Of this amount leas than $9,000 has been sent out of the; county 'for Steel, cement and other supplies, and the remaining $161; x10 has been dis- tributed among the ratepayers of the county, while about $90,000 eirey was raised by direct levy fro.. olein. Most of this wprk is carried t dur- ingthe seasons at which the farmer is not busy, so that the production, of the county is not curtailed and to a large extent much of the time sneer on the roads would otherwise be lost. Moreover,- as the' costs ere hreomin•t lower, and competition for jabs i- be- coming more active, itwould appear to be the wrong time to halt deeek, - went work on the roads in spite of • the facts that prier: for f-.cni pro- ducts are Very low. Many rateeereet's throughout the --county are in favor of cutting road rxlrcndicure very e;o1- siderably on account of the high t,.x-i es that they have to pay, while, as a • shatter of fact, the county read rates of Huron are the loves' ties in the Pe vi:: '.• 1 F. ere were abolished entirely, ethe r:+te- payer even in the rural munieiva'ity would still have 90 per cent. of his taxes to pay and would have ne roses. .The form of improvement which is most necessary at the present time is the regrading of many of our roads. This work has been largely left over in the past owing to scarcity and high cost of labor and the press of other matters. These conditions no longer exist, however, and this work will affect the improvements to the roads as follows: • 1. -Widening them to a definite width, making them safe for the traffic of them. 8.. -Draining by ditches to an out- let. 3. -Eliminating deep ditches near the road and otherwise improving dangerous places. 4. -Extending culverts to the same width as the road. 5. -Improving 'hills.. Exclusive of necessary re -surfacing, culverts and expensive cuts, this work will cast about $60,000 per mile. It should be carried out in accordance with a definite programme, which should extend over a period of ten or fifteen years. I am submitting also herewith, a list of the orders that have been is- sued since last June.

PARLIAMENTARY LEITER The people of Canada have removed all doubt as to their support of the policies outlined by Hod William Lyon Mackenzie King, illustrious de- scendant of illustrious Canadians, by their verdict at the pulls on Tuesday of last week. They have also left no doubt es to their acceptance of the challenge flung out by itt. lion. Arthur Meighen, when he accepted office, seized the ns rind hung on to office despite the demands of the people for a return to e presentative gevernrnent. '1"0- people have further emphatic- ,;ly declared that they want na fur- il:er e.,aiitious and log -rolling, but r('::.1 ['Ivy denuuid rule by a govern- �r.rnt s'rir 1 free 0 mind and a policy. ef lie own. and the necessary ability .ro• to make that policy and :f the policy is not a , , t:. stand up and face the -ry without any camouflage. .l:r.•o, t'•:n•o provinces there has , ur ;:uu,us voice shouting for I :\ fourth has sent half - t. support the Premier :11':h (Ontario) has shown is I,.vr-s r,cit1ir Government nor f•' •eie;sive to wc•h an extent as was by both of those parties., 'i'h•• West only failed to give Lib- ,(a:isre its quota of seats, but on the ocher hand has declared in favor of the policy of political isolation a- gainst which Hon. Mr. King warned when he spoke in the Western cities. British Columbia, declared some days :.go to be solidly in favor of protec- tion, has upset the dope by electing three Liberals -and three Progressives, and Manitoba defeated Mr. Meighen. • e • The result, 120 seats, or a clear ma- jority over beth the other parties, cannot but be heartening to Liberals everywhere. It is one of the greatest government defeats in history. Out of 235 seats the government only captured 50, or less than one quar- ter, and the Canadian Beaver is do- ing the very opposite of the Govern- ment posters and r•- a^'Cuing the American Eagle, be, out of ite "high protection , meet the Old Bird on good terms. The utter foolishness of the govern- ment's poster campaign is only too apparent. Despite the expenditure of thousands upon thousands of good Canadian dollars in this and other methods of attempting to persuade Canadians that "Canada needs Meig= hen", the people have kicked over the traces and announced that what this country really needs is a cabinet of the wisest and best Canadians who can be brought together, together with a policy which is in the inter- ests of every class and race and creed in the Dominion. • * • Hon. Mr. King's victory in North York was a wonderfully heartening one. While the government forces and .Mr, Burnabeealike proclaimed to all and sundry that they were going to "wipe the floor" with the Liberal Leader, they have found the positi.ens reversed. There need be no fear as to Hon, Mr. King facing the electors there again in the necessary by-eleoo tion. The standing of the parties 24 'hours after .the polls closed was: Liberals, 120, with a possibility of reaching 122; Progressives, 62; Conservatives, 50, and Labor, 2. And there may be more 'supporters added to the Liberal party before the House Opens. Premier Meighen and all of his French ministers were defeated as al- so were•Hon. J. W. Edwards, Hon. R. J. Manion, Hon. J. R. Wilson, Hon. C. C. Ballantyne, Hon. F. B. Mc- Curdy and Hon.- E. K. Spinney. The defeat of 12 ministers tells the story of .the Government's debacle. There were n o the Liberal side, of course, but they were more than offset by the landslide which occurred in some of the other constituencies. Taken all in all, it was a wonderful victory, and Liberals all over Canada are to be pardoned it they feel considerable satisfaction in it. Quebec was only one of three provinces to return a solid block. Now the country is looking forward confidently to Koh. Mackenzie King for wise leadership. The new Pee- mier-elect will not be able in one day or many days to unravel all the tangles which Conservative misman- agement has brought about, but Can- adians can rest assured that he will be doing his beat, with the assistance of the best Liberal minds available, to give equal justice to all classes and special privileges to none. The P day of "one-man government" in Canada Is over. The new Premier -elect has told Canada that she may expect a cab- inet representative of the beat minds available from all the Provinces of Canada. In that cabinet there will be repreaentatives of the labor cities, returned soldiers, agricnitirrlete, busi- ness and profesaional hien, who - well be them, not ae representing pori" got �but � t filta4 ' 02 y Bless the eemaledon and . working bring Maeda ale A*.

