* g In condemning present methods of making _ road repair®s |\ Edllor Foster of Waterloo says in this respect the Waterloo | 1 leard of Works was centuries behind the times. He characterâ€"|" w the condition of many of Waterloo‘s roads as "dangerous | md a disgrace." Councillor Foster‘s condemnation does not apâ€" Fm Waterloo only. It is quite as applicable to Kitcherer and to F‘wtically every other small city and town in Ontario. ! L‘l We are woefully lacking in system in the matter of road| ntenance. â€" Instead of having a permanent road â€" foreman, whose duty it would be to regularly inspect the roads of the city ind make small repairs the moment they were needed, when the M eould be done at little cost of either labor or material, unâ€"‘ ler the present systemâ€"or rather lack of itâ€"roads aye permit-: :: to get into such a state of disrepair that they are past mendâ€" i and a new road has to be built. Would any sane business man" pr property owner permit similar methods to be applied to the Rare of his property ? Would he allow the woodwork to rot awayl before he applied paint to preserve itâ€" and thus be up against the Recessity of partly rebuilding it. Certainly not. Yet our present mehazard»system of making road rppairs is quite as wasteful. _5 In addition, however, to the extravagance, so far as“cost of road mainfenance is concerned,‘ there is the enormous waste in unnecessary wear and tear on vehicles, due to bad roads. A more erious item in the the indictment is the element of danger. ;wre are today on George street, Waterleoâ€"and probably simâ€" flnr conditions could be found in this cityâ€"hogsbacks in the road, gue to improper backfilling on sewer excavations that might re-! suit in damage to vehicles and possible serious injury to occupants of the vehicles passing over them at a fair rate of speed. This flft of thing could be easily avoided by requiring every contractor iio take out a permit and make a deposit of say $10.00 or $20.00 ‘before he was allowed to make any excavation in a public street. "The deposit would be returned to him less inspection fee upon his putting the street in as good condition as he found it. $ We hope Councillor Foster will continue his campaign against ‘present methods of road maintenance with a view to having them righted. â€" Even after spending the vacation at looks good when most people return. â€" A history of those two Germa at the Courtland Avenue entrance intense interest, but it is not likely + The railroads are petitioning for a ten per cent. increase in freight rates, and twenty per cent. in passengex rates, The cost of shipping and traveling does not seem to have reached the peak as yet.
