minimum for one room at Exeter United Church. The Sunday School class of Bruce Shaw decided to under-
take the needed scraping and painting themselves and some of the boys are shown in action above. From

that he expected all projects to
be completed within the budget
and that the county could have a
small surplus or deficit depen-
ding on the severity of the winter
weather in November and
December.
Engineer J. W, Britnell told
council that damage to signs and
equipment due to vandalism con-
tinued to be a major concern and
more so at this time of year with
Halloween falling on a Sunday
"which will undoubtedly lead to
three nights of damage rather
than the usual one."
The cost to the taxpayers of
the damage is the minor of our
two concerns, he said. "We
already have replaced more than
400 cedar sign posts, 90 percent
of which we estimated were
broken or stolen by vandals
rather than broken in a vehicle
accident, Our prime concern is
the fact that the motoring public
may be exposed to a serious
hazard over a weekend when a
"Stop" sign or hazard warning is
removed and we are not in-
formed."
Replacing light steel and wood
sign posts with a virtually in-
destructible steel post is not
practical since it could lead to a
fatality in a true vehicle acci-
dent, he said.
"We realize the vandalism is
caused by thoughtless
"children" of all ages (six to 60)
and the only hope of reducing the
vandalism is through public
education although to date this
has proven of little use."
Mr. Britnell predicted that the
County would have 75 to 100 signs
either stolen or damaged over
Halloween weekend.
In other busines the Council
heard that the Road Committee
is in the process of preparing the
1977 budget and program. The
projects for the 1977 program
will be those approved in the 1974
Long Range Plan that has been
approved by County Council,
The Ministry of Transport and
Communications have not as yet
advised the committee of the
amount of the subsidy funds for
1977 .and the committee can
therefore not determine the
County share of the total
budget.
Settlement
received
Huron County Council learned
at their regular meeting Friday
that the Ministry of Transpora-
tion and Communication have
agreed with a County request
that Huron be allowed to take the
$28,800 out of court settlement
from a contractor as a
"receivable" in 1976 rather than
in the years the repair work in
question was carried out.
The $2 8,8 0 0 settlement
between the County and the con-
tractor responsible for construc-
tion of a retaining wall at Salt-
ford was accepted and an-
nounced earlier this year but was
unclear whether all the payment
would go to the County or if part
would have to be paid to the
Ministry.
The Ministry approval is to
Huron's advantage as it has the
effect of increasing the 1976 sub-
sidy allocation by that amount.
County Engineer J. W. Britnell
noted that this was the first time
in history that a contractor had
been held responsible under the
terms of a contract, uninnununuinnumuniminiuniouniith

Times-Advocate, November 4, 1976
In his regular report, roads
committee chairman Joe Kerr,
told Huron County council Fri-
day that preparation were un-
derway for the coming winter.
We are putting up treated sand
and salt sandpiles at each of our
three patrol yards, he explained,
and preparing our plows and
sanders for the tough job ahead.
Huron owns six grader plows,
four truck plows, and four salt-
sander trucks along with three
front end loaders. In addition the
County rents three truck plows,
one grader plow and three salt-
sand trucks.
The roads committee report
explained that the average snow
plow route is 25 miles long. The
length of the route is dependent
on the snow and wind condition in
the area and varies from a high
of 80.5 miles in the south of the
County to 22 miles in the north.
Routes are manned by only one,
nine hour shift.
This compares to the average
route of eight to 12 miles on
King's Highways staffed for two
or more shifts per day.
"I think we all know the cost of
plowing and sanding is
something over which we have
little control'!. Mr. _Kerr stated,
"we are simply committed to do
the best we can with the limited
funds and staff we have at our
disposal. A mild winter means
we have extra money for con-
struction projects. A severe
winter means we have to eat into
our construction budget to
finance the extra plowing and
sanding."
The road report also noted that
the Country road and bridge con-
struction projects are now 99
percent complete.
The bridge and road ap-
proaches at Henfryn on the
Huron Perth boundary is now
complete. The County will be
billing Perth county for their 50
percent share of the costs.
The paving of Road 69 from
Ethel to Molesworth was com-
pleted on October 18. The com-
plete reconstruction of Road 30
from Road seven to one and one
half miles north of Lakelet is
also complete. This project in-
cluded some rather " tricky
swamp excavation according to
the County Engineer, to the
depth of 16 feet below water.
Work is now in process on com-
pleting survey.plans, purchasing
property and arranging with On-
tario Hydro and the Bell
Telephone Company to relocate
poles on the projects which are
planned for 1977. The major pro-
jects for that year, which were
approved by council in the Long
Range Construction Program in
1974, are the completion of Phase
Two of the Lakelet-Clifford Road
(two and one half miles) and
Road one from Benmiller to
Carlow (3.8 miles.)
