Thle Personnel Conference Committee is grateful for the public support it received in this effort, Reeve Roy Adair Gives Report On Match Site By W. E. Elliott GODERICH-A joint commit- tee comprised of two county councillors and the executive of the Huron County Plowmen's Association has toured the coun- ty looking over possible sites for the 1966 International Plow- ing Match, and has reported to the Ontario Plowmen's Associa- tion. Its work has not yet been completed, Reeve J. Roy Adair of Wingham, reported to Huron council Tuesday. Council rep- resentatives on the site commit- tee ommittee are Reeve Adair and Reeve Stewart Procter of Morris. As chairman of council's agriculture and reforestation committee, Reeve Adair re- ported on meetings held during the year, at one of which this site committee was arranged. "Following the selection of various locations for the match, Mr. Adair said, "it is up to the Ontario Plowmen's Association to inspect these properties fur- ther and to make the final se- lection." The committee toured the various reforestation plots in the county and looked at poss- ible sites for future plots. The tour was mainly in Colborne, Ashfield, East and West Wawa - nosh, Road Committee Outlines Program For Future County Construction By W. E. Elliott GODERICH--Because the old- er paved roads in the county did not come through the winter in good condition, and many miles are badly in need of mix patch- ing, the long-range priority pro- gram in regard to construction has had to be revised. In this connection, it is hoped to have county road 4 (Crediton to High- way 81) designated by the pro- vince as a development road, and so it has been set down to eighth place on the program. This is a 10 -mile stretch with an annual average daily traffic count of 1,200, heaviest among the projects listed. County road 6, Highway 4 to Winchelsea, five miles, is scheduled for construction this year. It has been full of pot- holes. For next year it isplan- ned to do the eight miles of county road 16, Brussels west to Highway 4. Two projects are listed for 1965: County road 13 from Clinton west, 5.5 miles, and the three miles from Nile to Dungannon, coun- ty road 27. Preliminary work has been done on the latter. Dungannon-Lucknow is set for 1966, but the Base Line be- tween Summerhill and Auburn, 6.5 miles, and three other pro- jects are subject to later review. "High mileage, low assess- ment and low mill rate just do not go together," County En- gineer James Britnell warned council. "Some projects are going to have to wait until more important roads are built and we can start upgrading the others." Mr. Britnell said there are no plans for reconstruction of Highway 21 north of Goderich, though a great length is in need of it. Reeve Glenn Webb of Ste- phen expressed concern about delay of the Crediton project. "In the event that this de- velopment road does not come soon," he said, "with a traffic count of 1,200 a day there is going to be high maintenance cost. Parts of that road are in bad shape for the traffic it has to bear. Also, the road has been surveyed, and a number of farmers have been asking whether it is possible for them to drive down the steel stakes, so they can work over them." Engineer Britnell: "An ex- propriation by-law will be sub- mitted to the September session, and the steel posts will be in the new fence. Property will be purchased this fall. We have driven in 7 -foot fence posts beside the stakes. In my opinion the Crediton road is one of the most important and has one of the highest mainten- ance costs of any road in our system. We have had damage claims from owners of cars hitting potholes." Reeve Tom Leiper of Hul- lett enquired about the condi- tion of roads to which prime and double surface treatment was given, as mentioned by Mr. Britnell in a previous re- port. "It did not live up to my expectations," said the engin- eer, "but there was no sign of failure during the winter and only a minimal amount patch- ing. The experiment will pay dividends, though some muni- cipalities are trying to do a $12, 000 surface for $3, 000 to $4, 000 a mile. It is only a modified type of surface to suit the traffic, and we can ex- pect to spend a lot on mainten- ance, and can afford to do so, Patient (angrily): "The size of your bill makes my blood boil." Doctor: "Then that will be $20 more for sterilizing your system."
