Grand Bend considering
four truck tenders received
Grand Bend council decided to
request the opinion of the county
engineer before making a
decision concerning the four five -
ton truck tenders received by last
Friday's deadline. The decision
was made at council's regular
meeting Monday night.
Hugh Picard, Reeve of
Thedford, and one of his coun-
cillors attended the Grand Bend
meeting to enquire about .pur-
chasing the village's old truck
and snowplow.
Mr. Picard said Thedford has
spent $8,000 so far this year on
snow removal and the purchase
of Grand Bend's truck would be a
boost to them.
The village council said they
were willing to sell the truck to
Thedford provided they would
pay the trade-in price of $2,000
suggested by at least one of the
tenders.
Mr. Picard is taking this price
to his council and will inform
Grand Bend of their decision.
Grand Bend has "fired" the
Humane Society so to speak as
they feel they are not getting the
service they should.
Clerk Louise Clipperton in-
formed council she has contacted
the London Humane Society
concerning terminating their
work in the village. The Society in
turn recognized the problem the
village was having with their
representatives and informed the
clerk they are trying to rectify
the situation and wondered if
council would be interested in
giving them another try at that
time.
The main complaint the village
had concerning the activities of
the Humane Society was the fact
the dog catchers sent by them
would only do things in one
specific way and often informed
the clerk they could not do as
requested because "it wasn't
their job."
Reeve Sharen also informed
council several complaints have
been received concerning the
antics of one dog in particular
who is allowed to run free every
morning and gets into garbage
regularly as well as dogs running
in packs.
Council agreed something must
be done, and are considering
alternatives.
Council approved the grading
of Gibbs Park at a cost of $75 and
the repair of the one ton truck.
An application was made to the
Ministry of Transportation and
Communications (MTC) to paint
the pavement markings, clean
the catch basins and have the
Main Street and the Highway
swept by the MTC sweeper.
