"This new financing method is identical to the request made to the Ministry in a brief submitted by Huron County in March of 1972," said 13ritnell, "and should simplify county budgeting for years to come, but unfortunately not this year," Britnell said that in this initial year, the money will arrive in two allocations and only the first one has been made. It covers maintenance and fixed costs and some minor construction projects in the total amount of $1,143,000 provincial money $579,000).

"For the first time ever, the M.T.C. will be allocating funds to counties on a uniform grant basis rather than the former subsidies at 50 percent and 80 percent and supplementary assistance (development roads) at 100 percent," said Britnell. The budget -of $1,987,000 eludes $692,000 for maintenance of roads and bridges; $20,000 for construction of bridges and. culverts; $120,000 for con- struction of bridges on boundary roads; $664,000 for road con- struction, A total of $135,000 has been allocated for the Saltford Wall project.

"the only long term solution to stabilizing the embankment and saving the two-thirds of the wall that has not failed is to flatten the slope to a two and one-half foot horizontal to one foot Britnell admised council that although the county solicitors have advised there is "an ex- cellent chance of recovering 100 percent" of the total repair bill, the county must finance the repairs until the action is decided "in or out of Supreme Court", "It is most unlikely that the action will be settled in 1973," said Britnell, "but when it is the monies will be credited to the road account." "It should be pointed out that the remedial work now being carried out by county forces and rented equipment is in ac- cordance with the recom- mendations of a soils in- vestigation report prepared by one of the foremost soils con- sultants in Canada and paid for by the designer-contractor after the failure," said Braila, Regarding snow removal this past winter, Britnell said he would estimate a 25 percent decrease in the winter control budget up to the end of 1973. He said the last snowstorm in mid- March cost the county over $6,000 for snow removal. "Nature has a way of evening things up," said Britnell who claims this was "an unusual winter". 4
