Hospital Directors (Continued from Page One) Wardell, Matsui and Aiken had submitted three possible plans in connection with boiler in- stallation for Friday's meeting, each of which were studied be- fore a decision was reached. DANGEROUS SHORTAGE Mr, Norman explained that the two present boilers do not provide a safe margin of steam capacity for the hospital, since they are rated at only 44 horsepower each and at times in winter peak demands about 130 horsepower are needed. The older of the two boilers, he said, has developed a ser- ious "blister", indicating that it should be replaced at once. The studies undertaken by the architects indicated that the older of the two boilers could be replaced by one 80 h. p. unit, but if that plan were carried out two more units of the same capacity would have to be in- stalled at a later date, requir- ing an extension to the boiler house, for an estimated total cost of $48,000. As an alternative it was shown that both of the present boilers could be replaced with two 125 h. p. units, using oil as fuel rather than coal, In this case no extension to the building would be needed and total cost was estimated at about $30, 000. Fuel costs,said the report, would be approxim- ately the same. The board voted to seek O. 11, S. C. permission for the re- placement at once to that the work on the boilers could be completed in advance of con- struction work on the hospital building itself. It is expected that the boiler replacements will fall under grant assistance, although the exact figures have not been secured, Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, August d, 1904 - Page 6 Engineer's Report Recommends Repairs to Lower Wingham Dam Council, on Tuesday eve- ning, heard a report from Ralph Crysler, oonsulting engineer, on ways and means of improv- ing the lower town dare as a method of making the pond in- to a better water reservoir and to assist in flood control. Mr. Crysler was represent- ing the firm of Crysler, Davis and Jorgensen, Ltd., consult- ing engineers of Toronto who had been retained by the Mait- land Valley Conservation Au- thority to study the darn and pond. Mayor Hetherington pointed out to council that the Author- ity had been asked by council to delve into the subj..ct, as grants for small rescr:oirs have been increased recently from 50 per cent to 75 per cent. The report accepted the fi- gures obtained last year by the Riverside Park Board for the de- silting of the pond, with the result that the Crysler report went on to enlarge this project and offered methods of drain- ing the pond and changes in the control of the water at the dam which would ease the pro- blems of handling the flash boards during high water. Estimated cost of the work was set at $19,300, not includ- ing the desalting program. Mayor Hetherington said that the total estimated cost in- cluding the desilting would then amount to about $33, 000 which would be backed by a 75 per cent grant, In effect, he said, this larger scheme would not cost Wingham much more than the original plans for desilting the pond, as Married 45 Years I 1.4 Mr. and Mrs. J. Herson Ir- win were married 45 years ago today, August 6, in a cere- mony at the home of the bride's parents at Donnybrook, performed by Rev, Millson of Auburn. Mrs, Irwin is the former El- la Thompson, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Thompson. Mr, lrwin's par- ents were Mr. and Mrs. Richard Irwin. After their marriage they farmed on the 10th line of East Wawanosh where they raised their family. Their son, Bill, took over the farm when his parents retired to Belgrave in 1957. They have three sons and four daughters. Dick lives at Milner, B.C. , Jim at Willow - dale and Bi1I on the home farm; Mrs. Alex (June) Nethery re- sides in Burlington, Mrs, Gib- son (Gwen) Armstrong in Lon- don, Mrs. Scott (Audrey) Reid in Wingham and Mrs. Hugh (Barbara) Laviolette, at Scar- boro. Their eldest son, Stanley, died in 1936 at the age of 16 years. Mr, and Mrs. Irwin have 18 grandchildren. Mrs. Irwin has been active for several years in 4-H leader- ship. Mr. Irwin is president of the West Wawanosh Mutual In- surance Company. dredging would only receive a 50 per cent grant under the Parks Assistance Act. RECOMMENDATIONS Main items in the report were; The clearing of large trees that appear to be a hazard to the dyke if felled in a storm; a continuing program ofmain- tenance of tree removal as they reach over -maturity, The repair of broken con- crete on the spillways which should be cut out and patched; the removal and replacement of the southwest wingwall at the dam, The spillway, t h e report said, appeared to be structurally sound. Any scour below the apron of the spillways should be fill- ed with stone and a stone blanket made up of rock -filled ga'uions should be laid im- mediately downstream from the apron. The present system of flash - boards should be replaced with a system of stoplogs to permit easier and better control of the discharge of water through the spillways. To carry out the dredging program proposed by B. M. Ross, consulting engineer, which will increase the storage capacity of the reservoir by 30 acre feet. The report indicated that the spillway capacity is greater than recorded flows to date, but is only half of the capacity required to handle what is known as the 100 -year flood. A hundred -year flood is the one per cent chance that ex- cessively heavy storms would send huge volumes of water down the stream. To handle his sort of situation the spill- ways would have to be com- pletely reconstructed and this was not suggested as practical at the present time. The efficiency of the pre- sent reservoir as a flood control reservoir would be greatly im- proved by the installation of twin eight -foot diameter cul- verts through the dyke, east at the present spillways. The culverts would make it possible