The public meeting to hear any appeals will be held during the reg- ular council meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 21. Council also approved CNR By- laws for Lots 35 and 36 of Conces- sion 1, which gives ownership of the former CNR right-of-way to the property owners. Discussion was held on the for- mer CNR bridge on Lot 28 of Con- cession 1. Council was concerned about the condition of the structure, and sent a letter to the CNR inform- ing them of council's concerns. Council also accepted thc survey for the McCrae Cemetery at Lot 2 Concession 5, as submitted. The survey was for an improved en- trance to the cemetery. Township council was informed by Andy McBride of the Maitland Engineering Services of Wingham that the work on the Warwick Drain should be completed by Oct. 31. Maitland Engineering Services also informed council that they were in approved of the connection of the Brussels -Morris -Grey Com- munity Centre to the Branch 'C' of the Nichol Drain. A petition was accepted by coun- cil to extend the time for the com- pletion of work on the Bowes Drain at Lot 9 Concession 9. Council will investigate the cost of installing a new light on Jane Street in the hamlet of Belgrave. Council also approved a $100 grant for the Bluevale Hall hoard. Council agreement Turnberry council has signed an agreement with the Wingham and District Snowmobile Association to use Sideroad 20-21 to County Road 7 as a bypass around the Town of Wingham. Terry Hoy attended the second October meeting of Turnberry council to discuss the proposal. As he explained, the town is becoming quite built-up, especially around Wescast Industries and there is more traffic with which to contend. As Sideroad 20-21 is not main- tained during the winter, the snow- mobile association members be- lieve it would lend itself to use as a snowmobile trail. Council agreed with the propo- sal, but asked that Hoy speak with any affected local landowners and get their feedback. Friends art exhibit Wingham's Friends of the Li- brary group will host a fabric art exhibit, beginning the afternoon of Oct. 31 at 2 o'clock. This is the second time the Friends of the Library have under- taken to mount a quilt display, However, as Friends' spokesman Margaret Day notes, it will notjust be quilts which are on display, but wall hangings as well, thus the name "fabric art" exhibit. The Friends of the Library host- ed its first quilt display two years ago in 1993. That exhibit met with such public acclaim and enthu- siasm, that the group decided to en- list the Five Star Quilters Guild to mount a second exhibit. Formed in 1987, the Five Star Quiltcrs come from various com- munities in Southwestern Ontario and run the gamut of ages. They have one thing in common, a shared interest in the art of quilting. The guild meets regularly for work- shops, in fact last week, JoAnn Stickler of Indiana conducted a seminar at the Wingham Legion Hall. In addition to working on quilts for their own use, guild members also make Christmas stockings and doll blankets for the Salvation Army at Christmas, as well as quilts for fire victims. Darlene Schiestel, guild histori- an, is to open this year's cxhihit. The fabric art cxhihit runs during li- brary hours from 2 p.m. on Oct. 31 until closing time on Saturday. Nov. 4, in the gallery at the library. Other upcoming events for the Friends of the Library include its annual book sale at the end of Janu- ary, as well as its art show of local talent early next spring. Auxiliary Rummage Sale...Little Christina Hastings and her friend, Jeanine Stamper, shopped for bargains in the toy department at the fall rummage sale sponsored by the Auxiliary to Wingham and District Hospital last Thursday and Friday. Jan Jackson assisted the girls in making their purchases. WDH auxiliary rummage sale raises over $1,000 Co -convenors of thc fall rum- mage sale held Oct. 19 and 20 in the Wingham Armouries and spon- sored by the Auxiliary to Wingham and District Hospital, say they are pleased with the results of the sale. Mary Lou Bourne, Debbie Cur- rie and Lois Baynton report $1,892.30 in sales, the highest it has been for three years. The mon- ey will be used to buy equipment for Wingham and District Hospital. Paving not realistic Continued from front page perintendent Dennis O'Malley said he believed that, at one time, pro- vincial government criteria for pav- ing was 400 cars per day. Culross Reeve Ralph Kreutzwis- er said paving the boundary is not realistic in these days of govern- ment cutbacks. Municipal councils could he facing 40 per cern cuts in road subsidy from the province over the next three years, Kreutz- wiser noted. However, he said, Cul- ross council will look at the boun- dary when preparing a live -year: road plan of its own. Kreutzwiser and Turnbcrry Reeve Brian McBurney toured the boundary earlier this month and both said they found it in good con- dition. In fact, Kreutzwiser said conditions on the boundary have been greatly improved this sum- mer, calling it a "Cadillac" among gravel roads. O'Malley played devil's advo- cate in asking, "Do you think the ratepayers (on the boundary) will settle for this decision (not to pave)?" "They'll have to," said McBur- ney. A number of years ago, the two townships spent considerable money widening and improving the boundary. "All ratepayers are better off with good gravel roads, rather than one good paved road," noted Culross Councillor Ken Scott. Members of both councils said they believe the days of paving, outside the built-up areas, are over. "We came here to get a consensus between the two councils," said Kreutzwiser. "Well, now you have an an- swer," said Turnberry Councillor Bill Purdon. However, it is an answer which may not sit well with the ratepay- ers' committee. When at Turnberry council this summer, committee members made it clear that they would pursue the matter to a higher authority if the township councils said no to their request of paving. The chairman of the ratepayers' committee, Ron McGlynn, will be . notified in a letter of the joint coun- cil decision. In an issue aside from the boun- dary, Turnberry council agreed with Culross Councillor Agnes Bregman's request that the two mu- nicipalities compare quotations for calcium chloride and gravel in the spring. Members of the two coun- cils discussed some other common issues as well, including the Bryce Drain and the 25th sideroad.
