each of his trucks Some of that money must come back to the town in the form of road main tenance grants so he Is being made to pay twice Every year Its for this and for that Its getting hard to do

several weeks He con ceded his trucks can go out Slderoad to Highway when bound for Toronto However when deliveries are for Brampton It makes no sense economically to go any other way but he said said
