Campbell, engineer, who was appointed Provincial Instructor of Roadinaking of Ontario, by an Order-in-Couni-il, dated April 15. 1896. Since then he has been lecturing: and working at. the good roads probâ€" lem all over the country. His official report has recently been issued, and contains much valuable information. Mr. Campbell notes the fact that the improvement of roads in Ontario has not kept pace with the progress made along other lines, He illustrates his system of personally pointing,r outroadâ€" way defects to Boards of Works, exam- ining available material, deciding on the best system, and presenting the Council with an oral report, in addition to an address, covering the ground. During 1896 he visited the following places: {lawns and villagesâ€" Cobourg, Arn- prior, ingersoll, Winchester, Pembroke, Seaforth, Berlin, Orangevilie, Brighton, Carleton Place, Iroquois, Gait, Clinton. Paisley, Barrie, Port Hope, Cornwall. Morrisburg, Newmarket, Woodstock. Paris. l (i‘ownshipsrâ€" Beckwith, Matilda, Wil- liamsburg, Roxborough, Chariotten- burg, Pembroke, North Norwich, Ei- derslie, West Zorra, Hamilton. Moun- tain, Finch, Cornwall, Lochiel, Tucker- amith, Cavan, Greenock, Puslinch,York; Winchester, Osnabruck, Kenyon, .Lan- caster Stanley, East Nissouri, East Zorra, Hallowell. ' The report advocates a. reorganiza- tion of the statute labour laws, especi- ally asto _the collection of the road tax, which is now said to beineffectual, wasteful and unjust. I_n Maiden Town- ship, in Essex County, the people abol- ished the statute labour system by byslaw. The vote was two to one, and they are now framing plans for a new system. WHERE THE FAULT LIES. iAs toroad construction, Mr. Camp- bell says the question of tires is an immanent one, and if tires of suitable Width were used, a very great part of the road question would be solved. The proper application of the energy which is now wasted would, he thinks, give us asystem of roads that would render the good roads movement unnecessary. As a country we should conserve our energies and exercise them in the most judicious manner. We should learn of the history of roads in countrieswhere they dated back a thousand years, and not waste money in Wuiative efforts. The question is both very broad and very local. No onehciass of pavement can .be clearly speedied for all streets, and no one class or road can be adopt~ ed in I‘ul‘al‘dlfi'brlfits, but these can all be di'v1ded. into classes and placed be- fore councils and the people iiu sucha manner as to Inadel‘iaily aid in proporâ€" tioning [pavements to requirements, and to the ability on. the various «immuni- ties. Ihere are the country roads which are least travelled; there are those more heaViiy travelled leading to highways; there are the main highways which carry _the traffic of extensive areas; there is another class of roads most iiirgeiy travelled of all, necessarily rare, Winich verge finally into the streets of large cities; there are the streets of yillages, _of towns, of cities, all of vary- ing requirements, regarding which the most reliable information should be procured. There are materials suit- able for all classes of roads, and there arep'rinciples involved in the construc« tion oi tpavements as with any other Structure. SOAIE SUGGES'MONS. The data for determining the annual expenditure of moneyund labour on the streets and roads has never been collected With sufficient accuracy to permit a close. _stzitelmeint of this ele- ment of our national taxation. Enough is knmvn, however to warrant. the asâ€" sertion that it is millions annually. Of this vast sum the greater part is wasted in ill-corntrived, and ttirnporary repairs needed to keep the roads ina passable condition in Ilhlt‘, present state oil out taxation it is difficult to expect the people to impose a special tax to speed.in improve country roads generally. It _will be found that to at- tain the end in V‘iElW the best plan is to assemble as far as possible the forces at work, concentrating tine expendi- is a clever young;r ture of money and diverting to duraliie< as much as lossibie of that which is now paid for merely temporary repairs. Tillie most reasonable explanation of ex- l§tlng conditions is to be found in the little attention which has been paid to the effect and value of good roads.
