He offered to pay all costs of advertising which will be neces- sary to arrange the legal moves to close one existing laneway, and open another to give access to the homes in Gibbs Park. Don Reid, a London lawyer presented the case for the rink, noting that it would be pro- viding one more recreation fa- cility for the village. He said that the rink would not be ready this year. Some discussion centered a- round the most westerly en- tranceway to Gibbs Park, which is in the vicinity of the new lane which will be ope ne d. Though Reeve Stewart Webb felt he could remember when this entrance was open and in use, Charles Grebb, Kitchener, re- ported that his father never had opened that lane. The way had been built, gate- posts erected, iron gates in- stalled. Then the senior Mr. Greb had been in consultation with the senior Mr. Gibbs, and they both decided against open- GRAND BEND Council received a request at Monday night's council:I:pet- ing for settlement of Mg owing to the Hay Municipal .TelePhOne System for the year 1954, Beg Plaok, treasurer of :tile system,. made the request, Mr. Plack reported that .dur- Ing that year the village was responsible for collecting the telephone accounts on the tax roll, Snice dial phones have been installed, that plan for oolleo, Hons has been discontinued. Under the telephone act, ac- coreing to Black, a municipality if requested to do so by the system, cannot refuse to collect accounts owing. The Grand Bend clerk does not interpret the act in this way. Hlack pointed out that neither he, nor the directors of the systein wished that Grand Bend ehopld pay something they did not owe. However, in the light of information now avail- able to the System, this is a debt by the village. Since the year 1954, manage- ment of the system .and, the en- tire council of the village have been replaced, Also there is different clerk, and a different treasurer for the system. Council authorized Mr, Black to work with the clerk with free access to the books ..of the vil- lage, to determine the facts relative to the situation. TOWN HALL ADDITION Village council received word through Clerk M. A. DesJardins that total cost of constructing the addition to the town hall, which houses an extra cell and washroom facilities for the po- lice department is $842,43, The addition was made in July of this year. Harvey Dafore inquired of council the steps he must take to obtain building permits for a proposed new gas station, restaurant and store which he plans for his property just south of the Green Forest Motor Hotel on Highway 21. Mr. Greb questioned what the reeve said about the roads be- longing to Gibbs. "I have a letter from Elmer Bell, QC, Exeter, dated five years ago, stating that the roads are pub- lic property because they are on the plan." "Well, I've been told to get off them," reported Councillor Wassmann. "A year ago this summer my wife and I were walking down a lane in the park ing this lane. They purchased a lock, locked the gates, and together they went to the river and threw the key in, Councillors Emmerson Des- jardine and Orval Wassmann both questioned the width of the road as proposed. Their ques- tion was whether a minimum width would need to be adhered to, Lawyer Reid, and Jack Gray, also of London, both felt that the proposed width of 30 feet would likely be approved, since they were exchanging the pre- sent 20 foot wide laneway for a wider one. Mr. Gray is of the firm of Archibald, Gray and McKay, Ontario Land Surveyors, Lon- don. Reeve Webb expressed his opinion that the village was not implicated in the matter of the roads at all. "They're Gibbs roads," he said. "The village does no work on them." (Ac- tually the village does plow the laneways in Gibbs Park during the winter to provide access in case of lire, but does not as- sume liability for the lanes, because of this.) past Laughton's cottage to the' pier, and one of the Gibbs asked me where we were going. He said, "Can't you read the signs? This is a private lane." Jack Gray pointed out that the Gibbs may own the lanes in the park, but that by virtue of showing people a registered plan and selling them a lot, the Gibbs had given away some rights to the roads (or lanes). Gray's opinion was that before the village could do anything about the situation for Mr. Mc- Innes they would have to accept the lanes as they now are. Then they could approve changes in the location of them. Councillor Ian Coles pointed out that the deal looked good. Definitely the taxes (estimated at $4,000 per year) looked good. Members of the village road committee will meet With the village solicitor in this matter Jail one youth over car theft One youth was given a re- formatory term and two others received suspended sentences in Sarnia court last week after the trio was convicted of steal- ing a 1963 car owned by Eric Mcllroy, Grand Bend.
