amount of work•to be. done has
been drastically cut,
"This prograrri falls con-
siderably short of the amount of
work we had hoped to do," said
Britnell. "We have been forced tit

year's budget in order to avoid
raising out requirement` of

"In fact your county roads
department. has -trot. asked for or
received an increase . in the
county share of its budget for four
years and this in the face of the
continued rise in costs of labor
and materials," said. Britnell.
"As a result of this tight budget-
ing we have not been able to
carry out some of the• projects
that some members of council
would like to see completed."
"We now have 204 miles of our
346 miles of county road paved,"
continued Britnell. "The average

"This increase plus a drastic.
increase in the price of bunker
