New Grey Township
Bridge Officially Opened
Hon. Charles S. McNaughton,
minister of highways, cut the
ribbon that officially opened a
new bridge which spans the Mait-
land River on Con. 8 of Grey
Township, one-half mile east of
Ethel.
lust of the project is placed in
the $50,000 bracket. The old con-
necting link with the county
road was rerouted and a new
approach built to join with Con.
Reeve Clifford Dunbar term-
ed the bridge "the most expen-
sive in the history of Grey Town-
ship!'
Others taking part in the cere-
mony were Huron County
Warden Webb: Robert McKinley,
MP elect for Huron,: Elston Card-
iff, veteran member of Parliament,
who retired prior to the last
federal election, and a longtime
resident of the Brussels-Ethel,
area; Kurra.y Gaunt, MPP for
Huron-Bruce; the consulting
engineering firm of Burns and
Ross, Goderich, and the con-
tractor, G. A. Gibson, Wroxeter.
Hon, Mr. McNaughton said
such ceremonies "are a mark of
progress!' He added that com-
pletion of this project in Grey
is another step in overcoming
the backlog of bridge building in
the province.
The highways minister said
the Second World War caused
a big gap in the province's bridge
building program. "We've had a
backlog, of over 3.000 bridges and
that is why the Ontario Govern-
ment is providing such large
gra.nis for bridge building."
Pointing to the SO per cent
grant. he said this has given
'municipalities encouragement to
get on with replacing their
old structures but added "it is the
municipality which must take the
first step."
Hon, Mr. McNaughton praised
Grey Township for its initiative
and sense of responsibility.
Reeve Dunbar referred to the
personnsl of Grey Township
Council which had remained un-
changed for six years "a record
for the municipality." It was
during their term of, office that
the bridge was planned and
built. Mr. Dunbar paid tribute
to Coun.cillors Archie Mann and
Glenn T-Tuether who Served dur-
ine fhe six pears and expressed
reirrie the they had rlericled to
