Grand Bend council gave
their blessing Monday to the
tender submitted by Blue-
Con Construction Incor
porated of London for the
construction of the first
phase of the resort’s sewers.
Blue-Con submitted the
low bid of $694,369 which was
$70,000 lower than the next
nearest tender.
The tender was 12 percent
lower than the $790,000
estimated by the engineers
for the project, M. N. Dillon.
Phase one of the systen)
includes the lagoon and
piping systems around the
lagoon.
Blue-Con said it would take
30 weeks to complete this
portion of the system.
Bill Ewing of M. N. Dillon
told councilhe has done little
work in the immediate
vicinity but the City of
Windsor expressed pleasure
with a job that the contractor
completed in that city.
Bill Ramsden of the
ministry of the environment
told council some were being
experienced in gaining
easements from four or five
landowners with one
property owner and the
ministry being far apart in
terms of an easement set
tlement.
Reeve Bob Sharen asked if
it would be possible to let the
contract excluding the
problem properties and
make them pay the total cost
later when they are forced to
hook up.
Ramsden said this was
possible but it would involve
a different trenching method
which wouldaddto the cost of
the project.
Ramsden
delay in
easements
delaying the project as "the-
ministry would not approve
the tenders until the problem
was solved.
Later, council
Ramsden agreed
AND DISTRICT NEWS
Sharen’s suggestion with the
council giving their approval
to the Blue-Con tender.
In another of the several
points discussed by council,
Ramsden and Ewing the
question of sewer pumps and
if some form of a grant from
the village to owners who
needed the pumps was
discussed.
Ramsden the pumps are
supplied to village under the
terms of the agreement and
are inturn turned over to
the owners wno require the
pumps.
He said Petrolia in ad
dition to supplying the pump,
granted each homeowner
$100 to be used towards' the
installation of the unit.
On a matter which Sharen
classed as an “urgent
problem” council will meet
with the commercial
fishermen who operate
facilities along River Road
with regards to the in
stallation of sewers.
The sewers for the road
were not in the original
specifications
said there
recognizable
problem and
fishermen would save money
if they had sewers installed
when they were being put in
throughout the village.
Councillor Bill Baird said
he would like to see all
commercial establishments
hook up to the sewer at the
time of construction. He said
this would sdve the ripping
up of the sidewalk along
Main street twice.
Ramsden agreed with the
suggestion but said the*
contractor would have no
right to place the sewer
inside the establishment
without the owner’s per
mission. This would require
a co-ordination between the
contractor and the property
owner, he said.
Total cost for the project
has gone up from the 1975
estimate of three million
dollars to an estimate of four
million.

I I
Sir:
As an interested Grand
Bend citizen I would like to
comment on the recent write
up of the Grand Bend council
in the January 3 issue,
concerning their handling of
the request from St.
Dominies parish, Oakville,
urging the province to
prevent the use of por
nographic acts and
materials.
My personal viewpoint
concerning pornography is
not the issue at hand, but my
concern is the apathetic
attitude of the council.
It seems to me the issue
wasn’t even discussed but
was turned down with a
laugh and a “joke like”
attitude.
I wouid hope that the
residents of Grand Bend
would want this issue dealt
with in a more mature
manner.
This lack adaisical at
titude does not create a good
impression to the ratepayers
of those in authority.
The reeve’s suggestion “If
you don’t like it, don’t look”
was especially unattractive
to me. I don’t want to be an
apathetic citizen and close
my eyes, but rather an in
fluential one with some
control over community and
provincial standards.
I think the issue should be
re-considered.
Mow can Grand Bend
promote itself as a family
vacationland and at the
same time scrap an op
portunity to support a ban on
pornography?
Perhaps in the future
Grand Bend might become
susceptible to this type of
exploitations for financial
gain.
