This house was purchased by CPH at a time when the hospital felt there was potential for expanding the facility.

The OPP had been out in full force following further complaints regarding disturbances advised Clerk-Treasurer John Stewart. Numerous charges had been laid. The barrier constructed by the village had been broken and the checkerboard sign pushed over. An invoice for materials and labour will be sent to the tenants of 476 Drummond Street. Following an early request for information regarding responsibili- ties to develop property along onion Street, Stewart advised council that a plan was being drawn to share costs. If an owner on the north side paid for the road and infrastructure, a south side resident could not obtain a building permit until 50 percent of those costs were paid to the village which would in turn pay them to the original devel- oper. All work would have to be engi- neered to ensure future develop- ment would have access to water, hydro and sewage. With no appeals received regard- ing the Lavern and Joan Clark minor variance, the committee of adjustment decision is final. Authorization was given for the payment of $2,033 including GST, to Merner Contracting Ltd. for Gypsy Lane storm sewer construc- tion.
