The report, submitted to council at the regular meet- ing of October 10, was writ- ten by the Township's con- sulting engineer R.E. Sims following an inspection of 'Queen Street, October 2 and meetings with Scugog Roads superintendent Ron Mac- Donald, and Rob Dawson, an engineer with the provincial transportation ministry. Mr. Sims' report says that because of a variety of poor conditions such as high street crown line, a limited storm drainage system, cracking in the concrete, and deteriorating curbs, a re- surfacing of the street "would be uneconomical and. only give the appearance of an improved street during the first year." The report suggests that the earliest possible date for starting the reconstruction of the street would be in 1980, with detailed planning car- ried out in 1979. Whether the reconstruc- tion would be done under a single contract or in stages would depend on several things such as available funds, the co-ordination of regional services (sewer and water) and avoiding a con- struction conflict during the tourist season of July and August. During discussion on the report, Mr. MacDonald told members of council that the estimated cost of the recon- struction of Queen from Lilla to Water Streets would be a minimum of $450,000, with Scugog's share amounting to something in the neighbour- hood of $200,000, and the remainder covered by pro- vincial subsidies. Council tabled the report until at least the next meet-, ing scheduled for October 23, Vandals damage farm Police estimate that damage could run as high as $1500 after two tractors and a corn harvestor were vandal- ized at a Scugog Island farm late Saturday night.
