ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING & REPAIRS—Industrial - Commercial - Domestic e
Council Sees
Two engineers from the De-
partment of Highways, W, R,
Kinnear, regional planning
engineer, and R. E. Jenkins,
civil engineer, met with eoun-
cil on Monday evening to out-
line plans for a new bridge to
replace the old McKenzie span,
at the north end of Josephine SL
The Ddpartment men ex-
plained to council that the pro-
posed bridge would be a con-
crete, steel reinforced 3 -span
structure, some 227 feet in
length. It would have a 30 -ft,
road allowance with two five-
foot sidewalks. The new
bridge would be about six feet
higher than the old span, with
the south approach raised ac-
cordingly and widened. The
north approach, which has
quite a grade, would also be
widened with the top of the
grade cut down and the lower
part raised.
Discussing the finances of
the bridge, council was told
that the provincial government
would contribute 90 per cent of
the cost, with the town expect-
ed to supply the remainder,
Estimated cost was set at $225,-
000.00. Murray Gaunt, M.L.A.
for Huron -Bruce, was also on
hand and said that he had met
with the Hon. Chas. MacNaugh-
ton, minister of highways, in
regard to a proposed plan
whereby the town would supply
a detour during construction,
which would likely amount to
the 10 per cent factor.
Mr. Kinnear also explained
that it would be the responsi-
bility of the town to purchase
the necessary land for the
widening of the approaches.
This, he said, was estimated at
$8, 000.00, of which the De-
partment would pay a 50 per
cent subsidy. It would entail
about 300 feet of land some 10
or 15 feet wide on each side of
the present road.
Mayor Hetherington explain-
ed to the delegation that the
town has not been actively pro-
moting the bridge, due to the
fact that heavy expenditure was
anticipated for the sewage dis-
posal scheme. He told the
engineers to send a surveyed
plan of the land required, so
that costs could be determined.
Deputy Reeve Jos. Kerr suggest-
ed that plans include cutting
the hill and moving fill at the
time the bridge is build, rather
than taking it as two separate
steps, as this would save cost.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Councillor Warren Callan
reported that the new night con-
stable, Ronald Zimmer of Har-
riston, commenced his duties
on Monday.
STREET PROBLEMS
Chairman of the public works
committee, Reeve J. Roy
Adair, said that Patrick street
was in very bad shape and re-
quired immediate repair.
After discussing street plans for
the year, council agreed to
have Patrick Street repaired
with hot mix, and instructed
the committee to proceed as
fast as possible with the work.
Reeve Adair also brought in
prices on a tractor, which a
number of the councillors have
felt was a necessary piece of
equipment. Council approved
the purchase of the tractor with
a front-end loader and power
take off, It was suggested that
the machine could be used for
street work, as well as in the
parks and cemetery when neces-
sary.
Councillor Buchanan, report-
ing for the Welfare Committee,
and as the town's representative
on the screening committee for
the Senior Citizens' apartment,
said that all seven single units
in the new building have pros-
pective tenants, and two appli-
cations for the one bedroom
units have been received. Ile

Club for promoting the project,
and said it was going to be a
wonderful thing, and is already
a great success.
MORE HOUSING?
Councillor Cruickshank,
chairman of the industrial com-
mittee, said a mimeographed
brochure of town statistics had
been prepared and recommend-
ed a printed version be acquired
as soon as possible.
The councillor also went on
to suggest that it was time the
council consider another hous-
ing project, similar to the
Central Mortgage and Housing
subdivision in Hillcrest. He
pointed out that housing was
very scarce in the community,
and that a large number of
people working here are living
outside the town. This, he
said, meant that while they
earn a living here, the pay
checks are spent elsewhere.
Council agreed that the matter
would bear further consideration
and told Clerk Wm. Renwick to
obtain further information on
the subject,
DOGS A PROBLEM
Reeve Adair said that in the
past week he had received more
complaints by telephone about
dogs running at large than he
had over the condition of the
streets,
This prompted a lengthy dis-
cussion on the problem of en-
forcing the by-law, which re-
quires all dog -owners to keep
dogs tied up from May to Octo-
ber. Mayor Hetherington read
the by-law, which states that
residents who allow dogs to run
at large can be fined up to a
maximum of $50.00, or on
conviction, jailed for a maxi-
mum of 21 days.
Most councillors seemed to
be of the opinion that the pro-
H.S. Cadets Praised for
Smartness and Efficiency
Lt. Col. E. D. Bell, ED, of
Exeter, speaking at the annual
cadet inspection of the Wing -
ham District High School Ca-
det Corps, Tuesday evening,
complimented the boys on
their smart turnout and effici-
ency on the parade square.
Col. Bell also had high praise
for the instructing staff. He
remarked that the corps had put
on a demonstration of which it
could be proud and was on a
par with many regular army
regiments.
Capt. H. L, M. Brown, West-
ern Ontario Area Cadet Officer,
also had words of praise for the
unit and its instructors.
The inspection was carried
out regardless of threatening
weather, under the watchful
eye of regimental commander
Cadet Lt. Col, H. Mundell.
First came the general salute,
then inspection of ranks, a
march past in column of route
and an •advance in review order.
Demonstrations by various
teams covered signals, first
aid, and national survival. The
bugle band was also on parade
and did an excellent job.
The inspecting officers
were: Lt. Col. E. D. Bell, ED,
Exeter; Col. R. S. Hethering-
ton, MBE, ED, Mayor of Wing -
ham; Mr. Gordon Moir, Chair-
man, W, D. H.S. Board; Capt.
H, L. M. Brown, Area Cadet
Officer; Capt. J. T. Goodall,
99th D. Bty. RCA (M), Wing -
ham; Mr. F. E. Madill,
W. D, H. S. principal and Ma-
jor R. P. Ritter CD, chief in-
structor of the corps.

Major Ken MacTavish with the
award for best officer on
parade. Award for best dressed
cadet was presented by Col.

blem had been let ride in the
past and it was time to do some-
thing about it. It was decided
to place notices in the paper
to bring the matter to the pub,-
lic's attention, and then enforce
the by-law,
CORRESPONDENCE
Several letters were read by
the clerk, One from the De-
partment of Transport confirmed
statements made by a represent-
ative
epresentative to a special meeting two
weeks ago, in regard to an air-
strip. The matter was left in
committee hands for further
study,
A request from Terry Nethery
to start a mobile canteen ser-
vice was granted. A P.U.C.
letter indicated a slight in-
crease in power costs for street
lights,
Council agreed to a proposal
from the Central Mortgage and
Housing Corporation to in-
crease payments, in lieu of
taxes, by some $36.00 annual-
ly on the homes still unsold,
This would, in effect, bring
revenue from the properties
into line with others in the
community. The increase
would, according to the letter,
be reflected in the rental rates.
BY-LAWS
Two by-laws received ap-
proval. One for the purchase
of land from the Department of
Highways, on No. 86 Highway,
to provide an access road into
the sewage lagoon. This pro-
perty was formerly owned by
Rev. Carl Krug. Another was
given third reading covering
the method of taxation for the
sewage system,
Mayor Hetherington also re-
ported that the Ontario Water
Resources Commission had indi-
cated that tenders for the sew-
age work will be called shortly.
