When Routly took over the road job in 1942 the total road ex- penditure for the year was $6,800. At the Thursday night presen- tation he said, the 1971 ap- propriation was $128,300, "Of course in 1942 due to the war, we didn't have any con- struction, didn't cut weeds and couldn't even buy a tire if we wanted to, This certainly kept road costs down." Although retired, Routly will continue to do the bookkeeping for the road accounts until the end of the current year. The township has 88 miles of road under its jurisdiction. During the past thirty years, he worked under 10 Reeves, 30 councillors, three Huron County Wardens from the township of Usborne and four Department of Highway engineers.

They wanted a mainly agricultural area with a stable economy, not too wealthy and not poverty striken, and within easy driving distance of Toronto. "Huron was one of three counties with these attributes but it was the closest to Guelph and so we chose Huron," admitted the two professors. The survey for the students, they reported will be of a very general nature and "not, as surveys go, a hot one."
