It seems apparent that if the slough were cleaned out as has been promised for several years there would he no cause for complaint, The back ing up of water from the slough causes a serious decrease in the, value of hay, which at the present time is a very marketable product, but water causes inestimable damage' to hay when the stack is flooded all around it. o Mr. T.

A: McLean, C. E., provincial' engineer of "'highways, of- the : province off-- Ontario 'considerable .pro'gress has beeri made hy .several ;counties in the. province in the improvemnt of inair highway systems .through- a provincial aid plan. The report. which as- dated, 1910, is for the year- 1*90*,-.^at contains much information relative to the work done sincef the'enactment of the Highway Improvement Act in 1001. This ,1aw, though, differing in many respects from the state aid laws of several commonwealths in this country - is an application of the" same principle. Its objects as stated in. the report, are, "To en courage a businesslike system of road management, build a system of main roads and create an object lesson, in- management and construction for town3hip municipalities." It is- further stated that a fourth object in view is "the (more equitable, distribution, of cost whereby, through the provincial grant and, general .county tax, cities and towns ih some degree contribute to the cost." The act appropriated $1,000,000 from the consol'dated revenue fund of the* province; for the aid ,of the counties availing themselves of it in the prescribed manner. The act by-laws by which it . establishes by-lawsby .{wh:'ch it establishes a system of highways. Toll roads may bn 'ncluded. in "the system by purchase, or, by freeing from tollfa Whatever roads are assumed to form the system are expec':>"d to be leading market roads, and. to be so chosen as to adequately meet local improvements and , at (thd same time to form a connected ay stem as far as. practicable. Where conditions are, such that .maintain lii^ the continuity of the main road. system precludes, the possibility of properly benefitting and village or" town, the county council, is empo'w. ered to make.such a grant to such village 'or-iown,pt an. amount suf f i-. cient to ^render, the benefits con- f'eir*ed;~ equitable for the whole county.-. ��������� " ������'A'fter passing the necessary by* fa-ws and^clesignating the "roads ~fb tie Included in the county system, estimates of the cost of the wort are made and the plan submitted .to the- provincial government through the "minister of- public works. - The plan having been approved by the lieutenant governor in.council, the county may proceed with ihe work and is entitled to re ceive from .'the provincial grant an amount equal to one-third of the total expenditure, . .' These payments are made at the. close *fit ��������� each year on presentation of state ments in 'accordant with the prescribed procedure. County funds for the prosecution of 'the work may be rased by special tax-levies or by the issuance of debentures payable in thirty.years and ndt.ex-- ceediug ih amount two per cent of; the equalized assessment of the county. The work of improvement is car-" ried out under the direction of the county council but subject to the1. regulations of the department pf .public works. 'These provide that each county council shall appoint: a capable superintendent or engineer to have direct charge of the work in the county. He, in turn,Is expected to place competent fore-' men on eajch piece of work under his charge; Superintendents and. foremen are to be iselected .with, reference to their ability, and -are to bq retained, if satisfactory, in order to secure increasing flufficien' cy. throughout tbepvorking forces.'
