parks in Bosanquet which do
not pay enough in taxes to
pay the costs of collecting
garbage from them.
Trailer parks and tourism
were issues that interested
most of the candidates.
Many said that they would
like to see tourism promoted
in the township.
Another subject they all
agreed on was road im-
provement. However, wher
ratepayer Peter VanEngelen
asked if yield or stop signs

given much encouragement.
Members of the present
council told him that such
signs were stolen or destoyed
by vandals as soon as they
were erected.

Responding to a question One land owner who should
from councillor Tony be pleased by -the ex-
planation given by Laing
should be Joe Norris of
London who was given
permission by council to
construct a pond on a portion
of the 35 acres which he owns
on concession 16.
Norris said the land in
question is not agriculturally
viable and that the pond will
be approximately three feet
deep and should serve as a
stop-over point • for
migratory water fowl, The
Ausable-Bayfield Conser-
vation Authority had en-
thusiastically endorsed the
proposal, he said.
At the October meeting
council deferred action on
,the matter until more in-
formation was received. It
was feared at the time that
the pond could affect a
municipal drain.
In other business, council;

Dorothy Wight who has been
acclaimed to the board of
education stressed the need
for good communication
between the board, teachers
and ratepayers, "I can talk
and I can listen," Mrs. Wight
said.
Ratepayers Bert Pearce
asked members of the
present council why they
only hold daytimemeetings.
Pearce said that more
people could attend if the
meetings were held in the
evenings.
Council told him that
evening meetings often went
on til 2:00 or 3:00 a.m.
Pearce also asked why
proper minutes weren't
taken, calling them
"dubious". He suggested
that council get a tape
recorder. He asked why
most decisions by council
were unanimous, and was
told that many were not.
Pearce also expressed
concern over the influence
exerted on council by
planners, environmentalists,
advisory boards, and other
governmental offices.
McDonald agreed with
Pearce saying that levels of
bureaucracy hampered
council's action. Pearce told
the candidates that they will
have to stand up to such
advisors,.
About 50 people attended
the meeting.
