The rebate is paid to the urban municipalities in the counts m lieu of funds to maintain and construct coutox roads as these niunicipillities base no moots roads. The rebate eurrentlt is 45 per cent of the urban municipalities' urban apportionment. Reeve W.K 'Bogie of ColliOrric Too nship reported to council that neighbouring counties arc paving rules as loss as 2S percent as urban road rebates. Bolos commenteddthese counts roads are an equal asset to the turban centre as %sell as the rural and it is the urban centres ishich entice Iffy traffic. "The urban centres hate sonic responsi hilits to help maintain these roads.•" Book commented. Reese Calvin Kramer of Brussels remark ed that there are ten urban centres in the counts and only Brussels is not on a provincial highway.. Krauter said he had to "holler" last year to get 45 percent funding from the MinistrY of Transportation and -Communication its pave the main street and he would not %%ant to see the urban rebate from the counts reduced... ' "We like 'to help build roads for es cry lit ids (in-the 'county)." commented Kramer. "hot we Want help to build our roads," Clerk treasurer Bill Hank told council the rebate was set at 40 per cent "since the beginning oft,takme.7 In 1960 he said, it ss as increased to 47per cent and in 1969 it n as •ewed. seith-a---recommersdation-frons-1130- it reduced to -10 pci road committee that cent.

Goderich's reeve Don Wheeler told coun- cil rural people use counts roads more than urban people and doesn't ts am the urban municipalities to have . to increase their subsidies. He suggestcl the rebate should he studied over a long period of time in order to bring forward a proper argument to consider a change next Year Reeve Bogie said he had presented his information to council so -a, change could 1,t` considered for 1982.
