• Bylaws before County Council
at the January session and in
March will provide for expen-
diture of $1;275,000 on the Hur-
on: road system in 1966. The
road committee of 1965, in a
report -presented on Thursday
Chairman '
by C ha Grant a Stirling, ng, re-
commended a mill rate of 8.75
to finance the 1966 program,.
That is the same as a present..
These projects include five
milesof hot mix paving on Road
`west of Clinton, and the
grading and 'baiting of five miles
from Khiva to•....Jfighway 81.
Grading was completed last
year on the Crediton-Khiva
mileage, with only trimming
and seeding to be completed.
A contract for the section from
Khiva west will be awarded
early this year and will include
paving the unpaved part .of
the first section, as well as all
of the second section.

Children's
Aid
Reports
Huron Children's Aid Society
served last year 157 families,
involving 504 children. The
number of cases closed was 79,
involving .263 children. There
were 19,527 days' care provided
for the welfare .of children un-
der the Child Welfare Act.
These statistics were given
county council in the report of
Miss Clare McGowan, local di-
rector, who said the number of
children in care at Dec. 31st
was 64. Forty-nine adoptions.
were completed in 1965. Mem-
bers
embers of the staff made 6,832
visits, covering 72,902 miles.
Miss McGowan' devoted most
of 'this report to the new Child
Welfare Act, and 'in- particular
part three.
"A new section ::i
iii'116t hap-
py about," 'she said, "is 60(2)
whichstates that the Children's
Aid Society shall make every
effort to ensure the collection
of arrears regarding affiliation
orders. This can ruin any posi-
tive assistance we are trying to
give the parent�....We,- do not
want to be a collection agency,
and much prefer • that this re-
sponsibility remain with the
court. This is something that
troubles me very much."
When babies born in hostels
for unmarried mothers, the, law
requires adoptions to be made
by the C.A.S. in that jurisdic-
tion, which creates an awkward
situation.
"Unmarried mothers a r e
either going to, have their par-
ents or others go and get the
baby and bring it to our of-
fice, "or we may take the girl
back to this county, and then
she may give it" to us. London,
Chatham, Hamilton, Windsor
and Toronto, where these hos,.
tels are, their societies -cannot
get enough homes for their ba-
bies. I think we won't be mak-
ing _these • babies wards unless
we can make some arrangement
whereby • the babies can be
broughtback into Huron:" •
The annual meeting of the
Huron Children's Aid is to be
held at ,the Legion Hall in Clin-
ton on Feb. 9—a dinner meet-
ing at 6:30.

verts $395,699. Adding mach-
inery purchased, county rebates
and overhead, and deducting
Ontario retail sales tax rebate,
the 'grand total was $1,177,674,
eligible for subsidy. •
' There is some indication that
the mill rate may be increased
at the March session in order
to qualify for more of what was
termed "treasury money". Coun-
ty , Engineer James Britnell pro-
vided members with copies of
an elaborate formula showing
the estimated increase in de-
velopment road entitlement. "If
we raise our mill rate to 9.3,"
he explained, "we would qual-
ify for 47.2%, or 20% more.
A raise of .55 mills equals $35,-
000. On this we would get sub-
sidy of $35,000, plus additional
development road entitlement
of about $60,000 for 1965, H.D.nd
$50,000 for 1966, or total D
0. money of $155,000. This ' is
like getting 80% subsidy on
road expenditures for t h e
amount we spend, over our last
year's budget, since we could
do $190,000 worth of work with
$35,000 of county money."
"Why wouldn't we go for
this?" asked Reeve Dalton, Sea-
forth."We are looking for
more -roads in our area, .and If
this is .the. 'case we are foolish
if we -.don't go for it."
From the chairman of the
1966 road committee, Reeve
Donald McKenzie, of Ashfield,
came this comment: "We can-
not carry it along so people are
going to be satisfied with these
roads. If we continue normally
we will never catch up as • we
have in recent years with the
development roads."
There were doubters also.
Reeve Tom Leiper,. of Hullett,
referring to the return of road
mileage to the townships, said
he could not see how there was
any saving to the provincial
treasury.
"The intention may be to
bring county roads to a certain
standard," he said, , "but we
Might have two grades, A and
B, one gravel. We are still pay-
ing the same rate with fewer
miles of road." •
Engineer Britnell replied: "It
depends on where you stand.
Mr. MacNaughton, speaking for
the province, did not'say it was
the intention to' save the prov-
ince money. He . is trxing to
spend more, but spread it more

ince."
"The minister' has tried to
spend more, but spread it more
evenly," Mr. Britnell said. "The
main purpose in the study was
not to turn roads back, but to
have all county systems approxi-
mately equal throughout the
province. Maybe it was not the
case in Huron, but a township
could have far more miles than
it should and others less, and
he was attenipting to equalize
it. Since counties did not seem
anxious to correct it themselves,
he took the only measure avail-
able and asked- for a combined.
front. All we are attempting
to do is- maintain roads that
should be county roads. The
definition meant that some no
longer qualified, and they were
put back to their•_leca1 munici-
palities. The suggestion- of 'A'
and 'B' is fine, but who is go-
ing to determine one is first-
class and another stays gravel?
We do have two classes now,
but they .are governed by, traf-
fice and geographical conditions:
We are trying to remove .them
from politics or pressure- and
build roads where they are
most needed and can do the
most good: In anything for the
general good,., someone gets
hurt- and others benefit, As a
member of the advisory com-
mittee, I feel this is a big step
forward, and I think in the long
run you will see the wisdom
of it.
"This is going to be treated
Something like a bank account.
We will not actually see the
money,.but learn each year how
much is to . our,:•credit:" When
a development road is designat-
ed, the money will be available
to put on it. Development Road,
592 ,at Khiva will count as a
•d'ebit because it was in 1966.
If the mill rate continues the
same, we will not be entitled
to more than $81,000 a year,
and i,f by not spending a half
mill more we failed to get
three or four times the work
there might be criticism.
"If we raise our mill rate to
9.3. we would qualify for 20%
more; 0.55 mills on $65,000,000
equals $35,000. On this we.
would get subsidy . of $35,000,
plus additional development
road entitlement of about $60,-
000 for 1965, and $60,000 for
1966, or total D.H.O. money of
$155,000. This= is like getting
80% subsidy 'on road expendi-
ture for the amount we spend
over our last year's budget
since we could do $19,000 wo
of work with $35,000 of co
money."
- Reeve •Dalton: "Why could'nt
we go for this? We are look-
ing for.more roads in our area,
and if this is the case we are
foolish if we do not go for it."
Reeve Leiper: "It looks good
on paper, but on the taxpayers'
tax bill it doesn't."
Mr. Britnell: "A 'gift certi-
cate'—Department of Highways
money.,."
Reeve Talbot: "I can see
where it is going to be a bene-
fit, but it is going to be hard
to show some people."
Reeve Leiper: "Would it be
better to increase the gasoline
tax, and raise more money for
roads?"
Mr. Britnell: "I believe that
property tax is not the best
way, but toll roads have not
worked, and there is more gaso-
line tax paid on Highway 401
in a day than in this whole
county in four weeks." We are
getting more than our share of
gasoline tax subsidies."
Reeve Snell: 1We have to pay
it directly or indirectly, as far
as I can see."
