The Wingham and District
Hospital Board has taken a
step to ensure prospective
board members know what
they are getting themselves
into. The board agreed last
week to send out a job
description to all municipal
councils which nominate
members to the board.
In the past some ne
members have not .had
very clear idea of the
duties, Vice Chairman Ma
Lou Thompson told th
board. Some have thoug
they would be required

month and that the boar

Noting that members ar
expected to sit on one or tw
committees in addition to th
regular boardmeetings
Mrs. Thompson propose
sending out a "job descrip
tion" so councils could le
prospective candidates kno
what is expected. The boar
endorsed the proposal.

THE GRADE 2 CLASS from Sacred Heart School in Wingham and
teacher Mary Kinahan did their bit to beautify the school last week by
planting some tulips in the flower bed at the front of the school. The
tulips were donated by the Wingham branch of the Royal Canadian
Legion.
Roads, severances and bridge
discussed at ratepayers' mtg.
Roads, severances and the
fate of the 10th Line bridge
were among the topics
discussed at a ratepayers'
meeting attended by over 30
East Wawanosh residents
last Wednesday evening.
At the meeting Ernie Snell'
of Westfield announced he
would be challenging East
Wawanosh Reeve Neil
Vincent in the upcoming
•municipal election. The
other four members of East
Wawanosh council all an-
nounced they would be
running again: Jim Taylor,
Vaughn Toll, Fred Meier and
Don Schultz. John 'A. Ciirr-ie
and ' Ray Hallahan both
announced they would . be
seeking council seats.
John Gaunt also an-
nounced at the meeting that
he will seek election to the
Huron County Board of
Education. •
A good deal of time at Last
week's meeting was spent
discussing a disagreement
which occurred last year
between Huron County and -
the township over the Kruse
Pit; near Westfield:
Mr. ,Currie asked council
members what actually
happened at. the pit.
Mr. Vincent said it was a
case of "too much runaway
operation (by the county)
without the proper permis-
sion (from East Wawanosh
council)''':
East Wawanosh Road
Superintendent Ralph
Campbell briefly explained
the situation. Last year when
the county was making
improvements to a nearby
road, it entered an agree-
ment with East Wawanosh
for the township to supply
gravel for the project.
The county was authorized
to remove the top of a hill on
a township road allowance
and remove 10,000 to 12,000
yards of gravel. In return .
East Wawanosh wanted
some improvements made to
a section of township road.
In a nutshell, ..said Mr.
Campbell, the county took
more gravel than the town-
ship had agreed to give it and
then would not'fix the road to
the township's satisfaction.
satisfaction.
"It's been a dirty deal all
the way through," said Mr.
Campbell, but he added he is
proud of the way the town-
ship council has stood up for
him and now the problem is
solved.
Mr. Snell said the' job
should have been stopped in
METERS REMOVED-Wingham Police Sgt. Doug Fox-
ton,. WJn.ghana._-Reave-Von--Kerr-and-Mi -VGi77ie-o?'-tTie
town works department all had a hand in removing the
first parking meter from the town's main street last
Wednesday at 1 p.m. The meters have been on the
street for close to 20 years, but council approved their
removal earlier this year after a request from the town's
business association.
the early stages before it
turned into such a problem.
However Mr. Toll said coun-
cil was powerless in
matter when the coun
chose to "walk over top
the township".
Finally after some furth
discussion, Hiebo Siertsem
commended council for , i
stand in the 'matter an
suggested the people of th
township should stan
behind their council mem
bers.
SEVERANCES
Mr. Currie asked if th
township would be willing t
look at a •new, less rigi
policy- regarding severances
one that would provide more
areas in the township for new
businesses and homes.
However Mr. Gaunt spoke
out against such a practice,
saying it upsets the agricul-
tural character of the com-
munity. "Until they realize
that agriculture . is . number
one, they can stay the hell
out of the township."
Mr. Currie pointed out that
the increased assessment
from new homes and
businesses would increase
the township's tax base.
When asked to give an
update about the fate of the
10th Line bridge, Mr. Vin-
cent reported soil tests have
been completed at the site.
He said council, has been
instructed by the Ontario
Ministry of Transportation
and Communication to make
minor repairs to the 1911
structure,
As far as council's role is
concerned, Mr. Vincent said
council must keep lobbying
the MTC for funds to replace
the bridge. East. Wawanosh
council also is committing
funds yearly to reserves
earmarked for replacing the
bridge.
On the subject of taxes in
the township, Mr. Snell
aimed taxes in East
awanosh have risen 30 per
nt in the past three years.
ile farmers get a 60 per
nt rebate on their taxes,
e business man does not.
Mr. Vincent said there are
any factors contributing to
reased taxes, including
