The reduction in allow able expenditure of last year force curtailment of equipment replace ment. Equipment replacement 3411Sbe considered as anintegral part •of the costs of constructing and main taining our roads and the amoun expended annually for such equip ment should be between $30,000 an $40,000 at current prices. At the present time, there are ap proximately 20 miles of base ready for paving. If a reduction in our al- lowable expenditure is not exper- ienced this year, consideration must be given to paving as many miles of these new grades as is economically possible. Also our expanded bridge program will be continued in an at- tempt to overcome the critical situa- tion that the many old bridges in the road system present. Reduced maintenance costs, ef- fected by surf a c e maintenance charges being minimized, if applied as interest on the investment in con- struction projects returned 8 to 10 per cent and better on each dollar so invested, This factor should be prominent in the desire to expand construction works in the years to come.

Despite the argument that Goder- ich is the largest town in the county and has always been the county seat, Clinton is without doubt the most central place both mileage -wise and population -wise. Certainly it would be to the ad- vantage of residents in South Hur- on if the county seat were in the "hub town" of Huron. Our business with the county institutions would be facilitated by the shorter dist- ance. If the Department of Agriculture office is moved to the new building, as we understand it will be, farmers in this area will undoubtedly notice the difference in location.—Exeter Tines -Advocate.
