( Wendy Somerville photo) Fire board bylaw under study WINGHAM - Town Council has given two readings to a bylaw establishing an area fire board, but has held off on another bylaw naming Dave Crothers as the fire chief. In a recorded vote requested by Deputy Reeve Patricia Bailey, council voted 7-2 to give first and second reading to the fire area bylaw. Fire Committee Chairman William Crump said this will leave time for council members to study the bylaw before it is finally passed, which he said he hopes to have done at the January meeting. He invited any councillors with questions to bring them to him and he would try to get them resolved before then. Only Mrs. Bailey and Mr. Currie voted against the bylaw. Mr. Currie said he fully supports the concept of the fire board, but cannot accept the way the costs are being shared among the municipalities. Council agreed to table another bylaw ap- pointing Mr. Crothers, who currently serves as chief of the Wingham Fire Department, as the chief under the new board. Some councillo. s suggested it would be better to allow the new fire board to select whom it wants as chief before making the appoint- ment. • A wage request by the firefighter!; was in- cluded on the agenda for the council meeting, but was not discussed. Mr. Crump said it is something the area fire board will have to deal with. This week at card matches Lost Heir Five tables of Lost Heir were played at the Blyth Memorial Hall last week.
