Cemetery Dry'
The PUG received a letter
that had originally been pre,
sentecl to both the Clinton
Cemetery Board and town
council from the Clinton Citi-
zene Horticultural society,
The Society pointed out the
scarcity "end at times am,
plete lack of water" at the
cemetery and added that thiS
was causing many plants on the
grounds to dry Up and many
people Who toOk flowers to the
cemetery Were disappointed to
find no Water available.
'M a ny ratepayer§ feel
Goclerich Township council,
meeting Monday, decided to ap-
ply calcium on the road leading
into Bluewater Beach to cut
the heavy dust problem, and al-
so promised the residents of
the subdivision they would
study plans to provide them
with access to an adjoining
beach area. '
Harry Allen and Mr. Hug-
gins, residents of the area, ap-
peared before council request-
ing " aid in giving the owners
access to nearby Black's Point,
due to the fact that the Blue-
water Beach area is unsuitable
for swimming.
The gentlemen reported that
an algae in the water was
creating green moss and while
the residents had spent consid-
erable money in attempting to
clear the slime, it had been of
little avail.
Huggins stated they had sp-
ent $380 this year but the area
"looks like a meadow" with
the green algae clinging to the
rocks.
The two men said that unless
beach facilities could be found,
property values would drop
drastically and this would also
be harmful to the economy of
the township.
They requested that a park-
ing lot be furnished at Black's
Point and steps be built to the
beach area.
Council promised they would
look into the situation.
The request for a solution to
the dust problem was written
to council by the secretary of
the Bluewater Beach Associa-
tion and followed a delegation
at last month's meeting,
Roy Tyndall, road superinten-
dent, was authorized to apply
calcium to the road to keep the
dust down.
Problems With Steps
Council also 'received a let-
ter from J. C. Hindmarsh, stat-
ing he was seeking permission
to build steps to the beach in
the area of Bluewater Beach.
He noted that the steps would
be open to the public.
Reeve Walter Forbes report-
ed that Hindmarsh had admit-
ted to him that he had been
responsible for shoving some of
the existing steps built by the
Bluewater Beach Assop. down
the side of the bank, because
they had been built on the road
allowance.
Deputy-reeve Grant Stirling
stated that Hindmarsh "had no
damn business to move them"-,
noting that even if they had
been extending onto the road
allowance he had no authority
to move them without council's
permission.
Forbes explained that the
residents of the Bluewater
Beach did not mind people us-
ing the steps, and had put a
sign on them stating they were
private property in an effort
to protect themselves in case
strongly on the subject," the
letter stated, "'so kindly give
the matter your attention."
The Commissioners requested
Rands to answer the letter and
to point out that the PUC
could do nothing unless the
Cemetery Board wanted to pay
for increasing the- main to the
property. This they would have
to pay for themselves,
"There's nothing we can do."
Chairmari Perdue noted,
Ire other business, the PUC:
Learned that Rands had de-
cided to purchase the tamping
machine for fixing up recently
dug drains and found that he
Wee "quite satisfied" With the
Machine after initial problems
with it had been straightened
out,
Authorized a payment of
$3,600 to the town as another
payment on the sewer debut , teeee.
Due to the fact that it was
not known whether the road
leading to the river was a town-
ship road or merely a private
lane, council said they would
have to check this out before
taking any action.
They told Whiteman that if
it was only a private lane, it
could be closed off to traffic,
Will Keep Trailers
Reeve Walter Forbes report-
ed, to council he felt they would
have little opposition in their
bid to retain a two-acre, trailer
camp on the property being
sought for annexation from
Harry Mitchell by Goderich
council.
He said that Goderich May-
or, Ernie Fisher, had stated
that he would be willing to
leave the trailer camp portion
out of the land to be annexed,
as council earlier noted this
would result in lost revenue for
the township,
Councillor Mcllwain added
that Mitchell was also agree-
able to keeping the portion of
land.
The township will also seek
a payment of $785.29 in lieu of
lost school debenture payments
from the property as the other
proposal for a basis of settle-
ment for the annexation of the
land.
