Solo by Lynda Shipley Aurora Figure Skating Club a past member of Zurich-Grand Despite heavy snowfall even in the early part of this winter the Huron County Road Department has managed to show a surplus of $134,467 on its 1976 budget. According to County Engineer Jim Britnell this surplus is ap- proximately $63,000 higher than had been predicted in October. He said it can be attributed to several unusual factors in 1976. One reason was the late approval by the Ministry of Transport and Communications of an additional $20,000 of subsidy for municipal drain assessments, a second reason was the unbudgeted• receipt of $28,000 from Armco to cover the repairs to the Saltford bin wall that the department had carried out and paid for several years ago. A third reason was what Mr. Britnell called' a "surprisingly low bid" on our hot mix paving on County Road Number 12. The surplus is to be transferred to the 1977 budget. In 1976 the County of Huron spent $1,$05,660 on fixed costs for county roads. This sum covered roadside maintenance, hard and gravel surface maintenance, winter control and safety devises as well as maintenance on bridges and culverts, overhead, the purchase and machinery and construction of a sand shed. Another $740,238 was spent on road construction and paving. The estimated budget for 1977, approved by County Council at PLAN CONTEST What Does Conservation Mean To Me?

An increase of only $60,000 over the estimated budget approved for 1976. The new budget provides $1,074,000 for fixed costs related to roads, $300,000 for overhead and $215,000 for the purchase of new machinery. $40,000 has been set aside on culvert construction, and $880,000 for road construction and paving. Under that last item a section of Road 30 from Clifford west for 2.5 miles will be built a four mile section of Road one south from Carlow will be constructed as well as paving a four mile section of Road eight between Clinton and Summerhill and a 9,3 mile portion of Road six between Highway four and Kirkton. Huron County's 20 per cent share of constructing a boundary bridge between Grey and Elma Townships will come to $85,000. Of the total $2,892,000 bill, the Ministry of Transport and Cornmunication will' contriblite' $1,570,000 through its allocations, Huron County will have to raise , $1,123,000 but has a surplus of $134,000 from last year to make up the remainder of its share of $1,257,000. The budget, Road Committee Chairman, Robert Lyons noted in his submission to council, is highly dependent on several things over which we have no control. How much snow falls and how much competition we have in our tender calls. "If the balance of the winter is as severe as the past 'three months and if the prices bid for paving and gravel exceed our estimates we will, as in the past, reduce the total cost by reducing the length of some projects or by deleting some budgeted item." In other business the road committee announced the granting of a number of tenders. Harvey Krotz Moters Limited of Listowel, the lowest of five tenders for two tandem axle dump trucks complete with box, hoist, stow plow and wing, will supply such at a cost of $83.094. Valley Blades Limited will be paid $2,407 each for two un- derbody snow plows for mounting on County sanders. The Road Department will purchase a motor grader from Dominion Road Machinery Limited for $57,200 and will buy 1500 cedar fence posts from Mervyn Rawn for $3.00 each. Centralia Farmers Supply Limited was given a contract valued at $13,725 to provide steel fence posts, wire, tie wire and staples.
