Many Problems Faced By Grand Bend Council at Regular April Meeting Grand Bend—It was a free- wheeling session of Grand Bend Village Council on Monday night, which lasted 414 hours, and dealth with recreation, health, police, a centennial pro- ject, water, daylight saving time, another rest room on the beach and some other problems as well. A letter from the senior room of the Grand Bend Public School was the only one re- ceived in answer to requests for a centennial project. Prin- cipal W. McNaughton suggested on behalf of his class, that some kind of recreation area would be a good plan., with picnic tables available to the public. Daylight Saving Time will be adopted by the village on April 26, at 12:05 a.m. and will con- tinue until October 25 a.m. These times co-incide with those decided upon in both Exeter and Forest, where secondary school students from Grand Bend attend. Some discussion was held on this topic. In favour of remain- ing on Standard Time, Council- lor Ian Coles ezerearked that there were a good many people corning to the village for the week -end from London and they would have time to come here for the evening meal and some shopping. He estimated that the extra start on installation of mains for a municipal water system in the village of Grand Bend, were dashed almost completely' this week, when lack of time makes it impossible to get red tape cleaned away in order to install the mains prior to the High- ways 21 and 81 paving program. The citizens water committee headed by Dr. E. A. McMaster last Wednesday approached the Ontario Department of High- ways, the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission and the Ontario Municipal Board in the hopes of getting permission to go ahead immediately with mains and laterals along and under Highway 21. of joyous spectators are at least a dozen members of the team, as they tried to make their way to the dressing room. A crowd estimated at over 1200 attended the game, and went home happy. HensalRouncil Discusse (by Jessie Cameron) On April 6 the Hensel Coun- cil met in the council chambers with Reeve Norman Jones pre- siding. William Mickle appear- ed on behalf of the Agricultural Society, to ask for a grant for 1964. Robert Rowcliffe was present in regard to the Moir drain, and to ask who would be responsi- ble for payment. Mr. Rowcliffe said he believed the town was responsible. He added that if the drain had been hooked up right in the first place, it would work. He further stated that everyone on the north side has had trouble with drains since it was put in. Reeve Jones said it must have been hooked up right, because it worked for two years without trouble, also that a lot of the trouble with drains on the north side was roots, detergents, etc. Councillor Harold Knight sug- gested the only way to settle the mater would be to have Ernie Davis dig it up and see if it's hooked up right. Council was in agreement. It was further stated by coun- cil that drains should not be fixed first, and then the bill presented to council. The com- plaint should be Put before the council for approval before the work is done. Ernie Davis reported cleaning streets until the weather turned bad. He also reported on drains that needed repairing on Nelson St. and Richmond St. South, at Moirs'. He further reported that the dump road was in bad shape and needed gravel. Councillor Fred Broadley re- ported he had been investigat- ing the price of street signs. He said the one price quoted him was $13.60 plus tax, and that the signs were aluminum and double faced. Reeve Jones said it was no use putting up cheap signs or they would have to be replaced too often. The mater was left for further in- vestigation. Correspondence from Aux- sauble River Conservation stat- ed that Hensall share would be $1,014.99; from Department of Highways, stating they had no record of Hensall council ask- ing for a beacon light for the intersection of Highways 4 and 83. (This •drew laughs from those present as •council has been after this light for quite some time.) The letter further stated that with the intersection so well lit up, they doubted whether the traffic engineers would approve a light. A letter was also received .1." • Drain from E. L. Mickle and Sons, asking about the liability ar- rangements, free movement ef traffic, and hydro interruptions, in regard to the conveyer to be built • over Wellington St. by Cooks' Mill, to adjacent prop- erty. In the agreernent, Cooks' must have $500,000 liability insur- ance. The •conveyer is to be built 25 feet high and it will in no way interfere with the 66 - foot road allowance. The agree- ment will expire in 25 years. The conveyer will have to be inspected every five years, at Cooks' expens e. Councillor Broadley suggested that the blueprints, when submitted for a building permit, be approved by a qualified engineer. Motions 1. That the reeve ask the public utilities commission for their share in the auditing. 2. Daylight saving time to be- gin on April 26, at 1 a.m. 3. That the clerk •call for tend- ers for paving Brock, Mill, Elizabeth and Queen streets. 4, That a grant for $75 be given to the South Huron Agricul- tural Society, also a $200 grant be given to the rec- reation committee. Building permits were grant - Farmers' Night leave Michigan on Standard Time to arrive here on Daylight Saving Time, and thus lose one hour. Reeve Stewart Webb com- mented that the village had tried this idea once before for about ten days, seven years ago. The confusion had persuaded the village to return to Day- light Saving Time almost imme- diately. Councillor 0. Wassmann felt he would like to see Standard Time tried again. Councillors Howard Green and E. Desjar- dine voted in favour of going to Daylight Saving Time and Reeve Webb declared the mo- tion passed. It was at this time that a small altercation broke out be- tween Wes and the Reeve. When Coles tried to say some- thing more on the subject. Reeve Webb told him ho blabbed all the time for noth- ing. Coles said that he didn't blab for nothing. Webb said, "You do blab for nothing. And when it's all over there's nothing to it." Coles said. "That's because we talk to deaf ears. You won't listen. And you, Mr. Reeve, have a lot to learn."

Mr. Miles told the gathering of the changes which could be expected to come about in the next five years on the farms. He warned farmers that they would have to keep up with the changes, if they wished to re- main in business. The speaker was introduced by V. L, Becker, and thanked by Russell Grainger.

Caldwell, Horton, 11.Scane, H. Jones and H. Keys, to renovate their homes. Accounts in the amount of Both the Highways Depart- ment and the OWRC were agreeable. However, the On- tario Municipal Board does not see its way clear to make this village an exception to regula- tions. Before giving approval to the installation of mains as planned along the highways prior to the paving which is expected to be- gin on May 15, a complete esti- mate of costs on the water sys- tem would have to be presented to the Municipal Board by the village council. Then details would have to be published in a local paper for two consecu- tive weeks, and then a public hearing would have to be held in order to discover if there are any people with objections to the system. Then the Municipal Board would be in a position to make a decision on whether or not the village could enter into the beginnings of a municipal water system. With less than 38 days to go before the deadline of May 15, by which the construction firm is to have grades, gutters and curbing ready for pavement, it is an impossible task. ed to Cooks' Mill to build a silo; $3,570.04, were passed.
