Despite heavy snowfall even in
the early part of this winter the
Huron County Road Department
has managed to shOW a surplus of
$134,467 on its 1976 bildget.
According to County Engineer
Jim., Britnell this surplus is
approximately $63,000 higher
than had been predicted in
October,
He said it can be attributed to •
several unusual factors in 1976.
, One reason, was the late approval
by the Ministry of Transport.and
Communications'of an additional
$20,000 of subsidy for municipal
drain assessments, a ' second
reason was , the unbudgeted'
receipt of $28,600 from Armco •to
cover the repairs to the Sal tford
bin.:_wall_that.the department had
carried out and paid for several
years ago. A third reason • was
what Mr. .Britnell called a
"Surprisiitgly'low bid" on our hot'