But the country can Cruet; Mr. Kong to' make a sound choice, and to base his appointments on what the country needs, rather than ' any other consideration. To -day, OM greatest handicap to reform and progress is the packed Senate, brought about by, Mr. 33418 -- hen's action in appointing ell possible political friends to emits in the red chamber. Seeing that defeat ,iu the country was inevitable, the Cgnserv- ative Leader took the bull by the horns and sought to defeat the 'wish es of the people by filling every pos- sible vacancy with one of his friends. Some of the eleventh -hour appoint- ments and contract rewards may be repudiated by the new government. That warping had been given by the Hon. Mr. King just before Election Day, so those who benefitted by the dying acts of the Meighen. Govern- ment had fair warning. But that is a development of which the future must take care. ave "b a th "0 week. Gee, 4 eau took hit ' teal•" x.

He was the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Jordan, of the third concession of Hibbert. William, who was born and lived all his life on the farm where he d,ied,_was a young man whose whole being seemed {filed with unselfish devotion to his par- ents, brothers, sisters and friends, and his death name as an irreparable loss. His genial manner and his kind, gentle disposition endeared him to all who knew him and his many unselfish deeds and generous acts will long be remembered. He was truly a Christ- ian gentleman, a consistent member of St. Colurnban's Roman Catholic Church, St. Columban, Ont., and he died fortified with all the rites of his church. His death is particularly sad as he was the only member of the family who was at home with his parents; and it is the first break in a .large family of ten children. The funeral took place Saturday morning, December 10th, from his home, to St. Columban church, where a requiem mass was celebrated by his -pastor, Rev. ' Father Wthite. The remains we're afterwards laid -to rest in St. Columban cemetery. The very large- ly attended funeral and the interest and sympathy shown during his short but severe illness, paid a fitting tri- bute to his excellent qualities and his solicitude for the welfare. of others. The pall bearers were six of his boy friends: Joseph Stapleton, Joseph Feeney, Albert Jordan, Ger-, Mel Doyle, Maurice Melady and Maurice Dalton. Deceased is mourn- ed by his sorrowing parents, three brothers and six sisters: Michael, of London; Mrs. Dougal McCormick, of Parkhill; Frank and Mrs. Peter Fitz- patrick, of the 4th concession of Hib- bert; Mrs. J. J. Dewan, of Luean; • John, of Toronto; Sister M. Alma, of St. Joseph's Convent, Ford, Ont.; Elinor, teaching -at Welland, and Teresa, teaching et Guelph, to all of whom we extend our sincerest sym- pathy. TUCKERSMITH A dance wi11 be held in S. 8.
