have been declining since 1984.
However, it is also pointed out that
traffic has increased.
Annual losses were reported as
$280,670 in 1984, 8230,,523 in 1985,
$176,265 in 1986 and $216326 in 1 .'♦
During the same period, traffic
has increased from a low of car-
loads in 1985 to 135 carloads in 1987.
The agency has also determined
(-that there is a potential for
additional traffic which could be
moved at competitive rates, s, tthereby
offsetting current losses.
During the two days of hearings
last June, officials of Premdor Inc.
testified that if the rail line were
retained, the company planned a
transfer of a portion of its Scar-
borough plant to Wingham which
would result in an increase in
carload traffic to the company's
plant here.
Wingham businessman Jack
Hodgins also testified that an
informal pooling operation of his and
other building supply businesses in
this area would also be increasing its
carload volume if the line were
retained.
In summarizing his findings, Mr.
O'Brien indicates that this testi-
mony had some bearing on his cow
elusion that there is reasonable
probability of the line becoming
economic in the foreseeable future.
Reconsidering the application in.
18 months will a11oo Prerndor to
demonstrate to the agency that it
can increase traffic levels on the
line, he said.

Township representative
suggests a compromise
(Continued from Front)
was the board 'that asked for a
formal motion from Wingham when
he had raised the issue at the
January meeting.
East Wawanosh . representative
Fred Meier argued • that not all
hydrant costs could be considered
firefighting -related since the town
still needs hydrants at the end of
lines in order to flush its water
system.
"In other words, they're a part of
your domestic water system,”
Howick representative Norman
Fairies said. Howick has no need for
fire hydrants, he later added.
Mr. Fairies also quoted insurance
statistics which supported the rurai
municipalities' clams het -hydrants
� nNls'n: ...�.
clearly . result mz malor2 premium
benefits to residents of Wingham.
Mr. Underwood, along with anoth-
er Turnberry representative, John
Cox, presented the board with
figures which calculated Wingham's
average cost per hydrant to be about
$190 annually.
Instead of asking the other four
municipalities to pay 60 per cent of
the total hydrant costs, Mr. Under-
wood asked if the town would
consider accepting 100 per cent of
the costs for hydrants which would
likely be used by Turnberry, Morris
and East Wawanosh.
All agreed that Howick, because of
distance, receives no benefit from
the hydrants.
Mr. Underwood said the grant
would be approximately $2,000 and
shared proportionately by the three
municipalities which would benefit.
"There's not a whole lot of dif-
ference in what we are willing to pay
and what you would be paying for a
tanker," he said. -
"If we have a good fire system,
why split it up," Mr. Cox added. "We
don't want two fire departments, at
least that's our council's opinion."
Based on a figure of $2,000, Mr.
Underwood's proposal suggests
Turnberry's share would be $1,040,
while Morris would pay $510 and
East Wawanosh $450.
"I willsecond that motion if it will
settle this issue," Mr. Meier said
when the proposal was recommend-
ed.
Even if Wingharn council were to
accept this latest development, the
proposal still must be approved by
all three of the municipalities which
will be sharing the cost of the grant.
