Charges Township With "Blackmail" In Regard To Beach Entrance to construct this road at our own expense, to your specific- ations, and under supervision of your road superintendent or en- gineer. Our only stipulation is that this road, when finished is to be clearly marked as a public access to the beach. We would appreciate being able to start as soon as possible. "The present situation, where we must apparently join the Bluewater Beach Cottagers As- sociation, before using a public road, simply boils down to Township-tolerated blackmail, With the entire County agitat- ing for more parks and public accesses to the beach, we are at a loss to understand Reeve Forbes' attitude to this long- existing disgrace." in On effort te. :set Up more stringent 'controls. OP- Lakefront Subdivisions, Stanley TPWASWP council. decided Monday to re- quest a meeting with .an official Of the Department of Planning and Development :to discuss the Concern was expressed by several councillors over the fact not all subdivisions in the town- ship were in approved plans and this was .making it difficult ,to control. While many subdividers have registered. plans, other owners have been merely selling per- tions of their land as part of the original lot, This has. made it difficult to, know exactly what land belongs to the various .owners in these areas, If recommended by the dep- artment, it is possible the coun- cil will set up a, bylaw to desig- nate an area of subdivision con- trol within the municipality, Although clerk Mel Graham noted they were perhaps 10 years 'late in taking action on the situation, reeve Ernie Tal- bot stated it was better than being 20 years late, "We're not interested in the past," councillor Arisen IYIeKin- ley added, "we can only think Of the present and the future." Council set a tentative date of April 17 to meet with a dep-: artment official to have the situation explained to them. The department wrote coun- cil in regard to two subdivisions that had been started earlier, and noted that if word was not received regarding them in the very near future they would close the files on them. Accept Tenders During the meeting, council opened tenders for the supply of calcium chloride and also for crushing and hauling ap- proximately 14,000 cubic yards of gravel for the township roads. The tender of Pollard Bros, was accepted for the calcium at a cost of $42 per flake ton equivalent. It was the lowest of two bids submitted. A Goderich firm, Sandy con- struction, was awarded the gravel tender at a price of 69 cents per cubic yard. One of four bids submitted, ,it was actually the second low- est, but was accepted due to the fact the lowest bidder could not start the work until July 1, much later than what coun- cil had, asked. Elgin Thompson, reeve of Tuckersmith, met with council to discuss the erection of an ad- ditional street light at the south end of Brucefield. Thompson stated the addi- tional. light and pole would cost $200 -With . a $12.50 annual rate. The Tuckersmith reeve said his council would possibly share the cost with Stanley and the property owner who had re- quested the light, but felt the cost was too high to pay it alone. No final decision was. made on the request. A Stanley ratepayer, Stan Jackson, met With council to question them on what they planned to do. with a road that had been closed off beside his farm. The road was altered and Jackson told council he wanted to purchase the old portion or at least know that they would not do anything with it that would cause him to lose control of it. T-Te ,e4Piained that he .110 to use it to get to various fields PA his, germ, but also stated that other people used it to. park and drink,. He said the broken bottles created a hazard for his trac- tor and hoped he would be able to put up a gate to .close it off to the public, Council promised they would look at the situation when they make their 'erinual tour of the roads on Wednesday, April 10, Dogs Dili Asirds• Another ratepayer; Don Campbell, Met with cquncil, re- porting dogs had ldlled seven pheasants be had been raising on his property and requested remuneration for his losses. He said it would' cost $5 .each to replace the birds, two roost- ers and five hens, at this time of year, Council was unable to deter: mine if pheasants came under the ordinary statutes and re- quested the clerk to find out if it would be proper to authorize payment. In other business, council: Learned that plans for their two proposed bridges had not been completed as yet. Authorized road superintend- ent, William Taylor, to attend the .annual school for road superintendents to be held in Toronto on May 13 and 14. Received a letter of thanks for their $25' donation to the.

Took no action on a request from the Goderich office of the National Employment Service asking that area councils stipu- late in all contracts that local men be hired when possible. Accepted the report on the Black Creek drain and were in- formed it involved only one township resident, Orlon Rei- chert, who had an assessment of $175 on the $7,500 project.