Clerk Thompson told council
that an official from the dep-
artment of municipal affairs
had been in • the township
checking the assessment role
to determine its validity in re-
spect to the payment of uncon-
ditional, per capita grants,
He said that while the asses-
sor's figures showed a popula-
tion of 1,983, the official had
come up with a figure of only
1,948 in checking the books and
making spot checks.
Thompson stated that he and
the assessor, Carman Tebbutt,
had spent 2 nights in re-check-
ing their figures and had come
up with an increase of 10 over
their original figures, making
the population 1,993. He noted
that 21 persons were living at
the Mitchell trailer camp and
this may have been one of the
discrepencies,
Open Tenders
The contract for the supply-
ing of 10,000 cubic yards of
gravel for the township roads
was awarded to Levis Contract-
ing Company, Clinton, at a
price of 63 cents per yard.
The price was the same as
that submitted by Sandy Con-
tracting Company, Goderich,
and was two cents lower than
that submitted by George Rad-
ford, Blyth.
Forbes stated it was the first
time he could remember that
two bids had been identical.
Tenders were also opened for
the construction of toilet facili-
ties at the township shed in
Holmesville, but no action was
taken due to the fact no specifi-
cations had been drawn up by
council and the bids were on
different sizes and types of
equipment. •
In other business, council;
Approved tile drainage loans
of $767 for Glen Wise and
$2,000 for Alvin Wise.
Paid a claim of $125 for a
heifer owned by. Clayton Cox,
which had been killed by mar-
auding dogs. The evaltiator, R.
S'owerby, was also paid $6.50
for his time and expense.
Authorized payment of $4,-
529.00 for a debenture to Clin-
ton council for CHSS, that
comes due on July 15.
Approved payment of $400 to
James Howes for his engineer-
ing work on the Wise Municipal
drain.
Learned that the clerk had
applied for a grant of $402.09
on the Warble fly program.

someone was hurt while using

He added that there were a
great many gate posts and even
fences throughout the township
that were built on the road al-
lowances, and noted that it
wouldn't be right for private
citizens to come along and pull
them down.
Forbes stated that the two
cement pillars at the beach had
been shoved down the bank
with a tractor.
Stirling suggested that a let-
ter be sent to Hindmarsh stat-;
ing that it would be in the best
interest not to have steps built
at the present time.
However, councillor Everett
Mcllwain suggested c o u ncil
should contact their insurance
company to see what liability
protection they would have in
regard- to accidents on the
steps Clerk, R. E. Thompson, was
authorized to write Mr. Hind-
marsh instructing him that
council would seek this infor-
mation before approving the
building of any steps.
Terminate Contracts
The clerk was also authoriz-
ed to write five township pro-
perty owners informing them
that unless their hydro arrears
were paid by August 1, the
township would be forced to
terminate their hydro con-
tracts.
The five are: Neil McAdam,
a permanent resident and four
cottage owners, R. B. Hughes
Jr., London; D. P. Murphy,
Northwest Territories; Thomas
Allard, London and W. M.
Brock, Exeter.
After hearing complaints of
drinking and necking sessions
on property near that of Stan
Whiteman, council told the man
they would investigate his sug-
gestion that the area be turned
into a park so activities could
be controlled.
Whiteman, who owns prop-
erty near the river on the out-
skirts of Goderich, said the pol-
ice had given him. wonderful co-
operation in the matter, but
he said the problem still exist-
ed.
He reported that several
campers had been located on
the property over the weekend
and the area was becoming "a
mess" with broken beer bot-
tles and other refuse.
He said that by, building a
park, admissions could be
charged and this would bring
in enough money to maintain
the area and provide picnic and
toilet facilities.
Whiteman suggested the park
could be closed at 10:00 p.m. to
curtail the late evening activi-
ties.
Although part of the land
in the area is owned by Dick
Wurtle, Whiteman reported his
neighbor was in favor of any
steps council would take.,
