The winter control costs from January to April 1978 totalled approximately $240,000. Allowing $150,000 for the remainder of the year, which is the most that has ever been spent for the same period in previous years„still allows a reduction of $60,000 in the county's winter sprucing up the cemetery in Brucefield, cutting trees in Vanastra, painting and land- scaping around the Recreation Centre. Building permits were issued by Council of Bayfield Boat Yard of Clinton to construct a blinding to house boat manufacturing for 'S150,000; to Wilson McCartney of Seaforth for two erainaries 'for $7,500; and to Bert Lubbers of Seaforth for a lean-to barn for $7,500.

This additional revenue, 'states the report, along with a reduction of expenditures' has allowed the • committee to forecast a surplus at the year end of $95,000. The -Road tommittee recommended to county council that this surplus be placed in the Highways Reserve Fund and be used in 1980 for the recon- struction of the Auburn Works Garage as programmed ,in the 'Urban Needs Study. By holding these funds 'now - and accumu- lating surpluses to that time, the County Road Committee will be able to, carry on a highway reconstruction and resurfacing program as well as rebuild the Auburn Garage without having to borrow money in those years, the report maintains. County council has agreed to the committee's recommendation.
