This much-needed work was undertaken by the Provincial Government, the following gentlemen being appointed Commissioners to carry it out : Messrs. George Clemens and Adam Ferrie, Waterloo; Thomas Rich and James K. Andrews, Galt; Adam Ainslie and John Cornell, Beverly;* and Andrew Todd Kerby and Peter Bamberger, Flamboro' and Dundas. Several persons in Galt obtained contracts for sections of the road Messrs. John Young and William Trotter (father of Messrs. William and James Trotter), were joint contractors for three miles of the work immediately below Rockton, and the three-quarters of a mile nearest Preston; Robert Wyllie (afterwards of Ayr), James Wyllie and Norman Ramsay, had the intervening section between the latter and the tollgate, one mile east of Galt; and James Welch, now farming near Strasburg, and Robert Henshelwood, had the mile between the toll-gate and Galt. This undertaking afforded employment to a large number of men, and its completion gave the quietus forever to the terrors of Beverly swamp, and greatly advanced the prosperity of the entire district through which it passes.
