muir book which has a hand -tooled leather cover de-
signed by the late Wilda Campbell. The front cover of
the book is the Fordwich WI crest while the back cover
is a design of trilliums and maple leaves.
Town Council Sho
Jack Van Camp, public
works foreman, has been
appointed as chief building
official for the town of
Wingham. This gives him
authority to issue building
permits and enforce building
bylaws.
The action was taken by
town council Monday night
after a report from the
planning board pointed out
that under town bylaw
former works commissioner
Mike Chappell was still the
chief building official.
The board repOrted that
the Building Code Act
requires that the
municipality appoint such an
official, who then becomes
responsible for issuing
permits and enforcing
building bylaws and
statutes.
The chief official may be
required to report to council,
but council does not have the
authority to approve or
reject permit applications.
Councillor Jim . Currie
objected to this procedure,
declaring isn't right that
the town could be held
responsible for a decision
made by the chief building
official when council doesn't
have any part • in, „ the
decisions.
Council also agreed to
enroll Mr. Van Camp in the
Association of Building
Officials of Ontario and
provide time off and ex-
penses for him to attend
courses and seminars of-
fered by the association.

Mrs. Bill McCool on
Friday evening celebrated
another milestone in her life
with a house party on her
birthday, attended by many
dear neighbors and friends.
This was 'followed on
Saturday and Sunday by
dinner parties with out-of-
town relatives and friends.
The P.H.A.M, ,celebrated
their 40th reunion at the
home of Mrs Robert Rae in
London on Monday, June 8
aimed at designating several
buildings ashistorical
beildings..This would make
them eligible for heritage
grants to assist with repair
work.
The first resolution
designates the old, post office
huilding, scheduled. for
repairs this 'summer, as a
heritage building.
The second lays the
groundwork for a local archi-
tectural conservation advis-
ory committee (LACAC) to
look at other buildings, such
as the town hall, which also
could be so designated.
The LACAC would' be a
group of interested citizens
which would prepare studies
of buildings and areas in
town and make recom-
mendations • to council
concerning the designation
of heritage buildings and
repairs to them. Grants for
renovations would be made
through this committee. .
Councillor Pat Bailey
proposed a motion Monday
night to reinstate Gordon
Carter as town caretaker
and hire a part-time
assistant to help him,
However Councillor Bill
Crump pointed out the
motion was out of order since
Mr. Carter still holds that
position. "We can't reinstate
him because he's never been.

Mrs. Bailey reported she
has had "about 30" com-
plaints from townspeople
about council's plan to call
tenders on, the cleaning of
town buildings instead of

hiring its own caretaker as in
the past. Mr. Carter likes his
job and is deeply concerned,
she said.
Councillor Tom Miller,
chairman of the property
committee, pointed out that
no decision has been made
yet on, the matter. "We're
not necessarily going to
accept any tenders. We'
haNien't decided yet." •
Councillor Jerry Chomyn
added that the committee
still is in the process of
sorting through the tenders
and plans to interview the
people who bid on the job,
including Mr. Carter.

The ' town is asking its
solicitor to look into the
ownership. of the so-called
'tot lot' in Maitland Estates,
to see who is responsible for
cleaning it up.
Reeve Joe Kerr reported
he received three complaints
on the weekend that water in
the drainage ditch was
getting deeper and some
parents were afraid a child
might drown in it. The town
has installed a snow fence
beside the ditch, but children
still can get around the end
of it.
Council decided to try an
settle the question of owner-
ship before proceeding
further. If the town' owns it, it
will clean up the lot; if it still
belongs• to the 'developer, the
town will notify him to clean
it up, or will takeaction itself.
and then bill him. .

Council also is asking its
Solicitor to clear up a dispute
over ownership of 1,8 feet of
land betweenItiverside Park
-and the flax barn property at
the end of Patrick Street
purchased'by Jim Currie.
The most recent survey
appears to show that Mr.
Currie owns the land, which
now is part of the park,
hoyever a solicitor's letter to
the town indicated that claim
to ownership is rather vague.
The town now is asking
whether a new survey would
help to resolve the'dispute.
Councillor Jerry Chomyn
reported the parks board
still is "adamantly opposed"
to giving up the .property,
noting it would leave a chunk
of land jutting out into the
park right beside the new
picnic shelter.
Mr. Currie left the council
chambers while the matter
was being discussed.
