•Uncertainty respecting the supply o

it ditlieult to foresee, :closely,. the

Construction of /adages was re-
stricted to -the building .of reinforce

to rebuild culverts in Mullett, Goalerieln
township, on the Parr line, Hay and,
Stanley, and on the Town line. of ]lila
and Stanley.. Inability, to securee small
sizes of reinforcing steel make it prob-
able that only a few of these culverts
can be built,
No new equipment has been procur-
able, ' and only ;t limited amount of
earth -moving jobs' can • be carried out.
