council the stouffville hydro com mission and members of the business improvement area board bia will meet nov 9 to discuss a major lighting project for stouffvilles downtown there are two choices says hydro chairman herb peach bury the wires along the 2600 foot business strip or go for decorative lighting only at lesser expense the estimated cost of putting hydro underground is said to be in excess of one million dollars study completed the firm of ronald t gayowsky limited electrical consult ing engineers in mississauga have prepared a report thats now in hydros hands mr peach declined to reveal its content saying members of council and the bia should see it first well hash it out on monday he said chairman peach leans towards decorative lighting only feeling the magnitude of the wireburying project is prohibitive both in cost and inconvenience grant reduced the town had applied for a provincial pride grant that if approved would have been sufficient to do the job however the government donation was considerably less than re quested prompting some second thoughts on the project the expense will be split three ways with hydro the bia and the town each accepting a share mr peach admitted discussions between the parties in volved had been kept under wraps until all facts are in the meeting nov 9 will be held in camera the tribune was told its something that cant be taken lightly the hydro chair man said if the underground project proceeds the 100000 portions from hydro and the bia would be spread over four years the town would pay the rest a new application the municipality he said plans to renew its pride grant application in 1988 but theres no guarantee of approval with respect to decorative fixtures the poles 50 in number would be about 30 feet in height with coachlike lamps mr peach said the effect he claims would be attractive with respect to placing wiring underground the chairman says the job would be put out to tender since it goes beyond what
