The present plan of improving the
roads, by what is familarly known as
statute labor, has the prestige of time-

bor has made immense improvements
in our roads since the days when the
pioneers worked their way along the
concessions and sideroads, or across
farms, guided only by blazed trees.
But the system of roadmaking which
was good enough for them is not good
enough for us—if, we can get something
better. The purpose of this letter is to
draw out a discussion which will tend
to intprove our very imperfect statute
labor system or abolish it, substituting
a tax equitably assessed and judiciously

this road -tax money. While here and
there is a road -beat which has perform -
ed its duty nobly, yet the opinion is
general that 50c. or 60e. cents in cash
would accomplish as much (and do it
better) as the average days work as
generally performed in stupid labor,"
as farmers themselves often call road-
work, Let us say, for convenience's
sake (I have iaot tl exact figures
handy) that their are eighty 1000 -acres
road beats in the township of Carrick,
each composed of 10 farms, and averag-
ing six days labor per farm. That
would mean -4,800 days road work in
the township annually. At the time of
year that the statute labor 'is performed
almost every individual called out by
the pathmaster is earning as much as
$1 per day at his own employment, and
the majority of them mach more; but
at this sum the Statute labor and town-
ship expenditure 011 roads aggregates
about $7,000 annually, now, let us
tax the -statute laborer at only 50c a day
and allow him to work at home and
earn $1 for himself. He would thus be
able to pay his tax out of his days earn-
ings and still be half a dollar ahead for
the day. The council would then have
$4,400 to - spend ort the roads every
year—a sum sufficient to build perma-
nent bridges sad culverts, cut hills,
grade and gravel roads to such a degree
of perfection that in a very few years
the statute labor tax could be practical-
ly abolished. This you ,may think is
anietherial view, but in these days of

tion is not a slight problem and the true
