Andy and Laureen McGill asked Huron Township council at its Jan. 6 meeting if it would remove the public walkway signs it placed on property the McGill's own. Neighboring Huron Road resi- ' dents have been using a path on the land as a right-of-way to the beach. Reeve Murray' Thompson told Mr. 'McGill the township and residents who use the path think itshould be a right-of-way. Because of usage, he said resi- dentshave a claim to the land but the township doesn't. The land shows up a$ a desig- nated walkway on township maps. Deputy Reeve Hugh Mason explained the land for the right -of, way should have been turned over • to the township. "It was originally designated a walkway but it wasn't turned over," he said. He said a mistake had been made somewhere in the past and the land was never turned over. Since the township does not own the right-of-way, Mr. McGill requested the township remove signs it placed declaring the path a public walkway. Mrs. McGill told council when they were first introduced to the property they could see signs that part of the land was used. However, she said they were looking at. a lot of different properties, many of which had signs of use. She said theirrealtor told them the right-of-way had been removed in .1969. Mr. McGill said, "It's being used by snowmobilers now and I think that's against the law." But he said if he posts `no trespassing' signs, someone takes them down. .In November, several residents who use the walkway approached council asking for help keeping the McGills from shutting down the walkway: Although council could not do anything to claim the land, it sug- gested the residents seek legal. counsel and attempt to claim it based on the public'slong-term usage of the land. Council offered to reimburse the residents for some of their legal costs in pursuing to keep the right- of-way public.. The McGills questioned the fair- ness ,of council's subsidizing the other residents. Reeve Thompson said, "The township feels some obligation to the residents [who use the right-of- way.]" In November, council was told as many as 50 or 60 people from the area use the walkway to access the beach. However the McGills indicated other people stop and use the beach access when they see the posted signs. "I suppose we should take down those public roadway' signs," Reeve Thompson said. He said, "If we took • that .public walkway sign down, it may just continue to be used by those few people who are using it." Council passed a motion instruct= ing the road superintendent to have the signs removed. • ,/ !fit' �i' I�r�s`^`:' "�"z':T...'.;�r.�f.,..:al.,',•. �/'3fit .L yr,�. �j,.?`�.if�y� .x' �Q„`•'f.§r.,frSkd•`�f�^y r� .f;3 3�'u;�?%.:.��'� :/;�`�'•.•.��"'d�.� N � ri u�.�?��';;ks'ff :zi`!'�z9." IMIMEIVAMIV Lower oil prices having impact on heating bills Lower world oil prices are now having an impact on consumers in southwestern Ontario who heat their homes with oil. "The fesidential price of furnace oil has dropped 21/ cents per litre, or approximately seven per cent," says Don Edward, owner of Edward Fuels, a residential oil supplier with offices in Goderich, Clinton and Teeswater, This drop, which is the result of a recent OPEC decision not to limit crude oil production, will. affect more than 529,00q Ontario households currently heating with oil. Edward says world oil prices are at a five-year low of $14 U.S. per barrel. Industry watchers believe that fuel oil prices will continue to drop if the Canadian dollar strengthens past the current 74 cents U.S. range. These market factors, as well as advancements in fuel oil technology have made oil a fuel of'chdice to heat Canadian homes. Electric heat, by comparison, is twice the price of oil, says Edward, while the price of natural 'gas - approximately the same as oil now - is rising steadily. "With gas utilities charging $7.50 per month in administrative fees, and as much as $10 per month to pay.for new pipelines, I don't think it will be long before 'their cus- tomers consider qil," Edward says.
