for road- will be drastically cut the boards bylaw called for ex penditure totalling s1050xi in the current year the cutback forecast is more than 50000 to bring road costs to last years level this action by the ontario department of highways is aid to be part of a current policy to keep county spend ing on roads to a more reason able level conversely the de partment is not cutting back urban municipalities the ontario county koad board also learned to its sor row that an overexpenditure of 1927332 which it incurred in 1952 will not be subsidized in any degree by the province in other words the county will have to pay 100 per cent of that amount result of this financial blow will undoubtedly be a general cutback in the road program which had been mapped out for the county a major feature of this pro gram was the proposal to hard surface 170 for about 100700 such a program has long been advocated by certain members of council and especially dis trict road engineer leslie
