Councillor Ian Coles reported that the group in London which was cell- side ring the project of installing a System in Grand Bend, have not yet prepared a plan for it. So far, work done by the On- tario Water Resources Com- mission toward engineer sur- veys, etc. for a village water system, have cost $13,361.43. This amount has riot yet been paid to the OWRC. A letter presented at the Monday night Council meeting from the OWRC asked for payment--with the understanding that when a sys- tem was laid out in the village, that this would make up part of the total cost. NEW POST OFFICE Word from the federal De- partment of Public Works indi- cates that plans are practically Assessor Harry Strang re- ported to council. Monday night a net gain of $13,300 in asses- sment for 1964. Total value is $2,768,050. Population, however, re- mains unchanged. It stands at 1,520. Council certified the asses- sot's roll, clerk Strang also presented a summary of the 1963 tax col- lectors roll showing a total of $145,446.20 to be collected. After hearing complaints of ratepayers on the outskirts of Exeter that their drainage out- lets had been cut off by con- struction on No. 4 highway, council agreed that if arrange- ments could not be made with the engineers in charge of the highway work to correct the da- mage that drainage engineer J. A. Howels, Listowel, be in- structed to look into the matter. Council learned that L. H. Turnbull and Son, Grand Bend, have completed the open work on the Hicks drain and the repair work on the maver, Stew- art and Dunn drains. Council also was advised that the memorial cairn at Bethesda cemetery is nearing comple- tion, Township nomination meet- ing will be held November 25 and the eleetion, if necessary, on Peeerriber 2.

Boyle Pointed out that some- times such matters go to court by consent of both parties In order tp get clarification. WRONG PROCEDURE, Council learned it has pre- scribed an erroneous Procedure in connection With the applica, tion of Don MacGregpr, Wil- liam St., to build an extension to his welding shop which is in a residential zone. The planning act originally was interpreted as requiring a hearing by town eoupcil op the application, and that hearing was expected to be held Monday night. It was postponed, how- ever, when MacGregor could not attend. Clerk C. V. Pickard reported he had been advised by the muni- cipal board that MacGregor must apply to council for an amendment to the bylaw toper- mit his extension. If council agreed to the amendment, adjacent property owners would have to be noti,- fled and a hearing held by the OMB here, a procedure similar to the adoption of the bylaw it- self. If council refuses the amend- ment, MacGregor will have the right to appeal the ruling to the municipal board. As a result, MacGregor now will be advised that he must make application for the amend- ment and council must reach a decision before any hearing can be requested. Wooden, who indicated he originally had misinterpreted the bylaw, said he felt council still might hear MacGregor's case now that steps had been taken, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it". The clerk pointed out the application for amendment would be the procedure in each individual request for an ex- tension to any existing building or structure whose use does not conform to the zone in which it is located. Boyle: "I wouldn't be in favor of amending the bylaw for one man". Delbridge: "Does that mean we would have to change the by- law for Norval Jones, too?" The answer was affirmative. (Jones' application for the erec- tion of a three-bay garage for his trucking equipment at his residence was turned down by council at last meeting.) .--Continued from Front Page board, Wooden said lie had re- ceived two opinions in regard to the word "use" as it would apply in this case. The head of the Planning board section in the department of municipal effairs, Tpronto, ap- parently admitted it was "a$64 queetioe" and that there had been no legal precedent to give a clear cut decision as to wheth- er use meant active operation or the purpose for which the building stood, even if,it was not being pperated. He personally felt, however, that there would be a distinction between storage of turnips and of mewls, since the forther is considered more obnoxious. Wooden reported that a Lon- don authority felt no distinction could be made between onions and turnip storage, since they would both be eonsidered vege- table storage. He felt ""use" of a building meant the purpose for which it stood, whether or not it was being actively opera- ted. "Obviously", said Wooden, "it's up to council to decide. We are free to make a decision one way or another. If there is an appeal the court would have to interpret the meaning." He continued: "I'm very strongly opposed to the storage of turnips in that area. This definitely would constitute a change of use. We all know that storage of turnips would lead to obnoxious use." Delbridge again protested and another member suggested council wait until it receives a complaint from householders in the area. Boyle: "We're certainly going to hear about it sooner or later." He moved that the PUC cut off services but his motion was not supported. Since council had no official information in regard to the use which would be made of the building, the mayor suggested Wooden and Bailey be delegated to talk to the new owner. There was a further suggestion that the question be left until the next meeting. But Bailey changed that: "I think we should take a stand tonight. We have the bylaw and we should stick to it." Delbridge: "The bylaw isn't against onions and as far asI'm concerned there isn't any dif- ference between potatoes, on- By MRS.

