that there is no "reason imaginable'

vote of the people. In the opinion of
the trade, even the sovereign people

BETTER STRFETB AND
ROADS FOR CLINTON
The Council Chamber of the Town
lief! was Rued on Monday night to
bear Mr. W. A. McLean, of Toronto,
Provincial Engineer of highways. on
the subject "Better Streets and Roads
for Clinton."'
He pointed out that the appearance
of a street had much to do with the
beauty of the town and was worth a
good deal of consideration by the
Council and citizens, as they were
join v
responsible.
�.
d
The first principle of good streets
was "drainage" and by the use of a
blackboard Mr'. McLean showed • the
system of drainage generally used and
and the necessity for surface and un-
derdrains.
One of the most essential things for
a good road is to have a dry subsoil
and this can be secured only by proper
storm or surface drains and free out-
lets for these, also good connections
for the underdrains, The beet system
of course would be by a regular sewer-
age system but if this was not feasible.
at present, then do the next best and
have good outlets..
Town streets are better to be excava-
ted about 12 inches below the level of
the sidewalks and the ground properly
crowned and rolled, the crown being
about one inch per foot, then covered
with three sizes of broken. stone, well
rolled in and graduated from 'curb to
curb so that you have from 8 to 12 -in-
ches in the centre, and from 2 to 3 in-
ches on the outside.
Streets macadamized in this way and
'curbed o each ch side are very suitable
tor residential and leading entrance
roads, while one of the better pave-
ments was advisable for the business
or ions p t ns cf the Town. By having a
good pavement in the business section
you could do away with crossings, and.
trade would be better equalized as a
person could' cross` the street at any
point.
Both macadam and other pavements
need to be cleaned regularly, and care -

the business section, any one of which
would give good satisfaction.

5300 more than is usually spent) raised
by debenture should cover the coskof

trances and three blocks of pavement
for the business section.
He advised securing an Engineer to
strike the grades and doing well what.
ever is to be done so that it would be a
permanent rather than a, temporary
improvement..
Good streets were advisable from
any Standpoint and always proved a
good investment.

answered many, questions and those
