MEETING AT HOPE RIVER.

~~ -- —-—

At a meeting heldin the Hope River Hall, on Wednesday, the 22nd inat.,

had reported in favor of the change,

|

Patrick Reid was called to the chair aad

the undersi; ned appointed Becretary.

The chairman eaid that a delegate had been sent to the Hon beter Sinclair asking to attend the meeting and that a letter had Seen seat to Premier Farquhar- son inviting kim to be present. The chairman regretted that neither of the gentlemen were present, and stated that the fir:t business before the meeting was to diseues thechanging of the centre road, and called on Mr. Francie Trainor.

Mr. Trainor spoke at some length on the

| difienlties underwhich they labored by

the change made in centre road. He siated

that there were four bridges om the new line in adistance of about forty chains, complained that the bridges had bee: bul too low and that the hills on the new

line were so eteep that it was imposs:bl: to ban! any load upthem. He wou'd no complain of thecbange if they bad been given aread atall passable. He believed it would be a great waste of public money io try to n ake the new road fit for pab! travel, agit would cost a very large sun and then would not be as good as he old roa?. Heclosed with a very strong app: el to the meet:ng toatk the government to give them back theold roadas a simple matter of justice to the inhabitants of centre road.

Mr. Moses Walsh was the next speaker He stated that the petition for changing the road was not signed by the residents and that the road bad been changed by eecre: intrigue. He claimed thatthe old road had been stolen from them at the sacrifice of the pull c interests to help the private interes's Of afew government supporters He stated shat the bridges were built at a season Of the year when it was impossible to dothe work properly. There was not a horse in Lot 22, that could bul 700 pounds up the hill onthe new road. Their forefathers in their wiedom had «ng'ueer- ed the old road so as io avoid the diffi_ulties whch were to be met on the stroight line. Stanley Bridge was their only market aud they would bave to haul «ll their prodace vp these hills, which would be an impoe- sibility. Ihey bad a good road for fifty years. otbe old live which had not cost ibe government twenty dellars in the last twenty years. He eaid the new road bad already cost nearly $200 and would require $200 more to make it at all passable. Ow- ing to the steep grades it could not be made equelto the old Road withouta very large expenditure of public money. All the bridges would require to be pulled down and raised several feet bigher before they would be of any service. He showed that it weuli cost a large amount of money to keep those torm bridges in repair; and ia addition to the four bridges on the line of vew road that they would have to buy a right of way and build a bridge to enablea poor widow to get a right of way from her little farm which they had deprived ber of by changing the line of road. Mr. Waleh closed a very-eloquent epeech by asking the meeting tosend a memoria! to the Government to give them back their old and level road,

Mr. Parsons was asked to give his ohivion. He stated that he was so speaker but had been through the new road once and never wanted to go through it again.

William H. Hogan then addressed the meeting. Hesaid Mr. Parsons had said more in one sentence than con'd have been done in a speech ef ) isu usir. fe (Mr, Hogan) bad more cvnrage than Mr. Parsrone. He had ventured through the road twice, the lasttime in company with a friend who was not used to hilly roads and wovld nottrust himeelf in bis cars riage but gotout and led his hor-e down the hills. H-: complained that while the supervisor was wastisg a lot of money in opening &@ road to incoavenience the pub- lic there was scarcely afbridge in the north end of the Distriet but had a pole stuck in it asa danger signal, Henot only com- plained of the first expenditure, which he claimed was a waste of public money, but stated that owing to the poor material we had for constructing the bridges tbey had made on expenditure which could not be justified by any body of bhosest men and bave created a debt, which would cost 10 or 15 per cent every year, to keep theze bridges in repair. He asked the veople not to take his word inthe matter but to visit the localities and judge for thewselves,as no description be could give would show up the iniquity that bad been perperated against the inhabitan‘s of centre roadat the instance of a govern~ meut official to serve the interests of afew of hie privateand personal friends at the expenee of the trevelling puplic.

Mr. James Vuroer would like to know how the mat'‘ers#'ood. Had theold road been really closed? From his experience he hed no faith in the honesty of govern-~ mente,andin bis opinion it took abou 15 yearsto right @ wrong jerpetra edt by @ government.

Mr. Bernard Quinn anderetood there was to be $200 more expended on the new road, and he came down to see if he could not get the money. If he cou!d get the money he would not object to the change.

Mr. William Campbell was called by thechairman. He siated that he came there for information. His attention had been called to this matter whea running his election in August last by some of the supporters of the present government, but owing to the Jimited time at his dis- posal he did not visit tbe locality as re- quested. He considered ita matter for tue inhabitante. He had never vieited the new line of road uatil today, but could say that the statem=ente of previous epeak- era were not exeggerated. He could not of course at this season of the year examine the roed svfficiently close to state what amount of money would be required to make it passable for the public; but the road at present is entirely useless for public travel. He ‘did not consider the Government were #0 much to blame in the matter as their officials, If,as he had been informed, the Government engineer

{

the government must surely have been deceived by the reportof the engineer sod superviser, ashe could not believe that the Commissioner of Public Worke noraoy member of the governmeut would bea party, koowing,by to such an ontrage against the puble interest. He recom- mended that the meeting ask the govern- mentto remedy the evil, The govern. meat, #8 consciensic us men, when the case was properly put before them would not allow a little cl que of interested persons to intertere with por sacrfice the public interests to serve their own private ends. Mr. John ©. Clarke was called on by he chairman, and spoke at some length. He said thet it was a bad job to have open~ -d the new read, and in his opinion it never should have been done Theold road was

good ened tod been well engineered the © 1 pone +8 to avoid the difficulties he Mr. Ciark spoke at

reeat leng bo wher public iesues, ring (he Varian» requirements of the ountry with reterence to branch railways. ‘le spoke in his usual el quent style strik~ iog right and left and speaking in an iltra party smrit Is would be impossible n this brief outline «. do justice to this ble effect.

W. H. Hogan replied to Mr. Clark, scor- ng him strongly regarding the trea'ment ‘bey had received at the bauds of Sir, Louis in the matter of the petition they bad eent to Ottawa on the question of branch rail- ways.

After some further discussion the fol- lowing resolution was moved by William Power and seconded by Jobn Trainor:

Whereas, The government bas chang ed the site of the centre road (a level and good road which has cost the country lirtle or nothing for the last twenty-five years) oaline which has eniaieda large ex-~- penditure and which is still almost im. passable for the traviling public owing to the steep hills on the new line.

And whereas, It would sti] require a very large amount of money betore the presen‘ new road would be at all passable for public treffic besides entailing a Leavy expeuditure for all time to come in keep ing up four expensive bridges where only one is required on the old road.

And whereas, Jbe present new rosd isof no benefit tothe general travelling public but for the private benefii of a few individ aals.

Therefore resolved, Thatin the opin- ion of this meeting, the closing of the new road and continuing the old route would not only bea great benefit to the general putlec but in the interests of economy and a very large saving of public expenditure.

Carried unanimously.

It was then moved by William Camp-~ bell and seconded by Jobn C. Clark that a copy of the foregoing resolution be for- warded to Premier Farquharson and the Commissioner of Public Works.

Afier the resolution bad been disposed of William Campbell addressed the meeting on the pullic issues of the day, dealing at eome length with our present road system, education and the question of taxation, speaking from an independent standpoint and urging the people to unite in be intereste of economy and on a com- mon platform to put the financial affairs of this Province in a proper condition.

The meeting then closed.
