can write on that subject without hav-

Moreover, the effort of preparing
these essays will be beneficial indi-

P.UI3LIC MCl/WAYS
Writing in the Ontario Gazette .re-
cently, the Hon, George S. Henry,
Minister .of Public Works and High-
ways 0f the Province, gave the pea -
pie of Ontario some interesting and
instructive facts in regard 'to the .de-
;partment over which he .presides. In
speaking of motor transportation in
the province, he points out that, last
year there were registered no fewer
than 389,523 motor vehicles, of
which 348,922 belonged tothe pass-
enger class. These figures represent
an increase of 45,00o compared,. with
1926, and the minister makes the as-
tonishing. statement that probably
5o,00o additional motor cars 4wi11 be
owned and operated in Ontario. dur-
ing 1928.
His statement in regard to the
highways also affords some import-
ant information, There are now no
fewer than 51,989 miles of roads in
the province, of which 7708 miles
are country roads, 2411 provincial
highways; and 41,870 township roads.
These all come' under the administra-
tion of the department of public high-
ways and to the building and main-
tenance) of which the provincial gov-
ernrnent has contributed. Of the
241e utiles of provincial highways,
576 miles are of concrete, 64 miles of
asphalt, 28 miles :of penetration, 433
utiles of macadam, and, 903 miles of
gravel. As time goes on the predict-
ion is made that the percentage of
macadam and gravel roads will be "de-
creased and permanent surfaces sub-
stituted,. The province expended
the large sum of $16,362,53o, of
which , the Provincial Government
paid $9,63o,129. 0f this amount
$5,430,515 was paid for provincial
highways, $2,878;724 for county
roads, and $1,32o, 888 for township
roads. To meet these amounts, the
government raised by, special taxes
which
more than '$11,Soa,000 to v,hrch ihe
gasoline • tax contributed $4,000,000
and the sale of motor vehicle permits
nearly $6,000,000.
The people of the province ought to
peruse these facts carefully, in order
that they may have a clearer ender-
standing of the problems of the high-
ways department. It is evident that,
if the people keep demanding im-
proved roads still greater sums will
have to be expended which wilI
have to be provided by taxation. Mr.
Henry gives the assurance that during
the corning year, the department in-
tends to insist upon a satisfactory
observance of . the traffic laws of the
province, If this determination is
carried out, it will receive the earn-
est support of the people of the pro-
vince.
