One of the most annoying
things a motorist can come in
contact with is the farmer who
puts a gate across the main gov-
ernment road.. The fact that the
provincial government permitted
that gate at the old Macdonald
farm to remain so long is most
remarkable. Hundreds of motors,
rigs and saddle horses are all held
up for minutes while their drivers
open and close that gate. and
that gate serves the farmer in no
way whatever, other than to
satisfy his apparent desire to
inconvenience and annoy all trav-
ellers, No farmer in any country
has any right to fence off a pub-
lic highway and the sooner the
government orders all such gates
removed the sooner will be re-
moved a danger of strife.

There is no indication that the
Burns Lake-Endako connecting
link will be completed this year.

part of the government those few
miles of road seem to be more or
less of a joke. For years we
have been promised that the main
highway would be connected up,
and still no rig can pass over.

servant of the public he has been
areal failure. That the Burns
