Page 4 ~â€"~Waterioo Waterloo‘s deficit of $10,000 was wiped out in 1929; This was the announcement made by Reeve Wm. Uffelman, chairman of the finance committee and is indeed a most creditable m not satisfied with wiping out this heavy deficit, the ce committee left a handsome surplus of $3,510.43 for the new year. | It is interesting to recall that a $14,000 overdraft was made when a former council estimated too high the money the county would pay the town on the North King Street., and west Erb St., pavements. This overdraft was reduced by $4,000 in 1928 and 1929 wiped out entirely. Provided prompt delivery of a snow plow can be secured, the Waterloo County Council at a recent meeting and after much discussion, decided to confer with the public high ways department with a view to placing an order for a snow plow. The report of the committee was submitted by Reeve I.C. Hallman of Waterloo township. Deputy Reeve J.B. Leslie, Preston, pointed out that one plow was not enough as some roads, including Prestonâ€"Blair highway, had not been cleared of snow. Reeve Byron Letson of Woolwich township declared he was strongly opposed to the purchase of a plow which he claimed an unjustifiable expenditure. The council, in the opinion of Second Deputy Reeve Dotâ€" zert of Waterloo, should make sure that the plow, if ordered was large and powerful enough to do the work required. Reeve Hamilton Hallman explained that a 40 horsepower rotary plow had been suggested but no action would be taken $10,000 overdraftt changed to surplus of $3,500 by These news happenings were taken directly out U\ the highways department was consulted.

He claimed that instead of the roads being imâ€" proved they were made much worse by the use of a plow to remove ‘the snow. | P He believed businessmen in Eimira and other small muniâ€" cipalities were opposed to spending money to keep roads open. Rolling the snow onto the pavement, he said, would be better than trying to remove it. He was, however, not opâ€" posed to keeping provincial highways open. . Last midweek while some of our local farmers were reâ€" constructing the detour river bridge acrass the y just west of Wallenstein, a span of valuable horses bem- ing to Mr. Thomas Adams narrowly escaped drowning when they became unexpectedly entangled in about eight feet of water near the base of the partially demolished old eastern abutment of the highway bridge which formerly spanned the river here. The horses were being used in hauling heavy blocks of cut stone from this old abutment, when in some unaccountable way, they became involved in their preâ€" carious predicament, and their drowning was only averted by the prompt and esperate efforts of some of the nearby men, who riskily held the heads of the horses above the water until the loosening of the harness made their extricaâ€" tion possible. Further mishaps marked the days proceedings when a swaying cable knocked Mr. Emanuel Sherk, into the river, while another mischance was responsible for Mr. Noah M. Martin undergoing a similar unexpected baptism. Span of horses narrowly escape drowning.
