"The section we have asked for, " Mr. Britnell said, "is ap- proximately 16 miles long, The Kippen-Seaforth mileage, considered previously, was six. It was felt if we are going to get a designation --and the de- velopment road fundmay be decreasing- -we would ask fo r the largest one that would be considered by the minister. To those who may have favored the Kippen plan, I would say that it would be constructed under bylaw within the next two or three years. We would be receiving almost five times as much money to construct the road we have asked for than to construct the road pre- viously considered." Reeve Archie Etherington of Osborne mentioned complaints about road 8 being rough. "We have heard various opinions," said Mr. Britnell. "Some say it is as good a surface as we have laid for years. It was one of our cold mix jobs, and you will remember that in August it rained about every other day, and we were lucky to get it down; however, the committee will look at it and give surface treatment if nec- essary. In some counties they do this automatically, but we have cold mix pavements that have had no surface treatment in 20 years." A bylaw has been prepared to increase the speed limit from 50 to 60 mph on county road 25 from Highway 21 to Walton, except in the police village of Auburn (30 mph), the village of Blyth (35 mph) and Walton (35 mph) and on county road 12 from the north limit of Seaforth to Highway 86 except 2500 feet at Win- throp (35 mph), Walton(35 mph) and the village of Brus- sels(30 mph). These two roads are built to a mo der n standard and the 60 -mile limit is in keeping with Department of Transport warrants. The 1964 budget will be raised as follows: county levy, $522,000; rebate of retail sales tax, $10, 000; surplus, $16, 500; provincial subsidy, $656, 500; direct aid (develop- ment road) $400, 000; total, $1, 605, 000. Main item of road construc- tion was 7.5 miles on road 16 in Morris, $230, 000 for grad- ing, gravel and land. Principal bridge job was a 195 -foot three• span bridge on road 31, north of Varna. The Committee's maintenance bill was $352, - 000, of which gravel cost $112, 000. Work on development roads 669 and 670 on County road 12, from Highway 8 in Seaforth north to Highway 86, 22 miles, is now complete. "Total cost was in excess of one million dollars, " the report stated; " the cost to Huron County was less than $40,000." Pre -engineering and design is under way on development road 759 on County road 4 from Crediton east, westerly to High- way 81, 10 miles. Tenders for grading the first five miles will likely be called early in 1965, and for the second five miles later in the year. A bylaw has been prepared to add and remove small sec- tions of old Highway 21 in re- lation to the county system. The largest piece is part of old Highway 21 from Saltford to Dunlop's tomb. The bylaw re- verts a section of old Highway 21 north of the railway tracks to the township of Colborne.

COUNTY HOME COMMITTEE Recommends engaging Architects for Addilion Goderich-Huron County's home for the aged is to have another addition, possiblypro- viding 100 beds. This is an estimate based upon the rise in population at Huronview from 105 in 1960, to 234 on Novem- ber 16 this year. Board Chairman James Hay- ter reported that applications for admission continue, and there is a steady backlog. "We hale given the matter of additional accommodation careful study," he told council, "and feel that a further build- ing program is needed. We therefore recommend that we be authorized to engage Snider, Nuget and March, architects, to prepare preliminary plans for either an addition to our pre- sent home or an entire new building to be located on the same property, with the site to be determined depending bn drainage, sewage etc. We would endeavor to have further details, cost, etc. , placed be- fore council at the January session." Mr. Hayter said manager Harvey Johnston is doing a tre- mendous job, and the staff is very efficient. Mr. Johnston arrived as the report was concluded, and gave the council the latest statistics: number of inmates 234; 91 males, 133 females; 63 admissions this year. "The figures show why we need so much bed care," he said. "Of those admitted, nine were over 90, 40 between 80 and 90, 11 between 70 and80, and only three were under 70. "As population goes up, so our costs. The milk bill is quite high, $823 for one month; bread $353, ice cream and butter $300. We use about 90 dozen eggs a week, and our monthly payroll is around $17,500, so you see there is big business at the county home with a staff of about 100 and 224 residents. We have five applications that have passed the board but not yet admitted to Huronview, and we have more enquiries every day." Reeve Frank Walkom, of Goderich said, "There are two nursing homes, one being built and one renovated, in Goder- ich. We were given to under- stand there would be a certain number who would be taken from the chronic wing of the hospital and some from Huron - view, to partially fill one of these nursing homes if accred- ited by the province. Is it true that if passed by O. H.S.C. the amount of money which or- dinarily would be paid the hos- pital would be paid the nursing homc?" B. f;. Haply, deputy clerk - treasurer replied, "The only time the Hospital Services Commission accepts patients in a nursing home is if by survey they find there are not suffic- ient chronic beds in the county or town; then they would pay the chronic rate to a nursing home. I do not believe there has been anything said to the effect that they would. If a nursing home starts up there, we have'a number of Goderich residents who could use it, at their own cost." To Reeve Tom Leiper of Hullett, Mr. Haply said there are 108 residents at Huronview paying their way, but five of them will not be paying it after the end of this year. "How many rooms are under consideration in the addition?" enquired Reeve A.D. Smith, Turnberry. "The committee felt that something like 100 would be suggested," replied Warden Jewell. (A later report in the daily press states the recommenda- tion of the committee received unanimous council approval, and Waterloo architects Snider, Huget and March were author- ized to prepare plans for pre- sentation at the January session). Win at Royal George Galbraith's Creg Lee Volo won third prize in the single roadster class on Sat- urday at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. Another winner from this area was Belimount Benefactor, the junior championship stal- lion, owned by Vaughan Toll of Blyth.
