Brown of Egmondville sought a salvage yard licence in October 1968 on the four -acre lot in the southerly outskirts of Egmondville, he was warned by Tuckersmith Town- ship Council that he was asking for trouble from his neighbours. He told Council he would meet those obstacles when they came. "Council granted him, the, licence and Mr. Brown has been meeting obstacles ever since on the lot of land he bought from the township at a tax sale. Delegations from Egmondville residents have appeared before Council with complaints of salvage piled high in the yard, salvage piled ' outside the yard for long periods, numerous fires in the yard resulting in a' run- ning,battle with Mr. Brown, his neighbours and council. Tuesday night at its regular session .Council was requested to enforce its by-law pertaining to salvage 'yards by London lawyer, Samuel Lerner, Q.C., appearing before Council with his clients Dr. Charles Moyo and Dr. Lorraine Roth Moyo of RR 4, Seaforth. Their hilltop home overlooks the yard. Another neighbour, William' Papple of Egmondville was also at the meeting. Councillor Cleave Coombs of Egmondville stated, "When Dr. Moyo bought the farm, the (saly.agel_yard was already there." Mr. Lerner replied that Dr. Moyo --bought the farm believing Council would enforce its own by-law. Mr. Lerner said that there was no doubt in his mind that there was a breach of the by=law which states that salvage must not be visible from the highway nor from any other r adjacent pioperty at ground level. Mr. Lerner asked Council why it was reluctant to prosecute the case. Reeve Elgin Thompson said at the next Council meeting Mr. Brown's friends from Egmondville would fill the cbuncil room and cited a previous meeting when a delegation appeared on behalf of Mr. Brown with the petition. Mr. Leiner' said he doubted whether 90% of those people who signed the petition lived within one mile of the yard. Deputy -reeve, Alex McGregor asked Mr. Lerner, . "Isn't this your responsibility to prove Brown is breaking the by-law?" Mr. Lerner, replied, "Ali I'm complaining about is that you're not enforcing the .by-law' The responsibility lies directly with Announce harbour contract 'A contract for construction work on the Kincardine harbor r. has been awarded to Dean Con- _ struction Ltd., of Belle River, near Windsor, it was announced Wednesday.. The contract is for $82,930 and work should begin in two to ,three weeks. It is expected to be completed in about three mon- ths. The contract will include con- struction of two baffles jutting out at a 90 -degree angle from the south pier to break up swells. Council. it is your by-law." Mr. Lerner said, "You have been giving - him what I would call probationary licences when You only give him one for six months." Reeve Thompson said, "It's the only way we can control him.,' Mr: Thompson said that he and Deputy -reeve McGregor had 'visited the yard and offered Mr. Brown $2,000 to relocate his yard while keeping the property and selling it as residential lots, but Mr. Brown.refused any of- fer. Mr, Lerner said he was not in- terested in persecuting Mr. Brown but vas only interested in protecting his. client. He asked Council, "Gen- tlemen, it is up to you, either you prosecute him for breach of the by-law or you say no." Councillor .Ervin Sillery asked Mr. Lerner to put his - request in writing, "That. would , be our first step to act on," he said. In other business at the session which .continued until 1:15 a.m. Wednesday, Council authorized the Clerk to apply for Interim road subsidy on ex- penditures of $83,831.11 and passed for payment were the ac- counts including the road ac- count of $23,685.'1. The following building per- mits were approved: Orville Workman, RR 3, Kippen, two stPal,__grSRaijeR-.- XLeH Aga x, Egmondville, garage; Robert Lawson, RR 5, Clinton, silo and feed room. Council passed provisionally the by-law on the Black Creek drain .(Twp. of Hay drain), _This con- cerns fifty properties in the Township of Tuckersmith at an estimated cost to them of.$2,560. The estimated 'cost of the whole drain is $32,139. Court of Revision will be held on Novem- ber 7, 1972 at 9 p.m. Council accepted the tender of Gordon Heard Construction of RR 2 Seaforth for snow removal with a 777 grader at $15.5Q an hour. The township will use its own two graders as well for snow removal of the one hun- dred miles of township roads. Clerk James McIntosh repor- ted the animal control officer, Beverly Nott, had been called to pick up eight stray dogs in the township_ .

He said a proxy vote will also be possible if arranged for ahead of time with him. Council will hold its next meeting on October 17, 1972..' gf (666,14 From any point of view the 1972-'73 Series of Canada Savings Bonds are a good investment. Barbara Scott and Micheline Piton, -Bank of Canada employees, take a closer look from the top of a $10 million stack of Canada Savings Bonds being, prepared for shipment at the bank's main vault. Last year over_1.6 million Canadians purchased a total of $2,6 billion of Canada Savings Bonds. This marks the 27th year that Canadians have had the opportunity OS purchase CSB's and initial indications are, that the demand will be even greater this year, than last. Since 1946 Canadian have bought over. $34 billion in them.

He could not tolerate existence in a nursing home at this point. He insisted on returning to the small apartment he shared with his wife.

REMEMBE HELP YOUR RED c Oss a Dahlia tops are killed by the° first light frost in. the fall. To .prepare the roots for 'winter etc>rage, these blackened tops should be cut off, about 3, inches above the ground shortly after the frost. The roots can`• stay in the ground for a •few days. However, they must be dug up before a hard frost comes, says D. B. McNeill, horticultural specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. . Use a fork to carefully ease .the. roots out of the ground. Shake the soil off, but do so with care as. the roots are quite brittle. Set the roots in the sun .for a feW hours before' taking them indoors. This softens the roots and makes them easier to handle. Wheit the roots are dried they can be stored in boxes of dry peat moss, sawdust or perloam and stored at 45 degrees. The roots can also be divided at this time an'd stored in plastic bags. However, success in wintering dahlias will be deterthined by maintaining the correct tem- perature and low humidity.
