Country library construction
is on schedule; good weather
The Bruce County library head-
quarters being built in the industrial
park at the north end of Port Elgin
is on schedule, thanks to good
weather.
But finance chair Paul Eagleson
said the . $775,000 building could
have. been $5,000 to $12,000
cheaper if Port Elgin and Saugeen
Township had been able to agree on
a different location for the drive-
way.
Saugeen Township council recent-
ly denied permission for a direct
access to concession 10. That meant
the county wasn't able to avoid a
more expensive driveway onto
MacKenzie Drive.
Asked to account fqr his council's
decision, Saugeen Reeve Harry
Thede said it went back to a nine-
year-old dispute over a development
proposed for the township. Thede
said in that case the developer was
told that strip malls were not
encouraged, and an urban fringe
study was needed.
He also accused Port Elgin of
"passing the buck" in attempts to
get the extra dri,veway approved.
t "What's good for the goose
should be good for the gander. To
permit an additional entrance is
strip development," Thede said.
In spite of the driveway dispute,
plans are to close in the new head-
quarters by Christmas, and to offer
the old headquarters on •Gustavus
Street for sale.
