Nova-Sprint Summer Sale West Wawanosh buys $150,000 grader 1987 CHEVROLET SPRINT West Wawanosh Township Council has accepted a tender submitted by Champion Road Machinery Sales Limited of God­ erich to supply the township with a new Class 7 motor grader, com­ plete with the options of snow-plow blade and wing, air-conditioned cab and re-calibrated engine up­ graded to 225 hp. The total cost of the package is $150,000 but with the trade-in of the 1977 grader deducted, and sales tax added, the cost is reduced to $123,050. $65,000 of this is covered by a supplementary grant from the Ministry of Transporta­ tion and Communication, leaving the township to pick up the rest of the tab of $58,050. In other business conducted at the August 4 township council meeting, it was agreed that the sume of $10 will be charged by the landfill site supervisor to any township resident who wants to dump waste at the site at any time other than durin g the regular hours on Saturday. A motion was also passed to install a wire fence along the northern boundary of the landfill site, and to purchase a small used house trailer from Arnold Rivett for use at the landfill site. Road Superintendent George Humphrey was directed to place a “hidden driveway’’ sign at the top of the hill on the 10th Concession, just west of the Beyersbergen farm gateway. A motion was passed to support the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority’s registration of fill-line mapping in the township; and council endorsed a resolution from the town of Wingham asking that federal legislation be considered to allow more input into Canada Post by Private industry; council also endorsed a resolution from the Township of Beckwith that provin­ cial sales tax be discontinued on supplies used in fire protection and emergency response action. Council also agreed to act on the request from Beverly Ohm of Dungannon to remove a small portion of sidewalk on her property which has become overgrown with sod. Building permits were issued to S. Alton and to R. Hildebrand for the construction of granaries; to T. Hodges for a basement; to A. Miller for a house addition; and to G. and A. McLeod for the construction of a shed. Road accounts totalling $27,209.74 and general accounts totalling $21,682.21 were approv­ ed for payment. The next meeting of West Wawanosh Township Council will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 1. Blyth wants both "dings' and 'dongs' from bell A solution as to how to ring the bell in Memorial Hall at noon hour as used to be the custom, is being worked on by the Blyth village council with considerable “effort’’ being put into the project. The bell used to be rung by town employees at 12 noon each day but employees are too busy to do the job today. Reeve Albert Wasson said he had taken a workman up to see the workings on the bell high above Memorial Hall and said it was quite an effort to get up there. The problems of a mechanical device to ring the bell became instantly obvious he said because the bell was “a humungus thing’’. He estimated the bell must weigh half a ton. The bell is rung with a rope and chain strung over a large wheel attached to the side of the bell. The upper part of the wheel is in good shape because it’s protected from the weather by the bell tower roof butinthelowerpartthe wooden wheel and spokes are badly rotted and if work is going to be done then the wheel should probably be repaired. The problem with coming up with the mechanical device to ring the bell is to give the bell both a “ding’’ and a “dong” the reeve and councillor Bill Howson agreed. The bell dings when the rope is pulled down and the clapper hits one side the bell then dongs when the rope is let go and the clapper hits the other side of the bell. Councillor Howson wondered if there was some way of getting the bell to ring with the same tone using electro-magnetic clappers so the bell itself didn’t have to move. “Where’s there’s a will, there’s a way,” he said. He offered to investigate the possibility further and Councillor Bev Elliott offered to help. 2 door hatchback, automatic transmission - wheel disc - radio - mirrors - rear defroster - buckets - console - floor mats.
