permanent lake 50 feet deep with
an additional capacity, for flood

Let $23,760 Award
For dredging At Bend
Contract for dredging the re-
mainder of the harbor at Grand
Bend was let Wednesday by the
Ausable Authority to Stonehouse
Construction Co., Sarnia, for
$2.3,760, • •
The award is subject to final
approval of the Ontario Depart-
ment of Planning and Develop-
ment and the village of Grand
Bend.
The job calls for the dredging
of approximately 20,000 cubic
yards of earth and stone from
the Bluewater bridge . to the por-
tion. of the mouth under federal
responsibility. It will provide a
six-foot channel up the middle
of the river.
The work, which will cost less
than ' some 'officials expected.
will open the harbor at the sum-
mer resort for larger pleasure
craft as well as provide a faster
outlet for flood' waters.
Dredging of the mouth of the
river is already taking place un-

Oscar Klopp,
Oscar Klopp stated that he

formation during his first year

Leonard Greb stated that the
council had had a fairly quiet
year. The council had done their
best to get value for the Money
that was spent, The picture for
the future was not rosy. because
everything they had.,to buy was
up while the returns to the ferni-
er were about the same. There
had been some - criticism about
the roads and he felt it was jus-
tified; Two bridges had , been
built but .more were needed.

doing a good job. Ile thought the

Still plagued by the wide-
spread apathy in municipal elec-
tions, Hensall has been forced to
call another nomination to fill
its municipal offices.
Even though veteran councilor
Lorne Luker was persuaded to
serve another term after an-
nouncing his intention to retire,
there still aren't enough candi-
dates to fill the seats.,
The village needs one more
councillor to replace .Jim Sang-
ster, who stepped out because
he expects to move away. - .
Second nomination will be held
Monday, December 9.

yet to be opposed as chief ,mag-
istrate, was acclaimed to his

Concerned over the lack of in-

pointed out that ,the administra-

handling of a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars each year. "This is
