THE RIVER ROAD
Portion of Road Will be Inundated When New Canal is Built
[People’s Press, 25 February 1919]
Although the matter of the city lending assistance to the county to a material extent regarding the construction of the River Road leading West from the city into Wainfleet, was referred at the last council meeting to a committee for investigation and further report, Mayor Brennan informs the Tribune that the proposed scheme was not favorably discussed by the members of the council. It was proposed that some $10,000 be spent on the construction of the road, but as the two or three miles of this road nearest the town will be inundated with six feet of water when the new canal is built, it is not considered by members of the council that it would be good business to spend any city money upon the road at this juncture.
Through a misapprehension it was stated in the TRIBUNE that the price to be paid for the fire hall site on the north-east corner of Hellems Avenue, and Division was to be $12,000. The cost of the property is only $8,000. The site comprises 100 feet on Division street, and 132 feet on Hellems Avenue.
