HURON IN PAVING
• . ' -i ■ • 1 : •• 1 ■ . i -
Work has been completed of
paving l’A miles of township
road in ’ the. Township of Ash-
iield andyaqcdrdirig tp - Reeve* El-
mer Graham ^his municipality’
. leads all townships in the County
of Huron in this respect.
? The pavement is a permanent
black top?cold mix and was laid
bn th J Fourth of- Ashfield from
Dungannon west one block, past
- the fair grounds and cemetery;
Ttyis road was widened and
improved while, the airport was.
in operation at Port Albert, and
was in comparative readiness for
... a hard top.' The, work was done
by Huron County highway men
and equipment..
But this isn’t the first hard top
program Ashfield has engaged
in. The Ashfield-Huron boundary?
from Amberley to the “top of
the hiil” at the lake was previ
ously paved /with the two town
ships sharing the cost.
This has /resulted in an ex
cellent road link with Highway
86, and eliminates the gravel
“wash board” that was inevitable
during the tourist season parties
ularly, no matter how much time
and effort was spent in trying
to keep it in shape.
—This—hard surfacing work” in
Ashfield portends, no doubt, a
future and expanding program in
rural municipalities generally/ :
