bout Bayfield when
it was a busy village
with a variety of tr

When the 1964 Huron
view board brought in
to county council la-
st Wednesday a propos
al for construction
of a separate buildin
g to accommodate 150
beds, it proved con-
troversial, and was
subject of a two-hour
debate. Numerous mem
bers objected to incl

g project, estimated
at a cost of a minim-
um of $1,000,000, in
a clause purporting
only to state the ne-
ed for accommodation.
In the end, council
voted 21 to 18 again

Clift of Bayfield
cleared the air in a
motion, seconded by
Reeve Nelson Cardno
of Seaforth:

parent need for addi-
