"Ji ’li jr '■i ■ Yl Resort makes no headway in clearing up lease 'mess' ‘ We’ve got one heck of a mess, lets face it. Where do we get the authority to give leases?,’ asked councillor Keith Crawford during a prolonged debate over the payment of a $5 dollar per year lease fee to the village for lands on which the fishing huts along the river are located on. Only one fisherman Harold Goodison showed up for the meeting while several other fishermen were advised by lawyer Van Laughton that an appearance at the council meeting would infer that the village has a right to lease the land. Goodison said that other fishermen he had talked to would have been willing to attend but that they had not received official notice of the meeting. At the request of several fishermen, the village began charging a $5 per year fee beginning in 1973 so as to aid the fishermen in obtaining long term loans and making it easier for the fishermen to dispose of their property. According to Clerk­ treasurer Louise Clipperton no level of government would claim ownership of the property on which the fishing buildings were located. The village then took the initiative of setting a lease fee but Mrs. Clipperton emphasized that the village does not claim ownership of the land. Council had requested that the fishermen meet with council to discuss the possibility of having long term leases rather than the one year agreement which presently is in effect. Goodison said that he favoured a longer lease. Deputy-Reeve- Bob 3imp- son suggested that village should know the before any type agreement is made and that another meeting between the fishermen and council should be held. Both Harold Green and Deputy-Reeve Bob Simpson disagreed saying that it was up to the fishermen to make the next move. Earlier in the discussion Sharen said “If they don’t show up and talk, they don’t want help.” Council made no decision on the matter. the facts of HURON SANITATION Owned by John J.

R.R. 1, GRAND BEND Sail boards near, veto beach plowing Grand Bend is closer to having a sail board rental operation this summer as council and the operator laid the basis for a formal agreement at Monday night’s council meeting. Reeve Bob Sharen told Mark Stuart that the village want six points incorporated into the agreement: the operation will have liability insurance, there will be a clearly defined storage area for the equipment, the owners will agree to meet with council if any problems arise, a copy of the rental agreement between the renter of the board and Stuart’s company be in­ cluded as an appendix, the hours of operation will be specified and that the company agree to co-operate with the beach patrol. Councillor Keith Crawford suggested that in addition, a clause should be included in the agreement that council could withdraw its per- Mid-size super sport You’re ahead on a HONDA The CB-400TII is the flagship of Honda’s new mid-range Super Series, All the 400 Twins feature a revolutionary big-bore, ultra-short-stroke engine that makes high performance possible in production machines.

Stuart said that he could see no problem^ in com­ plying with the agreement and added “we’re coming in here to make this a business and not a fly by night operation.” He said that his firm had gained distribution rights for Surf’n sail equipment for south-western Ontario and Michigan and will try to open on the May 24 weekend. Sharen told Stuart to have his lawyer draft a copy of the agreement. Although council at its last meeting received with favour a request that the beach north of the Lakeview Casino be plowed it was a different story Monday. Work’s superintendent Gary Desjardine said that the plowing of the beach would make little sense as he felt that the area would soon revert back to its former condition. While council felt that the beach’s appearance would be enhanced, it was not worth the expense. Desjardine stated if the job was to be done, other equipment would have to be brought in as the village’s equipment could not move the large accumulation of sand. Harold Green disagreed with the suggestion that the village act as liaison between the various owners near the concerned area if they desired to undertake the plowing of the themselves. As in most municipalities this year dogs continue topic of considerable talk and the resort is no ex­ ception.
