THE ROADS ORDINANCES.
Sib, — I consider that the publio are indebted to you for your summary of the Road Ordinance in Friday's Times. It must have cost you some reading and study — at least so I think, judging from my own attempts to grasp the meaning of that unmercifully cumbrous Act. The prominence given in Saturday's News, however, to a description of tbe qualification of voters under the Act, along with the absence of a positive statement in your Friday's leader that this qualification does not apply to first elections, might possibly tend to confuse. I therefore begs to offer tbe information that a plurality of votes has nothing to do with first elections of Eoad Boards, single votes only being the order on these occasions. —I am, &c, Z. Aug. 19, 1872. [Of course it is evident that plurality of voting in proportion to property cannot apply to the first election, as no provision is made for a valuation until the Bead Board is established. — Ed. 8. T.] „____.
