third try does it council takes first step toward new 9th line span on the third attempt the mo- tlon taking the first step tow k the construction of the long de- bated mountalmiew rd bridge i mi passed by council monday bight hits time only mayor gibbons i and cr em hyde opposed the notion changing their stand on the issue were deputy reeve j young cr steamer emmerson and cr w smith contributing to their change i of heart according to crs em incrson and smith was the cost breakdown county engineering dept by i 1 damas and smith a copy of which was read to council hie report gave the total cost 1 at 5365500 divided as follows baiway crossing fund 171000 cnr snooo dept of hwy bridges 84250 deptnfhwy roads 20 000 public utilities water 6250 municipality 41 750 municipality side- 16250 walks lightsapproaehes 356500 i these sidewalks nd lights are only on the bridge and do not include the sidewalks curbs gutters and lights on the ap proaches to the bridge in that case the cost to the town is 58000 commented i the mayor as he added the last two municipality figures tur- ning to reeve hunter the may or sair your friends last week at council were wrong tomlinson and his assistant were not my friends exploded the reeve they came into the clerks office looking for busin ess like anybody else the clerk told them i was road chalaan when they asked me if they could come to council i said there s nothing to stop you continuing his outburst the reeve stated 1 pm disgusted l keep hearing vll vote for any thing fuie county pays for it he pointed out that the countys share war not set out in the breakdown read to coun cil but assured the members the county was looking on the proj ect with a favourable eye as the mayor repeated the cost toj the town as 58000 reeve hunt er explained that the county comes under the heading of municipality too and would be included with the town in the 58000 share why not a smaller bndge demanded the myor this is following damas and smith re commendation exclusively thisj reckless expenditure will cost the corporation 58000 why not shop around we will shop around when we put it to tender retorted the reeve as he repeated his statement that the county s share was included in tbe mun iclpality listing as tbe mayor reiterated his demand for shopping around cr fred harrison compared him to someone who runs from doctor to doctor asking advice you end up having to pay all the doctors he remarked tlet s go ahead and get tenders then we know the exact cost toj everybody it will be up to us to see if we can go along conclud ed cr harrison flow do we find out what portion the county will pay asked cr smith of reeve hun ter we are still negotiating replied the reeve and at the moment are waiting for the county engineer to come up with a figure in supporting the motion cr r ballentine stated that four lane bridge is needed quoting from the report he said 400 ve hicles a day cross the bridge and 440 an hour in its peak periods it seems fairly sure the county will pay portion and regardless of what happens the town will have to pay ap proaches sidewalks etc so lets go ahead instead of sitting here and talking indefinitely referring to cr harrisons doctor illustration cr era hyde claimed an architect was a better comparison you tell an architect whether you want a five room house or a ten room house we havent told the engineers what we want we should direct them he claimed the dept- of highways themselves built only a two lane bridge on no 7 highway at gibbons waterloo where mayor gibbons had his car hit by a train vm surprised the cn jr will nay only 17 000 it should be qve times that much added cr hyde u the motion read we apply to hive the cost shares revised and the engln eers instructed to draw up plnsj consistent with those of the depl of highways themselves til go along the mayor agreed with coun cillor hyde stating council should set out what they want its alright for you to say we should tell them what we want but two engineers who had nothing to do with it ag reed with damas and smiths report replied reeve hunter deputy reeve j young quest ioned the size and timing of a bridge why not a three lane bridge he challenged if the dept of highways can build smaller ones at beckfords and nerval why cant we he said the cnr would benefit more than the town despite his ob- jectlons the deputy reeve vot ed for the motion has the deputy reeve ever studied the land use report showing the expected develop meat over tbe next twenty years asked cr a speight i think it- is pathetic that a body of men hash over this when one firm of engineers recommend it and another firm not connected with it and m fact looking for business agree it is necessary concluded cr speight i think its pathetic to have something rammed down our throat by damas and smith re torted cr hyde no other en gineers would run down damas and smiths report it is not professional ethics explaining his change mind cr emmerson stated that earlier there had been no cost breakdown and ijva there was he also felt there wis now rea sonable assurance that thc county would share costs and he could now support the moj tion with only mayor gibbons and cr hyde opposed the lengthy motion passed the actualworor ing of the motion is at follows that we submit- arequest to the board of transport the cnr department of highways and county of halton for approval of revised report on xountate view boad and cnr ie sep aration in the town of george town as submitted by damas and smith consulting engineers

iqulrenient the subject arose when a motion to purchase enough street signs to complete the lane subdivision was presented in this case the money for the sagos will be taken fr mon y on deposit with the town from mr lane reeve hunter explained that r lane had de posited money with the town for the completion of sidewalks and street signs hi the subdivi cr w smith admitted street signs were in the agreement but not illuminated ones how ever council members agreed it would be silly to put up the old type if they were only to be replaced shortly with the new niuminited ones with only eight signs to be erected in the area and money available to pay them we should go ahead with it stated cr a speight cr smith brought up the point that other subdivisions would be coming up with only street signs not illuminated ones in the agreement agreeing with cr smith that this could create an awkward situation council then decided to adopt the general policy of installing these lights every where on a

hazel hall who taught grade 4 at that school for many years before her recent retire ment his people with the old time methodists of an earlier era who built their churches on evangel ism and the midweek prayer meeting the signal to go ahead with the project stems from a decis ion made last year when the deacons challenged the congreg ation with a proposition with sunday school filling all the av ailable space we believe that ifl the gmngs increase by 5 000 lor the year 1966 we shall ac cept this as proof that we should build a sunday school wing at the halfway mark this june givings stood 3 650 above i last year s total at this time sun- day school superintendent bill ganton said it would seem that we have the confidence of our people in this project and that we ought to proceed overall length of the addit ion will be 82 feet and will be built on the south side of the existing church the building will be constructed with three floors tbe main door will open into a large foyer with offices and nursery facilities upstairs will be a gymnasium and kitch en the basement will have a separate entrance from the rear parking lot with two large rooms for the junior and inter mediate departments of tho when asked about the tight money situation rev woods said tf this should prowto bo a problem our church board would probably favour a start this fall anyway building one floor this would force us to wait till 1967 to put up the top no matter what the outcome on mortgages will be it seems certain that a start is in tho offing for september the church is offering mort gage certificates at 6 to anyone who is interested and further details are elsewhere in this paper deacon bob wak- fer commented its a good of fer and a sound investment ive never heard of a church yet that didn t make its commit ments when the addition is finished it will add 8500 square feet of operating space and win pro vide the facilities for a sunday school of 450 one of tbe worst things that
