Bill Sturdcvant and Alex Scott, of
the Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authority attended the meeting to
bring council up to date on the
completion of the erosion control
upstudy.
Coe cit was told that the ABCA
totally agrees with the findings of
. the study that the erosion control:
does go all the way to the water's
. edge.
. Upon the-ABCA's approval,
council passed the resolution to the
allcw the-ABCA to go ahead with
its next step, to prepare ,the grant
that will help fund the survey and
the solutions.. Council wastold that
the province will pay 85 per cent,
the ABCA will kick in 1.5 per cent"
and the village will also pay 1.5 per
cent but the last 12 per cent must
also be -paid for.
Part of the grant will go towards
protecting private property that has
already been built to close to the
river's edge.
Due to that problem council
thought. it would be a good, idea if
council reduced thc rent on .the
Laughton Building on Morenz Lane
since that hadn't received any inquir-
ies yet this year because it is so
In his reports :councillor- John
McDowell said he was appalled at
the condition of the-interiorof tl •
bath house after he finally got a
look at the inside before the long
weekend. _
"It did not look as though it had
'been cleaned in several years," he
said. •
Councillor Bruce Woodley. then
informed McDowell and the rest of
council that he thinks the ceiling in
the. bath house may have, to be.
ripped out .because it may contain
asbestos. He thought that the roof
should be checked and if it does_con-
tain-asbestos it should be ripped out
immediately if it is proven to be
hazardous. . -

Hershie Sivkin, of College Rick-
shaw appeared as a.delegation before
council at their regular meeting last
Tuesday afternoon, asking permis-
sion to grant him licenses to run
three Rickshaws on the streets of
'the village.
Council' was not sure what exact-
ly ;has to be granted to allow -the
rickshaws to _operate on the streets,
but reeve Bob Sharen said he
"would do what he*could or whatev-
cr was deemed neccessary" to get
them running. Sivkin'felt that since
the rickshaws are a type of leisurely
taxi service, he would likely need
taxi permits, although th'e rick-
shaws are pulled by hand.
Sivkin showed council some pic-
ture of the rickshaws to back his re-
quest and said he has already set up
in Port Dover, St. Catharines and
Windsor and thought Grand Bend
Would mac another good location
because of the great numbers of
tourists and it would add to the fla-
vor of the village. Woodley also
liked the idea and asked for the first
ride.
