Reviewing expected cutbacks iu the subsiiv mouey frem the Miistry of Transportation and Communication, the comimittee exýpeet subsidy nrnney for 1973 te be less than 1972. "If we budget for the' estimated subsidy money avallable, the 1972 overeilpenditure, as w7ell as oper- ating costs, the money te be raised by the Ceunties for road purpo0ses in 1973 will be the saine as that raised ia 1972."

ChaimanOf Committee of Opernng Statement by Mr. Love- Before we commence Our mepet- ing tisç eveniug, 1 have one brief stateinent te make in ortler te clarify certain matters puiibl is hed in -the local press i-egardi ng the tendered resignations of this committee. Nothing bas occurred that arose eut of any action on the part of this Coumittee of Adjustment. This commnittee is a semii-judiîcial bodyv; required by law te render a specific decision on particular individual facts piaced before them. For reasens stlll unknown te this Committee a storin blew up lu thie local press regarding this Committee, -arieus rumeurs and balck stairs geossip aIse came ý,te the Commiit- tee's attention. Th e Comnittee felt that the only way that this matter could be clarifieçi was te bring the whole miatter squarely before Councîl, who, of course, are the elected representatives of the people, by tendering their reslgnatletis. This was net doue for the purpose of jttracting at- tention te thle Commhittee or fore- Ing auyone te do anyth-ýiug. t was done te bring -any ouitstandl- lng issues, te a hlead and te force themn into the open, It is sur- prising how gossip and inuiendlo cen disappear when challenged. We wviSh te make it a matter of record that et ne Urne did any- orle apply te this Committee te be heard or te register any com- plaints. If they had se appiied, they wvould have been heard. To our knowliedge; tisis Committee has neyer refused an audience te a-nyone. Anyoue who wished te corne forward and informally dis- cuss a problem is heard at the end of ouir regular meetings;. Couin- cil by a uinanimous vote rejected the resignations of the Committee and àsked the Comimittee te car- ry on which the Committee are pleased te do. The Cormmittee of Adjustments is net just another Committee of Council and the action of the Committee i nen way is an nct indicatiugo subser- vience te Council. t was rather an act dlesigned te clearly indicate te the Public that the Committee were prepared te stand on their record and te put their future ln the bauds of the Council for what in effect was a vote cf con- fidence. The air having been cleared; t'he Committee will do their best te carry on, forthwith.
