the highway within the county will be 52000 or 20 per cent of the total cost a bill for this large amount i was presented to the ontario county council last week having been re ceived from the provincial highways department and caused tne county legislators to gasp under the act however the county has no option but to foot the bill and it will have to be provided for in the county tax
