By Anne Narejk® BLYTH - A choice between decorative brick or concrete sidewalks was the issue of discussion at Blyth Council during their May meeting. Portions of sidewalks along Highway 4 need repairs, and because the highway is due to be repaved, council feels that the time is right to undertake the project. The main section of sidewalk that con- cerns council is the block that houses the Memorial Hall. The upper half of the block is finished in decorative brick while the lower hall is concrete. The concrete sidewalk is badly cracked and needs replac- ing. Council discussed replacing this sidewalk as well as looking ahead to future sidewalk replacements. "We have to be consistent," stated Coun- cillor Lloyd Sippel. Councillor Albert Wasson added, "My concern is that we not make them (village sidewalks) too patchy. We should make a long term conunitment now by deciding whether we should go with concrete or brick." Councillor Bill Howson suggested using the decorative brick for the "feature" block in town, which would require brick to be laid from Memorial Hall to the post office. • Council agreed that the block should be finished in decorative brick, but were ''i undecided on whether, when the time com- es, all the main street sidewalks should be done in brick or concrete. ,,',`As attractive as the brick looks, and it does look nice there, I have to wonder whether doing the whole main street night be too much," said Councillor Sippel. The reason for the discussion including other sidewalks along main street is the /111 need to replace the sidewalk by Radford Construction• Ltd: "What it boils down to is dollars and cents," said Councillor Bill Manning. "The government may consider a subsidy for con- crete but not on decorative brick.,,but then we're not sure if we can get a grant anyhow." Although council members were unsure about ;the subsidy funding, Councillor Lowson felt that "a portion of the decorative brick) might be paid because it would cost X number of dollars to put•the concrete.in," Council estimated that laying the brick would cost three times as much as confirm, 'ing with the concrete sidewalk. Before mak- ing a decision, council will, get written estimates which are to include the cost of a base, the material and labor. 11 THE BLYTH STANDARD )3V:SINZSS »Cr w'St OPTOMETRY David Langstaff Ltd ®' l Optician 87 Main St.,mith. ,F I ( )1i•1'H Optometrist's and Ophthalmologist's I'racr•ritrtiun l'illrr11'rntnptl� SUMMER HOURS: Mon., Tues., Thurs., Fri. 9:00 a.m.-5:30,p.m. Closed Wednesday & Saturdays (;OMPI.E'1 VOPTI(:A1,SF1id"1Cf; 527-1303 ACCOUNTANT WARD UPTIGROVE (;11 %li'[EKEI) 1. 01 \I %NTS 1.1S1 f ON! 291-3040 (rE:'\F.li/kJ, .1. itri i Minn ' 15'19114:1 9 2.-) LIFE I ..hrhn h;IliotL :i19-523- 1323 FI,I.IO'I"I' 1 Yl `RANCE BROKERS 111). 1\,1 11 1\(:1•, 1\ %LI, Kli 041:IIh,ti I,. lahli�h, r1 1910 111.11 H.
