County Buys Land for
Wider North Road
Expropriation notices from, the
County of Huron were received
during, the week by property
owners along the County Road
from Seaforth to Winthrop for
the widening of the road allow-
ance to 100 feet. Present width is
86 feet. 17 feet is being purchased
by the county: from both sides of
, ' road.
'J. W. Britnell, county engineer,
told The Seaforth News on Wed-
nesday that purchase of almost
all the properties had now been
settled. He was well pleased with
the favorable reception accorded
by property owners, as there had
-been no serious objections, as
sometimes happened in road wid-
ening.
No grading will be done this
year on this five mile stretch of
road. Hydro poles will be moved
back and new fences erected.
Property owners were given a
cash option in lieu of a new
fence, but nearly all had accepted
a new fence.
Payment was based on three
times the assessed value of the
land, for the area purchased
That -is, if the land was assessed
at $50 per acre, payment was at
$150 per acre, plus fence.
The widening will not affect the
built up part of Seaforth. It starts
a few feet from where the drain
crosses the road on Thorpe Riv-
ers property. The Marie Hickey
and Vanderzon places in Seaforth
are also affected. The exact loca-
tion of the Seaforth town limit
had been hard to find, Mr. Brit-
nell said.
Altogether, land was purchased
from over 30 property owners
between Seaforth and Winthrop.
