they need to match t
ministry subsidy.
He explained that this year
the ministry felt that on $2.5
million need be taken on and
of that nine percent or
$225,000 is the figure used to
calculate the subsidy. If the
county limited its con-
struction to the $225,000 it
would be doing slightly more
than two miles work per year.
The engineer said in his
report that while some 'county
roads are below standards
acceptable to him and council
no work will be done unless
money permits. He said the
long range forecast will be
followed - as closely as
possible and any deviation
from the plan will be with
council's approval.
Britnell said the county
bridges are in good shape and
noted' that the only bridge on
a county road that is deficient
is Ferre'sters Bridge near
Hdliffesville. He said the long
bridge" "oVer— 'Maitland
River- would probably cost
$500,000 to replace and until
the traffic pattern on the
bridge changes drastically he
would not recommend its
replacement.
Hallett deputy reeve Joe
Hunking asked the engineer
why there is a six ton load
limit on Ball's Bridge if no
bridge in the county is
deficient.
Britnell pointed out that the
bridge safety is calculated
nder ministry criteria the
ame as roads and is based on
the traffic pattern on the
oad. He said the ministry did
ot consider that bridge
eficient because of the road
t was on adding that if it were
n a busier road it would be
eplaced.
He said the load limit is
alculated so that any margin
f error is on the safe Side. He
aid the limit is designed to
he scare people into safe
practice and that he knows of
one bridge that has a low load
limit that regularly' is crosseg
with an 18 ton. load. He said
that practice ts neither safe
nor right but pointed out that
under ideal conditions and the
proper driving habits a
bridge can hold a far greater
amount than if it is crossed
fast or accelerated on.
Britnell said that some
county roads that are now
gravel need paving according
to some ratepayers but ex-
plained that for the ministry
to subsidize paving the road
must have more than 400 cars
a day travel on it. He said he
and the road committee felt
that figure was high adding
that no county gravel road
has that kind of traffic and so
none are eligible forlubsidy.
The engineer said that if the
county continues to budget i
the next five or ten years
they have in the past the wo k
on the long range foreca
should be completed. He sai
the severe winter of 1977
forted the county to "rob"
money from road con-
struction to pay the high cost
of snow removal and if that
doesn't happen again and the
county increases the budget
10 percent annually to cover
inflation about 10 miles of
road could be resurfaced
each year.
He said that if the county
does not take on the im-
provement annually the
roads will detetiorath to the
point where resurfacing will
not fix them and possibly the
ministry will deny subsidy
dollars saying they are ,not
interested if the county is not.

In other business council
instructed the clerk to apply
to the provincial ministry of
transportation and com-

The MTC developed a
program to increase sub-

to handle the high costs for
snow removal in the
unusually severe winter.
Evert Riddler was present
at the meeting and discussed
the township's request that he
alter the tile drain outlet on
