MUTCH FINE FURNITURE 71 ALBERT ST., CLINTON 482-9505 )AY, NQVElV1;l E921,1904 Biidge construction m.acot over EAST WAWANOSH TWP. - The cost to build a new three -span bridge on East Wawanosh's 10th , Concession has been estimated at over $800,000, according to engineer Ken Dunn of B.M. toss and Associates, Goderich. Mr. Dunn's letter was read at a meeting of council and although members did not ap- pear surprised at the estimated cost, it reaf- firmed their desire to press the Ministry of Transportation and Communications for bridge subsidy. A report tabled in June of last year estimated the cost to build a new bridge at the site at $600,000. Numerous repairs have been made to the 1911 bridge over the past two years and its load limit has been reduced to the present seven -tonne limit. Mr. Dunn proposes that the new bridge be constructed 20 metres north of the present structure and the 1911 bridge be used as a detour over the two years the new bridge is being constructed. In addition to the actual bridge work, con- siderable work is required to improve the approaches to the bridges, particularly to cut back the steep hill west of the bridge. Representatives of East Wawanosh coun- cil have met with Harold Gilbert, MTC deputy minister, twice in the past year to petition his ministry for a new bridge on the tenth. The most recent meeting was held last month between Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Dunn, East Wawanosh Reeve Neil Vincent and Road Superintendent Ralph Campbell. A letter from Mr. Gilbert's office was read at last week's meeting regarding the Oct. 4 meeting. In his letter Mr. Gilbert said he recognizes the priority council has placed upon the bridge and that East Wawanosh is prepared to direct substantial township MVCA book recalls past of local folk A colourful story of the history of the land and people of Goderich and Colborne Townships titled, "Windings", has recently been published by the Maitland Valley Con- servation Foundation.

East Wawanosh council members said they do not feel the situation is hopeless and instructed Mr. Campbell to apply for sup- plementary subsidy for a bridge early next year, NEW MUSEUM Huron County Council has received a recommendation to restore its Pioneer Museum at Goderich. The estimated cost of the restoration is $2,137,520 and county coun- cil is looking for feedback from the county's municipal councils. The reportalso recommends that the county contribute $300,000 per year for five years with the money being made up of grants from the member municipalities. East Wawanosh's per annum share is just over two per cent or about $7,000. Mr. Vincent asked council's feelings about the matter and asked members if they wanted to go into committee -of -the -whole lip discuss the proposal. Some members expressed discontent with the breakdown, saying those municipalities located closest to the museum should pay more since they will receive the direct benefits. Finally, after some discussion council decided to deal with the proposal at the Dec. 5 meeting. In other business, council received cor- respondence from the Blyth Community Centre Board stating that board has pur- chased property value at $14,200 and is look- ing for 'a grant of $2,840 from East Wawanosh toward the project.
