(Source: State of Rhode Island) 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.
