Councillor Shirley Fyfe then asked why Councillors Lawrie and Scrimgeour felt the change wasn't a good idea. "I made the motion because I believe there is so much going on with roads and drains it needs the full council's considera­ tion," she told them.

"So you're saying that if there isn't 50 percent subsidy for road s maintenance we shouldn't do it?" asked Mrs. Grubb. "Maybe," Councillor Scrimgeour responded.
