Some books were strewn around in Room 18 and glass broken in several display cabinets but nothing was reported as missing. Chief C. H. MacKenzie was the investigating officer.

The move wav'suggeste'd by -• Cudmore, who pointed out there, was• some complaint that the nomination was held when stores were open and businessmen were unable to attend. Reeve Derry Boyle said the change would end all the excuses for not attending the meeting. Council also asked Clerk Eric Carscadden to prepare the necessary bylaw to stage an advance poll on the Saturday preceding , the Monday, December 2 election. Local voters could end up with a handful of ballots. If there is a vote for all positions of council, along with public and separate school board members, and the ballot for reduced council, that would make a total of seven ballots. Some members doubted the need for an advance poll, but Councillor Wooden said council should probably do everything in their power to encourage participation in municipal elections. There were complaints from some residents last year that they were unable to vote because they were out of town on the Monday.

It does seem that families enjoyed the hospitality of Grand Benders because Reeve Wassmann advised that an unusually high number of visitors to the resort had booked cottages and rooms for next summer's season. The quiet atmosphere was maintained throughout the Labor Day weekend too, with police detaining only 33 persons out of the throngs who lined the streets. Some excitement was raised when a small sailing vessel overturned and firemen were called out twice during the weekend. In the first instance, two Sunday boaters were taken ashore by another sailor and the boat was recovered about 30 minutes later. Slight damage was recorded at each of the two fires, one in a cottage and one at a farm near St. Joseph where a tractor was ablaze.

The drains committee had viewed the situation last week and chairman Don MacGregor advised that most of the septic tanks in the area were draining into the river. He said the committee was of the opinion the town could not afford the work this year, but that it be done next year. Council were advised that such an assurance was required by the county health department before they would grant a permit for a septic tank installation at a new house to be constructed in the area by Earl Campbell,. The health department v. turned doWn his original request ,because of the sanitary problem there now. However, MacGregor said Campbell's lot was an ideal setup for a septic tank and charged that the health inspector had not even looked at the local jeweller's plans before he turned down the septic tank permit. The decision to make the recommendation to instal the sewer next year was passed unanimously and it was indicated that most residents in the area were anxious to . have the service. In other drains matters: Council agreed to have 640 feet of the open ditch on Edward St., south of Huron, outfitted with a drainage pipe and covered over with fill from the Main St. excavation work. Cost of the work is expected to be $2,000 with a sizeable portion of that to be covered by Council recommend sewers for next year HOTSON PROPANE ENJOY THE COMFORTS OF GAS 238-2.005 Grand Bend Serving all South Huron a department of highways grant. It was also decided to clean up the "mess" left in a field owned by Gib Dow after the construction of the Pryde Boulevard storm sewer. MacGregor noted the matter had been brought up several times and suggested the area be put back into shape. "If it isn't settled tonight," Councillor Ross Dobson stated, "I understand there will be a lawyer here at the next meeting. A local contractor will be asked to have the stones removed and the area levelled and covered with top soil. Councillor Ross Taylor urged council to make sure such situations do not arise again. "When we let a contract we should be certain the area has been cleaned up properly before final payment is made," he stated. e nth.* ti WNW.. •
