Centre is not •Obligated to pay
$500:a month rent, an amount
verbally agreed on. to the
Vanastra Recreation Com-
mittee which Owns the Day
Care Centre building. The
recreation committee has
never billed the Day Care
dommittee for the rent and
none has` been paid since the
centre opened in September.
That's what Tuckersmith
Township - clerk treasurer
James Mclntosh told
Tuckersmith council at their
meeting Tuesday night.
Besides, he said, Day are
accounts have been audited
up to the end of MVlarch and the
centre is free of debt to that
date. The provincial
government would,. pay 80
percent of the rent, as it does
of all operating expenses. but
Mr. McIntosh said the
government would only pay
month by month, not a seven
month back billing.
Why was. the township
treasurer or the day care
committee never bitted.
councillor Bob Bell asked,
"'Ho* did -this get by?"
Deputy Reeve Ervin Sillery
said the matter had come up
at a rec committee meeting
Monday night, when the
committee wondered if they
were supposed to do the
tilling.
"Nobody goes around
handing out money without
getting a bili,'.' councillor Bel!
said.
A move to name members
to vacancies on the rec
committee was put off.
Councillor Bell had doubts
Poliee report
There were more highway
accidents in January of this
year than in the same period
in 1975. the Goderich detach-
ment of the OPP reporting
list of accidents in their area.
Last year there were 35
accidents in January com-
pared to 58 in January. In
February 1975 there were 38
accidents, compared to 43
3.ecidents this past February.
`" The OPP says .the reason
for the increase in accidents
in the first two months of this
year is due to the heavy
winter we've had.
Although there were more
accidents in the first two
months of 1976. March -proved
to be a better month. In 1975
there were 37 reported ac-
cidents, while there were only
32 accidents this past March.
Meanwhile the Clinton
Police Force have put new
parking fines into effect. The
fine now for improper
parking is $4. It used to be $2.
Going into effect in the very
neat -future is an increase of
the overtime parking fine.
While it is still only a 51 fine,
it will soon cost - overtime
parkers 52.
about the selection ~method. f.t
was difficult to appoint. people -
when councillors don't know
them, he said.
Al Guest and Harvey
Hammond of Vanastra told
councillors that Harold White
Homes of London and St.
Thomas planned to start
building new houses at
Vanastra this spring. Pur-
chasers of the homescould
get eight percent mortgages,
no matter what their income
level, under the: provinces'
assisted home ownership
program. Mr. Guest said.
The builder plans to put up
12 houses and as they sell,
start building in other areas
of Vanastra, he said.
One lot where a house is
planned is on an existing road
and Mr. Guest said the owner
would sell it. "to Tuckersmith
for $7,000- The ministry of
transportation said there is
no way that road can be
closed commented' road
superintendent Allan
Nicholson.
"He owns 38 lots. It should
be worth it to him to sacrifice
one lot and build on the
others. reeve- F.Igin
Thomson said. M -r. Guest said
he would be back at the next
meeting with a site plan for
the area.
The men asked the council
to takke,back ownership to two
areas which have sewage and
water easements and can't be
built on. "We're willing to
take this area back if White
will" give us that roadway,"
Reeve Thompson suggested.
Councillors said they didn't
think there would be a
problem with closing an
unused sidewalk from Quebec
to Regina Sts, that would
allow two more lots to be big
enough to build on. "I'm just
throwing it out and don't need
a decision now," Mr. Guest
said.
Clerk Mclntosh was asked
to get an injunction to stop
demolition of buildings at
Vanastra by an owner who
doesn't have a demolition
permit. The same owner has
not cleaned up two lots where
deinolition was done
previously. No more
demolition should be allowed
until the first area is cleaned
up. reeve Th-ompson said.
The reeve asked Mr.
Nicholson to fill in 10 foot
manholes; that were part of
the former base's heating
system, if they are on
township property or give
private property owners ten
days to fill them.
Dave Reed of Frank Cowan
insurance --reviewed the -
township's current coverage.
Councillors doubled in-
surance on office contents to
$6,000 and on road depart-
ment tolls etc'. to $5,000 but
left all other coverage the
same. The big cost premium
is for fire insurance, Mr.
Reed said. including $456,000
on the;community centre at
Vanastra.
Tile drainage loans of $$00
and $22,500 were approved.

A decision.on Mr. Wallace's
request ,for water• from
Tuckersmith Was reserved.
Mr. Nicholson said a town-
ship water line across the
street was only half inch pipe
and was already loaded. It
would cost the township about
$2.,000 to lay a two inch water
main 550 feet to Mr. Wallace's
new house, but the line could
serve tether ,people if they
wanted toe nship water, the
road superintendent said.
Bill' Brown's license to
operate a salvage yard in
Egmondvilte was renewed for

clerk was asked to talk to the
township's lawyer about
taking action against Joseph
Haskett of Vanastra who had
not cleaned up his garage
property there as the town-
ship asked.'
