Wingham Advance-Times, 1981-01-28, Page 2uary 28, 1981 • urchase 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. What's new at Huronview? Last Monday afternoon in- terested residents met in the auditorium to discuss the forming off a Residents' Council. It was decided at that time to meet again on Friday when the nomination committee, which consisted of a resident from every section of the building, had prepared a list of delegates who would represent the residents on the council G ace Peds Ma Ro Chestney and Edna Cantelon enjoyed shuffleboard in the auditorium on Monday after- noon. The Goderich Township Women's Institute came to Huronview on Wednesday afternoon to help celebrate the ' January birthdays. Molly Cox and Alberta Driver entertained the resi- dents.

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 ripped up then I guess that's 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. MRS. GEORGE BROWN .
