has reached an estimated
$5,742,000. Dietrich explained
that to bring present deficient
roads and "ledges in Huron up
to top condition would cost'in
excess of five million dollars.
Due to financial restraints by
the �prov.ihce, ,'counties. are
limited each year t6 a subsidy
representing their share of one-
fifth of 45 percent of ,construc-
tion needs.
• "The one-fifth, is used
because the'.Minist'ry of Tran-
spbrtation and Com-
munications, feel that this
backlog of , work should be
scheduled over .a five year
period- and then found they
could only provide their share
to all counties of less•than half
of this amount 45 percent,'',.,
reported Dietruieh, "As you can
seer it will be impossible to
eliminate all our deficiencies: in
even 20 .years if we, continue to•fx
budget; for only nine percent of ,
our deficiencies each year (20
percent of 45 percent) because
each year as we improve some
projects, other sections of road 'u
.-..become-deficient due too normal
