Councillor Marsha Lemon added .that if the .village annexed to the south, they would be responsible fo a lot more of this beach anyway. Why not give a little help now? Soyiticott asked Snider what liabili- ty would the village have if they helped out? He replied that if council spent money here, the village would then be liable to continue this service forever. "We don't want to set a 'precedent here," Snider replied, but added that he would like to see the village help bar dumping fill to restore the walkway to its former state. Woodley 'reminded everyone of a meeting to be held this Sunday, January 12, at 2:00 p.m. at the Southcott Pines clubhouse, when Roger Letham, M.N R.P. engineer, will give a report on these erosion pro- blems at south beach.

"Even if we . just co- operate with them, "on the pathway," she explained. Continuing she told council that the ministry of transpor- tation and communication said that there is money available for road repairs. Reeve Harold Green spoke ul nd stated that it was not for this type of road, which leads right into the waters edge. Clerk Dianne Mollard reported that the Township of Sarnia has approx- imately four roads which end in the lake also, and they give no aid what- soever for shoreline erosion. Green added that he does not wish to support the installation of the two groynes, feeling that there are many taxpayers in the village who do not benefit,from this kind of spending. He felt that private owners along the beach should be responsible for their own damage.

Green told the Putherboughs that he would contact the village lawyer for a final confirmation. He also would be speaking to otherreeves along the lake area to obtain their comments on shoreline assistance. In other matters, council accepted the truck tender from Wallis Motors, Watford, in the amount of $23,401.43 plus sales tax. It was decided at a special meeting held on Tuesday, December 17 at 9:30 a.m. Council authorized village foreman, Jack Stanlake who was present at the meeting, to erect • more "No Snowmobile" signs around the village walks. It was noted that these rude machines are forcing pedestrians from the sidewalk onto the streets to let the machines pass. Also, they pack down the snow making it extremely difficult for removal of the snow from the walks. It was decided that future offenders will be charged from now on if they are caught travelling on the village sidewalks. A large number of people enjoy walking in a village this size and they should not have to worry about being run off the sidewalk. Council went in -camera at 9:24 p.m. to discuss salaries for village employees. The next regular meeting of council will be held on Monday, January 20 at 7:00 p.m. WINTER FUN — Young and older alike participated with Tots of skating and fun hockey on "The Old Riverbed" outdoor rink over the holidays.
