Council learned later from Jennison that Bosanquet had sent him a cheque for $9,000. Clerk Louise Clipperton said that she contacted Bosanquet to find out why they had paid Jennison before the deal was closed. A letter from Bosanquet clerk Robert McCordic said that "We assumed you had given him the cheque," "When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me," Sharen said, Mrs, Clipperton said that 13osanquet sent her a photocopy of the cheque dated July 21., and had already been cashed. She said that Bosanquet told her that they had intended to send the cheque to her, but it had been put in a window envelope and sent to Jen- nison by mistake, Councillor Keith Crawford said that Bosanquet had no business making out the cheque until the transaction had been closed. "Let the taxpayers of Bosanquet worry about that," Sharen replied, Sharen said that Bosanquet had "improperly handled $9000 of municipal money." Grand Bend is continuing with the transaction.

As well as the delegation, council received two letters and a petition concerning the Southcott Pines roads. Reeve Robert Sharen, a resi- dent of that area, declared a conflict of interest. Be said that while he didn't actually have a conflict, it may appear to be a conflict of in- terest, and in that case, he felt he should step down. Harold Green took the chair in the reeve's absence, Green said that because the people pay taxes to the village, there was no ques- tion that the village should look after the roads. He compared the situation to Gibbs Park, where the village took over road maintenance a few years ago. Councillor Keith Crawford said that if the majority of the people living in the sub- division want the village to assume the care of the roads, then the village would go ahead. In a letter to council, Tom Webster said that it was "silly and ignorant" for residents to be paying an association fee to Southcott Pines to get the same care that their taxes to the village should be providing. Many of the residents have pulled out of the Southcott Pines association. The delegation was told that council agrees in princi- ple with the idea of taking over the roads, if the majori- ty of residents request it. Council said it would ap- proach the Ministry of Transportation concerning criteria for grants for bring- ing the roads up to standard. Crawford told the delegation that the matter will be dealt with further by the new council. Bob Sharen has asked that concerned parents and tax- payers come to tonight's (Wednesday) meeting on school closing a half hour early, Sharen said that the pa'rents and taxpayers should get together before the school board represen- tatives arrive at 7:30, to dis- cuss the situation.

Crawford said that now is the time to act on the problem, because of the rabies scare in Simcoe coun- ty due to stray *cats. Crawford said that he was attacked by an angry cat in one of his cabins in Grand Bend recently. He described the village as a haven for wild cats because of the many cottages without basements under which the cats can hide. Deputy reeve Judy Uniac agreed with Crawford saying that cats in garbage has become a real problem. Crawford pointed out that killing the cats would be a humane gesture, because many of them are starving. Others are maimed or blind, he said. Harold Green said that he had also noticed an increase of cats while he was out jogging. He said that many of the summer tourists, leave their cats behind when they go home. Reeve Robert Sharen said that authority foi• having a day to shoot the wild cats would have to come from "Someone higher up than us''.
