EIGHTY-THIRD YEAR, NO. T
The following is the report of
County Engineer Pattereou, submitter];
to the Huron could.) cuuuelt tit its
reveal. meeting:
Tll•the Warden and Council. •
Gentlemen: -Luring the year 1929,
the construction program was very
much curtalh.l, but there was carried;
out, among other items, the recon-
struction of the Wroxeter bridge, and
the completion of the road through
the McNau,ht swamp, between the
townships of Grey and McKillop.
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:

proved business and li:ink condttionll,
but every new practice in road main-
tenance has met with criticism, and
we naturally And many persons op-
posed to keeping open the roads in '
winter. 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

The approximate expenditure.: of the
