This is a brief outline, summaries of meetings iblished regularily in the Three Hills Capital; detailed ition can be had from the finan3ial statement. The grain farrier has had a very difficult year, having trouble getting the crop harvested, and not being able to sell what he dad get. Some crop is still lying out over about /3 of the i''unicipality. Of the crops threshed, yields were good, with the exception of losses due to hail, frost and other climate factors Probably the most unusual bit of damage was the heavy frost of June 12th, setting many crops back two weeks or more Livestock prices were quite satisfactory in 1969, which helped the situation for those able to be in this position. The road program went as planned by Council While no new additional grants were available toward the secondary road s steri we regraded and gravelled 6 miles north of Wimborne, and regraded 13 miles east and west of Three Hills, regravelled 15 of this as 2 miles were built last year We also did oil treatme,nt of 10 miles on the Pope Lease road between Carbon and Drumhe ler These are high standard roads 01 local roads we oil treated 10 miles from Highway #21 through Linden; one mile of this road was left because the approa h to the C N 11, crossing and the general condition of this m le were not good enough to spend the extra money on withou first grading This will be done in the near future Two miles were graded and gravelled NE of Huxley, West of Sec 27 &34- 34 -23 -4, 2'males NW of Huxley N of Sec 34,35,36-- 33 -24 -4 and 3 miles SE of Three Hills N of Sec. 25 & 26- 31 -23 -4 and 11 of Sec 39-31-22-4 0 e large bridge was installed on the Kneehi.11 Creek east of Car on, a small bridge IPW of Three Hills W- 16- 32 -24 -4. Two culverts were put an `'1- 26- 28 -24 -4, SE of Grainger and W- 4- 30 -25 -4, NE of 4cme. Stme 92,153 cubic yards of gravel were placed on our roads, all of which was hauled by our own trucks Our oiling or light surfacing project appear to be real good value for monies spent `le have done some repair work on these projects, but very little compared to the continual maiten- ance of gravel roads, and loss of gravel The biggest factor is that it must be placed on a good, well- drained compacted grade. There will be a period of time when loading restrictions will have to be imposed, and we hope co- operation in this respect will add much to the lafe of these projects Al the time of writing we are of Highways to take over the road and in turn, the 11unicipality take provided that before takeover the Linden function andeaseker, and and Ca bon be paved. The M D of propos 1 on the 4 miles south of A negotiating with the Department from Highway #21 to Morrin Bridge over Highway #26 in its entirety, portion of #26 between Acme - the part between Highway #21 Rocky View has agreed to this cme in that Psi.

The Fire Commissioners office gives this group of Volunteer Fire Fighters a very good report The other two fire areas are doing a good job Ue are al o supported by the fire brigades of P;$ I., Three Hills, Trochu and Drumheller Each time we add another unit it makes the pr sent units more efficient, as we get standby service or assist nce in extreme cases. B cause of the general good condition of our machinery,we were a le to cut down on Capital Expenditures thereby holding the lire on Municipal taxes in 1969. I must commend the School Divisi n and other governing bodies for similar action, holding the lire on our total tax levy We are faced with continuing rising costs, dust as we are in our own lives Little hope can be expected from Senior Governments in the way of grants as they have problems too Your Council, I am sure will do their level best to get as much for the dollar as possible. They are taxpayers and have the same personal financial problems as anyone else The Personnel of the staff was little changed in 1969 Mr. Harvey Hanson resigned in June. 14r.
