The public are again raising · their volces, in a wail that can be heard at: Tytam, on the perennial question of our local roads. Those on the lower lovel certainly are anything but credit- abio to the place. Wo hava bandly had an inch of rain this year, and yet the whole length of Queen's Koud Central is one voit quagmire, with occasional stretches of impassable flute. Evon in

dry weather the roads are minintained in a gronaly careless way-they are as furrowed nan potato field, and the aya lem of sweeping is simply dilutie. · On the upper ronds, where the trafic. fa nominn, macadam is all rigat, but in the main-street asphalt or egnerate paving would be infinitely cheaper, cleaner, more permanent, and expel tions than the present mul-and-dust sart.
