Bulletin—Distributed. on behalf of the Ontario Good. Rod e A.sis ociatio n. The Ontario alighway Improvement dot, when first introduced, included. a section providing for the e.onstruction of roads to epeeifications approved.. by the Public Works Department, before the counties were to be entitled to partici- pate -in the Covernment,grant. Thie pro- vision was omitted in the an as finally passed, the one million dollars aeneroere• ated being largely for educational work, and to encourage the counties to build and rnaintaio a bette,r CILIAS of roads. The result has been that twenty colmties have assumed 3,620 miles of road, on which $2,681,435 has been expended, one- third being contributed by the Province. Some of the work on the county sys- tems has been of an elementary charac- ter. This was to be expected, and was largely due to two muses (1) The lack of experienced road superintendent's to inimedia.tely take tharge of tne work, and a consequent term of expeoiment in each county until definite standards were reached; and (2) uncertainty on the part of councillors and ratepayers as to road -building, the organization neees- sary, and results to be expected..

TAX ON 'MOTOR VEITIOLF.S. I. "For Provincial co-operation for mitintenotte.e of county roads by levying a tax of fifty cents per horsepower on motor veldelee." The horsepower of all the liceneed care in Ontario is estimated at 240,000. This would produce a revenue of $120,- 000—and the number of automobiles is tepidly incerasing. INCREASED PROVINCIAL AID. n. "roe increasing the proportion of Provincial grant where roads are built, a.ceording to a standard to be determin- ed by the Provincial Department of Pablic Works." Thie is the original idea contained in the first draft of The Highway Improve - merit Act—minty roads ehould be eon- strueted in accordance with specifics - tions prepared by a central authority. There should be uniformity in every county where the local conditions are the same. The conetruction of roads of a. higher standard veill tost more money. rhe suggestion is that the cost of roads of this class ahould be provided, one- third. by the Dominiee, one.third by the PrOVinee„ and one-third by the convey. PROVINCIA.L ITIQUWAYS. "III, For a system of rtorbtelai high- 'impto be asemned and built by the Province." Thee is a new ideae reeeived with tavor by tlio Provincial authoritiee sic e the offer of Federal aid was aeuouuced. A. system of roads meeting all the county tOWnS to be am:turned, constructed, and maintained by the Province the Fed- eral Government assisting in proportion to the expeuditure, would be Ideal. This would require 2,000 miles, costing ap- proximately $8,000 per mile, or sixteen minket dollars—not- a largo sum, when we eoneider thet it would be a number of years before thia mileage could be eompleeed. The equalization of road expenditures in this way would give great unpetus to the work of road improvement in the lo. cal munieipalities, and be some compen- sation for the neeeseary dodging and .dust created by the over.increasing tree', fie of motor vehicles. FEDERAL BUREAU OF HIGHWAYS. "IV. For the establiallinent by the DontiniOn Government of a Borean of highways, along the lines of the Office - of Public Roads in connection. with the United States Department of Agrieul. ture." Tide would be valuable for the colleto tion of information in reference to pave- ments, and highway construction, the determination of speeifications, and gen- erally to harmonize the work of road im- provement throughout Canada, for Welch Federal aid would be available. FEDERAL AID. ° NO question of as great importance as Federal Aid for highway improvement has been euggeste,d for many years. This. Is no doubt tho result of the gradual growtb of public opinion to an apprecia- tion of the fact that the improvement of the main highways is as neeessary to the further development of the cows - try as railways have been in the past. It is expected that the Dominion Gov- ernment Will refer the .whole question to a eommiseion to report on highway im- provement, the extent to which Federal at dehouhl be provided, and the advisa- bility of establishing a Good Roads BUr. can at Ottawa. It will not be diffiendt to apply Federal aid in Ontario, but it is not certain tha•t a similar system will work out iu Quebec, or eome of the other Provinces that have not taken up the question along modern lines, It will be necessary in every Province to divide the roade. The four lasses eugested for Ontario are: I. Provincial roads, to be conetructed and maintained with Federal aid. II. County roads, to be constructed, and maintained to a specified standard., with Provincial and Federal aid. III. County roads, construeteel with - Provincial slid, as at present, under The Highway Improvement Act. INT. Roads ebnstz-neted and maintained by the local municipalities.
