ZONING APPEAL --Continued from page 1 Carscadden pointed out tha "those buildings are just going to sit there and become eye- sores. I'm certainly not going to do much to mine." Boyle: "Could it be made into a duplex?" Carscadden: "Yes but not by me." Mayor Simmons, who indi- cated sympathy for the request, asked for the opinions of other councillors but none was volun- teered. Reeve Fisher suggested council should hear the planning board's arguments. The assessor, asked about his representation at the municipal board hearing, said he "didn't realize what it was all about or I would have had a lawyer there". Both he and Roes Dobson, who purchased the onion shed, appealed to the board against the residential restrictions on the property but the board upheld the zoning bylaw. A property owner across the street, J. M. Gibson, also appeared before the board urging that the area remain residential to prevent operations detrimental to his property. Councillor Wright said them assessment regulations ap- peared sound. "It wouldn't make sense to tell a manhis property is useless and then charge him taxes on it."

"We were quite pleased with the reception," said Charles V. Barret, manager of the branch.

Later, Boyle voiced two more complaints. He felt the traffic bylaw permits parking too close to intersections on Main St., causing a hazard to motorists. He also complained that two houses on Huron St. east had been constructed too close to- gether. The new zoning bylaw, he was told, will prevent this in future. Council also; Told builder Larry Taylor that it would be possible for him to connect from a lot or: Main St. to the William St. sewer if he could secure an easement to the street; Approved the employment of Irwin Ford for operation of the sprinkling disposal system at the canning plant and author- ized purchase of more laterals at a cost of $1,450.

ON FRIDAY, FRIDAY, JUNE 21 GRAND BEND --Continued from page 1 ing shooting in the village, per- mission was not given.

Word from the Ontario Liquor Licensing Board is that the vil- lage's share of the license fees for 1963 will be $1,086.00. Council will hand over to the solicitors, Bell and Laughton, Exeter, the problem of obtain- ing payment of an insurance claim on the large sign which was damaged this spring. Co- operators Insurance Associa- tion has refused payment of the claim, except on their terms of $150 cash. Original estimate of the cost of repair was $455, the lowest of two estimates obtained by council. When CIA offered a cash settlement of $150, council suggested that, since the sign might have to come down any- way when the highway was widened down main street, they would accept $355.
