Tons t I.1ix.Asp1iait:
Used To Pave ViI!age Roads
900' tons of hot mix asphalt
Were ,rolled onto sections of a half
dozen streets in, the Village, Bury
ingthe past week, as another
major step in the well ad vaned
program of hard topping,, that
has given. the Village a network
of paved main roads and "back.
streets," second to none.
• Roads. getting "the treatment"
this.- time Were; Ludgard,m east,
to the McQuaig residence, 1000
feet;Gough, east, 385 feet; Rose
east,- • 375 feet; Hamilton, east,
300 feet; Victoria St.,•. (Ford Gar-.
age hill) 425 feet, for a total
. distance of 2485 feet, and a total
tonnage of 639 .tons. `.
• Before paving Victoria 'Street,
hill. cutting and widening had to
be carried • out., ', '
The hot mix asphalt Was laid
at a cost, of $6..25 per. toe by the
`Greenwood 'Construction Co. .of
Grand Valley, who :had the con-
tract for ,:the . Bruce' County -de-
'velopment road paving in : the
Walkerton -Paisley.: area, It. ,vas
the chance. of 'a lifetime: to r. get
a hot )nix at this price, •
Cost• ofpaving the above,
named village .Streets amounted
to a few dollars; short of $4,000.
This was the '.original ' program
for this year, but the, resurfacing
of' Havelock ..St ',from ' Rose to
Ludgard , (Silverwoods ' corner)
was decided on;• with the hot mix
available : at this price
An additional . 240.. 'tons. , were
used to' complete : the .resurfacing
of this section •. 'of' Havelock St.,
roughly 1360. feet Reeve : George
Joynt told The ;Sentinel • that •it
was a • jab that would .have. to
have .been da, e; next year; and
th t`•by' "'tyin'g - it in' With ,and
year's- work, a saving. ofapprox
imately $1,000 'was made .possible:
Some patching was• done also,
and in al 900 tons. of asphalt
were used amountin to 625
r g $5,
The cost of such a paving 'pro-
gram would have been ,.prohibi-
tive for the Village, bad' they not

a . Hereford steer, last • week
that tipped the scales at .1,700.
Rising '.three, it fooled its
owner'as:it .did most every-

But at the stock yards the
"men in. 'the alley,". spotted ,
it as an extraordinary beast:
and dubbed it "the big little

ed. It was one
of .14.. steers
Which • Clifford shipped last '•

Bob. Morrison; U.F.O. com-

PETITI:O ..'F
REPEAL OF .,C;T.A
J. E. iuckins, Goderich,•.ris
chairman' of a committee formed
n.H'uron County to work for the
repeal pf the Canada Teinperanc'e
Act: in the county. Nir. Huckins;
ex -mayor .el. Goderichf: was elec-
'te,d to council. ,in that town last
fall "after ;de•claring at nomination
night that "every vote you •give.
me,"I: will consider a ,vote for the
repeal of the CTA.” He • 'got '900
votes: .
Purpose.ofthe' committee is to
establish legal . control' under the.
Ontario Liquor, -Control. Act'
A ,petition is ".being ,:circulated
throughout:the countj%,, upon
which thecommittee must get at
least 25 per cent of the . signatures
of the voters .appearing vn the
voters. list • at the last :election.
The,corrinuttee expects to get the
majority' of the required signa-
tures in the urban areas of the.
'county:
Townships ' Have No Information
On Tuesday The Sentinel tried
to contact Mr. Huckins (who was
:out : of town until -Wednesday),
ta; learn if therewas any organ -
ed plan to. circulate the peti-
tion • in 'Ashfield and West Wa-,
wanosh. It IS .`assumed this will
not be done if "the required per-
•centage can ''be : obtained in the
urban centres..
Reeves Cecil. Blake of Asia-
field and John' tournin of 'West
Wawanosh had received no in-.
' formation in the matter.
There has been no liquor vote
taken in . Huron County since the
Canada Temperance•'Act was est•
ablished in 1914. Since then each
of the 36 counties in ,Ontario
have voted 'for 'the repeal. of the
CTA,' and :only Perth and Huron
Counties: have 'not • repealed it.
At the • present . time.. Perth.
County is circulating a petition
requesting a 'vote on the repeal
• of the CTA.. ""
It is' expected that the required
number. of 'signatures. in. Huron
.will be received within . two
weeks. Then. the petition 'will be
filed with the• county registrar of
deeds at ' Goderich, and will. be
subject.to public inspection by
anyone ' wishing ' to scrutinize it:
After ten days it .will be sent on
to the Secretary of State of Can-
''ada the Hon. Henri Courtema'n:-
che. ...
Then after consideration by
that. department, the 'chief elec-
tion' offieer will set a date far
the .vote, probably 'for the later
part of October.
A simple majority is all that is
required in thevote to repeal the
Act.. That means 51 percent of
those who vote.
