Tailor 85 Furnisher of the Exeter Council a public meet- ing of the citizens was held is the Town Hall to hear the report of En- gineer Patterson, who recently con, - ducted a, novel' ,of the Main Street of Exeter. with a view to the con- struction. of a permanent road from the North to the South Boundary. Reeve Beavers in introducing Mr. Paterson, reviewed the proceediogs un to the decision to inveetigaate the ad- visalteity of buildme a permanent road in town to connect with the propos- ed provincial highway which is to be constructed from the south to the north boundary of Huron, Mr. +Patterson said he had investi'ge ated the present highway, which is of gravel, and found jt lacked drainage, the gravel had too large a mixture of clay, and the cost of maintenance is too high, and had, conte to the con- elusion that the road was not a sat- asfactory one, The road to be built, must be of as permanent a nature as possible, as Exeter Main Street has a high traffic, which is (Likely to increas for var- ious treasons, which are obvious. The motor trucks are recognized as hard on roads, and these are daily increase- ing in numberr as well as in weight. He gave figures as to the length and the varying width of the street that would be needed, toether with curbs and grades, etc., and gave figures of the various kinds of roads that might be built, Drainage, which is uncertain owing to not knowi.n€ the nature of the sub- sea for two lines he estimated would cost $1278; hill -cutting to reduce the ;rade at the river from. 43 to 32, he considered Would cost $309; cutting and filling $2725, A sheet asphalt pavement complete would cost $74,000; a combination of asphalt $44,000;; macadam $26,510;: the penetration macadam road $31,370; a bituminous surface improvement road $3332, with yearly maintenance cost of $1,104; concrete road with local stone $3i,033, with outside stone $36,000. Cone ete he said was head and shoulders above the: others as re- gards the annual cost, having in mind the annuity to be paid, the interest on the money, and the.' yearly repairs. Fle recomm ended the contcrete road on account of cost and ?milts. The who le cost, if concrete were, used would be about $37,000, of which the Ontario Government would pay about $12,000; leaving about $25,000 for Exeter to' pay, Many c!uestions were asked the engineer, and a number of the citi- zens also addressed those present. A motion was ,carried—not unani- tnoutly —that the Council submit a v 'nw, asking for F 5 to b -� „2 ,000 build a concrete road.