Dow and his lawyer, Elmer D. Bell, QC, presented plans for the new subdivisionto coun- cil Monday night. It contains nearly 100 lots and is north and east of the present Dow subdivision. Bell related to council his client's offer to provide river flats property as an alternative to setting aside the 5% portion of the subdivision required for recreational purposes. Council generally favored the extension of the park rather than an isolated recreation area in the subdivision. Mayor Sim- mons noted a recent gov't pub- lication urging smaller com- munities to consolidate their parks, rather than spread them all over the town. Council will view the land which Mr. Dow has offered to deed to the town. completed for the new federal building in Grand Bend, which will heuse the pgst office, The letter stated that they expect to call tenders sometime in. No- vember, ZONING BYLAW The zoning bylaw came in for criticism by Colin and William Love and William Sturdevant. They were querying the wisdom of issuing a building permit for a small cabin, moved by Reeve Stewart Webb from the Green Valley Trailer Camp, where he bought it, to his lot on the River Road, which is zoned as resi- dential area. William Love wanted to know why the building permit had been issued. Clerk Murray A. Des- Jardins stated that it was issued because the building on that particular lot did not contravene the zoning or building code. William Sturdevant asked if the "uses of a building are not established when a building per- mit is requested," He said that if the cabin is to be used as a residence, then he and the other men apologized for coming to council with a complaint. Reeve Webb was a bit crusty with the questioners. He said, "It's none of your business what I plan to do with the building, until I break the law." Sturdevant , who was last . year's reeve of Grand Bend, asked, You mean that a man gets a permit for a building, and then another one to open it and start using it?" Mr. Love wondered if a man were to build a slaughter house, he would be given a permit to build it, and then when he wanted to use it for that what would happen. Reeve Webb, "When he began slaughtering, and it went against the zoning bylaw, then we'd stop him right there." Colin Love commented that it was "not much of a bylaw." Hallowe'en quiet here Buy radar for police GRAND BEND Grand Bend village council heard from sanitary Inspector William Rendle Monday night that 17 property holders on the east side of No, 21 had been advised by 1 et te r, delivered personally by him, that they had two weeks in which to comply with the regulations concerning disposal of sewage. This area of the village has been guilty of helping to conta- minate the waters of the Ausable River by draining sanitary se- wers into the old storm drain Which did drain the highway north of the main corner. When new storm drain was laid by the Ontario Department of Highways in connection with the highway-widening project, the old drain was cut in several places. Discovery of the raw sewage going into the old drain was made at that time. Residences and businesses with cellar drains were tapped into the new drain. However, those residences and business places who were draining wash water and sewage into the storm drain have now been asked to make other ar- rangements. The storm drain leads into the Walker Drain, an open drain leading past the Legion Hall, and into the Ausa- ble just east of the big bridge. Mr. Rendle was questioned by Councillor Emerson DesJar- dine with regard to the action taken to cut off the drain of one property, that of the Brewers Warehouse, where only clear water was being channeled into the old drain. "Are you going to penalize all of the property- holders, because some of them are doing wrong?" Mr. Rendle stated that since the old drain had been carrying raw sewage, the whole thing had to be stopped. Council considered the idea of advising all villagers that they must not discharge raw sewage and wash water, into the drains and into the river, but did not make the decision to act on any more than the initial 1'7 pro- perties at the present time. A deadline of two weeks was given. If no action is taken by that time, the problem will be relayed to the Ontario Water Resources Commission for ac- tion. WATER SUPPLY No further action has been taken with regard to the supply of water for the village on a HIGHWAY PAVED? Road Sup't Jim Paisley told council Monday night the dep't of highways expects to have at least a rough layer of asphalt over No. 4 highway before win- ter sets in. The sup't said a department official was pleased with the progress of work on the new highway at the south of town. At the suggestion of Deputy- Reeve Bailey, council will urge Except for the throwing of cabbages, which broke two win- dows, and the hauling of ob- stacles onto Main St., which caused two minor accidents, Hallowe'en in town ',went pretty well", according to Chief C. H. MacKenzie. "We had two radio cars and six men on duty which kept things pretty well under con- trol", he reported. One thrown cabbage went through the windshield of a car driven by Ron Sweitzer, RR 2 Dashwood, who was driving on Main St. Another broke a window in the public library. A car driven by Wayne Glan- ville, RR 1 Exeter, suffered slight damage when it struck an old washing machine on Main St. near the John St. intersec- tion. Another car broke the tongue of a wagon owned by Louis Day, Andrew St. The wagon had been hauled onto Main St. by prank- sters. The PUC reported something of a record for Hallowe'en. Only one light was broken dur- ing the night and it was an ordinary incandescent light, not one of the newer fluorescent tubes. The radio-equipped taxi owned by Len Harvey patrolled the town along with the police cruiser which also has radio. TENDERS WANTED By MRS.

He said most town residents had been tolerant of the problems involving in rip- ping up roads and boulevards for installations. Council also: Learned that a meeting will be held between the Ausable Authority and the swimming pool committee to prepare a long-term lease for use of pro- perty at Riverview Park for the pool site: Granted building permits to Ed.

Council Monday night approv- ed purchase of radar for the town police department. Police Chairman Ross Taylor who recommended the pur- chase, said the equipment will cost around $1,100. The unit proposed can be operated by one man, will accurately deter- mine speed of a car 600 feet away in either direction. "I was against it last year," admitted Taylor, "but after watching traffic on two occa- sions from in front of Le Pines Motel I'm very much convinced it's needed". It's sneaky", dissented De- puty-Reeve Bailey, a member of the police committee who op- posed the recommendation both in committee and in council. His was the only opposing vote. "Motorists definitely will be told we have radar," explained Taylor, "Signs will be posted at all entrances to the town. If drivers are caught it will be their own fault." Wooden: "I take great plea- sure in moving the adoption of the committee's report. It's high time we had radar."
