PAGE FOUR Sess ions of United Coun ÊOUNTIES ROAD PROGRAM $58,000 FOR COMING YEAR Cost to United Counties Estimated at $22,000, Equivalent of This May Be Expended in Labor A program of county road im- provement involving an expenditurei of $58,000, o! which $22,000 wouldi be provided by the United Counties1 o! Northumberland and Durham. and the nest by the Ontario and Do- mtinion governmcents, was approved i pinciple by the Roads Commit- tee o! the Counties Council Thurs- day afternoon, with the likelibood that il would be adopted by the council as an unemployment relie! measure. The Governmnent's proposai o! co- operaling witb the County Councils o! the province last faîl in financing local road construction as a means of creating new work for unexnploy- ed men was considered by the Coun- tics Council at a special session lest year, and it was decided then not 10 take any action for bhc reason Ibat il was believed many o! the town- ships and villages would accept the provincial governincnt's plan. In ils general outline, it was designed as a winter relie! project and some o! the minor municipalities did take ad- vantage o! il. At -rhursday's meeting of the Roads and Bridge Cornitlee. o! wich Reeve K. Denyes o! Brighton township is chairman, Reeve C. H. Curtis o! Percy townsbip recalled the council's decision, followed dur- ing the January sessions by a resol- uion that no noad prograin would be planned or undertaken until the June sessions when the reeves would confer wilh George Greer, county road supeintendent, as t0 the de- tails of Ibis season's work. 'Whcn we could gel $58,000 o! road work donc ai a cosl o! $22.000 to these counties. the commission considered that we should at least be prepaneci b, go on with the work if the council backed us up," Mn. Denyes informed the commillee. "A program had 10 be planned in orden thal the Dominion Grovern- ment could be shown bow many man-days o! labor would be provid- ed. but il was undenstood that we were not compelled to carry out the aclual work on the noadas designat- ed by Mn. Greer. If wc wisbed lu make any changes as 10 roads to be ipoewe could do so, Mn. R. lMprovepu, Minister o! Highways, tld us." Council spent appnoxim-ately $20,- 000 last year !nom ils own f unds in county road work. and the contem- plated expenddture for Ibis year was at the same figure, but Mr. Denyes pointed out that for an additional $2,000 the counties could obtain about $18,000 more by co-operating with the Government in Ibis sea- son's noad improvement. Last year's prognam had cost $40.000. o! whicb the Department of Highways bad pald fifly per cent, but the plan pre- pared by Mr. Greer for this year esllmated an expenditure o! $58,000 o! which the counties would pay $22.000. The bulk o! the county road work last yean had been done in Durbam County, and for this season the mna- ion part o! the appropriation wuld be needed in Northumberland.
