The storage capacity at the W e l­lesley Roller Mills has been comp­letely exhausted so that Mr. Reiner has been compelled to cease buying grain for the present. Abont 20.- 000 bushels are in the mill jnst now. and the quantity is being reduced as rapidly as the mills can grind It. The mill, however, is still buying some o f the hard varieties, such as Scott, Amber, Reliable, Democrat. Railway connection would make a wonderful improvement in the Wel­lesley grain market

ROAD-MAKING REFORM.

In view of the strong feeling ex­pressed at the Wellesley nomination meeting recently we publish the following suggestions by Provincia Road Commissioner Campbell, as showing one way in which the making and sustaining of townshi] roads could be carried on if the. statute labor system should be abol­ished:

Do away, with the statute labor »-oll entirely.

To raise the money required, levy a rate on the assessment- of the township. {This would require a tax not likely exceeding 5<J c< nts for every day of statute labor as now demanded.—Ed.]

For road purposes, divide the township into a convenient number o f divisions, usually four.

Apportion the money equally among the road divisions, keeping in view all circumstances, v iz .: im- l>ortunce of roads, works needed on them, benefits resulting to the greatest number of people, amount o f traffic, assessment, etc.

Appoint one township road com­missioners to advise and consult j with, and carry out the direction of the council.

Councillors should not act as com-} missioners, as they are subject to] undue influence from the rutepay-; ers and their term of office is un­certain.

A general plan lor road improve­ment should 1m* laid down by the! council for the commissioner to ! follow.

This plan should specify the wjuth u> u- traded, width and, depth of road metal, character el drainage, etc ; ol ail roads.

Roads o f important e should not be loss than twenty-four lcet between the inside edges of open ditelies.

No roads should be of less width than eighteen.

Ea’ i.v in the ye.-.r the council und the commissioner should go over all ; the roads to consider the work t" lie undertaken.

Work of construction, sued ns hauling gravel, ditches and drain­age', building of bridges and e;;I verts, should lie done by contract, and snjK'rviscd by the road com­missioner.

Tbo sume man anil tennis should ■: lie hired to ojH'rate the lhachinorv for fhe entire season, or longer, if] possible, as they become proficient and do better work. This applies, jxirtieularly to the ojieratitm of a ;

°roud grader.The commissioner sh ufld keep a |

pay roll to return quarterly to the ] council, showing w m have been jiaid and the amount jiuio, tiid io .I to be then filed for auditors.

This roll will" art us a cheek on favoritism on the part ol the Com m iss ion erW ork should- lie divide, i as much os possible among the resi­dents of tin; tmvndwp desiring it.

Work should be e >:um,. . cod w ipr a definite end in view ami > >ntm- ued systematically lrom year to year if necessary until the entire ro«d mileage has been brought to a pr i.-er stainn.rd
