,Airportiommittee,apprctves '30,000 maintenance budget
as pump island, fencing, run*vays get top
The Sky Harbor airport
Committee approved .a $30,000
budget last week that covers
everything from light bulbs to
future development. The.
maintenance, administrative
and development sub corn-
- mittees brought itemized
budgets, to the last airport
meeting to make final additions
and deletions before taking
their suggestions to council.
'" Maintenance for the recently
acquired municipal airport. will
receive the lion's share of _the
budget. Slightly over two
thirds, $21,000, will be spent 'on
runways, parking lots,
buildings and equipment the
committee feels is in desperate
need of repair.
Three major projects the
maintenance committee plans
to take on in 1975 are a new gas
pump island with new pumps
and tanks, the leveling of a
gravel pit on the airport
property and fencing for the
perimeter of the Sky Harbor
. ,
property.
The pump island for the
refUelling depot • .will be
upgraded, ft,.- a result of
nu mer4us suggestions from
plane owners and the airport'
manager Doug Hunter.
The island now ebnsists of,
one usable pump and one that, is
out of order and is surrounded
by a gravel hase that forces,.
pilots to push their craft to and
from the_ site to prevent

The new island includes three

Another report on changes in
the provtincial Electoral
Boundaries Act has been tabled
in the Ontario Legislature, that
puts half of Huron County in
Jack Riddell's Riding, and the
Northern 'Half in Murray
Gaunt's Riding. Both are
Liberal members.
The new bill would see voters
in Tuckersmith and Seaforth
returned to the Huron Riding,
after objections were raised
over' a report last December
that placed Tuckersmith and
Seaforth in the Huron- Bruce
Riding.
The Huron Riding will lose
Lobo Township and Strathroy
from its Southern end. They
will be added to Middlesex.
• The new Huron -Middlesex
will. include' th.e' ToWns
of G oderi eh, -Clintern,-Seaforth,
Exeter, and the Huron County
Townships of Gode ich,
Stanley, Tuckersmith,
Stephen. ,„ and Usborne; t
, Middlesex Townships o
Adelaide, Biddulph, East
.Williams, McGillivery, and
West Williams and the Towns of
Parkhill, Ailsa Craig, and
Lucan.
The' remainder of Huron
County, including Blyth,
• Wingham and the Townships of.
McKillop, Hullett, Colborne,
Ashfield, East and West
Wawanosh, Grey, Howick,
Morris, Turnberry and
Brussels will be in Huron -Bruce
Riding.
Jack Riddell, the Liberal
member of Huron -Middlesex,
may be running against the
present Conservative
Agriculture Minister, Bill
Stewart, who loses his riding,
partially to Middlesex and
partially to Huron.
Mr, Stewart, who has been

his 18 years in the Legislature,

Gaun told a Bruce Federation
c re,meeting recently
e Ontario Hydro Pow.er
or from, the Bruce
ing station through
Wing m to Kitchener and
Georgetown is unnecessary.
Mr. . Gaunt, Liberal
Agricultural critic, said the line
could . go' through a northern
area and -then swing downto
Kitchener and, 'Georgetown
without disturbing as much
prime farmland.
A second nuclear plant will
.likely be built on Lake Huron if
the Seaforth line goes through,
he said. Ontario Hydro has
been considering a nuclear"
power generating station in the
Goderich area.
Hyd-ro,plans should be closely
watched as the publid. dor-
'poration 'will have about three.
billion dollars per year for
,capital spending every year for
the next eight years, Mr. Guant
said. Most of the money will
come from New York markets.
Grey Bruce MPP Eddie
Sargent, also at the meeting,
said Hydro doesn't need
another nuclear power
generating station.
Ife predicted solar" energy
will provide about 30 percent of
power needs within the next
feW years.
He criticised Hydro spending.
as being for the establishment
and against the interests of.
agriculture.
Perhaps farmers ' could get
together and buy out the big
packers as a step to gaining
some power, he suggested.

June or in October.
Mr. Stewart said he will not

Contesting a riding in whith he
doesn't live, because his farm
is in London Township, which,is
in. theMiddlesex riding.
He had indicated last year
that he would not seek re-
election.
The changes in the electoral
boundaries was an effort by d
three-man commission to make
the ridings more equitable in
the _province. _The Cotb mi ss ion
consisted of Mr.' Justice
Campbell Grant of London,
Legislature Clerk Roderick
Lewis, and University r of.
Western Ontario professor
Robert Sansom.
,The commissions' final
report, which was tabled in the
Legislature on' Tuesday, in-
creases the number of seats
from 117 to 125. Six of the -eight
new seats are, in Metro Toronto,
and the other two are in Kit-

• budget. The new pumps will
cost the committee $1,500 each
and the, underground storage
tank. 83,500, Paving the pump
island is the most expensive
portion of the project, costing
the municipality $2,200.
Fencing for the perimeter of
the airport property was
reduced drastically by the
committee to enable them to
stay within their $30,000 ccin-
fine. The original cost for the
fence was $14,977 but this figure
was cut by more than half by
maintenance chairman Dave'
Gower, The cost for fencing at
- the airport for 1975 will 'amount
to$4,500,
- The main parking lot at the
airport will be graded and
marked with curbstones and
will receive a coating of gravel,
The lot described by Dave
Gower as -a-sea of mu'4-will
...cost_$1,360.to upgrade -
The other area of the airport
to receive special attention is
the main runway. In an earlier
manager' s report, Doug Hunter
told .the comMittee that the
runway was deteriorating.and
should be examined by an
asphalt expert to determine its
life. County engineer Jim
Britnell responded and in-
formed the committee that the
surface 'was in A-1 shape and
