(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Council will reserve decision on line route A resolution from the township of Turn - berry asking for support in opposing On-. tario Hydro's plans to run a 550 KV line through the county was rejected by Huron County council. While the Turnberry resolution specifically solicited the support of the council, it opted to endorse a recommenda- tion of the planning and development com- mittee suggesting that no action be taken until 1985 when Hydro's study process will be complete. Reasoning that the county must take a "broad view" of the transmission line study, committee chairman Russell Ker- nighan said the situation was a difficult one. "We tried to take a broad view of the matter. Youhave to understand that we all use hydro and the lines have to go somewhere," he said. "But in Huron Coun- ty, first-class farm land is our main argu- ment in opposing the line. Class one land is not a large commodity in Canada." While the loss of prime farmland is a key consideration, Morris Township Reeve Bill Elston suggested compensation for the loss of that land is also a factor. "Hydro came to Morris •because there' already is one line through there and in 1967-68 when they proposed that line, they told me there would be three lines through there before hydro gets out of the Bruce," he explained. "They said there would be two 250 KV lines and one 500 KV line. That was 15 years ago and it's coming true. "But I feel sorry for the farmers with towers who are carrying the responsibility for Ontario. It would be nice if somebody else could bare the inconvenience. My peo- ple are reasonably happy with hydro. We need hydro but let's put it where it's best." County planning directors have been asked to participate in the study process and Gary Davidson of the Huron County Planning Department said Ontario Hydro will study Huron County for a possible cor- ridor site until April, 1985. "In April they ( Hydro) will determine if they will proceed with a line through Huron from the Bruce to the London area or across the north route to Barrie," Davidson said. '`A decision should be made then on Huron's position. It's wise to participate in the study until then." The planning director added that Hydro lets the landowner decide whether com- MESVILLE RAI.

One councillor suggested it would be ludicrous for a landowner not to accept a one-time cash settlement but added that farmers who purcahse that land would still have the inconvenience but no compensa- tion. , • GODEICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1984 -PAGE 15 Institutes c �carry out varied activities 1 / 4 CHECK Ol.i1 R WIDE SELECTION OF FINE GIFTS FOR EVERYONE i I ECKo-oc� PI la rmacy 524-7241 14 SHOPPERS SQUARE, GODERICH YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD DRUG STORE , Almost three-quarters of a million dollars needs in the community and then ways of� was generated by 1,152 Women's Institute g those needs.
