Preliminary
,road budget
for 1979
.\ •
By Jeff Seddon
County engineer Bob
Dempsey gave county
council a look Thursday
at what the 1979 road
committee faces when it
straws its budget for the
new year. Dempsey
submitted a preliminary
report for council tooin-
ting out that with in-
creased costs and new
construction projects in
the budget the county
' would have to raise 28
percent more money for
roads than last year.
The engineer told
-council that the
preliminary budget was
an estimate only and
could not be firmed up
until early in 1979. He
said he lacked three vital
pieces of information
needed for an accurate
forecast of costs in 1979
and only intended the
draft budget to outline
projects proposed for 1979
as well as what Main-
tenance costs are ex-
pected to be.
' To prepare the budget
Dempsey estimated what
the province will allocate
to Huron County for roads
next year, what the final
costs of 1978 will be and
what the county faces in
either a deficit or surplus
for 178.
Based on last year's
budget Dempsey
estimated the province's
share of the road costs to
be $1,892,000 but pointed
out that that figure could
go up or down $100,000.
Using that figure he told
council the county share
of the 1979 budget would
be $1,643,500. He
estimated the surplus
from 1978 to be $77,500
and deducted that
amount from the county
portion to arrive at the 28

the road committee could

that could be handled by -
