nipeg.
Expenditure on roads to June
30 was $574,768, and the roads
.account as of that date showed
a surplus of $16,622. In the
general account there was a
surplus of $9,306, clerk-treasur-
er John. Berry reported. The
roads department appeared like-
ly tO stay within its budget of
$1,670,300.
"The potential surplus for
1963 would seem somewhat
higher than estimated," Mr.
Berry said, "due mainly to the
drop in cost of child welfare
and the fact that I have not
'Allowed any expenditure on the
Huron county history for the
remainder of 1963."
A bylaw has been prepared
authorizing the warden and
clerk to sign a franchise agree-
ment authorizing the Union Gas
Company to install transmission
lines along county roads, Ap-
proval was recommended by
the road committee.
This matter was 'explained to
council by J. W. MeOuat of
Chatham, who was accompan-
ied by H, Fleming, district
manager for Union Gas.
"Five years ago," Mr. McOuat
said. "we obtained a. franchise
for a subsidiary company and
laid a main line from Stratford
to Goderich. We should have
asked you for a franchise in
favor of the Union Gas Com-
pany, which has been laying
line8 to local municipalities in
Huron. We have obtained fran-
chises ftoM all the local Mun-
icipalities affected, but it ap-
pears that our operating peo-
ple have laid it coin* of lints
at Seaforth that affeet county
toads:. On discovering this,
realized we did not have a frau,.
chise for the Union, only for
the subsidiary company, so re-
quest a similar transmission
franchise in favor of the Un-
ion Company."
"Would it interfere with any
other companies in distribution.
of gas?" enquired Warden
Forbes.
"No," replied Mr. McOuat;
"these franchises are not ex-
clusive," •