to lower the water in the pond several feet beyond the level feasible by taking out all the flash boards or draining through the headrace. The report also recommend- ed that a study should he under taken to determine the best method of routing floods through the Fordwich, Gorrie, Wroxeter, Upper Winghatn and Cound OK's Department Plan dor Bridge At Monday night's council meeting approval was given by council for the Department of Highways to proceed with the plans for the McKenzie Bridge. While tentative approval had been given in mid-July, there was a rider to the motion re- questing the Department to re- view the plans which called for a 10 foot by 10 foot culvert under the south approach. Final approval resulted from a department stating that the engineering plans had been re- viewed and it had been decid- ed that the culvert in question was an essential part of the structure. Council discussed the sub- ject briefly and decided it would be pointless to argue the point further, and gave approv- al to the project. OTHER SEWERS A letter from Burns Ross, consulting engineer, was read to council which quoted a fi- gure of $800.00 to $1,000.00 to do a feasibility study for the installation of rowers north and west of the rivet. The area is not served by sewage mains at the present time. Several months ago residents of the area requested cost figures for such a scheme. Council concurred with the letter, and a [notion carried requesting Mr. Ross to carry out the survey. PAY CNR Another letter was received from the Canadian National Railways regarding a bill for repairs to the walk on the rail bridge over the river. The original bill of $1, 909 had been protested by council. The company revised the bill by deleting the cost of repairs to pulloffs for railcars. This brought the bill down to $1, 698.00, which council passed more or less under pro- test. William Cruikshank referred to council a letter which he had received regarding the im- provement of his air strip. The Letter indicated that with cer- tain improvements the strip would be licensed as a private airport. Council has an in- terest in the strip, as a com- mitment was made to Mr. Cruikshank last year to con- tribute $500,00 per year to ata maintenance once it is licens- ed. The hospital board request- ed permission to install direc- tion signs at the Main inter- section directing traffic to the hospital Council readily gave the necessary permission. Councillor Williams report- ed that the Emergency Meas- ures Organization wants to set up an auxiliary police force and has the committee's ap- proval as well as that of the police department, Council approved the move, but asked to be informed of the names of the men engaged. Councillor Wild reported that the fire chief is looking over tanks in the hope that one can he purchased and mounted on a truck to carry water to rural fires, He also said the cemetery committee felt sonic asphalt should be laid on the cemetery drive. Prices will he obtained when the town's street program is in progress. Councillor Bennett said the flower pots on Wingham's main street are much Letter than in other communities, notably one she had seen where the flowers were of the artific- ial variety, Councillor Williams said that the new development committee will hold a meeting on August 20th which will be addressed by a member of the provincial department. Council gave permission to the congregation of the Presby- terian Church to hold services in the town gall auditorium a f - ter the first e eel -Itemiser. Lower Wingham ponds before any decision is made on the re- construction of the Lower Wing - ham dam, This latter section referred to work which would be necessary to accommodate the excessive flow that would be generated in a 100 -year flood. Mr. Crysler stated that the work which he had teeorn- mended was almost in a maintenance class as the spill- ways were gradually deteriorat- ing and his program would put the structure hack in suundcon- dition, while facilitating the work of dredging the pond and improving the site for flood control. Robert Wenger, chairman of the Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority, who was present at the meeting, told council that if the town wishes to go ahead with work indicat- ed in the report, the only way to obtain the grants is to re- quest the Authority to submit the plans as a scheme to the Conservation Branch of the De - partrnent of Energy and Re sources Management, To meet the requirements of the Depart- ment the site would either have to he turned over or leased to the Authority for a nominal sum. He went on to say that in turn, the Authority could then lease hack the power rights for a nominal figure to the PUC as the PVC would not want to jeopardize its right to generate power from the pond. In fact, Mr. Wenger said, the power factor would be improv- ed as the storage capacity o',' the pond would he increased to 30 acre feet, which is a con- siderable amount of water. After hearing the report council decided to call a spe- cial meeting on Tuesday cv:. - ning of next week to cotrsid, r its ramifications and to members of the Pt'C and Parts Board to sit in and discuss the subject, Shower Held Mrs. Arthur Gibson and Mrs. Harvey Ballagh were hostesses at a shower held at the latter's home in Beltnore, last Friday evening for Miss Ruth Ante llueston. There were 40 guests, former friends and neighbors of the bride -elect, frotn Gorrie. A bride's hook was made. The guest of honor was seated in a specially decorated chair. Barbara Thornton, Laurannc Sanderson, Darlene, Beverley and Glenda Rallagh presented the gifts. Miss Hueston was as- sisted in opening the gifts by her mother, Mrs. K. lhieston and by the mother of the groom -elect, Mrs. G. Scott. Miss }Weston thanked all for rhe lovely girls and expressed her pleasure at seeing so many of her old friends.
