The cattle are owned by the Kotzeff family, who operate a 150 acre farm on both sides of the concession road. According to the solicitor for the Kot- zeffs, the herd must have "free passage"' from one part of the farm to the other. For 20 years, the Kotzeff cattle have crossed on the road allowance below the existing bridge. Although the solicitor David Wilcox, right, 28 year's service recently celebrated his acknowledged the structure is in need of repair, he warns that the cattle will not be able to pass through the planned pipe under the new bridge. "They simply will not do so," he states. The pipe would be 20 feet in diameter and 160 feet long Township engineers acknowledge, "This is a difficult point to refute", but point out that the: alternative retaining walls would "be prohibitively ex- pensive...adding $111,000 to the cost of the project."' Objections The Kotzeffs have many objections to the September retirement from Dominion Consolidated Truck lines, at a dinner banquet in his honour, held in Midland at the Windrifter. He is shown after receiving a watch marking his 28 year's service. Doug Roberts, left, made the presentation on behalf of the company and Teamsters Local 938. The watch face is engraved with the Teamster's crest.

To this, Councillor John Butler responded Wednesday "We'll have to go after the land and then build a new bridge to suit our own pur- poses. It would cost a fortune to build to satisfy the Kotzeffs' esthetics." Although Mr. Kotzeff originally told Tiny engineers he "would not sell even one inch of land' for the new bridge, it appears he is now willing to negotiate with the municipality. As Clerk Guy Maurice concluded, "'The matter is in the hands of our engineers." Negotiations may necessitate the changing of the name of the bridge, however. But tradition being what it is changing local identification of the "Leblanc bridge' may prove even more dif- ficult than persuading 150 head of cattle to pass through 160 feet of culvert.
