Once again, the St^nlake drain came up for discussion with the explanation of the costs involved still not satisfactory to Grand Bend council. The village received a letter from Stephen clerk­ treasurer Wilmer Wein giv­ ing the township’s explana­ tion for the higher costs. Several of the township’s figures were questioned with councillor Bill Baird saying that the village had agreed to the job’s es­ timated cost but that the township did not inform the village that the tenders were more than the estimated price. This prompted deputy­ reeve Bob Simpson to remark that Grand Bend had authorized Stephen tender but they did not authorize the township to accept the tenders. Baird said that it was not so much the difference between the estimated and actual price that bothered him but “The underhanded way that Stephen handled it.” Reeve Bob Sharen pointed out that Grand Bend’s cost percentage had not changed with the resort assuming 47 percent of the drain’s cost. The estimated amount for the village was $2704 while the actual figure turned out to be $3211. The reeve suggested that the $2704 be paid and the remainder held back until Stephen gave an explanation satisfactory to council about the amount over and above the estimated price. A delegation from the recreation committee questioned council’s right to make specific cutbacks in the grants budget of the committee. Harold Hartle and Mrs. Pauline Lingard asked coun­ cil why, if they could agree to cutting back the overall cost of the program budget rather than the specific areas, why could not the same procedure hold true for the grant portion of the budget. Hartle asked “How can council deal with individual figures when we’ve done the work?” When various council members questioned the • number of village-residents as compared to people out­ side of the village involved in organizations that the village was helping to fund, Mrs. Lingard made an im­ passioned plea that the ac­ tualization of a feeling of community is an important part of the programe and this sense of community is very important now, con­ sidering the village’s annex­ ation proposals. Sharen stated that it was clear at the outset that coun­ cil would have the final say in determining the rec budget. Council deferred a deci­ sion on the budget until the budget meeting later in the spring. . During the discussion Har­ tle and Mrs. Lingard an­ nounced that a playground and picnic area would be built in the triangle of land bounded by Gill road, 81 crescent and highway 81. A “creative climber” which was purchased last year and an undetermined type of wooden fence are to be erected at a budgeted cost of $4000. When asked by Sharen if the playground and picnic ; area could be erected over a two year period, Hartle said it would have to be deter- < mined which item, the climber or the fence would be erected first. Hartle add­ ed in response to a query from the reeve that con­ structing only part of the fence this year would not be in the interests of safety considering the amount of traffic in the vicinity. Council approved the idea in principle of using the village’s equipment and per- sonel to erect the® climber and fencing and it was suggested that the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority’s SWEEP program could erect the fence. In other business, council: Passed the bylaw that closed Walker street as no objections were received. Received a letter from the Liquor Control Board of On­ tario informing them that their request for six day a week operation from May 24 till Thanksgiving for the local liquor outlet had been denied. Council will send a letter to the L.C.B.O. asking them for the rational behind their decision. Were informed that the maintenance of the village’s stop-lights will no longer be the responsibility of the ministry of transportation and communications. Routine maintenance on the lights will be performed by P.U.C. foreman Stan Lovie. Decided not to participate in a program of mosquito spraying sponsored by the ministry of health. Learned that the resort’s request for a road sign in­ dicating Grand Bend’s loca­ tion at the intersection of highway 83 and Perth county road 17 had been denied by the ministry of transporta­ tion and communications. Council decided that they would approach the ministry of industry and tourism for same. Grand Bend Grand Bend 4-H club number 2 the “Busy Bodies” met Thursday evening at the town hall for meeting eight.
