The road superintendent stated that $7000, in a normal winter , would be spent to plow the roads for the permanent residents along the beach area. As well, two ,application, of ..,,,tcium are applied to control dust as compar., ed with one`application in the other parts of the township. As well, many areas 9f the township are without paved roads , funds for which have been given prior- ity in the beach areas. ' It was pointed out that all these improvements to the beach area were made when the assessment there was low , about 1/5 of the total, not since the new market value assessment changed the ratio. As well , any money spent on roads and snow removal in areas where roads do not comply with provincial regulations as to width, etc . must be. paid for 100% by the township with 'no provincial subsidy.
