This work opens the road between the Villages of Walton and West Monkton, and is part of the most dir- ect route from Goderich to Kitchen- er. It is expected that a great deal of traffic will make use of this road in the future. Satisfactory results were obtained from our maintenance operations, -and costs were reduced in several re- spects. The following table shows the costs of our trucks and graders: TRUCKS Licenses $ 160 00 Storage .. 20 00 Gas 1372 68 Sun Life Assurance Co. of Canada A TOWER OF STRENGTH Aseurance is Force - $1,896,915,000 Assets - - - 5468,958,000 Dividends to Policyholders increased for the ninth successive year in addition to a special maturity dividend bonus PHONW : (Hike 115 14•sidence 541) H.

Complaints are received that the snow plow has covered mail boxes; that entrance roadways have been til -1 • led with snow, etc. While there may be cases where complaints are war- ranted, and while methods of opera- tion will. no doubt, be greatly im- pyoved, i do not think that the obje•- , tions raised are sufficiently great to • stand in the way of a work that will be of a great benefit when generally cu tied out. However. until the pub- lie demand is greater. it is not ex- pected that mu, h extension of, the work will b.• undertaken. as it is not desired to farce an improvement on the public that is not wanted. ' It would appear that the resolution passed last January, petitioning for increased subsidies, would have re- sults, but it is possible that an in ,•r•n•e 4011 be _iven It/ the tow nship only. and not to the counties. While any increase wilt Is' welcomed, a con- ' .sideration of the traffic on the county ' roads and the revenue that it pro- duces would warrant very substantial increases to the county road subsidies., From the number of cars in the county, and total number in the pro- viut•e. it can be computed that the County of Huron is entitled to 3': "of the revenue of the Department of 6653 :1' Highways under present conditiona.
