Two drain petitions for King St., Granton, and for the exten- sion of the Scott municipal drain on Lot 20, Concession 2, Bid- dulph, were given to Charles Corbett, for investigation and two more on lots 30 and 31 on high- way 23 were given to A. M. Spriet. The biggest item of business at the meeting was a discussion on the proposed Ausable dam. The Biddulph Council is par- ticularly in favor of the dam, as it would eliminate the neces- sity of erecting, a new bridge. A month ago the Biddulph coun- cil agreed to pay 7 1/2% of the cost of a survey, if the Lucan council paid a similar amount. The re- mainder of the cost would come from 75% from senior govern- ment subsidies and 10% from the Ausable Authority. When Lucan council objected, it was suggested Biddulph pay 10 and Lucan 5%, making Bid- dulph's share $1300 and Lucan's $650. A report on the Kennedy— Byron drain, which extends into London and West Nissouri town- ships, was approved. The cost is estimated at $14,000 with London Township owners assessed for $9,300.

A few final plans were made for the Centennial Maypole Tea. Morning and afternoon workers, were chosen for the an- nual coat hanger drive Saturday, May 13. The girls were asked to try and think of something original for favors for the mother and daughter banquet, June 16.

A dance followed the dinner. For a honeymoon trip to Sud- bury and points north, the bride changed to a blue and white checked wool suit, white hat, navy accessories and pink rose corsage. The couple will make their home at Arris. The widening of William St. Lucan necessitated the removal of a village landmark, the century old Western Hotel. The height of the two-storey building to move would require much hydro wire cutting so it faced demolition. An anonymous party sent $20 to the Free Press, hoping others would do likewise to preserve this historic landmark. The Lon- don and Middlesex HistoricalSo- ciety as well as the village of Lucan became interested, but all attempts to keep the building in Lucan, failed. Finally the former purchased the building for $1 and turned it over to the Strathroy Kiwanis Club, to be restored as a centennial project. The building was built in 1865 and was operated from 1903- 1906 by two members of the Don- nelly family. One condition of the transfer is that the building be moved by the end of May. Lou McGuire, Kiwanis president, said the club will restore it, and operate it as a tourist attraction. The cost of moving will be about $1,000. If necessary, the building will be dismantled, and each piece numbered for reconstruction. Because of prohibition, the ho- tel closed during World War I, and was vacant for some years. Since 1939 it has been used for storage, by Scott Elevators Ltd. The interior will require much expense and labor to restore it to its former condition. Lucan Personal Items
