Mr. Brownridge said they were named at a council session which was public. He stated at this time they have only been named and no serious testing has been completed to indicate whether they would be considered for purchase. He assured Mr. Wallace that the public would be informed and meetings held to give informations and discuss the sites. Cantelon said that public meetings have been held on the landfill meetings but that no one comes. He suggested to Mr. Wallace that if he at- tended such meetings he would get the information he was interested in. Asked by one ratepayer what the landfill site expenses were to date, Brownridge said he did not have the figures but that the committee has been working on locating sites for three years. About 45 ratepayers attended a meeting Tuesday to hear Tuckersmith township politicians tell of the work accomplished in the past three years. Reeve Robert Bell outlined coun- cil's accomplishments. He said a new supervisor had been hired for the day care centre at Vanastra with the resignation of Karen McEwing- McConnell. He reported Tuckersmith has purchased property from Mrs. Ethel Boyes on which will be built a township shed when the ministry is prepared to contribute its share of the money. The plans for the shed are completed for the construction work. Bell said three sections of sidewalk in Egmondville have been built and council has done some work on the Brucefield Cemetery where pioneers have been buried but is no longer in use -- tombstones fixed and also the fence. He said council had purchas- ed a small tractor lawnmower (Allis- Chalmers) to be used to cut grass at the cemetery and in the park at Egmondville and the parks at Vanastra. Bell spoke of the successful se- quicentennial celebrations this sum- mer and on the history book of the township published in the spring. The reeve said anONIP grant had been obtained from the government for $350,000 and this will be used en- tirely at Vanastra to update it. For a start work has begun on street lighting and a sanitary sewer on one street for this year and more will be done in 1986 and 1987. He said a grant for $150,000 had been obtained for Egmondville where there- is a need for updating as well. The reeve said work is progressing on the new bridge that is being con- structed on Sideroad 30-31 west of the • fertilizer plant. He explained it is the .township's most expensive bridge at the bottom of a steep hill which made it dangerous for school buses carry- ing a load of children and others us- ing it, especially in wintertime, as the old bridge was very narrow. The new bridge will cost $300,000. With the retirement of Allan Nicholson, Bell said a new road superintendent, Douglas Poulton, had been hired. He said council had been lucky in obtaining a supplementary road allocation from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and had decided to use the money to purchase a truck which would be beneficial in being able to provide bet- ter service in snow clearing. Deputy reeve William Brown spoke of the Seaforth Fire Area Board on which he represents Tuckersmith. He said it is running smoothly. He said a new fire chief George Garrick has been hired to replace Harry Hak who had stepped down as chief. Councillor Robert Broadfoot spoke of the Seaforth Community Centres Board on which he is the Tuckersmith representative. He told of the many drains constructed in the last few years and the cleaning out of drains. Councillor John Brownridge who represents the township on the Clin- ton Fire Area board said Clinton has a new fire chief, Fred Lobb, replac- ing Clarence Neilans.

Brownridge who represents Tuckersmith on the Seaforth Landfill Committee along with Councillor George Cantelon. He said there are ten sites they are viewing and giving active considera- tion the attempt to secure a new land- fill site for Seaforth and Tuckersmith. He spoke of the two public committee representatives sitting in on the meetings so that the public can be kept informed. He assured the au- dience that no site will be bought without public meetings for ratepayer information and input. Councillor George Cantelon said he also represents the township on the Huron Farm Safety Association and is a tile drainage inspector. He pointed out there is government grants available for any ratepayer who wants to have work done this fall. He spoke briefly on the landfill com- mittee saying it is a slow, tedious job looking for a site but that they are working slowly and carefully to secure the right area.
