Variety of business items
are dealt with by council
Wingharn town council hand-
led a wide range of items at its
meeting on Monday evening.
A letter from the Bell Teler
Phone company asked perthiss-
ion to move the public tele-
phone booth from the entrance
of the town hall to a location
onthe lawn, The company
said that the booth is so hidden
from view that it does not serve
its proper function, Councillors,
however, were unanimous in
• the opinion that the telephone
booth would be unsightly on the
town ha)1 lawn and thought a
sign ufindicatle the present lo-
cation of the booth would be
adequate.
The Department of Highways,.
in a letter to council, asked
.that the town take over respon-
sibility for No. 4 Highway out
to the intersection with High-
way 86. This request arose
from an interchange with the
department suggesting the town
assume 500 feet of this stretch
to facilitate the erection of a
.new sign. No action was taken
on the latest proposal,

wrote .council with the request
that a public Meeting be called
prior to the January 15th vote on
cocktail lounges and dining
lounges in town, The Associa-
tion offered to co-operate with
the town in presentingb the ques-
tion to the public.
Council decided that the
Ministerial is quite free to call
such a meeting and that the
town should not take any action
in this re ard.
Matthws Construction pre-
sented a bill for $273.83,
claiming that this amount had
been expended in preparing a
tender for submission on the
proposed sewer project in Wing -
ham. Their tender was the
lowest of four submitted, but
the contracr`was awarded to the
local firm of Mowbray_Con -
struction whose tender was only
a -few dollars higher.
The letter from the Matthews
firm was filed.
Norman Pearson, consultant,
wrote council in regard to the
recently -adopted official plan.
He pointed out that even though
the plan has not yet been final -
l} approved by the Minister,
the twin should carefully ad-
here to the principles set out in
the plan. He also urged that
the town proceed with a zoning
plan and by-law as soon as poss-
ible.
•
Approval was received from
the Ontario Municipal Board
for the construction of new sew-
ers along Diagonal Road at a
cost of some $9200. The de-
benture by- law to cover the
cost will also require OMB ap-
proval.
Public Works Chairman Joe
Kerr reported that regular main-
tenance work on the streets has
been going on as psual with
emphasis .on the repair of holes
in the road surfaces so that
w plowing can be" done with-
out further damage.
Trees --these which must be
removed --entered the discuss-
ion and the general opinion was
expressed that town workmen
should remove as many as poss-
ible during the winter months
when regular duties have slack-
ened off. r
Welfare receipients and the
merits of their various cases
came .up for comment When
Councillor Margaret Ben nett, '
presented her accounts for ap='
proval. Several of the longer
standing cases will be reviewed
where there is evidence that
the recipients have some other
means of support.
Reporting for the Industrial
Committee, Mayor DeWitt Mil-
ler said that he has been con-
tacted by a young dentist who
is interested in locating here if
suitable office space can be

one building permit to cover a
new•residence, value $23,000.
Another permit wasdelayed,

tual location of the site will be
examined before the permit is
passed.
