No children have missed school because of impassable roads as far as the board knows. A spokesman at Langdon’s Coach Lines King: City also reports conditions much as usual for the spring. Buses had to be taken off Concession 4, it was stated but children walked either to the next concession or next crossroad. Only two buses have been stuck. One was pulled out with a road grader and one with a tow truck but this is considered routine when operating bus lines in the country. Reeve Gordon Cook readily admits that con- ditions are bad on a good portion of the township‘s roads, particularly Concession 4. This is because construction was begun on this road last fall but not completed because there were not enough funds to do so, he said. Mr. Cook advises also that two weeks ago when residents asked for gravel on the roads. the material was frozen in the pit and the lane to the pit was itself impassable and had to be gravâ€" elled before it could be used. With respect to the charge that inferior material had been used on the roads, leading to the extreme conditions, Reeve Cook read a pre- pared press statement in which this was referred to as a “misunderstanding".

ReeVe Ken Maciaggart, Road Superintendent Tom Arlidge and Department of Highways engineers inspected Concession 4 at the end of last week and it was agreed to use material coming from the same source as that being used on the new con- struction of Highway 9 which material and pit has been approved by the Department of High- ways soil engineers. “The road superintendent is making every endeavor to select the driest material for this purpose and every effort is being made to com- pletely reopen Concession 4 at the earliest possible moment.” the release concluded. Mr. Cook stated mildly that the roads in the township were what you expect in the country in the spring and were no worse than in surrounding areas. He reported that King Township police had been unable to reach a location in Albion Township on Concession 6 last week because of muddy roads. He agreed however that road traffic in the township had changed radically in the past few years with a considerable increase in the number of school buses‘ heavy oil trucks. bread and milk trucks, etc. The Roads Committee has studied the problem and drawn up a road program to help things, which, however, is only a beginning. Dur- ing February the committee toured the township and picked out about 100 miles of the worst sec- tions which will be tackled first. These include Concessions 2, 4 and parts of 10 and 11. Mr. Cook noted too that the road budget for 1966 has been increased by five mills. “If the people demand road improvement, then this (the increase in the mill rate) is a must," he said. King City Happenings Mr. Bowman said the sur- rounding land was poor and would have required a great deal more work if a foundation had had to be erected on it. As it was the existing foundation, with its 12" Lick concrete walls, were found to withstand far more pressure than is normally necessary. Guests at the head table in- cluded Rev.
