REPORT OF ROAD COMMISSION
The program of work outlined in
Jumee bas not been quite completed
owing to bad weather conditions, but
the funds provided for the work will
be a ece by the end of the year, as
costs were somewhat higher this
year, due largely to the same cause.
The ;proposed machinery shop , is
nearing completion and will be avail-
able for use' at an early! date, ...-
It is planned to keep the . county
roads open for wheel traffic as far
as possible this winter as was dune
last year: The number of storms and
the amount of . snowfall will affect
the amount of service given and the
value to be reeeive'd for the cost.
Respecting applications for the
Plowing of snow on 'certain township
roads, we recommend that the coun-
ty equipment undertake -this work, if
the work on the county roads permits',
providing the township is. agreeable
to pay the cost.
-'Respecting 'the motion that tee
boundary of Howuc'k and Wallace be
addedt to the, county system, of roads,
the County of Perth has been asked
to state its wishes in the matter, but
np eal reeeiiq bee yet beet. received.
A aetitiplqu, was .xeceive'd from resi-
d'ente of Hoeg iek requesting the conn
*au'ction. of -h' gaped fence at, a breige

saruet a gta•rd fenee as soon as the
new fill has Isettl'ed.

In common with others carrying aaa
outdoor work last 'season, it has been
found that the Wet weather has pre-
vented the accbm'plishment of as
much work as would menially be the
ease.
ease. All operations were handicap-
ped, and fortunately, we did not have
a big program of bitumi'nqus work to
carry but It has been ddffietult ,to
keep the roads in good condition, and
a't times 'some roads were not smeetah,
All of our roads were 'sprayed with
ch'emi'cals this year, and a marked re-
daction in the 'road'aidie weeds is ap-
parent. However, in many cases we
Lind the 'roads atmoat "free of weeds
and to. the adjacent fi'elde we see a
profusion sof theme, which leads tor, the
conclusion that permanent benefit to
the county cannot be eecured until
more action to cleat -my the weeds on
the farms is taken. One of the prin-
cipal 'benefits that I find is that 'by
the object lesson in, weed' d'eatruction,
the property owners many be induced
to consider weed control more ser-
foue'ly.
We .have carried en our Agra of
construction as planned' in June, but
we were not able to do as much on

There has been no .increase in the fees for permits
and licenses. The fees charged in Ontario are
still lower than in any other province of Canada
or in the neighbouring states.

'provinces and states for three popular makes of passenger cars:

Ontario's highway system is `the largest in the Dominion, and for
the very reasonable fees, indicated above, a great highway system
comprising over 20,000 miles is maintained and made avaih bl1 to
the motorists of Ontario and visitors from other parts of America.
The revenue collected from motorists -by way of registration and
license fees and the gasoline tax has made possible the construc-
tion and maintenance of this great system of highways.
' For the convenience of motorists, permits and licenses are issued
through the offices of 189 agents located` throughout the PiravinCe.

The trnmediate position
But these are snatGems that concern
the future, and we are living in the
present. I have already said that I
believed' the most imnepoirtant result of
the recent raids was the effect upon
invasion plans'; and have pointed out
that this is bound to imlfluence the
German mbraie.
I know that it is the Germain east;

while 'exaggerating the, lasses on'the

Years of experience as a neerepa-

somewhat sceptical of official figures'.

done as it 'is found that these aur -

depreciation 'charge will have to be
made- against .such items than for
"other more ,permanent work... These
items- include the rental 'charge for

This ,surples is, I ,think, about 'right
to cover, the depreciation and inter
-
.est 'charges on our "equipment 'during
the period 'covered, but it is ,not-, too
great, which would indicate that some
of our rental rates should. be a little
higher.
It is becoming more apparent that
the common epractiee of scraping
loge gravel back and forth altroses
the read is :net_ so efficient 'nor ser-
vieeable as it should be. We 'have'
stabilized with, clay' a considerable
mileage of our roads, and it would
appear -that this practise should be,
extended., • so that all nnatetenaneee
gravel placed will be provided with
a binder so taut it will 'become
quickly conealidated,
in addres's'ing the jury at the close
of the relent manslaughter trial, the
presiding Judge . said that the 'Crown'
may 'indict some ofi'.1eial or offidi lei

gineer, full responsibility in the mat-
ter and if anyone eommteeted with the

done So, and' if the alleged death trap
existed, and if my negligence was so
apparent as to warrant indictment, it
is remarkable that mea one reported
it. Suet renrarke do net add to lire

"How do you know you brought
