Ashfield township was
hardest hit for the four
becauseof the number of
applications . they had
received prior to the restraint
announcement, • They had 22
farmers apply for loans for
drainage totalling up; $240,000
in work. The ministry alloted"
them only $81,1)00 for. lending.

Dom Simpsonclerk Of Ash-
field, .said eo.un'cil had
decided tocut the arnount.of
money'lent:.to. each applicant
to M. percent= of. the costs
rather. than 75, percent. Mr,
Simpson: . said council
bargains that. by lending each
applicant 40 :percent of what,
was originally applied '.ler
most of the projects planned
for this year 'can be corn-
. pleted on ° the,: , oney
rim `
available.,
He added that Ashfield
council was not pleased..with
the government restraint
pointing out the bad timing of''
the ministry. He said some of
the 'projects planned for the
year had already been
started and the sudden cut-
back will probably put a lot of
hardship on the applicants.
Goderich -township
received the largest cutback
but did not have the. number
of applicants.. this 'year. that
Ashfield 'had. The township
• last year lent out $185;000 to
applicants • and- this year,
• received $89,900 from • the
'minis'try, $52,900 ofwhich has
.already been applied for.

plicant to half the costs rather
