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.

List 52 Students In Over 80 Club, Many Repeat From First Terms someone was hurt while using theme. 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., PUC Will Improve Water Service, Fill Out Questionnaire For Council Took no action on the par- chase of a back-hoe after learn- ing that surrounding towns of similar Size did not have such a machine, Rands Stated that he was receiving extremely fine co-operation from the two local contracting firms in rent- ing their equipment when it was needed' by the PUC.
