In March of this year, county council
decided to keep Ball's Bridge open t traffic
for a period of 10 years. it was also agreed
that the bridge would not be replaced in case
of any damage or removal by natural causes.
The bridge will also be inspected again at the
end of the 10 -year period t determine
whether it will be further maintained or

The maintenance costs for the bridge,
currently posted with a single 2 tonne

Ministry raises
seed tree prices
Effective August 1, the Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources raised the price of tree
seedlings sold to the public for reforestation
purposes to 5.0 cents per tee plus a $10.00
charge per order. At this new price, the
private landowner who purdiases tree
seedlings will pay approximately one third of
the production cost. The remaining asst is
subsidized by the Ministry as an incentive to
encourage reforestation of marginal or
erodible farmland.
Tree seedlings were first made available to
private landowners in 1905 for purposes of

This price remained in effect until August 1,
1986.
Since 1905, over 800,000,000 tree seed-
lings have been distributed by the Province
for reforestation of private land in Southern
Ontario. Currently, about 20,000,000 trees
are distributed each year by the Ministry of
Natural Resources for this purpose, with
nearly one million of these being planted
tacelly within the Wingham District. Land-
owners owning at least two tretares (five
acres) of land exclusive of any part occupied
by stnicfures are eligible to purchase these
tree seedlings for use in reforestation
projects. Details are available from local
District Offices of the Ministry of Natural
Resources.
