Council agreed to accept the bid for three Ford LN 7000 series diesel trucks at a total cost of $66,986, and one Dogs blamed for many deer deaths Known winter deer mor- tality in the Lindsay District, during January, February and March of this year increased 30 per cent over 'the same months of 1978. This increase is largely attributable to dogs, - par- ticularly to incidents associated with dog activity in deer concentration areas. Daily complaints of dogs running deer have been received at the Lindsay District office for the last three months. Out of 33 known deer mortalities since January 1, caused by dogs.

Members of council agreed that 'while it is unusual to receive just one bid for the purchase of new equipment, the tender was in order as there was no way the bidder could have known that other dealers were not able to bid on the trucks, and the price quoted was within the figure ear-marked in the Roads department budget. Council also felt that not buying the trucks at this time could end up costing theTownship money as there may be manufacturers price increases coming over the next few months. Delivery time for the four diesel trucks from Ford it four month, and they will be used for sanding and snow plowing next winter.
