J', W. Brituteil, county engineer, said on Wednesday the new bridge: will he located roughly 1,000 feet westerly from the vela - ing bridge anal will eliminate the dangerous turns, going almost. straight north and south. The bridge will be 136 feet in length and have three spans, continuous T -beam, reinforced concrete construction. The esti- mated cost is 550,000 to 560,000. The bridge will be unique in the county, and possibly in l.hiti part of the country, because it will be founded on narrow steel I-shapecl piles, driven 20 to 30 feet into the ground, This is to overcome an underground water condition. When boring tests were macre for footings, artesian water was encountered at a depth of seven feet, under such heavy pressure that it spurted 22 feet lute the air, a most unusual pressure. One way of overcoming this problem would be to put in large pipes and drain off the water. However, to avoid the possibility of lowering the surrounding wa- ter table and causing wells in the vicinity to go dry, it was decided to drive narrow piles deep into the ground. This would not inter- fere with existing water condi- tions, and not let the artesian pressure aft', Plans have been delayed some- what by the water and founda- tion problems. The concrete piers and abutments above the piles will be of normal construc- tion and the bridge will have a. 30 foot width on top. In order to shorten the length of the bridge, there will be three very slight curves, almost un- noticeable to traffic. This will considerably reduce the cost of the bridge, crossing the river at a 35 degree angle. The bridge is being built by the County of Huron, with the Prov- ince of Ontario paying the usual 80%. Word is expected any day from the Department of Highways, whether the road from Kippen to No. 86 Highway north of Brus- sels, will be reconstructed as a development read. County officials felt that by going ahead with the bridge con- struction, it would better the chances of securing the develop- ment road. The old Grieve's bridge, ,)built in 1927, runs east and west: Township Clerk J. M. Eckert recalls that he was a member of the township council at that time and had• urged that the bridge be built 20 inches higher than the old steel bridge. Instead, the bridge level had been lower- ed 20 inches, increasing the grade on the hill by 40 inches. Township officials expect that the odd Grieve's bridge will revert to the township and will likely be abandoned. Property involved for the new bridge is owned by Wilm.ore Scott, (who will return in a week or so from London where he has been visiting)., also Alex. Smith and T. Govenlock.

A.dditio The necessary provincial grant to allow the construction of three udditianul classrooms, a cafeteria and certain remodelling to the high school was assured a deka gation from the Seaforth district High school hoard at. Queen's. Park, Toronto, on Tuesday. The delegation discussed the proposed building plans with Dr. S. U. Rendell, supeeiutcndenr of secondary education in the prov- ince and otller departmental of- 1!'ials, and were well received. The Seaforth board were rep., resented at the hearing by Chair. man Frank Sills, Ed Dearing.; Clcu'cccn iiartin, board members; L. P, Plnnistoel, principal, and W. 01. Southgate s1 erelary tress rarer, and W. Kyles, architect. Arranging the meeting with deportment officials was Charles' 8, MacNaughtou, MPP Huron. The delegation's visit was brought about by the lunch room in the basement of the old school having been condemned by the Health Dept. This necessitated a change in plans for the planned addition, in order to include a cafeteria. The board had recently obtain- ed consent of the Dept. of Educa- tion and the municipal councils in the High School Area for the original plan. Now they have to start over and get the new plan approved. ' Following the successful visit, to Toronto the local couneils are being contacted. The Department of Education has raised to 5130,000 the cost on which grants will be based. The former ceiling was $85,000 which was considered too low a figure even without the cafeteria. No decision has been reached about serving meals in the cafe- teria. It is expected that some kitchen equipment will be pro- vided.
