HENSALL 262®2527r !Mama 34843433 GRANTON 225®2360 Town takes ste BY JEFF SEDDON Goderich town council took another small step toward establishing a 5,000 foot paved runway at .Sky Harbor Ale Monday night wh. it instructed its solicitor to negotiate on three lots at the north-west end of the proposed airstrip: After a closed session council voted to instruct solicitor Dan Murphy to negotiate with Doug Hunter of Goderich and Joe Tzeiber of Chatham to purchase three lakefront lots that border airport lands. The three lotslie between the lake bank and the end of what is now a grass runway. The town would like to extend the grass strip and paveit to give Sky Harbor a runway long enough to accommodate - jet traffic; The purchase of the lots would give the town ample room to construct the runway provided funds are available to pick up the tab. The major runway now open at Sky Harbor and the only paved strip at the airport is 4,800 feet long but because of its position between Highway 21 on the east and cottages on the west only 3,800 feet of it is usable for air traffic. If the three lots in question are purchased and construction goes ahead the new runway would provide 5,000 feet of usable pavement for planes landing and taking off. The 'problem the town faces • with the runway that is now paved is that it is barely long enough to accommodate.. landing of small jet aircraft. Business Air Services, one of the major users of Sky Harbor, operates such aircraft and would like a better facility for landing and taking off. The town has been told by the federal department of transport that the paved runway is inadequate for safety reasons and can only be used in ideal conditions. Council instructed cQDERICki $IQNAL-STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24 lialimr.P.AGE 7 to new ruriwa Murphy to time any negotiations with the March budget council who will be preparing for 1979. Any deals made with Tzeiber who owns one lot will not be finalized until March of next year and the Hunter land will be acquired In 1980 if possible. Council had a recorded vote on the issue. Mayor Harry Worsell and councillors Jim Searls and Elsa Haydon voted against acquiring the land with Reeve, Eileen Palmer, Deputysreeve Bob Allen and councillors Stan Profit, am es • Magee, John Doherty and Brian Knights voting in favor of it.
