Mr. Russell was admitted July 22 to the hospital with injured ribs and abdomen. The following admi,ttarices all occurred July 23.

James Henderson, 812 King Street, Waterloo apparently lost control of the vehicle he was driving and rolled it. Mr. Hender- County will not give up Osborne gravel pit rights By Shirley J., Keller Huro l unty Council voted not to give t'f the rights to a gravel pit in Usborne Township despite the objections of Usborne Town- ship Reeve . Bill . Morley who claims the county is being "un- failr". At a recent meeting in the council chambers in Goderich, It was learned that Raymond Cann of Usborne Township had re- quested the county to sign a Quit Claim Deed releasing the coun- ty's interests in about three -acres of land on Lot 26, Conn 7 of the Township of Usborne. The agree- ment, signed May 31, 1931, gave the county„ the rights to remove gravel from the property "start- ing from the tree by the side of the laneway". The sum of $1,000 was paid to John Cann, at that time, owner of the property. , According to the Huron County 'Road Committee, the agreement had no time limit and since it has been estimated that as much as 100,000 cubic yards of gravel is on the site, it was agreed not to sign the Quit Claim aced and to exer- cise the county's rights to remove gravel. "This seems.a little bit unfair," Reeve Morley argued. He said that at today's prices for gravel, the agreement is definitely to the county's advantage. He suggest- • ed it would be in the county's best interests to sign the Quit Claim Deed. Jim Britnell, county engineer, disagreed. He said the $1,000 was a good price at the time the agreement was made ..and that the county has every right now to exercise the agreement. Britnell felt that to sign the Quit Claim Deed would be against the coun- ty's best interests since gravel is so expensive at the present time. The engineer admitted that in 21 years in the county's ernp'.oy, he had not known about the agreement. He said that if Ray- rnond Cann had not asked for a Quit Claim Deed, the county still would not have known the gravel belonged to them. Reeve Morley said the owner of the property, William Cann, had recently died; but added that the deceased was under the impres- sion before his death that the o• agreement was no longer 'in ef- fect. Reeve Morley said it was the intention of William Cann's widow to give the . township sole rights to the gravel on the prop- erty, at the going rate. ' Britnell said there had been. no offer of money made for the re- lease of the agreement. He said the committee was agreed the agreement was worth a good deal of money'to the county, and that it would be good business to exercise the county's rights to the gravel there. Reeve Bob Lyons, chairman of the road committee said, "I don't think the county can afford to give away $65,000. By exercising this agreement, the county would be saved e considerable amount of money." John Jewitt, reeve of Hullett said, "It appears to the it is our gravel and I don't see how we can just give it up." Si Simmons, reeve of Exeter, suggested an agreement without an expiry date can be broken. Britnell said he was unaware of that. "There have been two generations and this estate has not been settled," Reeve Jack Tinney said. "The agreement was made- with John Cann and stated 'his heirs and assigns'. To me, that sounds like forever." Britnell told council there may be some negotiations that could be considered between the road committee and the solicitor for the widow. of William Cann, but pointed out it was up to council to decide on the matter'. Council made no mention of any negotia- tions to be undertaken when ap- proving the report as presented. In other business, members of Huron County Council hired an engineer to replace Jim Britnell who is leaving the county employ this summer. Robert Alexander Dempsey, who was born and raised in the Stratford area, and who is presently deputy city engi- neer for the City of Stratford, was hired effective August 29, 1977. His salary will be $25,000 per anfium and he will have a car supplied by the county. That sal- ary is to increase to $26,500 per annum on January 1, 1978. Mr. Dempsey is 28 years old and has been active in, the Kins- men ¢. Club and community affairs in Stratford. Grant of s384,898 is promised for new Bemore arena Howiclk Township is to receive a Wintario grant of up to $384,898 to aid in the costs of replacing the Belmore arena and community centre, the culture and recreation ministry announced recently.
