Speaking in connection with the restoration of the, old town hall, Harry Baker gave council 'a resume of the work to date. At the inception of the project it had not been possible to make exact estimates of the total cost. .After realization of the New Horizon grant, allocation of funds by ache village council and donations there were still accounts to be met. Mr. Baker had made arrangements for set- tlement and presented the receipted accounts, thus completing the expenditure which had been involved in the whole project. It was agreed that the council would repay the outstanding amount to Mr. Baker as soon as funds could be found to meet this excess over the sum budgeted. Since the responsibility for the town hall now lies with the council arrangements have been made to hire a janitor so to properly maintain the building. Previously this chore had been carried out by volunteers. Mr.. Carter, President of the Ever Young Club was also present during the discussion. Reeve McFadden in- troduced Dr. Brian. Lynch, Medical Officer of Health for Huron County and Ed. Harrison, Administrator for Huron County Health Unit, Mr. Harrison explained that they were attending the meeting as they wished to discuss the matter of toilet facilities . •in the village -of-Bayfield,-...-.--- It was explained that toilets, open to the general public, were available in • - the municipal building, although difficulties had arisen in the past -due to vandalism. Dr. Lynch, in defining 'the public health Act in relation to the provision of such facilities, stated that in some instances businesses themselves had obligations to make suitable provision. The actual facts, as far as the village was con- cerned, werethat the. toilets in the municipal building were open to the public during the sum- mer months (as they had been all last year). This year they would be open from 8 am to 5 pm on weekdays and 9 am,,to 6 pm on holidays and weekends. Since care of the toilets was essential the Council had hired someone to undertake this task. The facilities are available, will be maintained, and it is merely necessary for businesses to direct enquirers in the ap- propriate direction! It was emphasized that the town hall washrooms w ere not open to the general public . but were for the exclusive use of town hall clientele, Safety and..__.__.p-ubtic-____ _health - regulations precluded their being open for general usage: Reeve McFadden - reported • on a d meeting with ,'William Mungall of the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority concerning erosion on the south shore of the , Bayfield river.
