Ma.nore:Matine .rittims. title to disputed leased land Rec group wants to ake over docks, swim on the property. Grand Bend village council receiveda letter IVIenday night at its regular meeting stating that the firm had filed the quit claim deed and wants a cheque for .$437., submitted with a deed which was never signed by the village, returned. Clerk Louise Clipperton said the firm has leased the land from the village for many years. A ten year lease which expired on November 2, 2974 has not yet been renewed as there was a dispute over the amount of land involved. In April, according to Mrs. Clipperton, Manore Marine, presented the village with a lease the firm considered suitable and a cheque for the $437. The council has not yet signed the lease, Reeve Roh Sharen suggested that council immediately Consult with the federal authorities to determine their position regarding the property. He said. the village bad been given written authorization for jurisdiction, over the land in- volved, by the federal authorities. Councillor Robert Simpson asked if there was not some way to settle the matter once and for all but the only .suggestion made was to consult with the federal government for a ruling. Councillor Bill Baird suggested that the method would result in a "rigamarole" of confusion and contradiction. The Grand Bend recreation. committee would like to take over the, responsibility of operating the summer swim and lifeguard programs as well as operation and maintenance of the village -facilities on the Ausable River for 2976, Councillor Harold Green, also a member of the recreation committee, told council at Monday night's meeting that it would not be interested in assuming responsibility for the operation of the beach parking let. At present the parking lot provides considerable income for the village but the recreation' committee might eonsider taking it over sometime in the future. Mr. Greene announced that a dance was planned for December 13 on the evening of the day of the Grand Bend Santa Claus parade, On the following day, Sunday, December 14, the committee will stage a variety show. Mr, Greene said it was hoped that the Santa Claus parade, dance and variety show would attract a number of cottagers and encourage them to stay for the weekend activities. He said the committee was planning on upgrading the soccer field. At present the length of the field is short of regulation and it is proposed to lengthen the field. This would be possible only by moving some telephone wires which now interfere. The field will be plowed, rolled and seeded as it is now quite uneven. Tax status not to be disclosed over phone Should the clerk of the village reveal whether or not taxes have been paid on a certain property over the phone?

The clerk said she presently will tell anyone what amount of taxes are levied against a property but it is felt that whether these taxes have been paid or not is a personal matter between the village and the property owner. The question of disclosure by telephone came up after a letter from a local solicitor was read complaining that he had been refused such information. Council agreed that if the property owner or a represen- tative appeared at the clerk's office, the information would be available. Council also agreed to require penalties from any taxpayer who had paid the first and third in- stallment of taxes but skipped the second. According to the clerk, about forty percent of all tax arrears missed the second in- stallment. It is thought that the second installment is forgotten by many, Stan Lovie of the Grand Bend Public Utilities Commission appeared before council regarding street lighting for certain areas in the village, in- cluding Southcott Pines. Bob and Don Southcott were both present at the meeting. Reeve Sharen reminded councillors that street lights could not be installed in the Southcott Pines area of the village until the roads had been assumed by the municipality. Council asked Mr. Lovie to do a proposal for the village street lighting update at a cost of about $1,500.
