmers, has graveled all the eaid road at its own expense from Egmondville to Kippen, with the exception of the said one mile and a quarter. Tuckersmith demurs to do more, saying, and, I think with some considerable show of reason, that it can- not afford to make and keep up a road for the convenience of so many of the people of Hay antlf,Stanley,but admitting at the same time that if by some means the mile and a quarter could be got gravel- ed it would strive to keep up all the road in as good a state of repair as possible. It might be supposed at the first glance that the County Council should take hold ancl gravel this rather peculiarly situated piece of road, and have it made at the expense of the County,but circum- stances have existed, and still exist, which leave little hope of the proba- sheep fi•om him.
