Shell Service Kirkton County road deficit Continued from front page required to maintain the county's road system in the winter. If construction projects are eliminated there will be an impact on the county's labour force and experienced men will be laid off. Once that happens, said Dempsey, we'll lose ex- perienced men. To eliminate paving or resurfacing projects from the 1981 program would not have the same effect, said Dempsey, because these jobs are tendered to outside companies. Warden Fred Haberer suggested that council's approval of the road budget would not be the final decision, because it still must go to the executive committee for approval. Council accepted the budget which' is now sent to executive committee for final review. kilometres has been reduced from ;145,000 down to ;1,30,000. A review of equipment replacement found that the replacement of one truck could be held over one year realizing a saving of $25,000. The county's engineer pointed out that he is reluctant to cut resurfacing projects from the budget because the county is falling behind in its resurfacing. If the county Ire surfaces lolmilesa year, it would take 24 years to resurface all existing paved roads in the county. The anticipated life a paved road is only 15 years, said Dempsey. "I am concerned that if we maintain the present resurfacing ,policy, we will work ourselves into a box in the future where we will not be able to maintain service unless we do more than 10 miles a year." observed Dempsey. "While we are spending more dollars, we are not getting anymore miles of resurfacing for the increased costs." he added. Several councillors ob- jected to the 27 percent in- crease in the 1981 road budget pointing out that if all budgets come in with such an increase, it would be im- passible for the county to maintain the desired overall 15-17 percent increase in the county budget. Lloyd Mousseau, chair- man of the 1981 road com- mittee told council that the increase in the budget this year is directly related to the replacement of the Auburn garage which is "a one shot deal". Once the garage is paid for, said Mousseau, the road budget can be brought in line next year. County 'Engineer, Bob Dempsey, suggested there were several alternatives which could bring the budget down. If council resurfaces Road 20 and omits the paving of Road 11, the budget could be lowered to an increase of 14 percent. Dempsey pointed out however, that if Road 20 is not paved in 1981, it will have to be maintained as a gravel road at a cost of about 115,000. The cost of paving it in 1982 would also be higher because of the steady in- crease in petroeum prices. Another alternative said Dempsey is to eliminate the resurfacing of road 18 which would bring the budget increase to 10 per- cent. Dempsey asked council notto cu>]construc tionpro jec is suchas the planned con- struction of Road 17 from the Perth Boundary, west to Winthrop. He explained that the present labour force is Electric heat Continued from front page meeting and said the arrangements are still very vague as to how much might be paid, and how it might be paid. The PUC was also told the Ministry of the Environment no longer wants a chemical called orthotolodine used to check the level of chlorine residual in treated water. The chemical is said to be inaccuate, and cannot be stored without losing its strength. To show the commission where some of their money was being spent, Davis held up a small box, about 18 in- ches square, which held about 11,100 worth of new test equipment. He said water tested with a new test device, called a comparator, showed the old system had measured, as ac- curate, up to double the amount of chlorine residual required. The new test equipment, Davis said, is "far more ac- curate...and may reduce chlorine complaints from customers". It showed, of the centers surveyed, Exeter PUC serves more customers per employee than comparable area utilities. A copy has not yet been released to the press. The commission was told of a letter received from the bargaining committee of the outside workers. It said the workers saw no value in further bargaining dis- cussions, and will accept a 10 per cent increase in wages for 1981. Though it is not finalized, the commis- sion plans to send a letter of reply and make amendments to the working agreement.
