The other council members echoed his sen- timents. Council has been involved in a Lengthy expropriation process in which the town- ship was granted the right to expropriate one-quarter acre of land from Lorne Baird of Lot 16, Con. 10 for construction of the Eadie Bridge. The matter stemmed from. a request made by council about the possibility of a government subsidy for 'a new grader this year. The townships Galion grader has undergone repairs recently and the Wabco grader is in need of extensive repairs. The MTC has agreed to give the township $209,000 toward the construction of the bridge in 1981 the same in 1982. A new -grader would cost approximately $125,000. After a lengthy discussion, council decided to repair the transmission and tandems on the Wabco grader as well as check the blade control at a cost of between $10,000 and $15,000. Road Superintendent Ross Nicholson speculated that the ministry has forwarded more money to the municipalities. now than it can afford. He said he wondered if the MTC is seriously looking for ways to cut back its.1981 budget. It was reported that Ken Dunn •of B. M. Ross and Associates advised council that his firm is working on the design •of the Eadie Bridge and might have it completed in two weeks. After submission to the MTC it would likely. take three to four weeks for approval. Council estimated, that •tenders for the bridge could be let by the middle of.Aug- ust, with construction start- ing sometime in September. It was tentatively decided to make the bridge a winter work project. Much\ of the construction on the B Line bridge was done during, the winter and it worked out quite well. • In other business, two drainage delegations at- tended last Tuesday evening's meeting as Bill Shifflett of the engineering firm Gamsby and Mannerow presented reports on the Hyslop and McCreight drains. The Hyslop Drain will give outlet to 65 acres on the south' half of Lots 1 and 2, Con. A. The total cost is estimated at approximately $12,000. C until. provisionally ado `ted the report on the drain; but has scheduled a courrof revision for August 4 at which the assessment for Bill Sanderson, one of the landowners involved, will be • Rug assessed. for a cost -benefit analyis. A lam contingent of ratepayers attended to dieetlss the McCreight Drain, which is an existing municipal drain located west of Wingham near Whitechurch. It involves landowners from Turnberry, East Wawanosh and Kinloss townships. The proposal is for repairs and .improvements to the existing system for its entire length. The drain has silted in heavily in many places and • has become ingrown with small , trees. The estimated cost of the work is $58,299. Council provisionally accepted. Mr. Shifflett's report on the. McCreight Drain„ and. said that any assessment injustices will be decided upon at the August 4 court of revisions. Council has received several complaints about the township dump. Residents have complained that the dump is not being kept up and there is no gate on the dump. This allows people to enter at any time of the day or night. MRS. WILLIAM SOTHERN estion It was decided that 'the farm committee will draw up a set of instructions to be followed by the dump caretaker. A new waste disposal site also is to be sought. Council agreed to insure the new ballpark lights for $15,000 wind and lightning coverage. The Bluevale Recreation Association had. hoped for $22,000 coverage to compensate for the volun- teer labor used to put up the lights but councillors said they did not feel this was necessary. The park's foodbooth is to be insured for $1,000. Council passed a site plan for a gravel pit owned by Joe Kerr' on the northwest half of Lot 20, Con. C. • . Several council members have been approached by \residents of the township concerning plans for the township's 125th anniversary celebrations next year.
