Yesterday afternoon deputations
from the townehip of Colborne and
the township of Goderich addressed
the council with reference to the loca-
tion of the proptkwd new Hohuesville
bridge. and deputfations from the
town of Wingbxul and the town of
Goderich addressed the council with
relereoce totbe securing of an annual
grant from the county to the hos
pitals in these two towns'.
The Colborne towuahip delegation
were in large numbers " and Messrs.
Baer end Kernigb,tn addressed the
council strongly in toyer of the Ie -
building of the bridge on the ;present
site, while Councillor Salkeld and
George laithwaite, of Undertch town•
ship, Advocated tilt• huildiug of the
bridge at the upstream site recom-
mended by the committee appointed
for the purpose of finding the hest
sit•.
The Colborne speakers were armed
with a petition setting out the reasons
they advanced for wishing the bridge
in the present site and the speakers
suppletuentef this with argument
claiming that the new site would give
more hills on the road and steeper
grsdee than the old, that the new road
would he more drifted with snow it
the winter. that the present site
afforded just es good foundation for
the piers of the bridge as the new,
[bet the bridge could he shortened at
the present mite to slake, it not
much longer than the bridge at the
up--stes am site would be, that to
abandon the present site would means
the wasting of a large alnount of
money which had been spent in cut ling
clown the approaches to the bridge
and in putting the road in good
shape, and that the new situ would
mean a great deal extra travelling fur
some of these.
Counelllor Salkeld for the Gode• rich
township side of the dispute laid em -
pliable on the qualifications of the )nen
who formed the fomltoittee which
recommended the up -stream a i t c.
