FIFTY YEARS AGO.
OPENING UP THE COUNTRY.
THE NEED FOR ROADS.
(From the HERALD of May 29, 1863.) We are one of those who believed that about the most important work of a Provincial Government is that of opening up the country by building bridges- and forming roads, and so constantly causing an increase in our in the quantity of land brought under cultivation, and in the amount of produce of home growth to supply the wants of the colony. We have pertinaciously and consistently advocated such a policy, and wo are glad to find that some decided effort is at last to bo made to carry roads throughout every district of the North. Roadmakmg is the very life of colonising waste lands.
