in Egmondville for a number' of years.
• The petition referred to traffic prob..
-. lems in the village, and asked that
action be taken to control speed and to
provide better lighting on the county
road that runs through Egmondville.
Tuckersmith council recognizing- the
road through Egmondville as a county
responsibility referred the petition to
Huron County, where it is being con-
sidered by the Huron County Road
Committee.
• In its present form since well before
the war, the road is called on to carry
an increasingly heavy load of traffic—
traffic is was never designed to handle.
The narrow roadway, the rough sur-
face, and lack of lighting in what has
become •a completely built-up area, ' all
combine to increase• the hazard.
The Egmondville road, besides • pro-
Viring the only entrance to- Seaforth
from the south, forms a part of the
main traffic artery between , London
and North Central Ontario. That this
is so was recognized two years ago
when the Departinent of Highways
designated the portion of the ,route
from Seaforth north as .a provincial
development road. This year will see
completion of a construction program
carried out by Huron, but paid for by
the Province, which brings that part

however, cannot be realized until the
road south of Seaforth is brought up
to a comparable standard. •

• 'Time to Plan Mod -ern, South Road
A petition which Egmondville resi-
dents presented t� Tuckersmith Coun-
cil a short- time ago drew attention to
a dangerous condition that has .existed
-•-
•
will provide for rebuilding the Eg-
mondville road at some future time, the
need is such that approaches should be
made at once to have the road designat-
ed as a development road, so that en-
gineering can be carried out this year
and construction undertaken at the
earliest moment and completed before
the fall of 1966, when Hurn will be host
to the International Plowing Match.
The program should include rebuild-
ing of the connecting link lhat-le Sea-
forth's Main Street. Preliminary en-
gineering here would, of necessity, in-
clude design of intersections and storm
sewers, and in some Rreas, sidewalks.
While it is true portions of Main Street
are badly in need of attention, would
it not be wise to delay any major im-
provements to the street until neces-
sary engineering is completed, so that
the work could be fitted into an Eg-
mtmdville development road riroject?
In the meantime, there is no problem
in providing temporary repairs where
-needed.
As a result of representations by
Seaforth's representatives on County
Council, the County Road Committee
has indicated it proposes to visit Sen.-
.
forth in the not too distant future to
examine the condition of Main . Street.
This visit Might well prove an op-
portunity for the Councils of Seaforth
and ,Tuckersmith, the Chamber of Com-
merce and other interested groups, to
indicate to the committee how vital i
is that early and definite action be ta
en on the south road project. Ce

MARK TIME BUDGET
OTTAWA—The second bud
get, .brought down by Financ
Minister Walter Gordon for th
coming fiscal year could bird
1y. have been more differen
than his first last June. •
,That first. budget by •th
promising new Minister of thn
shiny new Liberal •Governme
blared' forth in strident tone
of economic nationalism and po
litical partisanship. It was bold
decisive and far-reaching. In
fact, it reached much too far
In the ensuing storm that it
blew up, Mr. Gordon was fore
' ed to begin a series of humiliat-
ing retreats that had yet to end
when he brought down his next
budget.
• This second statement. .of
fiscal policy was ultra conserv-
ative, ultra •cautious. In the
background could be heard re-
ferences to economic national-
ism, but they were softly mut-
ed. Not a note of. partisanship
Could be found. -It was a bud-
get framed by a committee of
the Cabinet not to promote, ac-
tion, but to keep the Govers-
menl out pf trouble. From that
point of view, it seems to have
been a successful budget.
In terms of straight fiscal pol-
icy, the only change of any con-
sequenee announced-hy=the---Fi-
nance Minister was a withdraw-
za of another one of the major
provisions in his last budget,
the withholding tax.
In an effort to promote in-
creased Canadian ownership of
domestic industry, Mr. Gordon
proposed last year to reduce
from 15 to 10 per cent the with-
holding tax on dividends paid
to shareholders living abroad by
companies which provided Can-
adians with at _least a ;5. per
cent stake in their enterprise.
But for those conipanies
which . failed to meet the catia-
dian ownership test after the
end of 1964, Mr. Gordon Pro-
posed legislation to raise the
withholding tax on dividends -
paid to non-residents from 15
to 20 per cent, a move •that
raised a howl from investors i
on both sides of the border.
On the flimsy pretext that t
retention of the existing 15 per
cent maximum withholding tax t
Canadae just as ef- c
fective under the ,reduced cor- t
Poration, tax rates approved in f
he United States, the Finance h
Minister said. that. there was no c
