Wingham police. Earlier they ha& visited both the Turnberry Central School and the Wingham and District- Hospital, where it was reported a doctor's wallet was stolen. Chief Robert Wittig of the Wingham Police Depart- ment said that ' upon responding to the call at the school, he interviewed the two men who identified themselves as insulation contractors. Turnberry Reeve Brian McBurney and Clerk -Trea- surer Dorothy Kelly were authorized by council to sign 'the contract for construction of the Eadie Bridge at a meeting held last Tuesday evening. The low tender, of, $355,835.80 from Maloney and Diegel of Stratford was accepted. Ken Dunn of . the engi- neering firm B. M. Ross and Associates was authorized by cotmciliat its last meeting on Oct. o investigate the contractor's financial status and work record. Afteran extensive in- vestigation, Mr. Dunn found- the company of Maloney and Diegel ` was formed in February of this year. The firm has been involved in the construction of four bridges this year, the largest being a $123,000 structure in Simcoe County. The principal partners in the company are Mike Maloney and 'dim Diegel. Steve Malone tis employed in. an' advisory capacity. All three men have experience in the const uction business and have worked with such firms as W. -G. Kelly and Looby Builders Mr. Dunn-. said the Eadie Bridge will' be' heir biggest project' to date, and" said`they may require more super- vision. But he Said in his letter to council that their credit rating is "as good as gold" and added they are eager to start. References rated their qualityof construction from satisfactory to good to ex- cellent. In. conclusion Mr. Dunn reported he could see no reason why council should not accept the tender of Maloney and biegel. Mrs. Kelly told council members that the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications will be forward - YOU MAY NOT GETA SECOND CHANCE In a head-on collision at 50 kph (30 mph), it only takes 1/10th of a second for a car to slam to a shattering stop. Many people think they can protect themselves in a collision. But even in a low - speed crash an unbelted person hits the inside of the car with the force of several thousand pounds. Wear your seat belt properly -snug and low over the hips, the shoulder belt. worn loose.enough to allow an inch or two between chest and belt -especially on those short trips close to home when most accidents occur. Write for the booklet "What you should know about seat belts" to: Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Public and Safety Information Branch, 1201 Wilson Avenue, Downsview, Ontario M3M 1J8 Buckling up can mean the difference between walking away from an accident and being carried away. Ministry of Transportation and Communications ntario James Snow, Minister William Davis, Premier ing a letter of approval for the hiring of Maloney and Diegel for the construction of the bridge. In other business, council discussed the circulation fee of $100 which it received from the Ontario Municipal Board concerning a bylaw which would allow a Baptist church school to be built on the B-line. The Wingham. ,,Baptist Church paid the $75 cir- culation fee when the bylaw was first circulated in June. That .original bylaw met with opposition from 19 rate- payers from within the im-. mediate area who objected .to -the school being built. Since then the matter has been forwarded to the OMB for a decision. - "I don't think the church should have to pay for it," said Deputy Reeve Doug Fortune. "They (the objectors) op- posed it; they should "pay," said Councillor John Cox. Council decided to forward the bill to the objectors' lawyer. Turnberry Township will enter an agreement with CN Rail to pave the railway crossing at the Western Foundry. The railway wanted the township to pay for half of the materials. But council members decided the town of Wingham should have to pay half of that sum because the street in question is on. the Turnberry-Wingham boundary. George Underwood will clean snow from the dump this winter at $28 an hour and Bob Burchill will clean off the Lower Town bridge for $20 an hour. - Council instructed Road Superintendent Ross Nichol- son to coat the Lower Town bridge to stop the slippery driving conditions.
