Lucan street work gets boost
with supplementary grant
LUCAN- As the result of a. sup-
plementary road giant of 317,500,
reconstruction of a portion of
Duchess Avenue in Lucan will be-
gin this year. The original applica-
tion asked for a grant of 320,000.
At a May 19 meeting, reeve Tom
McLaughlin told Don Pletch of Hu-
ron Middlesex Engineering that
Duchess Avenue reconstruction
from Oak to Beech would -proceed
conditional on supplementary fund-
ing with no charge to property own-
ers until they wish -to hook-up to
the water and/or sewers.
Duchess Avenue reconstruction
from Concession 4 to Maple is de-
ferred until anther notice.
McLaughlin said a public meeting
would be held prior to any work
tatting place. No work will take
place for a year or two on the east
end of Duchess avenue. Residents
in this area do not want it made a
through street.
Deputy reeve Harry Wraith ex-
pressed concern that all money
should not be apent.on engineering
leaving none for construction.
Wraith added, "Right ,now Kent
and Market streets are carrying traf-
fic that should be going down
Duchess Avenue."
Pletch cautioned council that the
installation of .the sewer main on
Duchess from Oak to- Beech will
not be eligible for grants from the
Ministry of the environment.
Works superintendent Doug
Johnston reported at the June 2
meeting of council that the Lang-
ford Drive reconstruction project
has been completed. He added, "It
looks real good."
Councillor Bryan Smith reported
.that the Pitch -In program held on
May 9 was a huge success and
thank -you letters have been sent to
Susan Rees, Rod Johnston and Bev
Hirtzei for their participation and
assistance.
Smith told council he would be
spearheading a move to get the hor-
ticultural society program going
again. He added, "We need planters
on Main street to beautify the
downtown arra. Flowers put some
.pride.into Main_street. l.think Lean
get some interest and help on this
project."

library closures dictated
by budget constraints,
county council told
GODERICH - The closure of
seven library branches in Huron
County, mostly in the county's
northern townships, was clearly
dictated by the budget, explained
county councillor .John Doherty,
the chairman of the cultural servic-
es committee in bis report Thurs-
day.
"Clearly the .amount required (to
keep the branches open] was far in
excess of that provided by cotytcil,"
said Doherty, adding that demand
for library services is growing fast-
er than either Huron's population or
economic activity.
Doherty said the library board
was .already buying fewer books
-e€feri-than
ends meet.
"It was not a case of holding the
.line. It was clearly a case of
.cutting back, be said.
Doheny said the.deoiaion to _close
the branches, including the oases in
Crediton ,and Brumfield were tliffi-
ault.deoiaioos. btutprobsbly "shanld
have been made along lime.ago".
Doheny said the cultural services
committee did look at WUiaitics to
see if they were grossly inefficient
comped to library boards else-
where but found that was not the
case.
"Circulation per staff hours was
nearly the highest in the province,"
he said.
Branch closures were made in ac-
cerdance with where patrons could
go elsewhere. including the exami-
nation of shopping and beaking'
patterns among communities.
However, while the Beigrave and
Bluevale libtrary branches were slat-
ed to have been closed, they will
have to remain open because Turn -
berry .mid Morris Townships re-
fused to give permission for the
Closures.
Kpen-

It is also reported that the Bel -

fort to keep it open, but the board
