the Department feels that our. •
appropriation is low for the num-
ber of miles of road that we have,.
but since they are loathe to
grant us more subsidy, the Com-
mittee recommends' that the mile-
age of County roads be decreas-
ed by reverting these roads,
which are substandard, to' the
townships. The report • further
stated that, if Greenock Council
so. desire, the Committee will're-
commend that the • 5th' Side Road
of Greenock be assumed as' - a
county highway..

ported that the contract for .the
