Jarke bound ary. They also cndorsed a notice Vo be sent out Vo ail property own- crs with the ax bill outlining principle features of the Needs Study of roads in the Township of Clarke. The notice states that the purposîe of the study was Vo estimate the present and future costs of operating the road sys- emand including needed im- provements. The purpose also in.- cluded the estimate of the Town- ShWps ability within a reasonable Îax rate Vo provide for these roads and Vo dcvelop logical bas- is for the annual allocation of fuunds Vo individual projects over the next Ëen years. The study bas shown that of the 190 miles of Township roads and 130 bridges, and large cul- verts that 125 miles is, deficient or substandard. Insufficient grav, el, narrow surfaces, steep his, restricted visibility are among the contributihg factors. The estimated cost Vo bring the roads up Vo a minimum Town- ship standard is over Vwo and a hall million dollars. When Vo this amount is added the unavoidable costs sucli as maintenance, mach- inery, overhead, wages, the funds requi.red over the next ten years would be close Vo four and a haîf million dollars. The ýreport sVbated that even with Provincial subsidies the tax- ation rcquired Vo meet this need would be prohibitive. llowever, through the stuay xvc can now identify the arcia of greatest need and with intelligent programmes of work and financing, iV is your Council's belief that steady pro. grcss eau be made.
