COUNCIL TO IJAVE:
SPEED TRAP INSTALLED
A speed trap is to be put.

Ladies : and • Gentlernen
H wing seriously Considered •. the. condition: �,< - .. ., .. on. of many of'. Qur.
streets, your Council feel that your' Opinion should'.be obtained. -as
to whether or not you desire these streets,to be put in,,good shape
with a more or less per,rrianent hard top;
• Originally ' vire explored this pia i' view of
,., .. : n the -fact a con:_.:

•� P ,n.
No: 86, :We•m t with the officials of•lhis. company and `- o, • .with 'nsecured
, their estimates of .cost for a •hot surface top,.:but, even they agreed
that the high cost pf such a 'surface. was prohibitive for our Village.
Theother •alternative is to la. :a ,
y cold hard tap,' at about one-half
the. Cost, 'similar to the county roads north and ;south,• which was
agreed should ' be 'satisfactory considering the'`amount 'of' traffic.
i�c.
The Provincial Highways Department...
, .a' , only ,
pprove onl certain
• secondary streets on which , they will pay. 50 percent subsidy of
the total estimated cost . of -$22,000,00.. This :would mean a cost
to the Village of $1.1,000:00, to be financed by a ten-year debenture,
the. Cost• of which would be equal. to 2.2 -mills annually.' Howey r,
it is believed about one-half mill annually:•will :be saved an main-.
tenance cost. of :gravel, calcium chloride, ,etc,.r
"The following; are• ;the streets -which the Dept..‘ of. Highways,:
will approy'e::for hardsurface and subsidize50'percent of the• cost::
Albert Street-�Campsbell to' Wheeler
Wheeler StreetAlbert to Stauffer/

Willoughby; ,Street -=Ross to .Havelock
Havelock: SouthHtanipbell -to Canning. •
Canning Street—Ross:':to=:Hiavelack•,
Naturally,' and rightly so,' some rate.l?ayers.will feel that'tthy
e
Y
are. being 'neglected; , as their streets' are not.included. The reason
is that the 50 percent 'subsidy cannot ,be .obtained on these -'stre
ets,.:
'but, 'if' we: construct.' the preseiit subsidy -approved. streets it is the
first step and in the near 'future, 'our • Council of that time ,Should
Yold �
`',carr on and'Com;".lete..all streets It':is• a case Of making h'..
with the. idea of finally completing:' all Village roads. Otherwise,
the:' whole fob: never will be'done, r:
Mayaof:us no!w hive, on , streets alread' aved,' for.•which. all
ratepayers,, have shared in the •,cost It ;would 'be , so nice, if all our
• citizen
suld- '
co enjoy soy a •fine, paved road infront•of their homes.•
incidentally;• the final payment'; on Havelock Street Pavement '.De-'
lbenture will be retired' ' in 1952:
'As•this is.a rri`oney' by. -law 'on which; you are asked to vote on
Tuesday, .October 9th, it is to be noted that-, Only Property Owners

We would -have liked : to 'leave this'
