Stephen Township has passed a by-law which would allow the township to set the rates. A mill rate of 100 mills was agreed upon for interim bill- ing. First taxes will be due February 15. Councillor Bruce Woodley reported that he has received enquiries for summer jobs and will be lining up help for beach patrol and parking within the next week. There was a motion that Grand Bend council confirm Athe use of Grand Bend Nursery School at the United Church as being within the zoning regulations of the village. Council endorsed the school's efforts as very beneficial to the community. There was a motion to charge area landscaper Mor- ris Webb for dumping leaves at the waste disposal site. Further to waste disposal, it was decided to allow Mac- Donald Sanitation to use the site for r one load a week from Ailsa Craig for the period of one year. This would be sub- ject to the approval from the Ministry of Environment. Extended time for sewer hook-ups were granted to owners of the Downtowner Restaurant and to Havasu Trading Post.

McCann and a crew of three spent two days last week go- ing about taking it down. By Thursday they had all but a trunk, two meters in diameter, and two -plus metres high, and a branch of the trunk, measuring a metre across and four metres long, disposed of for firewood. White ash, being one of the more dense and hard woods will keep Joe's wood fires in fuel for some months. He says there will be about 20 cord of split wood from the old giant. When it came to the big trunk and branch, McCann was forced tocut wedges with his big chain saw before it could be split. The tree is estimated to be well over 100 years old. climate of Florida. • Mrs. Mary Ravelle, who has been in South Huron Hospital at Exeter this past few months; is now residing at Bluewater Rest Home.

Winds hit project Come tumbling down . High winds on Friday brought down parts of the , walls of the new harbour building under construction in Grand Bend and destroyed the big tent that was protec- ting them. • Bob Fenlon, owner of Fenlon Construction Ltd. of Lambeth, said he hopes the falling walls won't delay the scheduled completion of the single -storey building which will accommodate customs facilities as well as a public laundry, showers and washrooms for marine visitors. He said' "we've been set back four or five days but will just have to work twice as hard to get it finished for March 26. It was a strange in- cident but nothing's changed." The winds ripped off a large canvas tent enclosing the con- struction and knocked down freshly -laid tops of walls, in- cluding almost a metre (about three feet) from one wall which was 212 metres (eight feet) high and had wood supports on both sides. Fenlon's company, which was awarded toe $100,000 con- tract in December, was using the rented tent to allow the "bricks and mortar to set pro- perly in bad weather." He' said the workers now would cover newly completed work on an individual basis "and that will slow us down." His company started work on the project Dec. 6 and was "well aware of the strange conditions" produced by winds coming in from the lake. "When they're from the south it can be beautiful but when it comes from the north it can be bitter cold and blustery."
