Council felt a- recent ministry of transportatipn and communic- ations surrey of Ontario bridges would lead to a provincial priority for rebuilding bridges in need of repair or replacement. Turnberry council authorized preliminary planning for a bridge to replace the one -lane steel structure, which has an eight -ton Load limit. A site meeting will be set up with ad- jacent landowners, project engineers B. M. Ross and Associatefs and with Ontario, Hydro. , Turnberry Road Superin- tendent Len Baird told council he had been talking with engineer Ken Dunn and the engineer said the provincial ministry is making repair and replacement of faulty bridges a priority for the next five years and that additional • provincial funds might be set aside for bridge work. The township had applied two years ago to have the bridge replaced but the application was filed with the transportation ministry, Mr. Baird said. There are several problems with the present Eadie bridge, including the narrow width.of it, he said. "It's deficient in width right now," Mr. Baird told council. Snow plowing across the bridge also causes problems, he said, because the heavy snow clearing equipment is well over the eight - ton load limit: Coun. Doug Fortune said the approach to the present bridge•is, very hazardous. 'Presently motorists. must descend a steep hill and make a 90 -degree right hand turn to cross the bridge from either direction. "I've been surprised there hasn't been a bad accident before now," Mr. Fortune said. • Soil hydrology tests have been completed in the vicinity of the bridge but other . tests, ,will be necessary, before plans can „be developed for a new structure, Mr. Baird said. Deputy -Reeve Harold Elliott said because the township is starting to plan for the bridge now, council will know, by,budget time if it should include the bridge work in its 1979 budget. FOUNDRY DRAIN A copy of a letter from B. M. Ross and Ass'ts. to Wingham Clerk William Renhck told Turnberry council that the town and Western Foundry Co. Ltd. want to put a drain across Arthur Street, which is a township road, to draih away runoff from Western Foundry property. Junior Institute conducts auction HOWICK — Everything from homemade Christmas decora- tions to crafts, plants and festive foods, created a holiday mood for the members of the Junior Insti- tute when they held their Novem- ber meeting. The Christmas goodies and crafts were auc- tioned by Elaine Ash. The members also made corn husk Christmas wreaths, under the instruction of Trix Denney and Liz Hargrave, The meeting was followed by a light lunch' of squares made by Mary Ellen Ball, Liz Hargrave and Mary Douglas. All members are urged • to attend the Christmas pot luck' supper on December 21 at 7:.3e p.m. at the Fordwich Community Hall. WI euchre FORDWICH — Mrs. George Bartman and BM Jonas played their cards well enough to earn them the top prizes when the Women's Institute sponsored a euchre party, in the community hall on Friday evening. Fifteen tables were -in play. Low Scores were held by Miss Violet Beswetherick and Many Gibson, Sam Johnston was the winner of a special prize. MRS. LEWIS STONEHOUSE -- Belgrave Mr. and Mrs. Glyn Wide, Kimberley and Jennifer of Mount hope, Ray, Nicholson of Toronto spent the weekend with their parents; Mr. and Mrs. Garner Nicholson. CHRISTMAS CAKE—Whileothers worked at crafts, Mary Lee Rooney and Jill Swatridge of the Jack Reavie workshop got the ingredients ready for baking Christmas cake. The workshop's annual craft and bake sale is coming up right after the Santa Claus parade Dec. 9. • • WREATHS AND THINGS—Wayne Procter was working on the initial stages of a Christmas wreath last week while Eileen Haugh packaged the gift tags she had made. These and other crafts, together with baked Items, will be on sale in the Oddfeilows' hall Dec. O. Turnberry council agreed to the project if the drain across the street is a temporary measure. The epgineer had also planned a' permanent drain, up to 24 inches in diameter, which would run along Arthur Street from Albert Street to the river. Estimated cost of the project would be $19,500, the letter said. The accompanying map showed the drain located under the middle of Arthur Street, complete with catch basins to take in surface water. Mr. Baird said that scheme wouldn't work because the road is presently gravel and the gravel would,wash into the catch basins and plug them. The letter didn't say how much, if any, the township would be expected to pay toward the project, but Mr. Baird said the foundry should be expected t� pay a large percentage of the cost because most of the runoff would be from the foundry roof and paved lot. In other business, council finally passed the 1978 auditor's agreement with Monteith and Monteith auditors of Stratford. 'The 1978 audit will incluilee an audit of local board books. The auditors won't guarantee that all billing irregularities will be uncovered but the ones they discover will • be reported to council. Council filed a letter from awford. Mill and Davies which stated that six 1961 bylaws passed by the township and by Howick Township and Huron County didn't close a portion of County Road 12, as the bylaws were intended to do. The bylaws are illegal because they didn't in- clude a legal description of the affected road allowance when they were forwarded to the lieutenant -governor for ap- proval. In a split decision, council amended its procedural bylaw to include an article which states that a two-thirds majority of council members present at a meeting are required to rescind a motion, of council. Four of five council members are now required to rescind a council motion, though a simple majority was all that was needed previously. Mr. Fortune, who proposed the change, said the new rule might require more thought on coun- cil's part before a motion is changed. Coun. Ben Malda didn't agree and said a simple majority indicated council's wishes. Council decided it had no ob- jection to a severance application by Robert Campbell, who wanted to sever part of Conc. 8 Lot 9. The land is presently and would continue to be used for agriculture. Clerk Dorothy Kelly reported she had received verbal approval of additional provincial subsidy for the Lower Town bridge reconstruction. Council had earlier applied', for additional subsidy of $6,250.76 but had received word that the money would not be available. Reeve Do>! Eadie said the money was probably made available because of the efforts of Huron -Bruce MPP Murray Gaunt, who approached the transportation ministry to see if funds could be provided for the project. In other business, council turned down an IBM proposal which would have allowed township residents to pay their property taxes monthly. Mr. Eadie said the idea wasn't as attractive as it might be in urban municipalities where people are 'paid regularly. Beef farmers and others who are paid on a seasonal basis, wouldn't gain by monthly billing, he said. Council also turned thumbs - down on a Northern Telephone bid for Turnberry's coanputer tax billing business. IBM presently does the work at a cost of about $500 a year, Mrs. Kelly reported. The Northern Telephone price was about $200 a year for processing tax bills and mailing them, but council felt the New Liskeard business was too far away for the service.
