He described the trip of inspection made over the road by representatives of the Board, the County Engineer and two members of Essa Council. Taking it by sections he roughly described the condition of the road between Barrie and Angus, the route being out Eli'/.aheth` St. and along the town line to the rst sideroad on the east, side of the river and thence south and west into" the village. "It had been suggested that the plan should / also include the road smith "of \ Angus to No. 25 sideroad and thus into the Camp, but the 4-.ommitt,ee did not think any further than Angus should be taken in. To put this stretch of road in tirst_class `shape would require about $12,000.. Owing to the fact that it would come under the-ne\V' plan for the development. of interurhan roads, Govt. grants (var,vin_: from 20' to 60 per cent. on (iliTt`l'eIli. sections) should be securahle up to about $6000. A substantial grant from the County might reasonably be expected with sup- plementary-grants from the town- ships interested, leaving-probably $3000 for Barrie to contribute. These gures are rough estim- ates, but the County Engineer has promised a statement in detail. Mr. McAdam suggested that if this plan can be carried out other interurbankroads leading into Barrie could be -taken up later on. Similar `action could be taken by other towns and the result would. be a magnicent road system, which would well repay the towns for the money expended. - ,0 4I_._...1-. ....-`rs lnr|t"n1`fIl" `Clark.
