The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-10-07, Page 7Council Faces Money Problems This Month • Meeting in regular session on Monday evening Wingham town council had to settle a number of questions that seemed to stretch the current budget. A letter from the recreation committee requested council to • consider an extra $1, 000.00 for its current budget. The letter explained that the program set up this past summer had seen activities increased extensive- ly and that it had been neces- sary to purchase more equip- • ment than had been anticipated. Council discussed the prob- lem at length, and came to the conclusion that the committee had done a fine job this sum- mer. However, some mem- bers felt that next year the • committee would be able to budget more accurately for the 1966 program, after the experi- ence of this year. O.M.B. APPROVAL The Ontario Municipal Board • • • i+ wrote council to the effect that approval has been granted for the financing of an extra $10, 000 in connection with the renovation of the Howson darn. The work will be carried out by the Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority, financed through the Department of En- ergy ergy & Resources Management. Still on money problems, council agreed with a recom- mendation of finance chairman Warren Callan to raise the sal- aries of two men on the police force and one town employee. Chief Miller's salary was raised by $300.00 per year and Con- stable Doug Foxton by $200.00. David McKay, who works in the street department, was given a five cent an hour increase. Council turned down a request to purchase winter clothing for the crossing guard. Council will petition the Ontario Department of High - In Wellington -Huron Vote HOWE HELLO FOLKS: On Tuesday, September 21, the Progressive -Con- servative Party nominated me as their candidate in the forthcoming election of November 8th. It has been my privilege and honour to have rep- resented the riding of Wellington -Huron at Ottawa since August 10th, 1953. During that period, my party has sat as the Government and as the Opposition. The local problems presented to me either by municipal councils, school boards, hospital boards, farm organizations, hearth units, Legions and private citizens have always received priority. While at Ottawa I have been a member of the Com- mittees on Agriculture, Health and Welfare, and Rail- ways. Here I have been able to study and discuss par- ticularly the problems of the farmer, the disabled and the elderly, and the continuing problems of the employ- ees and the customers of the railroads. As your member during the periods when Parlia- ment has not been in session, Mrs. Howe and 1 have enjoyed meeting you at your fall fairs, and your com- munity activities of all kinds. The experience I have gained in the last 12 years have given me a knowledge and background which would enable me to serve this great riding of Welling- ton -Huron in a capable and understanding manner.

COURT OF REVISION Council set November 9th as the date for the Court of Re- vision hearings. Appointed to the court were Elsner Wilkinson, G, W. Tiffin, W. 11. French, Reeve Kerr and Mayor Miller, Council also passed a motion to request the P.U.C. to install light standards and lights on the new John Manna Memorial Bridge when it is completed next year. The bridge will re- place the old McKenzie Bridge on Josephine Street. Clerk Wm. Renwick said that a meeting with the Depart- ment epartment of Highways and the con- sulting engineer, had been set for October 13th to discuss the standards required by the town on Diagonal Road and Victoria Street, before they revert to the town from the Department as a connecting link. This will occur when the causeway is built from No. 4 Highway, east to join up with No. 86 High- way at the easterly limits of Wingham. When this work is complete it will mean No. 86 will completely by-pass the community, and the two streets in question will no longer be part of the Department's sys- tem. Before being turned back to the town, however, the De- partment will bring the roads up to a standard acceptable to the town. Building permits totalling 81'7,000 were approved by council. The clerk also said that a joint meeting of council and the Public School Board had been requested for Tuesday eve- ning, Reeve Kerr reported that the town hall auditorium has been cleaned and looks very good, Councillor Williams said that the town hall needed re- pairs to its outdoor lighting and council agreed to have the prob• leen investigated. He also said the snow fence at the Brown factory could be taken down be- cause part of the structure which collapsed has been clean- ed up. Council Approves Continued from Page One. ridor and to its east side, one classroom and the library will be constructed.

Resident DONNYBROOK --Miss Jose- phine McAllister, a life-long resident of West Wawanosh, died Sunday, September 19th at Wingham & District Hospital. She was in her 87th year and had been hospitalized only a few days before her death, Miss McAllister was the daughter of the late William McAllister and Jane Ann Wilson and was born March 7th, 1879, on the farm home, where she resided all her life. In her earlier years she was well known in the surrounding community, having been a practical nurse. She worked with the late Dr. B. C, Weir in many of the homes.

Rod Will Pave Angus Street This Year In a change of plans council decided to hard -top Angus Street this fall, instead of Sum- mit Drive as had been schedul- ed earlier in the year. The change came about due to construction problems on Summit Drive. Before the Tar- ter street can be paved, storm sewers, gutters and curbs have to be built. A short time ago the contract for this work was let to Mowbray Construction and it has been recommended that the curbs and gutters should not be built until next spring, since they would be over the soil ex- cavated for the storm sewers. The recommendation from the contractor said that if curbs were laid on this soil settling would occur during the winter and cause trouble. The street committee re- commended to council that An- gus Street in the north ward should be surfaced. Prices have already been submitted by Lavis Construc- tion for supplying and laying blacktop at $6.90 per ton. Some grading will be required on Angus Street before the work can proceed. Council also agreed to a coating of black- top on Alfred Street east. This work will fit into the budget al- loted for paving earlier this year. McLeod officiated at the ser- vice, Interment was in Dun- gannon cemetery. Pallbearers were Donald Thompson, Cyril Boyle, Gus Redmond, Theodore Redmond, Wallace Wilson and Robert Mc- Allister, neighbors of the de- ceased. Attending the funeral were relatives and friends from Sault Ste. Marie, Shakespeare, Lon- don, New Hamburg, Bronte, Guelph, Chatham, Seaforth, Goderich and the surrounding district. Miss McAllister's only niece, Mrs. Tom Bailey and her hus- band of Oak Lake, Manitoba were unable to attend their aunt's funeral as they were har- vesting, However they since then finished the harvest and motored over arriving Saturday for a week's visit with their uncle, David McAllister. DISEASE IS EXPENSIVE It is estimated that approxi- mately 2 billion dollars are lost each year in Canada and the United States because of plant diseases, For example, in 1946, the late blight fungus 'which caused the Irish potato famine in the mid -19th century) attacked tomatoes in the south- ern United States, causing a loss of more than 5067E, of the total crop. In some communi- ties that year the retail price of a bushel basket of tomatoes was $15 and more. Robert E.
