There were doubters also. Reeve Tom Leiper, of iiullett, referring to the return of road mileage to the townships, said he could not see how there was any saving to theprovincial treasury. wrhe intention may be to bring couLty roads to a certain stan- dard," he said, "but we might have two grades, A and B, one gravel. We are still paying the same rate with fewer miles of road," Engineer Britnell replied: "It depends on where you stand. Mr. IVIacNaughton, speaking for the province, did not say it was the intention to save the province money. He is trying to spend more, but spread it more evenly. The main purpose in the road needs study was not to turn roads back, but to have all county sys- tems approximately equal throu- out the province.

"If we raise our mill rate to 9,3," he explained, "we would qualify for 47.2% or 20% more. A raise of ,55 mills equals $35,000. On this we would get subsidy of $35,000 plus additonal development road entitlement of about $60,000 for 1965 and $50,000 for 1966, or total D.H 2 O. money of $155,000, This is like getting 80% subsidy on road expenditures for the amount we spend over our last year's budget, since we could do $190,000 worth of work with $35,000 of county money." "Why wouldn't we go for this?" asked the Reeve of Seaforth. "We are looking for more roads in our area, and if this is the case we are foolish if we don't go for it.,, From the chairman of the 1966 road committee, Reeve Donald McKenzie of Ashfield, came this comment: "We cannot carry it along so people are going to be satisfied with these roads.

Bylaws before county council at the January session and in March will provide for expend- iture of $1,270,000 on the Huren road system in 1966, The road committee of 1965, in a report presented on Thersday by Chair- man Grant Stirling, recommen- ded a mill rate of 8.75 to finance the 1966 program, That is the same as at present, These projects include five miles of hot mix paving on Road 13 west of Clinton, and the grad- ing and paving of five miles from Klilve, to Highway 81. Grad- ing was competed last year on the Crediton Khiva mileage, with only trimming and seeding to be com- pleted. A contract for the section from Khiva west will be awarded early this year and will include paying the unpaved part of the first section as well as all of the second section. Road 27 from Carlow to Nile was paved a couple of years ago, and grading of five miles from Nile to Glenn's Hill is a 1966 project, along with land and fence operations between Glenn's Hill and Lucknow. The only other road project is grading and paving the quarter-mile airport road here. Four new bridges are sched- uled. By far the largest i s a 270-foot span over the Maitland at Marnoch on road 20, about four concession roads west of Belgrave. It will replace an old steel bridge. The county only last year built a new bridge over this same winding stream a few miles South, at Donnybrook. The other bridge projects are a 30-foot Dane bridge on road 7, and 40-foot spans on roads 20 and 27 south of Lucknow. Road construction in 1965 cost $367,621, bridges and culverts $186,705, and maintenance of roads, bridges and culverts $395,699. Adding machinery pu- chased, county rebates and over- head, and deducting Ontario retail sales tax rebate, the grand total was $1,177,674 eligible for sub- sidy. There is some indication that the mill rate may be increased at the March session in order to qualify for more of what was termed "Treasury money."
