HUUBS /Maitland Conserv.% Authority Holds Meeting Her* Adoption of a •$103,50 budget mid a report expressing concern over the failure of Colborne Town- ship to provide a road allowance into a conservation area near Goderich highlighted the anneal meeting of: the Maitland Conser- ivation Autherility held in Brus- sels Public. Library on Thurs- day. Although the total budget jumped nearly 830,000, it means only a slight increase in levies for the 29 municipalities which form the authority. The main difference comes in capital development with the biggest single item a $40,000 provision for rehabilitation of the Howson Dam, in the town of Wingham. This project is part of an $80,000 expenditure started last year. Carried out under the On- tario Government's reservoir program, the project receives a 7;5 per cent grant from the conservation ()ranee of the De- partment of Energy and Re- sourses Management The municip,e'ty picks up the other 25 per cent. Provision was .also made for a. $5,000 engineering study on the Maitland River conduit in, the town of Listowel. This cost also is a straight division be- tween the government depart- ment and that town. Under •its own direct capital program the Authority budgeted $5,000 toe land acquisition to etepeind 'its :Water shed forest;' X:1,000 for development of the Falls Reserve Conservation Area: $4,000 for renovation of the Wroxeter Conservation Area and $2,000 for sundry conserva- tion areas. Administration and conserva- tion services was increased from $28,146 to 22,520. Fifty Peecent of this amount is re- covered through grants from the Conservation. Branch. The increase in levy of $2,187 will be divided among all mem- ber municipalities. Concern over the failure of Colborne Township was ellx- nressed by George McCutcheen, 'Brussels, chairman of the Con- servation Areas Advisory Board.

There are by-laws prohibiting the leaving of vehicles (or any obstacles) on or /tear the roads, especially during the winter months. When a vehicle is left on: a street or road plowing ac- tivities are slowed down. and all this costs the taxpayers money. So, with closer co-operation in this respect the job can be done at less expense and more rapidly.
