Out of
the weeds

L’O RIGNAL
Noxious weeds are forcing the
Prescott-Russell roads department to
spray rather than cut unwanted roadside
vegetation.
Some department employees have
developed allegoric reactions to weeds
such as wild parsnip and giant hogweed,
public works department head Marc
Clermont recently told a committee.
Tenders are to be called on the spraying
program to be carried out for a total of 46
kilometres.
County officials are talking with
environment ministry representatives to
ensure the measures meet provincial
norms.
Contracts
The counties have awarded some large
road maintenance contracts.
A “hot mix” paving contract has been
awarded to Coco Paving for $1,971,978,
the lowest of four tenders received on the
job.
Miller Paving’s bid of $232,820 was the
lowest of four submitted on a “cold in-
place recycling” job.
Western Signs &Line Painting has been
awarded a $190,341 line-painting
contract. This sum includes work in
Hawkesbury, East Hawkesbury and The
Nation.
County slams SPCA
The united counties council of Prescott-
Russell has supported the Ontario
TRANQUILLITÉ D’ESPRIT en vente du 1 er au 21 juin
Federation of Agriculture’s ongoing
campaign against the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Council has endorsed an agricultural
advisor y committee recommendation to
back the Prescott and Russell OFA
branches’ condemnation of the SPCA. The
farm groups charge that the SPCA has
unfettered authority when it comes to
entering farms where animal abuse is
suspected.
