Patrolinen are a pointed by the engineer to ta charge of so many miles of roa and he in turn hires labor from municipality to keep the roads in 1 pair. The traffic demand on t roads to -day is far greater than. was a very few years ago, and th demand will increase more, as Me heavy auto trucks are brought in serviee.

Dewey, of Tilsonbarg has accepted a unarnimous call to the Baptist church in Goderich. He will enter upon his new duties about the 1s1 of February. 1.- Certainly if the main roads were kept up to the requirements of the traffic some of the local divisions would have a great deal more road work to perform than those more remote. For every hundred dollars a township spends on the county roads the government pays forty, which under the old system would-be lest. It has been argued that the money secured from automobile licenses should be refunded to the municipality in which they are col- lected to be used .00 the roads in that municipality. • That . would work out to the advantage of the larger centres. Take Exeter for ex- ample. If our town received the money collected in the town for auto licenses it would pay all the expense connected with road ,construction 111 the munieipality and *would leave a handsente margin besides. The lar- ger the municipality the more benefit they would derive from such an ar- rangement. Townships, generally, receive more in grants than what would be received if they received the money derived from auto licen- ses. It seems the present system works to the advantage of the rural municipalities and as the work of completing the more travelled roads progresses the others in due.. time will receive More attention. The present system may be abused but the old statute labor system was abused and any system. that can, be devised will be more,,or less abused.

This consideration would apply to or- dinary refreshment stands, ice cream parlors, and to hotel bars. HOTEL BARS It has been assumed that since the „repeal of the license laws under which hotel bars were closed on the Lord's Day, these may now be open on Sunday and that since the license of standard hotels permits them to sell candies, cigars,. cigarettes-, this business, whether at the bar or else- where„on the premises, may,., be con- ducted , on Sunday,, Hew -ever; the sale of tempera,nce drinks gen Sunday Dir no mere neeeesary than the sale of d't i,ntoixica„tdn.g.„ drinks, and,had thessale of intoxicating .clrinke,on Sunday not been prohibited by the license sy,stem it would have heen illegal under the LOrd's DaY Act, and the, lieepee. to sell candies, etc., does net danry with. it' the privilege of violating the Sun- day law.
