Canvass of the town has not been completed yet and no approach has been made to the surrounding town- ship areas. Goman said he hopes the pool, with bathhouse, can be erected for about $25,000.

A motion to ask the PUC to look after the billing for the extra 33 1/3 surcharge on the sewage system was passed as a result from a letter from the commission. The sanitation committee was authorized to purchase 60 pieces of 4" aluminum pipe, 30-feet long with 28 spray noz- zles to increase capacity of the spray disposal system at Can- adian Canners. Councillor Ted Wright sug- gested that no parking signs be taken down in front of the former hotel. The group felt that there was a real problem building up with the bus now stopping on John Street, just east of Main. It was noted that most of the parking space was now taken by the taxi firm and that at present the bus stopped on the road making a great deal of conges- tion. GARBAGE GAME The old garbage pick-up foot- ball was in play between coun- cillor Wright and Jack Del- bridge. "I wonder if you could tell me what day the people on the west side of town should put out their garbage", Mr. Wright quipped, "Well now," said Delbridge, "what day do you think? Do you want me to write you aletter?" Mr. Wright answered in the af- firmative. Mr. Wright also suggested that RAP might consider put- ting picnic tables on the lower bank of the river and a con- necting foot-bridge to the is- land. "It's just a suggestion but it seems to be a natural spot for a few tables", Council granted building per- mits to Russell Tiernan, Anne St., re-roofing; Jean White, Main St, renovating; George Re- thee, a one-storey house on Pryde Boulevard; IVI a.r wo od Prest, a one family dwelling valued at $10,000; W.G.

The reason for the reduction in the claim is because the sign must be relocated in any case, due to the change in highway width. An estimate of cost in taking it down and putting it up was for $50 for each job. Griff Thomas, assessor, re- quested formally a change in assessment on his own pro- perty, which had been asses- sed twice. This will come before the court of revision later in the year. Council has written to Walter Foy, MP, regarding the need for a customs officer at the Grand Bend dock this summer. They proposed the appointment of a local man, and predicted that the job could be done for half the cost of last year, SEWAGE COMPLAINT A second letter from G.N. Ross, London, was read, con- cerning the sewage and water systems problems in the vil- lage. Mr. Ross (reported one of the councillors) is a summer resident, in that he lives in his boat on the river when in Grand Bend. Mr. Ross complained that water seepage in the built-up area of the village was appa- rent, and that odours had ex- isted last summer. He noted that since there was no regula- tion preventing it, boats dis- charged raw sewage into the river, and it was fast becoming a "virus soup". Ile asked if there were not a public health risk here. Council is already preparing a detailed answer to an earlier letter from Mr. Ross, A letter from the Ontario Department Of Highways asked for angle parking in front of the IGA store, and the Colonial hdtel, rather than the eight- Ogle parking which now is in practice. Approval Was given of the invoice amounting to $450. Of this the PUC pays $'75 and the public school pays $75. CORRECTION.

Council agreed the adminis- tration problem in this case would be too difficult, After the motion was made to turn down the request, Gei- ger said: "By doing this we'll probably get down some peo- ple's throats." Corbett: "Yes and if we did in the other way we'd get down other people's throats. We just have to sit here and suffer." CRITICAL OF USBORNE Sever al references were made to the Osborne township situation and the recent approe val by that council of a deben- ture issue for a central school there. Several felt the action was a "raw deal" because the ratepayers had turned down the proposition in a municipal vote last year. LATE SESSION Council met again Wednes- day night to discuss unfinished business from the Monday meeting, which lasted well into Tuesday morning as a result of hearing four separate delega- tions. At about midnight, Roads Sup't Carl Haberer still had not given his report to council and he clearly was unhappy about the situation. "This is no time to start talking about the road work," he told council when they asked him what he wished to report. He indicated there Were a number of important questions to discuss and that they could not be given the at- tention they deserved at that hour. Council agreed to Meet again Wednesday night to complete Unfinished Wetness. The council gee: CotifirMed, by motion, an earlier decision not to construct the proposed culvert on the Bronson Line; Agreed to a eeinprontise rate Of $1.40 alt hour for grader operator Doug ArniStrong, who had requested an increase froni $1.30 to $1.50 since hehadbeen Offered the latter rate byacon- Struction firm in the district; Purchased a coat rack for abOut $86.150 for the Connell chambers; Approved 'a grant Of $4.06 per member for the Zurich -4-11 Cali club which IS Spoil- sOred by the agricultural eo- diety.

CLINTON LIONS CLUB THEATRE NIGHT ee JUNE II iteguier Adtnesside Tiekete Prone Lions Club Metinbers --Continued from page 1 decide it?" Reeve Corbett felt the origi- nal mistake was made when Zurich was allowed to remain in the school area when the village incorporated out of the township. "That's where the trouble comes from. Now it's up to us to solve it". Geiger at first appeared to support the school board's pro- posal, when he pointed out there wouldn't be enough students to support a graded school if Hay tried to have a separate opera- tion from Zurich. LOSE INVESTMENT If Hay eliminated Zurich from the area, he suggested, Zurich would get the present school facilities at relatively small cost. "Are we just going to turn around and say to Zurich, Here's a school,' after the township has put a lot of hard- earned money into it?" He continued: "If a mistake was made--and I'm not saying there was, mind you--I would say it was made when the two rooms were added to Ztirich school. Hay township is paying about two-thirds of the cost of the addition." "I don't see any reason why it can't stay the way it is. Consolidation is coming and every school area that has at- tempted consolidation has had trouble with border ratepa- yers," Geiger later made this point: "We think we're paying more taxes than the people of Zurieh but should remember that Zit- rich is helping to pay for bus transportation for township pu- pils." Councillor Lloyd Hendrick felt from the first that there ehogid be a vote oil the gime- Hoe. He suggested one school board member had indicated it would be a good idea for council "to kick it around a bit" to let the public know what Is going on. Asked Reeve Corbett: "Do you want to ask the school board to bring in a suggestion for anothet site before yOu Make a decision?'' Geiger: "We're considering this site question more than we shoidd, This is for the sehool board 10 decide, not for US," -Harold dernpbell, who was attending the meeting for ano- ther reason,'supported thepro- petal that Children should to to their nearest setioel in theie nearest town or village, "Cut the boundaries," he said, "arid Fleet Show at Dilek TWO COMPLETE SHOWS E AC11 Children Under 12 in Cars Free Mothers guests at Explorer fete The EXplorer s held their /lest mother and daughter banquet in James Street UC on Thursday, With Mrs. Harold Snell, London, as guest speaker.
