T-A photo Huron County council adopted a long range $9.2 million road program at its Friday session and will budget for the items in the report as money and needs determine in the next few years. No deviation from the plan will be made without council approval. Jim Britnell, county engineer, outlined the report that details 54 miles of road construction at about $4.1 million, 70.5 miles of road resurfacing at about $2.8 million and construction of four bridges at $1.2 million, Britnell told council that compared to other counties in the province the Huron road system was in about average condition. He said the road system was compared to other counties to try to determine the amount of subsidy the provincial ministry of transportation and com- munication will chip in to Huron's road work. The engineer said that ac- cording to ministry rules the county has only about $2.5 million worth of road work that is deficient now or will be in the next five years, He said some counties in western Ontaiio have about $15 million worth of bad roads.He said , the comparison to other counties was admirable in that Huron has one of the better road systems in western Ontario but added that council would have to dig deeper in .its own pocket to keep the system up.

EXETER II: Annawitunionntionnonnononntontat.: used to determine road con- ditions as part of a restraint program aimed at keeping costs down and roads in good shape. Britnell said however that in Huron the restraint program limits the amount of work that can be taken on if the county does not spend'any money above what they need to match the ministry subsidy. He explained that this year the ministry felt that only $2.5 million need be taken on and of that nine percent or $225,000, is the figure used to calculate the subsidy. If the county limited its con- struction to the $225,000 it would be doing slightly more than two miles work per year. The engineer said in his report that while some county roads are below standards acceptable to him and council no work will be done unless money permits. He said the long range forecast will be followed as possible and any deviation from the plan will be with council's approval. Britnell said the county bridges are in good shape and noted that the only bridge on a county road that is deficient is Forresters Bridge near Holmesville. He said the long bridge over the Maitland River would probably cost $500,000 to replace and until the traffic pattern on the bridge changes drastically he could not recommend its replacement.

The changes will have the greatest impact at the com- mittee level and are designed to permit trustees not sitting on a committee to be present at the committee meeting if they wish. The board functions now with two committees handling most business. The education com- mittee handles most material pertaining to classroom func- tions and problems while the management committee deals with administration and finan- cial matters. The board is split exactly in half when the com- mittees are struck and both com- mittees meet on the same night at the same time. The changes were prompted by Bicycle draw today The draw for the three bicycles offered as prizes in the recent walkathon to aid the South Huron Recreation Centre fund raising campaign will be held today, Thursday. At 4 p.m. this afternoon at the Country Flowers store on Main Street, Ilee Centre officials will award a bike to the student with the most money collected arid one vehicle to a boy and a girl as determined by a draw, The bikes were donated by the Exeter Canadian Tire Store, Jerry Maclean and Sons and Milt Robbins and Son, Juno 30, 1977 Palo 3 Resort info officer answers questions Susan flear, a 19 year old college student, is busy an- swering all kinds of Quest:toms at the Grand Bend InfOrtnation booth located just west of the Legion. "I get a lot of phone calls enquiring about accommodation in the area", remarked Susan, "and I get as many from Americans as I do from Canadians," The information centre is equipped with pamphlets and booklets full of information on recreation and accommodation facilities throughout the province as well as specialized in- formation on Southwestern Ontario. "On a busy Saturday now I get around 20 enquiries," says Susan, "but the season hasn't really started yet." A Tourist and Travel student at Fanshawe College, Susan makes sure the information booth is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. She is only allowed to work a forty hour week under her hiring agreement so Patty Holzaner, a high school student from Atwood, runs the office two days a week. Susan is paid by the Southwestern Ontario Travel Association, but hired by the Grand Bend Chamber of Com- merce. The Booth was open for enquiries over the May 24 weekend, but Susan only began working full time June 17. She will keep the booth open until after Labor Day. GB man fined for Huron Park theft A Grand Bend man was fined $300 or 30 days after pleading guilty to a theft charge in Exeter court, Tuesday, Harvey E. Lear, 31, was charged with the theft a year ago of $1,250 worth of wiring harness from Fleck Manufacturing in Huron Park. Some of the material had been sold, but all was subsequently recovered. Lear was given two months in which to pay the fine. Douglas Allan Barrett, 16, Huron Park, pleaded guilty to two charges of setting false fire alarms in Huron Park. The court learned the false alarms cost the municipality about $800. His Honour Judge Glenn Hays delayed his decision until July 19, pending a pre-sentence report. Sentence was also delayed for Lawrence Edwin Kellett, RR 3 Exeter, who pleaded guilty to a charge of wilful damage arising out an incident on March 26 when a tire iron was used to pry a padlock off gas pumps at Tuckey Beverages at Huron Park. There was about $30 worth of damage. Kellett is presently serving a jail term and his sentence on this charge was set over until October 11. Bendix employees get retirement gifts Bendix Homes and Systems manufacturers announced the retirement of three employees, Tuesday.

Bennewies worked at Bendix for 24 years with Beatrice Forrester serving the company for 12 years and Joseph Kenda for eight years. the board's representation at a seminar in the spring that dealt with administering educational matters at the board level. As a result of the meeting, eight recommendations were brought to the board and all but one accepted, The one that didn't get approval was one that would change the seating arrangments of trustees. Now the education committee sits on one side of the room and the management on the other. The changes are that the education and management com- mittees meet on different nights allowing members to attend both, that chairmen of all com- mittees give oral progress reports of their committee's ac- tivities, that the practice of hav- ing a motion to be moved and seconded before any debate take place be Strictly adhered to, that more alternatives be offered the trustees in back-up material rather than positive recommen- dations, that a more definite policy regarding attendance .of board members at, expenses for and reports from conventions be developed, that standing com- mittees give year end reports and suggest business for the coming year for new committee members and that the board deal more with first time business and refer less to committees. A committee was set up to aug- ment the changes and consist§ of trustees 'Charles Rau, Shirley Ralitt, Dorothy Wallace, Jack Alexander and Clarence McDonald. We Reserve the Right To Limit Quantities DARLING'S For Meat Orders & Custom Killing Phone 235-0420 Warehouse Furniture and Appliances Unlimited there is a six ton load limit on Ball's Bridge if no bridge in the county is deficient. Britnell pointed out that the bridge safety is calculated under ministry criteria the same as roads and is based on the traffic pattern on the road. He said the ministry did not consider that bridge deficient because of the road it was on adding that if it were on a busier road it would be replaced. He said the load limit is calculated so that any margin of error is on the safe side. He said that limit is designed to scare people into safe practice and that he knows of one bridge that has a low load limit that regularly is crossed with an 18 ton load. He said that practice is neither safe nor right but pointed out that under ideal conditions and the proper habits a bridge can hold a far greater amount than if it is crossed fast or accelerated on. Britnell said that some county roads that are now gravel need paving according to some ratepayers but explained that for the ministry to subsidize paving the road must have more than 400 cars a day travel on it. He said he and the road committee felt that figure was high adding that no county gravel road has that kind of traffic and so none are eligible for subsidy. The engineer said that if the county continues to budget in the next five or ten years as they have in the past the work on the long range forecast should be completed. He said the severe winter of 1977 forced the county to "rob" money from road con- struction to pay the high cost of snow removal and if that doesn't happen again and the county increases the budget 10 percent annually to cover inflation about 10 miles of road could be resurfaced each year. He said that if the county does not take on the improvement annually the roads will deteriorate to the point where resurfacing will not fix them and possibly the ministry will deny subsidy dollars saying they are not interested if the county is not.
