Chamber of Commerce to install Victorian lighting Scugog Township council has agreed to pay $21,000 this vear towards the cost of buying and in- stalling Victorian-style street lighting, benches and garbage con- tainers for Queen Street in Port ' Perry. The funds for this project were allocated Monday afternoon as councillors made changes to the 1987 municipal budget. The total cost of the 17 street lights, four benches and ten heavy duty permanent garbage con- tainers is estimated at about $48,000. The Scugog Chamber of Commerce, which initiated the project last year, will pick up the balance of the cost over and above the $21,000 municipal contribution. The decision by douncil to allocate the $21,000 was not unanimous. Ward 3 councillor Don Cochrane and Ward 4 councillor Neil McLaughlin voted in the negative. McLaughlin had earlier suggested that the Township share be limited to $15,000. Chamber of Commerce past President Peter Hvidsten told the council en Monday, the light stan- dards, benches and containers have been ordered. He said the overall project cost may be reduced depending on how much is needed to install the standards in the sidewalk on Queen Street.
