basis that it was net needed and
that the town's 10 per cent of
the Bost could he spent more
advantageously in other places.
The council, along with the
department t•llgineers, went to
the site where the culvert's lo-
cation w..s described by the de-
partment people. They showed
that they culvert would not in-
terfere drastically with the Ri-
verside Park as it would cross
under the highway and come
back into the river only a short
distance down stream from the
highway right-of-way.
According to the plans the
new bridge would be built about
seven feet higher than the old
span. Two piers would be
built in the river bed. The
highway would be 24 feet wide
and the necessary incline of
fill from the south to the new
structure would start atCharles
Street. The engineers pointed
out that property damage to
the north of the bridge would
not be severe as the crown of
the hill would only be lowered
about a foot and a half. It
even appeared that the fine
stand of maples on the Mosz-
kowski property on the west
side of the north approach could
be saved.
Back in the council cham-
bers a number of problems re-
garding land acquisition were
discussed. In the arguments
relating to the culvert, the de-
partment engineers stated:that
as far as they were concerned
the contentious structure had
to be part of the plans and
they would not consider having
the bridge built any other way.
Mayor Hetherington stated
it is expected the new bridge

will cost about ,;�,r, o+tu on
which the go%ernu;Lnt will pay
90 per cent grant. As well,
the town has to pay 50 per cent
of the land acquisition costs
which he said could run as high
as :lig, IAA). 00. In reply to a
question by Councillor Will-
iams, he said the town would
have to issue debentures to pay
its share of the cost.
Representing the Department
of highways were R. Jenkins,
project design supervisor, of
London; W. R. Kennear, re-
gional functional planning en-
gineer, London; G. Scott,
bridge location engineer, Tor-
onto and W. Westlake, con^
struction engineer, Stratford.
The department men indica-
ted that work on the structure
would not get underway until
1965. No date for completion
was given.
BY-PASS
The council also discussed
with the engineers the proposed
by-pass for Highway No. 86.
At the site, the department
leen explained how the highway
east of Wingham would be
built up across the prairies to
meet the causeway built some
time ago west of No. 4 High-
way. They stated that the job
would not start this year, but
was slated for the near future.
They also described how Dia-
gonal Road, which forms part
of the connecting link at pre-
sent, would be altered at its
junction with the new causeway
at the easterly limits of the
town.
A further meeting will be
held to determine requirements
of turning the old connecting
link back to the town when the
by-pass is completed.

LONG, HARD RUN
The sport of "langlauf,"
(long run) or cross-country rac-
ing on skis, is one of the most
grueling of all sports. The
typical course covers not only
level terrain but also wooded
territory, steep climbs and
descents and other natural ob-
stacles. Niomentum supplied
on level ground by the skier's
stride and the thrust of the ski
poles. The leading langlauf
racers, have almost invariably
been Scandinavian or of Scan-
dinavian extraction.
