However, the Usborne petitioners say they have little need to call these areas, A group of Usborne rate- payers plans to circulate a petition in the township to se- cure toll-free telephone ser- vice from the Kirkton exchange to Exeter. Robert Mayer and William Lamport, both of RR 1 Kirkton, plan to present the petition to the commission meeting of Blanshard Municipal Telephone System next week. Mr. Mayer said some 100 subscribers of the system would be affected, indicating all of them have a closer connection to Exeter than to the other toll- free areas provided by the Bien- shard system. The spokesman indicated that the petition would be presented to the Ontario Telephone Com- mission if it is not accepted by the Blanshard officials. "Almost all of us do most of our business in Exeter," said HS girls lose to champions ISSIMii?.7.11VRITEM;rognamtiom CAA-ND BEND Grand Bend council has re, queeted its engineers Graham Reid and Associates, Toronto, to proceed immediately in pre, paring necessary data fpr in- Stalling water mains and later- als under Highway 21 through- out the length of. Grand Bend. This Is the first concrete step toward obtaining a muni- cipal water system for the re- sort. To date the village has spent about $13,000 in engineering fees to produae plans for a dis- tribetion system, and tp dis- cover a source of water supply. Reid advises obtaining water through a system of horizontal screens installed on the lake shore about 5,000 feet south of the village limits. This is a Similar plan to one suggested by Reid several years ago when he did the first water system surveys for the village. Due to the high costs of this system and of an alternate plan for a lake intake, the village has investigated a supposedly more economical system ad- vanced by Grant Stirrat, Bright's Grove, which Is de- scribed by some as a"glorified sandpoint", and involves pro- curement via a series of per- forated pipes buried below the bottom of the lake. At Monday night's council meeting, no councillor was par- ticularly enthusiastic for the Stirrat system. Councillor Ian Coles stated that he had been disappointed with Mr. Stirrat and his group, "I'm interested to know when Stirrat will come to us with a report on their findings. I feel that the Ontario Water Resources Commission will be co-operative with us," said Coles, "but we must have facts." Reeve Stewart Webb said that he was disappointed in Mr. Stirrat, too. Councillor Orval Wassmann reported that he had asked Mr. Stirrat to provide blueprints, offer a guarantee and estimate costs for the proposed system. The urgency in getting mains laid under Highway 21 at this time, is due to the schedule that the Ontario Department of Highways has laid down for re- surfacing the 4-lane stretch of new roadbed throughout the vil- lage.

He is con- sidering the idea but wanted to know if the village would be bidding on it, and if they bought it whether he would be able to operate it for the village. Another question posed by pi- lot Kernohan was whether, if he bought the airport, the village would be prepared to subsidize the operation with a grant.
