Dunsmore Found in creek • Tuckersmith loses bri By Wilma Oke Tuckersmith Township "lost a bridge" in the past week it was learned at a meeting Tuesday night. Although details are sketchy as to what happened, it is believed that a truck passing over the bridge barely made it over when the driver heard a loud bang. When the driver went back to look at the bridge, he discovered a large cement section of the bridge floor had fallen into the creek — about one-third. Council refused to give the risme of the driver. Road superintendent Allan Nicholson said the bridge is located on lot 7, concession 12-13, Huron Road Survey. A ministry of transportation and communications engineer from Stratford advised barricading the road until a new bridge could be built next year to replace it. The road superintendent said an engineer from the Burns Ross & Associates Limited of Goderich had set a load limit of 4.5 tons on the bridge a couple of years ago but the ministry engineers had set a load limit of 11 tons. The Burns Ross firm will be engaged to draw up plans for the new bridge. The McGregors of Kippen will be awarded the contract for snowplowing at Vanastra at the rate of •$25 per hour with standby time from December 1 to March 15. The road superintendent was authorized to advertise for a grader for snow removal on township roads. Council approved taking $20,000 out of its special reserve fund for the water system at Vanastra to update the water system there. A com- minutor will. be bought with $10,000 and valve replacements will be made with the other $10,000. The reserve fund was provided by the developers of Vanastra for ex- pansion of the complex when more people and ir dustry moved in. However, it is evident no expansion will be needed in the foreseeable future according to, Mark Bell, London, of the ministry of the en- vironment who attended the meeting, along with Donald McLean, manager of the water system and his assistant Glenn Smith. The fund was originally oy'er $100,000 but is now down to apout $70,000 as sone -money was removed previqusly from the fund for im- provements to the system. Mr. McLean said of the 112 valves in the system, only five are in good shape, the remainder will not shut off. It was estimated that costs could run to $1,000 to replace a valve -- costs per valve, backhoe costs and the costs of replacing roads dug up as the water and sewage systems run down the middle of the roads. Councillor Frank FalcOner, who asked the question, would fixing the valves help to eliminate the severe leakage in the system, was told that there was leaking around the lead valves and it might save- d lot of money. Mark Bell estimated that the basic cost to get the key valves back in working order would be $33,000.. Councillor William Brown asked, "Perhaps the whole system should be replaced?" While Mark Bell agreed road sumintendent Nicholson said there is no way that could be done because of the roads that would have to be replaced.- Deputy reeve Robert Bell said that if the money is for capital ex- penditures he was not sure it should all be spent in repairs. Mark Bell said his idea to fix the valves was not to fix leaks but to make it possible to be able to ,hut down part of the system and not all the system. This was an in- convenience to the customers and a possible fire hazard. Mark Bell said the comminutor was important as it was a screening system needed to keep the system running more smoothly. Engineer Henry Uderstadt will be asked to investigate the cause of flooding at the Ronald McGregor home from the Cooper Drain. Council passed a by-law to license and regulate the holding of public entertainment, parades and festivals within the township. The by-law calls for the license to be obtained 60 days ahead of time at a fee to be set by the township. The applicant must deposit an amount estimated adequate by the Ontario Provincial Police for ad- ditional police protection during the entertainment. Also a bond must be deposited not to exceed $200,000 to provide against damage to public of private property. The applicant must provide the township clerk a cer- tificate in writing from Huron County Health Unit that all health and sanitation requirements for the public have been provided. Also the ap- plicant must deposit a bond with the township treasurer sufficient to repair minor damages, cleaning buildings and grounds after the en- tertainment terminated so that the grounds may be restored to previous state without cost to the municipality. A penalty of not more than $500 excluding costs may be levied if license ndt adhered to. Finally, in the case of any entertainment which would last for a lesser period than 24 hours, the council may in its discretion dispense with any or all of the requirements of this by-law. Council made grants of $1,500 to the .Seaforth Recreation Board, $1,000 to Hensall's board and $500to Clinton's: Next year council is considering leveling two mills toward recreation which would raise about $8,000 to be distributed to the recreation boards as considered fair. The township council plans to leave the recreation board for the to.wnship of Tucker - smith as it is at present.

Invite all the children who play in your yard to a •tree -planting ceremony. Name the new trees after Childlie will protect his Own tree from others. During cold spells, cover small bushes with overturned bushel baskets. Anchor it by putting an old-fashioned clothespin over each handle and pushing them into the ground. To avoid bringing garden dirt and bugs into your kitchen, make -a sieve -like container for gathering garden vegetables. Replace the bottom of a wooden box with a screen and attach a rope handle to the sides. Spray fresh vegetables with a hose and dirt will run out the bottom. .
