A repot on county road needs
entitled '"County Roads. in Ontario"'
has been released by Ontario High-
ways Ministers, Charles S. Mac -
Naughton.'
The rept is based on cortnnpre-
hensi've•Studies carried out by each
of the 37 counties in Ontario in
CO -operation with the Department
ofiighways,, and. the program dew
eloped by the department as a
result of these studies contemplates
a joint expenditure: of "$3li3.. 2
n►ilti by the counties and the
Province ptween ' and 1969.
'The e ov -all study 'Sem out future
road needs, reelected financial
resources and desirable admin st-
rative arrangements for the county
road systems and supplements the
individual reports prepared by the.
counties in 1965 which were releas=
ed earlier this. year. Accordingly.
the counties now have objective
and comprehensive assessments of
their respective road and bridge
needs, the cots of meeting these
needs, the relative priorities
attaching to them, and the general
level of government aid available
to them.
in
summary', the report shows
that • the value of needed construct-
ion on the 10,, 025 miles of roads
and the 1,511.bridges under the iur
sdiction of the counties currently
amounts to $239,7 million, with
further needs of $71,4 million
anticipated to occur before themend.
of 1969, In addition, some $100 ,4 • •
million' will be required to main-
tain the system. Against this
dollar need of $411.5 million the
d�eeport^-4grecasts revenues from loc
fah taxes and normal subsidies of
$256,2; million`, leaving an unmet
need of $155.3 million at the end
of 1969..
So as to reduce this unmet need
to more manageable proportions
the Minister of Highways has ann-
ounced an ,incentive, program of
extra,direct aid•to those countie
whose, needs will require mili-
tates in excess of six mills. This
aid; to be made available through

is forecast at $61.9 million in the.
report, thus reducing the 'estimat-,
•ed .1969 backlog to $93.3 million'
=- only about 40 per cent of the
current: backlog; of some 3239.7.•

One novel feature of the. `incenti-
ve program is that, while it en-
