Huron County Road Program Will Cost More Than Four Million Dollars Goderich — H u r on County council Monday adopted what the committee calls a "lung range construction plan" based on the results of a needs study. Included in the plan are 13 major projects made up of 51.6 miles of road and five bridges, with a total cost of more than $4,000,000. "The cost of this work is dif- ficult to estimate accurately be- cause we cannot predict the prices of materials five or six years from now," county engi- neer J. W. Britnell told coun- cill in presenting and explain- ing the road committee report. He said only the major items had been listed, but ,bhat in addition to this program, the county will be constructing one or two bridges each year and will carry out other small iso- lated road construction projects as the need arises. "It is estimated that this program will not be completed until 1973 or 1974 at our pres- ent mill rate," Mr. Britnell stated. "In this eight-year peri- od our total expenditure, in- cluding maintenance but exclus- ive of development roads, will be approximately $11,000,000, assuming the normal increase in assessment and a constant mill rate of 9.3 mills for county road purposes." The county engineer said there are many more miles of road that many members of council would like to see con- structed which are not listed for three reasons: (1) we do not feel we should plan more than seven or eight years in advance; (2) the 13 items listed were shown to •require recon- struction in the needs study; (3) more items could be added in the seven or eight year plan by increasing the mill rate, "which we do not recommend at this time". Here is the "long range plan (1966)" as set out by the road committee. It will be noted that dates of construction be- yond 1967 are not stated, de- pending as they do on various factors. Item number — (1) Glenn's Hill-Lucknow, 6,5 miles (1967); Hillsgreen to Highway 84, 2.5 miles (1967); (3) Highway 86 to Highway 87, 2.5 anilos; (4), Fordwich south, 5 miles; (5) Dashwood south, 5 miles; (6) bridge; Benmiller; (7) Egmond- ville south, 4 miles; (8) bridges, four bridges at Benmiller; (9) Varna to Bayfield, 5 miles; (10) Benmiller to Highway 8, three mules; (11) Walton to Perth boundary, 8.6 miles; (12) Clif- ford south, 4.5 miles; (13) Gor- rie south, 5 miles; total for program, 51.6 miles. County engine e r Britnell stated that present construction is costing about $50,000 per anile. General Contracting NOW WE ARE EQUIPPED.

Nearly half of this amount of $4,995,368,152, is the savings of individual depositors like yourself. All that money was put to work in many ways and in many com- munities across the country ... in industry, commerce, on the farm, in the fishing fleet. At the Bank's year-end on October 31, 1966, a record $3,279,997,060 was on loan to people in all walks of life to buy cars, finance household goods, educate children and improve businesses. $906,160,879 was invested in high-grade Government bonds and public securities which have a ready market, and $139,545,596 in other securi- ties—mainly short-term credits to industry. Miss MacFarlane will also be interested to know that Canada's First Bank has been busy in other ways. We're starting our 150th year of activity, but we're not looking back on our long record of pioneering and achievement. Instead, we're looking well ahead. And moving ahead with a fresh, new outlook and new ideas and plans for constantly expanding and improving our services to you. a�;s Frr�sr • BANK OF MONTREAL TOTAL ASSETS a6$,422,7EO,494 0 • `tvri„rE`,
