COUNTY . COUNCIL
CONCLUDES 1943
SESSIONS FRIDAY
Reeves of °Seaforth, Gode-
rich and Ashfield Will
Not Seek Re-election.
LARGE SURPLUS
.Huron County .Council concluded its
1943 sessions on Friday afternoon
' last. 'Before adjournment three mem-
bers. announced that they would not
seek re-election as reeves of their
municipalities..
Reeve Robert E. Turner, of Gode-
rich, dean of the 'council, and an ex
warden, who will run for Mayor of.
Goderich, stated that he has been a,
member of the county council for 14
years and had sat under 13 different
wardens. He appreciated the associa-
tions he had enjoyed and he express-
ed the hope that the cqunty 'Would
assist further in the war effort by
buying more Victory Bonds,' M. Turn-
er has been a "member of the town
council •of Goderich for 20 years.
Later•in the day Reeve Raymond
Redmond voiced the appreciation of
the long service given to the county
by -Mr. Turner, whom all could re-
member as a good friend, and asked
that an expression of this apprecia-
tion ye prepared and presented to
him.
AlexMcDonald, popular reeve of
Ashfield for several years, .als'f an-
mouhced his retirement; and Reeve
M. A. Reid, Seaforth, after stating he
bad enjoyed his one year in the couri-
eil, said that he would not be back
next year. Very sincere regret was
expressed at, their decisions.
"Before the war this county had a
program of road improvement that
planned the reconstruction and sur-
facing of all county roads in about
15 years," the road commission's re-
port read. R continued: "It is prob-
able that war conditions will warrant
an. accelerated ,pace , of , construotion
ie so that' it may 'be that -such a pro-
gram should be completed in about
eight years, together with the recon-
struction of old bridges.
"This program would inyo3ve the -
following expenditures- �3leconstruc-
tion of bridges, $1,03'6,60; 32.0 miles
wf grading and gravelling, $2,000,000;
320 miles of surfacing, $1,400,000—a
total of $4,436,000. All this work
should be considered in a post-war
program and as much as possible car-
ried out each year, depending upon
subsidies, funds and labor available.
"Most urban municipalities are al-
lowing their rebates to accumulate to
provide a fund for some substantial
improvement. Rebates due are as
follows: Clinton,, $925.39; Seaforth,
• $862.71; Wingbam, $3,9.09.78; , Blyth,
$850.31;, Brussels; $1,939:17; Exeter,
$1,998.37; .Hensall, $1,591.30; total,
$12,077.03-"•
Total expenditures to date by the
road commission were $106,590,29.
The government subsidy will amount
to about $55,000; and a surplus 'of
$22,000 •should exist at the end of the
year.
The commission plans to keep roads
open as far as available equipment
- • will permit. The past year has- been
• difficult owing to material and labor
shortages, so that only the most nec-
essary jobs were undertaken.

port -stated, "tbe Cunningham bridge
