especially hazardous,
Another concern was roads.
The farmers of MeKillop wanted
better roads, One of the sugges-
tions was to put calcium chloride
on the concessions one year and.
on the sideroads the other,
Reeve Allan Campbell said that
the concession roads would have
to be maintained as now with the
calcium put on each year but
• consideration could be given to
doing the sideroads, but it would
have to be every year, not every
other.
He . was told, "Crops arc as
valuable on the sideroads as on
the concessions".
The delegates said crops aking
the road suffered. from the heavy
dust. One said the only time a
person should cut hay was after a
rain.
Deputy reeve McNichol asked
"Arc the farmers willing to pay
the cost?"
LconMaloney said, "Ye You
never hear about high taxes -- just
poor roads."
The other Federation represen-
tative confirmed this viewpoint,
and said they thought the extra
tax would be no problem.
Don Moylan said he often went
for a drive and after seeing other
roads, "McKillop has the finest
roads in Ontario. However, there
is always room for improve-
ment."
Jim Maloney asked if con-
sideration had ever been given to
buying a second grader for the
township and Reeve' Allan
Campbell replied that council was
in the process of considering one
for another year. He said one
would cost about $68,000.
