AND DISTRICT NEWS
Sewers to begin
in spring of '79
Construction of the long
awaited sewage system in
the village of Grand Bend is
expected to go ahead on
schedule according to the
latest information received
by council.
At Monday night’s regular
meeting, clerk Louise
Clipperton read a letter from
Ontario Environment
Minister George McCague
saying the program is high
on the Ministry’s priority
list.
McCague continued, “It is
our intention to advertise
tenders in the fall of this year
with construction to start in
the spring of 1979 and
barring any unforeseen
complications we intend to
stay with this schedule.”
A sample bylaw regarding
the length of time given to
residents to hookup to the
new sewer system was
received from John Timko of
the Ministry of Environment
and will be studied by
council.
Residents will be given a
certain time to complete
hookups, but this has not
been decided.
Councillor Bill Baird said
he agreed with the necessity
of a time limit but added,
“We must reach a happy
medium on the time. If the
work is completed in the fall,
a maximum of nine months
as suggested in the bylaw
would not be fair to our
ratepayers.”
Reeve Bob Sharen com
mented, “We certainly have
to have a time limit. Some
people have still not hooked
up to our water system.’’
At the same meeting
confirmation was received of
intended dredging of the
Grand Bend harbour.
A letter from Mr. Moffatt
of the Small Craft Harbours
Branch indicated the
necessary funds were now
available and tenders were
out. He expected the work
would be completed within
two months of acceptance of
the tender.
Councillor Harold Green
told council that divers had
discovered a 30 foot tree in
the bottom of the river and
the dredging contractors will
be asked to remove this
obstacle.

Officials of Thompson-
Warner Motors Limited
Grand Bend are being asked
to attend an upcoming
council meeting regarding
the lease for a parking lot
owned by the village on the
north side of Highway 81 at
the easterly end of the
village.
The Thompson-Warner
firm has used the lot for
storage of boats for the past
year and the lease expired on
April 1 of this year.
Council discussed the lease
at length and councillor Bill
Baird commented, “They
won’t get it the way they did
last year. We marked off and
drove in stakes for a part of
the lot. They agreed to the
portion to be used, but didn’t
obey our wishes. The only
way this year is to give them
all of the lot and double the
price.”
Deputy-Reeve Bob Simp
son quickly added, “At least
double the price.” The lease
for 1977 called for a payment
of $365.
Council approved three
sign permit applications as
deputy-reeve
for Wonder
Rink, Dale’s
and Baskin-

be providing a 24 hour
transportation service. He

Clerk Louise Clipperton
was instructed to issue the
