Grand end Still Faces Problem At Dump Though the Township of Bosanquet turned down the of- fer of water supply via the Lake Huron to London pipe- line, cottagers in the area im- mediately south of Grand Bend are still quite interested in ob- taining water, 'especially for fire protection. John Aselstyne, president of the Beach of Pines Protective Association, reports that the association members are pro- ceeding with investigation to- wards obtaining . water from that source. Reeve Orval J. Wassmann an- nounced the move during Grand Bend village council meeting on Monday. Clerk Murray A. DesJardins was authorized to prepare a by-law which will increase the fee for hawkers and peddlers to $100 from the present $50. This will have no effect on farmers peddling •their own produce within the village, but will ap- ply to any persons peddling from door to door, produce which they have purchased for resale. Council was unanimous in a decision to continue to keep the village dump open and in use, riesnite a second notice from Bosanquet council that the dump was closed, as of January 1, 1966, The dump is located about five miles south of the village, on Highway 21, and is in use for the past quarter of a century by villagers, as well as township residents. Reeve Orval Wassmann re- ported that the village would received $1,000 from the County of Lambton under its Municipal Road Improvement plan. This tomes from a special $10,000 fund set up for the purpose of assisting urban municipalities. On the other hand, request from the county for annual levy showed a total of $28,- 881,20, of which $17,540.09 is for roads. The county road nearest to Grand Bend is about 12 miles. The county Ievy will mean an increase of about four mills to residents' tax rate in Grand Bend. Word was received from the federal government that emerg- ency mergency dredging in Grand Bend Harbor would be continued by Canadian Dredge and Dock, which is involved in construc- tion of the Lake Huron to Lon- don pipe -line, and has equip- ment in the harbor.
