But the grader purchase will not be the only thing adding to a roads deficit this year as several construction projects also went over budget. As far as the old grader is concerned, Mr.: Scott said he feels it is more economical ,for council to keep the Wabco for snowplowing this winter. It cost the township $16,000 to hire a third grader and an operator last winter, so Mr. Scott said he thinks some of that money could be saved if the township had a third machine of its own on stand- by. However if the Ministry of • Transportation and Com- munications - instructs council to get rid of the old grader, Mr. Scott said he would go along with the order. But he wants to see it in writing first or have the MTC officials attend a meeting. Mr. Morrison said he feels it is time for the township to make a change to John council is 011t ove Deer, because he is tired of fleeing repair bilis to hampion (for the 1902 grader) in the road aceo The-.1,984 Champion grader has a new and untried engine in it, he added, and the town- ship road •employees -did not want another Champion grader. As for the deficit, Mr. Morrison said it will only mean a carry-over of last year's deficit of $16,000 "as far as 1'can see" and doesn't think it will be as dire as Mr. McBurney and Mr. Fortune make it out to be. Like Mr. Scott, he said he thinks keeping the old grader could cut down on winter maintenance costs for the township. When contacted, Mrs. Wright said she does not profess to know a lot about graders, but she believed Mr. Scott when he said he feels the John Deere machine is the best buy for Turnberry. Mrs. Wright said she does not like going into debt to purchase the grader, but pointed out if there is a deficit this year it will be partly due to the carryover from 1983 and other over - expenditures in this year's road budget, not just the grader purchase. Earlier this year when council applied for sup- plementary subsidy on the gender fro;n the i iiniastr3, of Transportation and COM, munications, she .said; and even when council '' ad- vertised for tenders, that )' was the time money con- cerns should have beep aired. ,. and not after the fact. Mr. Fortune, who did not attend last Tuesday's meeting, said later the reason financing was not an issue earlier was that council did not know by how much this year's road projects had been overspent. Mr. Fortune said he is not in favor of buying a new grader this year. He would have been in favor of the township fixing up the old grader and trying to make it do for at least another year. In a telephone interview ,, late last week, Mr. Mc- Burney stated his opposition to the grader purchase. He said he does not feel the township can afford a new grader this year, even with the $53,500 in supplementary subsidy offered by the MTC. The reeve also said he is opposed to keeping the old grader because he feels Turnberry is not a large enough municipality to warrant three graders. As far as winter snow- plowing is concerned, he said, the township spent The Wipghalm Advance-Tlrnes, Aug 29, 14--•P08e 5 $16,000 last year for a third Marcaine, tq p!ow. its roads. This year, if cpundll has to hire a mala, biay the fuel and pay for the upkeep on the grader, .he does not feel it will . save any money by savings a third grader on standby,. Mr. McBurney said since 1985 is an election year he is concerned about saddling a new council with a deficit, which means 'this council will have to clean up its deficit next year, possibly by cutting back on. services to its ratepayers. Turnberry may have received subsidy on the grader this year, but getting additional subsidy in 1985 when council must pay the second installment on the new machine is still a• big "if", he added., Shower held -for Peggy Schnelder FORDWIC# -- A.'miScei laneous shower was hold last Thursday evening in the community hall for Peggy Schneider, who will be mar- ried next month. Mrs. Jack Mann and Mrs. Leo Ruttan conducted contests and Mrs. Ron Livermore gave a reading which gave the bride-to-be lots of tips ,on keeping her husband happy. Miss Schneider, assisted by her sister Laurie and Mary Lou Rowley, opened her many gifts and then thanked everyone. Lunch was served by the hostess, Mrs. Mann, as well as Mrs. Ted Ilaasen, Mrs. John Sturgeon, Rene Sturgeon, Mrs. Bruce Kennedy and Mrs. Ruttan.
