Average ' Annual Interest r„ Maramtt T CHOI COMPOUND INTEREST OR REGULAR INTEREST sr� NEIGHBORS HELP—Neighbors were a welcome sight at the Larry Taylor farm on Con. 8, East Wawanosh Friday morning. Hay which had started to smolder was forked out la I of the barn by about ten neighbors and the Winghem 'Fire Department. The department was called to stand by in case fire broke out. Councillors and policemen- agree on the need for CPIC Representatives of Wingham town council and Police Chief Robert Wittig are in agreement with four other communities lin Huron County that a joint com- munications system isneeded for their police forces. The system w.outd involve a headquarters for a Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC), a computerized service that supplies police with in- formation on suspects within seconds by ,way of radios in their cruisers. Presently, police of- ficers have to telepthone Ontario Provincial Police detachments equipped with the system. The Goderich detachment of the OPP is now equipped with one. Where headquarters would be located poses a question, but Chief Wittig said the location is a secondary concern. "Our main concern is that we have it." "The technical services branch of the Ontario Police Commission would be doing a survey on the economics and feasibility of loca- tions for the service," Chief Wittig said. He said not having the service makes things more difficult, as it is virtually impossible to tele- phone the service when on a case or conducting an investigation. "We are the last stronghold in the province to get this," he said. A meeting in Goderich _la6st Wednesday raised the questppn of where to locate the. ser''ice. Councillors • Tom Deyell, Ray Walker, Angus Mowbray and Deputy Reeve .Harold Wild at- tended the'. meeting with Chief Wittig and representatives from Clinton, Seaforth, Exeter and Goderich: Clinton Mayor Harold Lobb • made it clear at the meeting his town feels it should have the communications headquarters. However, police communications expert Jim Fraser said. while Clinton is more central, Goderich has a larger police and office staff, and to centre the system in Clinton would mean enlarging,the present police offices there. While Wingham councillors 'didn't all agree on the location, they generally feel the system is needed. Mr.. Wild said they. will certainly have' to take some action as discussion has been going on for three or four years. "I think it will have to go 'to Goderich, although the location Plans continue for 8 -line road, bridge Plans for the B-lind road and bridge continues in Turnberry Township as preparation for the International Plowing Match to be held next year. Council passed a motion • at its Oct. 4 meeting to request the Ministry of Transportation and Communication (MTC.) to re- place clay tile under the B-line road with perforated steel pipe. Council also agreed to pay 50 per cent of the labor and equipment rental costs to replace hydro' poles by the bridge. In a letter to MTC, B. M. Ross and Associates, engineers, ex- plained that some action will be necessary to protect the drain under .the B-line when the load is increased after the road is widened. According to a plan and profile of. the Elliott and Underwood Municipal Drain in 1923, 14 inch tile runs on the south shoulder at Lot 29, Con. 1 westerly for 1,384 feet to • Lot 27 and crosses northerly and outletsinto an open ditch. The second part runs from the West, 323 feet on the south shoulder in Lot 26 and is 16 inch tile. It has been necessary to repair the tile in' the past. This tile will be well within the traveled portion of the road when it is widened. It is presently with- in one foot of the existing road, at a depth of four feet. Since the engineer and Road Superintendent Len Baird believe the present the will be destroyed during construction and since it is in good condition now, council is asking MTC to replace this tile with perforated steel pipe. Eight hydro poles must be re- located on Lot 11, Con. 1 for the B-line bridge construction. Coun- cil learned the total cost is es- timated at $6,400, of which $2,948 is labor and equipment rental. Council agreed to pay 50 per cent of the labor and equipment rental for replacing the poles. Council also proposes to exca- vate material from an island up- stream from the B-line bridge. The proposal includes removing the westerly part of the existing island upstream from the bridge, resulting in a considerably wider channel along the west side and improving the flow of water through the bridge. - The excavated material will be placed and levelled in the northerly end of the existing channel along the east side of the island. Council received a letter from agricultural representative Don Pullen ,thanking it for im- provements on the B-line bridge and road as work towards improving the area for the plowing match. The New Democratic Party wrote council for comments on a proposal to change the election date to mid-October rather than to the third Monday in November as proposed. A motion was passed stating that date would be unsuitable due to fall harvest pressures on rural people. Wintario capital grants will have to be submitted for consideration before project work begins as of January 1, 1978. Council learned that assistance will not be' available after Jan. 1 for projects that are already under construction or completed. Road accounts were passed as presented. doesn't make much difference. The reasons for Goderich out - measured those for Clinton, such as a larger police force, and we wouldn't have to hire as much extra help as in Clinton. Ray Walker said he thougO,t it would,be cheaper to go to Clinton. because of the telephone lines there although, "others think it is probably ideally set in Goderich. It would be $50 a month cheaper in Clinton foreach of the five municipalities." Angus Mowbray said although it was the first meeting he had attended about the system, he thought since Goderich had more potential for growth and a larger police force it would be better located there. • "As to charges, it should be on a per capita basis, not an equal basis. Goderich has about 8,000 and Wingham has 4,000 popula- tion." Tom Deyell agreed. ;`I'm not in favoreof splitting it fiveways; it should be on a per capita basis." He said if the costs were split five ways, Wingham would be paying more than it pays now whereas on a per capita basis it isn't really going to cost the town more. • ' Mr. Deyell said Clinton is a central location and it would save Wingham some money due to the shorter telephone lines there, but Goderich does have the larger police force and will have a system whether the other muni- ' cipalities agree to have one or not. Initial costs for establishing the system, Mr. Fraser said, includ- ing new radios; monitors and radio towers, would\ be about $70,000.. All five communities would share the costs. ncia1 grantsl would cover abbot 75 per. cent' of . each municipality's share. Chief Wittig said it livotdd take ,up to 12 mouths to implement the system. Temp. of hay recorded at 140 The. Winghaxn fire department stood by Larry Taylor's barn for two hours Friday morning as smoldering hay was forked out of the building due to overheating. Mr. Taylor lives on Conc. 8 of East Wawanosh township. • Fire Chief David Crothers re- ports that Mr. Taylor had record- ed a tedaperature of 140 degrees and steam coming off the hay when he called the department at about 8:30 a.m. At 10:30 a.m. the barn was smoky and the little hay left in the barn was black. A tractor was taking shovels full of hay from the barn also. Neighbors assisted in forking the hay out of the barn and for- tunately no fire broke out. Darn - age was the loss of hay only, which was not estimated at the time of publication. WHAT WOULD A FAIR BE without cotton candy? Shari Button (whose father, Doug, is president of the Teeswater Agricultural Society which organizes the fall fair) is all set for a sticky afternoon, after sharing some with her friends. Il
