Paving contracts let
for dusty streets
The end of a long, dusty summer
for residents of King St. West and
Hamilton Street east is in sight as
Blyth council last week awarded
paving contracts for those streets.
The bid of Lavis Contracting Co.
Ltd. was accepted, subject to
approval of the village’s consulting
engineering firm, B. M. Ross and
Associates. It was the only bid
received. The cost for paving King
Street will be $10,838 and the cost
of Hamilton St., $9,428 for a total
cost of $20,266.
In another street matter, Reeve
Albert Wasson said it appeared
arrangements could be made to
service the area designated for
industrial expansion at the south
east side of the village through a
new street along the easterly limits
of the village.
The property owner would give
the land to the village in exchange
for the village’s help in straighten
ing up the tangled legal title on
another portion of the same
property. It was, however, the
Reeve said, going to take some
time before this could take place.
*****
Reeve Wasson and village works
foreman Merv Ritchie were given
permission to go on a shopping trip
for a new riding lawn mower for the
village. Several prices on various
mowers had been brought to the
meeting after the village’s old
mower gave up the ghost but no
decision was made at the meeting.
Councillor Lloyd Sippel sugges
ted council should look more
closely at what its requirements for
thenewmowerwere. Oneofthe
tractors shown could have a broom
attached which Mr. Ritchie
thought might be helpful in
cleaning streets and sidewalks.
Reeve Wasson agreed to the
shopping trip proposed in the
council motion but said that he’d
feel better, if it appeared they
needed something more expen
sive, to bring the decision back to
the other councillors for a decision.
Mr. Ritchie also informed coun
cil that the larger public works
tractor will need a considerable
amount of mechanical work done
on it this year because it hasn ’t had
much spent on it to date.

The Blyth and District Commun
ity Centre Board will ban the
admission of minors to tournament
dances, stags and does on a
six-month trial basis, Councillor
Bill Howson reported from the
Community Centre committee. He
said the board was certainly
concerned about the reputation the
Blyth facility is getting is not one to
be proud of. Ontario Provincial
Police had requested the change
because of the number of minors
getting into altercations in the
parking lots.
Councillor Howson said the
board has also discussed hiring
people to make sure the new rules
are obeyed.
Reporting from the same com
mittee, Councillor Sippel said that
ice rental charges have increased
slightly over last year.
There have also been discus
sions about trying to ascertain just
how much the village pays out in

compared to how much it takes in in
rentals. There was a need to get
accurate figures, council was told.
It was pointed out there are 150
trailers parked at the grounds for
the weekend.
Reeve Wasson said council
didn’t want to see any trouble over
it. “It’s our own fault if we don’t
know what we’re doing (in provid
ing services)”.
