Highway Work, Census •
-:-The-county` ~•Engineer -and Road -
Superintendent, in his ' accustomed
well drafted report, said, in respect
to work. generally:
"In 'the .first prase we tried to " sive
es 'much • labor as possible. Where
teams or men could. compete with
machinery or nearly • so they were
given the preference. We have .done
as• much grading as possible, which
Mires .more labor"than gravelling. We
also had all •the firush,, stumps, 'etc.,
removed on the full right of way. We
are now putting ' up ' posts for rail-
ings wherever e may'--over--the
whiffle hyst'ern 'The` atsa e wo k: ha
given a maximum amount of labor.
"A few thih'k that work should be
done by labor even if it can be done
at half the cost by machinery. Ir..
view of the fact that less than 59/
of the taxpayers would benefit by
the . Work, it is doubtful if this is s
wise course unless the persons do-
ing ,the work would otherwise re-
quire direct reliefs - -
"In order-- to' carry out our work
efficiently we must have the neces-
sary repairs thoroughly done' during
the whiter„ We have arranged.for thr
storing of machinery ''requiring' re.
pairs and we' hope the holdups during
the •worksrin season on account 'of re-
pairs will be reduced to a minimum.
Several of these machines we pro-
pose giving a thorough overhauling
this winter:
Reporting •upon a traffic census,
Mr. Stephenson said:
.."/ obtained a traffic census from
'the Department of Highways on some
hof our County roads,- which I believe
is valuable -enpugh-to-• 'put in•• -•this- re;
port for record. 'With this informa-
tion we will be in a better position
to plan our program as it checks up
our opinion of the •heaviest travel',
ed roads. Unfe tunately we 'have' no
census of the traffic or any of our
provincial ,highways Or on the Hep-
worth to Wharton road. The latter is.
one of the heaviest travelled roads
