The dilapidated condition of the election highway constructed on the Malpeque Road by the Leo. Govern- ment this summer, referred to editorially in yester- day’s Guardian, has naturally caused widespread in- dignation throughout Queen’s County. This highway, which links the so-called McIntyre Highway with Elm Avenue, was built at enormous cost, the gravelled road being torn up to make way for the more expensive pav- ing system experimented with last fall on the stretch of roach-less than a mile in length-which the Public Works Minister modestly christened after himself. The connecting highway built-in the same fashion this sum- mer was completed a few weeks ago, and the fact that it is already falling to pieces is noted with astonish- ment and indignation by every one passing over it.

' A conservative estimate o! the coat of the bu. Government's ck- Jrlmentol work on the two and one-eighth miles of highway on the Malpequ Road would be wall over $50,000. The lo-called Mclutyro Highway alous cost over 828.000. Tllc taxpayers cf the Province paid half the cost, the other half com- ing out of the Dominion unemploy-
