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.

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.
