Grand Bend council decid ed to get exact figures from the treasurer of the Lamb ton County Board of Educa tion, Mr. A. Ewasco, before appealing the apportion ment of their education levy to the Ontario Municipal Board. Council agreed at Mon day night’s meeting that the amounts they are paying are out of line, after listening to Reeve Robert Sharen who read a list of amounts paid by other municipalities. Council has 30 days to decide whether or not they will appeal to the OMB. Burgerfest activities also presented some problems at Monday’s meeting. Coun cillor Harold Green said he received complaints during the weekend that the Chamber of Commerce was charging cars to park on the beach. “How can they charge for a lot we gave them for free?” Green said. Council agreed that it was illegal for the Chamber to be charging for parking on Fri day. The village by-law states that parking fees will only be charged on Satur days and Sundays. Green said that the first time a burgerfest was held, the council had someone collecting parking money. However, the chamber ask ed them not to, since it might have discouraged visitors from coming to the beach, Green said. Since then, parking fees were not charged by council, he add ed. It was unknown whether the chamber intended to keep the proceeds or turn it over to the council. “Who gets the money is irrelevant, it’s illegal,” Sharen said. Councillor Keith Crawford said that parking fee arangements will have to be made very clear for next year. Councillor Bill Baird was absent from the meeting. Leroy Keyes attended the meeting as a representative of the United Church. He requested that council not require the church to install sewer hook-ups in the church yard. The area in question is used for out door summer services, he said. Adequate hook-ups will be installed in the church and in the manse, he said. Reeve Sharen told Keyes that council had decided that any buildable lot would have sewer connections. Coun cillor Green said that he still disagreed with that ruling, and pointed that council still has the power to make an exception. Councillor Keith Crawford said, “I would strongly recommend you should want them in there.” The cost is now $350. Since the govern ment is helping with the sewer construction, that is only 25% of the actual cost, Crawford pointed out. If the installations had to be made later, the full price would be charged, as well as road repair costs. “We’ll be saving you money in the long run,” Sharen told Keyes. Council asked Keyes to discuss the problem with the church again. Council decided to refer a request from Mrs. F. Myers to the planning board. Mrs. Myers wrote in a letter to council that she had purchased a cottage at 39 Pine Street in 1947 from Mrs. Ida MacEccleston. Recently she learned that a piece which she believed was part of her property ac tually belonged to the village. Mrs. Myers said that the property in question is inside her fence, and she has maintained it since she purchased the lot. Council told Mrs. Myers that the planning board would look into her problem. They said that other such requests had been made, and unless there are com plications the lot owner can claim the property by pay ing all the legal and survey ing fees. Mr. Janssen, co-owner of The Anchorage attended the meeting to ask council if they could keep their public washrooms open later at night. He was told that the washrooms were closed before midnight because vandalism became a problem in the late night. In other business council voted to purchase a new photocopier at $5,500. When the motion to purchase the photocopier came before council, Green said, ‘Tmjn favour, but I’m opposed.” Green said he knew that the copier was needed, but he didn’t like the price. He was told by clerk Louise Clipper ton that another machine which had been considered cost $6,200. Council also decided to en dorse a motion made by the council of Seaforth re questing the Attorney General to examine the slowness of the courts system and the apparent leniency of some judges. It was also decided that the fine for having dogs on the beach would be $25. The same price would be charg ed if a dog was found loose in the village. Deputy Reeve Judy Uniac put several more requests for sign permits before council.
