Little interest in new system The possibility of in troducing a new system of collecting tax arrears for the village of Grand Bend received little response from council at their last meeting. The proposal which was introduced by Reeve Bob Sharen received a negative response from both clerk treasurer Louise Clipperton and deputy reeve Bob Simp son. Simpson felt that there must be a less complicated manner in which to collect the arrears other than that presented by Sharen. Sharen said that when the arrears are above five percent of the total taxes “the town is losing money.” Mrs. Clipperton said that while the tax arrears were above five percent, they were going down. After the meeting Mrs. Clipperton said that the arrears had fallen from 44 percent to nine percent since she has been employed by the village. Sharen reported in his meetings with the ministry of the environment that funds have been allotted for the construction of village’s sewers but that “They won’t guarantee anything.” In a meeting with industry and tourism officials, Sharen asked that less money be spent on advertising and more funds be allotted to capital works programs. The reeve said that officials were ready to come to Grand Bend and discuss the matter. In other business, council: Received a receipt from Stephen township for $2704 acknowledging payment by Grand Bend for their share of the Stanlake drain and a request for the $503 which the township claims is owing. The village will ask for explanation for the second amount. Authorized the clerk treasurer to attend two conferences. Received a letter from David W. Read inquiring if the village would have jurisdiction over the cleaning up of the cottage destroyed by fire in August and located on Oak street. Sharen said that the village is pursuing the matter. Gave authorization for the registering of the village crest. Learned that two life guards and a dock master have been hired for the summer. Received a delegation consisting of Vivian Betkei operator of the pier booth who inquired about the status of her lease now that the village has jurisdiction over her property. After stating that the booth had no problem in its thirty-five years of operation Sharen said that council would be in touch with her at a later date. Authorized repairs up to $2500 to be made on the village’s bulldozer.
