painful memory; the contrac-
tors have promised at least
one layer of asphalt will be
down by August 18.

Entrance costs double
The cost of opening a new
commercial entrance to
Highway 4 at 7th Avenue at
Vanastra will cost more than
twice as much as first
estimated
Tuckersmith Township
council. Tuesday was given
the engineer's calculation of
$13,000 which includes the
engineer's fees.
"This is an appreciable in-
crease". said Reeve Robert
Bell, comparing. it to the
original estimate of $5,000. He
said the road superintendent,
Allan Nicholson, had felt this
was a low estimate right from
the time it was first made of
the opening after it was re-
quested by Vanastra
residents.
Tenders are to be called for
the construction work.
Council approved purchase
of a propane air furnace to
heat the swimming pool area
in the Vanastra Recreation
centre, from Bailey's
Heating, Kippen for $5,665.
Reeve Bell presented a cer-
tificate to Nicholson from the
C.S. Anderson Road School at
Guelph for his successful
completion of a three-day
school in road work in May.
The road superintendent ex-
pressed his appreciation to
council for sending him to this
school which provides wor-
thwhile instruction.
Council passt.d a $400,000
borrowing bylaw to carry on
council business until taxes
are collected.
An application for a tile
drainage loan for 820,000 was
approved.
Councillor John
Brownridge asked council to
request that a financial state-
ment by provided on a
regular basis of the Vanastra
Water and Sewage system.

Clerk Jack McLachlanis to
apply for a grant to meet the
costs of compiling a history of
the township to :park the ses-
quicentennial birthday in
1985. Committees are being
set up to plan and carry out
the festivities to mark the
event.
A request from the city of
Mississauga for endorsement
of a resolution to conserve the
old railway stations as
heritage buildings was turned
down with only councillor
Brownridge voting for saving
the historic old buildings from
the wreckers' hammer in the
coming year.
The Ausable-Bayfield Con-
servation Authority's offer of
giving the township the
privilege of maintaining the
Clinton Conservation area in
the northwest •part of the
township was not accepted.
Council agreed with coun-
cillor Brownrid e's statement
that Tuckersmith gets very
little from the Authority now
for the amount of money
levied against the citizens of
the township and that most of
its money goes to the southern
areas of the Authority's
coverage where large staffs
are hired to run them.
Passed tor payment were
the following accounts totall-
ing $79,015.86. including: Day
Care at Vanastra, $5,552.11;
Vanastra Recreation Centre.

and general, 842380.01..
In preparation for the ses-
quicentenial birthday
celebrations of the Township
of Tuckersmith coming up in

ly days in the township-- of
people, of events or of early
life.
