Lloyd Collins had the successful quote at $1262.60 for the west side. The east 'side was done at the same time because the cost was minimal as the equipment was already'on the scene, the reeve said.

Al- len -Hastings Ltd has the $775,000 contract for that job, which is being funded in part by the federal -provincial infrastructure program. 't he ettorts of an Environmental Youth Corps headed by Maria Morrison of Walkerton resulted in a ton of purple loosestrife being eradicated in Bruce County, Weed Inspector Lorne Robinson told county councillors at their October meeting. Robinson said the five Youth Corps, workers spent several weeks on the project, pulling out the in- vasive plant and bagging up the seed heads. They also sprayed several acres in an effort to get rid of the loosestrife, which can crowd out native plants and dry up valuable wetlands. Robinson also suggested that municipalities resume their roadside spraying programs for weed control. He cited knapweed as one noxious species that is gaining a foothold because of the suspension of spraying programs. "There are organizations who wish changes to the Ontario Weed Control Act which would permit "naturalized areas" on public and private property," Robinson said. "I. believe there are places that may be left to grow naturally, such as Highway 6 further up in the Penin- sula but I think we must be prepared to protect good farm land throughout the county wherever it is situated.".
