Another possibility is that the senior ' citizens, whose spokesman, Harry Baker, has volunteered their services for supervising washrooms in the Town Hall when they become available, might be asked to per- form this duty in the interim, in the Municipal building. Council will hold a special meeting to discuss the matter. In other business, it was disclosed that the village does not own the wedge of land in the gore on Bayfield Terrace - that it is at . present the property of the Depar- tment of Highways; consequently its possible sale by the village is no longer under discussion. The question of dum- ping refuse at the end of Delevan street beside Pioneer Park was discussed and Council feels that the brush and other materials should be removed to avert the threat of fire. Villagers are reminded that a fine can_...beimposed-- for dumping on public right- of-ways. The Bayfield Yacht Club through its president, Hadyn Goz- zard, has expressed an interest in extending Yacht Club Dockage gradually • as ' far • 'as • the old bridge abutment. Funds accumulating from the payment of water rights might be available for this pur- pose. Pioneer Parkers give to fund The Board of Directors of the Pioneer Park Association met at the home of the president, Dr. Walter Thompson on Saturday, June 9th, and voted to donate $500 to the Arena Building Fund. This is the second gift of $500 as it was originally promised to present $1,000 for the arena. The Annual rummage sale, sponsored by the Pioneer Park Association, will be held on the second Friday of July, as has become a tradition. It will be held in the new arena on the 13th of July. This is the main source of income for the Pioneer Park and Bayfield residents are urged to support the project again in their usual generous fashion.
