Construction on Eadie Bridge proceeding :atter than planned Work on the Eadie Bridge is proceeding even better than was hoped, reported Road Superintendent Ross Nicholson to last Tuesday evening's meeting of Turn - berry council. Three footings have been installed for piers and abutments, he said, and added the beams might be put on in January. However, the cement deck will not be poured until the spring when the weather is milder. A completion date for the Eadie Bridge has been tentatively set for the end of June or the first of July next year. Clerk -Treasurer Dorothy Kelly asked council members if they thought a speaker should be secured now for the opening ceremony, but they did not feel it is necessary. The tender deposit of Maloney and Diegel, the firm constructing the bridge, has been returned as the performance bond has been received, reported Mrs. Kelly. She added that 'she also has received a letter from the Ministry of Trans- portation and Com- munications accepting Maloney and Diegel as bridge contractors. In other business, Bill Shifflett of the engineering firm Gamsby and Mannerow attended to discuss the Fortune Drain. The wet weather has halted work on the draip for this year, meaning it will have to be continued next spring. Mr. Shifflett told council members he has en- countered a great deal of difficulty installing drainage tile in George Merkley's bush. Mr. Shifflett suggested leaving the ditch open until it.. was out of the Merkley bush, which would mean amending the Fortune Drain bylaw. "That would be walking on thin ice, said Reeve Brian McBurney' of the suggestion of amending the bylaw after the engineer's report has been accepted by the af- fected ratepayers. Deputy Reeve Doug For- tune added the downstream landowners could be upset with such a change to the original plan because of the danger of having surface water on their land in the spring or after a flash flood. It would be better tiled, Mr. Shifflett admitted, but said it would be impossible to even consider doing so until the spring.

Council members decided to have Mrs. Kelly send out interim billings on drainage work completed this year to the affected landholders. Still with drains, council received a bill from Abe Lewis for a drainage culvert for $383.76. Mr. Lewis originally had asked council to have the culvert installed under an entranceway on his property when work was being done on the Press-Ballagh Drain. The cost of the culvert was added to his drainage assessment . Since then, Mr. Lewis decided he did not want the culvert and asked council to purchase it back from him. He informed council members in a letter that he will not pay his drainage assessment until council buys back the culvert.
