AMBERLEY AIRPORT

WON DOMINION

That there- is t� be an airport

almost, a Ceetainty now, as it is
• understood a numberof farmer
have signed agreements to dispose
• of their farms to the Government,
• More thah 500 acres of land in Ash-
field Township, south of Amberleyi
are included in these agreements.
• Faring included are those of' Hec-
tOr MacLeae, • Duncan Thotburre
Stewart and Charles Wiley, Matt-
hew McDonald, the vacant Walker
•'farm' and POI -times of the farms- -of
•Sohn and David Ross. Donald Blue's
farm west and south of Amberley
is not affected.
What type -of ari airfield or train-
• ing centre will be established is
. • purely conjecture it seems. Last
, year a thousand acres immediately
north of Arnberley between the
Blueviater Highway arid the Lake
, front were Surveyed simposedly
, withea view to establishing a gun-
-
, e

eet sites along the lake in Huron Coun-
ty were also surveyed at that time.
The AmberleY site involved intin-
erons fine and.produCtive farms and
was reportedly colleted out on this
account •
Indications ef ati airfield immed-
iately south of this site /tow give
rise to further speculation. The new

had vacated the building, this
meant a loss of some $1,100.00 to
them. (2) The town was badly in

that the Bank who were interested'

days the mercury stood at 98 de-

were common in August of that
year and according to local figures
July of 1936 was the hottest spell
recorded in half a century.

Municipal business, and is a• credit
to the municipality. It has two
modern Neproof vaults which are
absolutely neeessary for the _safe
keeping of all • hydro and town
records.
(3). These vaults were built ac-
cording to the Bank”of Commerce:
architect's specifications and in-
spection and coat at that time $1750.
There is no disputing •this, as I
was the contractor for this Work
and it was let by tender. .
' (5) The re, nt we are paying is
exceptionally reasonable especial-
ly when compared to • the pride
which the cOuncil state they eie-
pect to receive for the apartment
in the other building. We are pay-
ing $144.00 a year with no taxes,
and the council expect to get $150,00
a year less the taxes they will not
receiee were it private property.
(6) As stated before I was in
dote touch With this dear at the
beginning and more or less since,
and I am quite satisfied that there
'neyer has been, and there is not at
thiS time any' differences between
the town & elle owner which coirid
not be amicably settled by ,the use
of a• little' tact plus comnion per-
sonal and businesS Sense.
(7) Apparently the work on this
proposed 'Office building is going
to cost us much more than the by-
law calls for. What are we going
to do with an upfinished building,
or where are We going to get the
money to finielf it,
eS this is purely a mat-
