McKillop council settles asphalting controversy After listening to the concerns and interests of two groups of resi­ dents, McKillop council agreed at its July 5 meeting, to asphalt two separate roads in the township. A controversy first arose when Sideroad 10/11, north from High­ way 8 at St. Columban was select­ ed for asphalting under the federal/provincial government's infrastructure program. A group of business owners and residents from Cone. 12/13 put together a petition requesting coun­ cil to consider the concession for asphalting because of a 'greater number of businesses and larger volume of traffic.' At the meeting, council decided to asphalt both roads; a 2.5 km. stretch on Sideroad 10/11 and 6.25 km. on Cone. 12/13 running from Huron County Road 12 to the Huron/Perth boundary. Road Superintendent Wayne Dolmaee was authorized to call tenders for asphalt to close Aug. 2. The tenders received for work on Sideroad 5/6, north of Cone 2/3 to Don Cronin's driveway were opened and the submission by Donegan's Haulage Ltd. was accepted at a cost of $77,737. The Ministry of Transportation approved a supplementary subsidy for the purchase of a grader, com­ plete with plow equipment. Ten­ ders will be called, to close on Aug. 2. The Court of Revision for the Canada Company Municipal Drain was scheduled for Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. Tenders for the open and close work for the drain will be adver­ tised as one contract and will close on Aug. 2. A borrowing bylaw was passed to cover the completion of drainage work on the Canada Company Municipal Drain, in the amount of $35,400. Council agreed to the proposed repairs to the Bolton Drainage Works for Grey Township. A delegation from the Huron County Library Board attended the meeting to inform council of the strategic plan prepared by the board. Board member Beth Ross told council the cost per circulation at Walton Library is $30.02, the sec­ ond highest in the county.
