The Citizen, 1989-02-15, Page 3This B-Line Transport hauling 40 tons of salt from Goderich to Toronto was one of the victims of last week’s blizzards,
spending the night of February 8-9 in the ditch beside County Road 25 just east of Blyth after its driver lost his bearings
in the near-zero visibility. He and another B-Line driver spent the night as guests of Blyth Reeve Albert Wasson, while
Wingham OPP report that two other salt trucks were also local victims of the storm. Nobody was hurt in any of the
accidents.

Questionnaire going to
ratepayers this month
A questionnaire will be mailed
out to Blyth taxpayers along with
their tax bills this month to ask
people what they would like to see
their council doing.
The questionnaire, designed by
Councillor Dave Medd was approv
ed by council at its Feb. 7 meeting.
The questionnaire says that the
newly elected council seeks to get
public input into various areas of
council business. Topics such as
general appearance of village,
availability of municipal informa
tion concerning the resident, vill
age services, municipal employees,
elected municipal officials and
general comments.
The questionnaire warns that
only those forms that are signed
will be read. Those who have
immediate concerns can feel free to
deliver their forms in person to a
councillor or the municipal office. A
box will also be left in a convenient
place in town. The surveys are to
be returned by March 7.
Councillor Dave Lee said he
doubted many people would take
the time to fill in the questionnaire.
Councillor Medd said if they didn’t,
the cost wasn’t heavy and people
had at least been given their
chance to voice their opinion.
