lamps would enable council to

Pines are inadequately placed for
street lighting, said Lovie.
Council also decided to pay
Dave Slade $250 for a community
planning study of Grand Bend.
The study,completed for a course
at Ryerson College, Toronto, will
provide council with a good
working document for ad-
justment of village boundaries,
said Sharen.
"I'm not so concerned with the
findings (of the study ) as with
the figures that he has worked
up", he said. The study uses 1973
assessment figures but council
hopes to update the study figures.
"This study provides us with
the groundwork that we need",
said Sharen.
Councillor Bill Baird reported
that the section of Stanlake drain
within the village was tested for
less than $100 and found open,
Ontario Street residents will
have to pay increased
assessments despite the test as
set by council, said Reeve
Sharen.
Council received no written
complaints regarding the revised
assessment by the August 11
deadline. The revised
assessment figures will come
before Court of Revision August
22.
