stall the Eadie Brid
Turnberry Township has
decided to begin preliminary
work for construction of a
new Eadie Bridge, however
council :dust first iron out
Some difficulties with a
small land purchase in-
volving Lorne Baird.
Approximately one-quar-
ter of an acre owned by Mr.
Baird is required. before the
township can proceed with
the bridge, located on a side -
road between Con. 9 and 10.
Ken Dunn, an engineer
working on the project,
explained that only two
proposals have been ac-
cepted by the Ministry of
Transportation and Com-
munications, which sub-
sidizes up to 80 per cent qf
the costs. However the land
must be secured before
council can receive MTC
approval and begin con-
struction.
The two plans are: B,
requiring a 40 mph speed
limit, and G, which allows
for a 50mph speed limit.
Mr. Baird voiced several
objections to • the. proposals
during last week's general
meeting and suggested that
a public meeting be held to
discuss the bridge because of
LI
4e,
the costs involved — at least
$120,000 of township funds.
One of Mr. Baird's con-
cerns is his `pond, .located
near the parcel needed for
the bridge. He claimed the
pond may empty into the
Maitland River if construc-
tion takes place. He is
worried also that the front of
his property would- be
"ripped up" during the
building.
Mr. Baird was not in favor
of proposal B (40 mph),
which he said may not be
adequate for the future.
"Nobody knows what
transportation will be like in
the future. We are building
this bridge for the future, not
for today."
Council agreed with the 50
mph speed limit as outlined
in proposal G, which costs
$45,000 more, requires more
maintenance (snow
removal), more township
property and less of Mr.
Baird's. It also involves a
higher bridge crossing the
river at a sharper angle,
more road work and pur-
chases from the other in-
volved ` landowner, Mac
Eadie.

After a lengthy and con-
fusing discussion Mr. Baird
presented council with a
letter, which he said he will
"put in the paper", stating
his request for a public
meeting. He said he will
negotiate the land purchase
with Turnberry after the
letter is published, "because
I want to show the people
that IL tried to get a public
meeting. This should be ex-
plained to the people who are
paying for it.
"If the people decide they
want the front of my place

Two positions available
in Turnberry Township
Turnberry Township
Council is looking for two
people to fill the positions of
building inspector and waste
disposal site caretaker.
The building inspector
position became available
following the sudden death of
Les Greenaway, and
Clarence 'Buck' Longdo re-
signed recently as care-
taker.
Council decided at a
meeting last week to adver-
tise the two openings.
In other business, a $500
donation was requested by
the Wingham and Area Day
Centre for the Homebound. A
letter from the centre's
board of directors stated that
all municipalities that have
residents attending the
_centre will be asked for a
donation. However the letter
did not explain how many
homebound individuals in
Turnberry use the facility.
Louise, Marritt, a member
of the board, will be invited
to a future meeting to dis-
cuss the request.
A $25 donation was granted
to the March of Dimes.
Council passed a bylaw for
its appointments to the Blue -
vale Hall Board. Serving on
the board from Turnberry
will be John Searson, Bob
Searson, Jack Shaw, Wes
Paulin, Jack Jenkins and
Harry Elliott. Jean Mathers
will be the Bluevale Wo-
men's Institute representa-
tive and Deputy Reeve Doug
Fortune and Councillor John
Cox will represent the coun-
cil.
Representatives from
Morris Township will be
Reeve Bill Elston, Ross
Turvey and Etoile Johnston.
The township will apply for
the balance of its 1980 subsi-
dy from the Ministry of
Transportation and Com-
' munications and it was re-
ported that the 1981 subsidy
will be $100,500, a 16 per cent
increase over last year.
Some more good news was
a refund from Huron County.
The amended county ap-
portionment resulted in a
refund of $163 for Turnberry
Township.
