Pix by Peake 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. Please turn to page 17 A Custom Backhoeing at reasonable rates.

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. Irene Kennedy Allen s Instant Crystals Not included in 6% refunds.
