THE tLUNG ASSOCIATION New council disc•usses bridge at inugrai meeting Wawanosh's new township council dealt with the 10th Line Bridge, com- mittee appointments and a drainage report, to name a few items, at its inaugural meeting last Wednesday. Ernie Snell, elected reeve in the Nov. 12 municipal election, conducted the meeting and took the oath of office along with Councillors Jim Taylor, Ray Hallahan and Don Schultz. Councillor Fred Meier was absent. Ken Dunn of the engineering firm B. M. Ross and Associates of Goderich presented the new council with an update on the town- ship's 10th Line Bridge. The engineer reported the previous council had ac- cepted a proposal to locate the new bridge and ap- proaches slightly north of the existing bridge so the old structure could be used during construction. However council en- countered a problem with one of the property owners and even though that problem -since has been resolved, repairs were made to the existing structure this year which are to last from two to five years. In the meantime Mr. Dunn said the soil tests and preliminary plans for the new bridge have been completed. The engineers have • found artesian water conditions in the bedrock where the new bridge's footings are to be located. This new development is an unwanted problem, but not one that cannot be dealt with, said the engineer. Mr. Dunn reported wells may have to be drilled down into the bedrock to alleviate the water pressure, adding to the $805,000 already estimated for the cost of the new bridge. "Now it (the bridge) could cost over $1,000,000," ob- served Mr. Snell. Finally after some further discussion, council gave Mr. Dunn the go-ahead to seek preliminary plan approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications, the Ministry of Natural Rgsources and the Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority. APPOINTMENTS Council made a number of three-year appointments at the meeting. Those in- dividuals and agencies appointed were: Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Wingham, township bank; fenceviewers, George McGee, John Jamieson, Brad Galbraith, John Lockhart, Fred Armstrong, Robert Charter; poun- dkeepers, Phih Black and John Currie; Wingham and District Hospital Board of Governors, Lorraine Cook; Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority, Ross Taylor; East Wawanosh Recreation Board, Jim Taylor, Neil Vincent, Leonard Robinson, Greg Cook, Murray Shiell, Ralph Campbell, Gerald McDow- ell, Fred Meier; Blyth Fire Board, Coun- FEED A FAMILY of 4 for Tess than '3.00 each L. ono Box, 12 pieces of r ntuckv Fried.

In other business drainage engineer Donald Pletch of Exeter presented his report for the Jackson Municipal Drain, the total cost of which is almost $10,000. Affected landowner Vaughn Toll was present for the reading of the report and indicated he will appeal his assessment at the court of revision in February. A letter was received from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment warning the township it must 'cease burning operations at the township waste disposal site. Mr. Schultz, upon whose property the dump is located, declared a conflict of interest on the discussion, but did point out° that if burning no longer is allowed at the site, the township will have to move the dump from his property. The other members of council said they understood Mr. Schultz's concerns and agreed this could become a very big problem ,in the future as the cost of finding and opening a new site would be prohibitive. . Some members of council expressed the opinion the township might not be able to afford a dump .site in the future, but Mr. Hallahan said.,J2kt•.,Cou1,d SeeAbe problem of ref e: in the roadsides startin all over again if there were 'dump.
