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 complimented the Kinsmen BUSIEST CANAL IN THE WORLD The Sault Ste. Marie can• al, between Lakes Superior and Michigan, floats a greater ton- nage of shipping every year than any other canal, The whole Great Lakes system forms one of the world's most heavily used water highways, Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, May 9, 1963 *- Page 11 Plans for McKenzie Bridge 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. AWARDS PRESENTED Col. Bell presented Cdt, Major Ken MacTavish with the award for best officer on parade. Award for best dressed cadet was presented by Col. Hetherington to Cadet Doug Bieman. Cadet Lt. Raymond Bronson won the award for best shot which was presented by Capt, •Goodall. Efficiency crests in the Strathcona competition were presented by Capt. H. L, M. Brown to Cdt. Lt. Col. H.

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.
