With' the . Village -street pav-
ing program approaching; corn-,
• pletion,Reeve G. W. Joynt for-
sees 'a .bridge building and side-
walk improvement program, re-
placing ' it. • We will movefrom
one . to the other; he said,
The. bridge :question was aired
at a meeting . of Council _ on Fri
'day night,'withthe topic !brought
to the fore • ,iby . a "Letter' To The
'Editor" in 'last week's Sentinel
captioned; "Why. Wheeler St.?
Council , had decided on the.
Wheeler St.. site at a • special
meting in .February.
At, Friday night's meeting
speaking . to The Press, • Reeve
Joynt saidf•that •since Lucknow's
inception. there hadn't .;been a•
• bridge between Campbell • • and
Gough St, and gave as 'the. rea-
son of Wheeler. Street, site, the
'fact that Lucknaw's VIain Busi-
ness Section Was. a` link op High-
way 86." As •such, Department of
Highway officials have• notified
Council, he said; .to do' something
•, to correct. traffic • Conditions., To
this end unloading of transport
trucks 'at, the 'rear ,•of business:
places .will `become necessary.
.:,So;. it becomes Important, : to
build the Wheeler St. bridge to
• provide an access road • to the
rear of ,buildings on the, north
• side of Campbell S,t..
The Reeve , , contended that if
it was just the matter of ;buildr
.
ing a bridge he 'would' favor,
Hamilton`, St, (thee foot -bridge.
crossing). But, he. added, if he
*as in,• office 'in 1942, he -'161t a
bridge would:', be built there al=
so. In feet,. he forsees 4he d'ay,.
when 'all three 'streets; •i between
Campbell and Gough will be
bridged.

St. Approach
' . Councillor.. Sandy MacLeod
suggested that :.by lowering the.
• sidewalk, removing a big elrn
tree and 'levelling and • ,grading,
behind ; .the north . side '. business
places, a truck entrance could.be
provided off Stauffeir St
. • As . far as the. bridge.con-
,
was on-:
cerned . it wouldn't cost any more
to build on Hamilton than Wheel-
er and he felt it' would :doaway
with annual . repairsto. the ' foot
bridge and a winter hazard to.
pedestrians as snow ':piles •:up, to'.
railing level 'at' the bridge ' ap'
proaches. He raised the question
•'of theservice road ,over private
property, and felt •on .,Wheeler
St., that •guard. rails would have.
