LIONS, SEEK
CONTINUED FROM PAGE l'
The Lions members proposed
that council make available village
property' on the west side of the
river, between Art Gilmore's and
Caswell Hackett's • and adjoining
Ross Street.
Considerable discussion resulted
on the question Of ownership 'of the
land or leasing the, land. The'
meeting ended with no firm
decision on whether the land would
be made available, or if so, on what
terms,
Later in the meeting, as the clerk
presented routine correspondence,
an offer of $100 was read, made by
Vernon Glenn of West Wawanosli
on part of the village property in
question. It is assumed that 'the
property would be used for
residential purposes. A motion by
Councillor Gary Ritchie- to reject
the offer did not get a seconder and
nothing , was decided.
It had been the intention of the
Lions, if this property was acquir-
ed, to have access to the park from
both sides of the river and to build
a foot bridge linking the two ,sides. •
