NOTICE OF PASSING OF BY-LAW TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corpora- tion of the Town of Wingham has passed a By- law to designate the following property, as be- ing of architectural and/or historical interest under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O., 1980, Chapter 337. BY-LAW NO. 1781(1984) Municipal Address - 256 Centre Street, Wingham DATED at the Office of the Clerk, This 4th Day of July, 1984. J. Byron Adams, (Clerk) cent of.the committed voters said they, would vote Liberal and 7.. per centsaid they would.suppo;rt the NDP. Pollsters indicated that the majority of those polled were women. The calls were made at all times of the, day includ- ing the early evening hours. Prof. Ed Grabb of the Uni- versity of Western Ontario's science department said polls deal with probabilities and it is difficult to know how accurate any poll is. He did, however, say the high num- ber of undecided voters in the BRNN poll is significant. Prof. Grabb said that in his personal opinion, gained from media coverage of the election, the high undecided factor in the BRNN straw poll is similar to the national leanings. Taking into consideration that Huron -Bruce is held by a Progressive Conservative MP, Prof. Grabb said the poll follows the general pat- tern seen across the country. In this election, incumbent MP Murray Cardiff faces Liberal candidate Bruce McDonald, NDP candidate Valerie Bolton and Libertar- ian Joe Yundt. In Huron -Bruce, people were polled in the areas of Clinton, Exeter, Seaforth and Wingham. The PCs led the straw poll in every community and there were no votes for the Libertarian candidate. Overall, the PCs had 57 votes, the Liberals had 15 and the NDP six. About 30 people refused to respond to the poll and that figure has not been ac- counted for in calculating the results of the poll.
