These products must be higher in relation to cost 3. The day of cheap food is past for a few years at least. Last year we only received $20,000 toward our secondary road sy tem, this was preparing the Trochu East road for pave- ment th s year, te_Dders ha;re a1_roady been called for this project During 1973, we oil treated 21 miles, regravelled 333 miles, and built appro-cimately 36 miles with our grading crews. Last year was a difficilt year for roadwork, bridges, and culverts, with periods of wet weather and new operators. We lost several good operators who went farming. Be,ause of this, Council has set up an enirely new wage and working conditions agreement. We have gong; to a hour clay with everything over 8 hours as overtime Vire set up three categories of employees Junior tho3e begann,_ng and learning The better qualified operators, experienced and showing leadership and ability, are put into a Sen_tor �atego . y. the �-est a -re cla-1-sed Intermediate For ears of emp1..oy -r:,nt, they receiva 5¢ extra in each of the 2nd 3rd, and 4th ve rs From then on, pension benefits and hod days incx ca se a i. host yearly. What we are attempting to do, is to get as much fo- olzN dollar a-, is reasonable Good ,�s arato s on this high T i; ce._, eq_u pment are a must To g t more hours frr---m our main crew, it is our intention to operate two crews-.T,Lay 15th to Sept 15th when University % �` and someschool student;, are available. This will increase the ho s of use of of -serines by 200 to 300 over the season, as compared to the e!e­::7,n hour day we were working Council has increas,.d their Per Diem to $40 00 per day for 1974 There are only L: few junior employees receiving less on a per day basis. I am pleased to say that the overpass south of Linden will soon be a reality The expense to this M D is quite low as the cos is shared by Grade Crossing Fund, Transport Commission, Provinc .al Department of Highways, C P R & ourselves Seve al other heavily travelled Railway Crossings will receive warning lights 1973 saw a f.wemendI.zse development of our oil resources Ma -:y miles of pig; -:;,line have been Jaid and a new Gas Plant south- west of on our Three Hills 1E7 being built.
