Curling Club Interested
In Purchase of Land Town
At the Monday night meet -
ug of council, the town fathers
.ittened to frank Hopper, of the
local curling club, outline plans
which call fora new curling
rink at some future date.
Mr. Hopper said the club is
interested in a piece of land
200 by 400 feet to the east of
the Kerr Construction Co, build-
ing at the south end of town.
He asked council to give assur-
ance that if the property was to
be sold at any time, the club
would have an opportunity of
buying.
The council discussed the
various aspects of the property,
and a motion was passed stating
that the property would not be
sold without giving the ending
club first chance, Consideration
was also given in the motion to
street construction in the area.
Chairman of the Riverside
Parks Board, Harry McArthur,
visited council and suggested
that there should be some way
to co-ordinate efforts of the
board, the PUC and the public
works department, The mayor
suggested that the time may be
coming when a town superinten-
dent would be needed for all
public works. Mr. McArthur
said that a number of people
had complained regarding the
draining of the upper pond so

early in the season. However,
he pointed out there had been
some misunderstanding in re-
gard to the level.
Councillor Nasmith said that
lowering rhe water level in the
fall cuts down on the danger of
flooding in the spring as the
amount of ice which forms dur-
ing the winter is reduced by the
lower water level.
Mr. McArthur said that fig-
ures are being obtained from an
engineer on costs regarding the
cleaning of the lower pond, and
in answer to the mayor, said
he hoped to have a meeting
with the PUC before the end of
the year on this subject.
WINTER WORKS
The council heard a letter
from the Ontario Water Re-
sources Commission giving the
details of the winter works pro-
gram in regard to the sewage
project, Council approved the
necessary details.
As a result of a letter from
the Mid -Western Development
Association Councillor Cruick-
shank was named council's dele-
gate to a meeting to take place
later in the month in Stratford.
Deputy Reeve Joe Kerr re-
ported that the streets in the
Summit Drive area are now bad
because of the digging required
to lay the sewage mains. He
said gravel will be put down
immediately to help the situa-
tion. In regard to Victoria St. ,
which has been dug up for a
block between Leopold and Wil-
liam Street, it is understood
that the contractor for the sew-
age work will have to put the
street back in good condition.
The mayor said the contract
would have to be reviewed in
this regard.
Reeve Adair said that his
public works committee has re-
ceived a number of complaints
from ratepayers regarding the
litter on the north side of Ma-
ple Street. Councillor Nasmith
said that a letter should be sent
to the property owner asking
that the area be cleaned up.
Reeve Adair also said that
the committee is looking into
either the purchase of a new
box for the town truck or hav-
ing the old one repaired. No
consideration is being given to
the purchase of a new truck at
the present time, he concluded.
Mayor Hetherington congrat-
ulated the committee for the
job of painting the arena front,
and stated it is a big improve-
ment to the building. Reeve
Adair said there had been some
criticism for using the services
of an out-of-town painter, but
he pointed out the contract had
been about half that quoted by
other firms. He went on to say
that the sidewalk will be black -
topped, in front of the arena,
but it would be foolish to spend
too much until the sewage work
on Victoria Street is completed.
Council passed a resolution
requesting the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority to assist
in a program of tree replace-
ment in the town.
Accounts read by finance
chairman Warren Callan were
approved for payment.
Councillors Crawford and
Williams reported on a meeting
of the rural fire committee to
investigate the purchase of a
tank truck. Councillor Wil-
liams said that at the meeting
the view had been expressed
that Wingham would not con-
tribute directly to the purchase
of such a true«, but would pro-
vide housing and a share of
maintenance. Ile went on to
say that perhaps the town should
actually make some considera-
tion for financial assistance if
a tanker is purchased.
Mayor Hetherington said the
work on the sewage program is
coming well. The lines are
conmpltted its the Summit Drive
area but the force pump will
not arrive until about the first
of the year. It appears, he
said, that the remainder of the
project is on schedule.
Before adjournment building
permits for three homes and a
house addition were approved
which had a total value of
$44,000.00.

Town Council heard a pe-

Monday evening which asked
Accident Victims
Treated at Hospital
Three young people are in
fair condition at the Wingham
and District Hospital as a result
of injuries received in a car
accident on Thursday evening.
Nancy Scott, 17, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Scott, R.
R. 3, Teeswater and Robert
Struthers, 22, son of Gordon
Struthers, R. R. 1, Lucknow and
Donald Hill, 38, of R. R. 1,
Lucknow were admitted to hos-
pital for various injuries.
William Lyons, age 55, of
Lucknow received treatment for
lacerations and fractures of his
hand when the fourth and fifth
fingers were crushed when they
became caught in a hay ele-
vator. Emergency treatment
was given and he was released
from hospital on Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Gilmour,
R, R. 1, Wingham, were ad-
mitted to hospital on Saturday,
as the result of a car accident
the previous evening in which
they both received injuries.
They are reported in fair con-
dition.
the town to take action regard-
ing the continuous barking of
dogs on the premises of Thomas
Saint, Edward Street.
The petition sparked quite
an argument in regard to what
could be done about the prob-
lem. However, the discussion
brought into effect a by-law
making it possible for any rate-
payer to lay complaints about
barking dogs and a motion to
limit the number of dog tags
issued to any one premises in
the town.
The by-law reads as follows:
1. No owner, possessor and
harbourer of any dog or dogs
shall permit it or them to be-
come a nuisance by reason of
excessive or unnecessary bark-
ing or making undue noise.
2. Any person who contra-
venes the provisions of this by-
law shall be guilty of an of-
fence and liable on summary
conviction to a fine not exceed-
ing $300.00 and costs and in
addition to any penalty impos-
ed under this by-law and con-
travention of it may be res-
trained by action at the instan-
ce of any ratepayer.
The motion to limit the
number of dog tags issued to
any one premises will have the
effect of discouraging kennels
in town unless such a kennel is
approved by the council's
health and welfare committee.
