cuss the construction of three
more houses, in addition to the
eleven houses nearing completion
at Vanastra.
Among the reasons given for
the new entranceway was the
need for ready access to Vanastra
for fire protection and to provide
more direct routes for commerical
outlets to improve business for
them.
He referred to the recent
closure of the 5th Avenue en-
trance off No. 4 Highway because
of the hazardous road conditions
it created when it was located on
the slope of a hill. Police and
Ministry of Transportation 'and
Communications officials asked
for the closing of the dangerous
entrance this past winter,, the
scene of numerous accidents.
Mr, Guest said to locate the
entrance. Tuckersmith would
require the agreement of Ontario
Hydro to use its access road into
its property.
Reeve Elgin Thompson ques-
tioned 'NO -tether Ontario Hydro
officials would share this en-
trance.
Mr. Guest suggested a 66 -
foot wide strip through his lot
from 7th Avenue to the Ontario
Hydro road would he satisfactory
providing Hydro agrees.
Mr. Guest said he thought the
officials would agree. "I can't

see why the Hydro entrance
should not be closed off too when
Sth Avenue was. The danger is
there, whether its Ontario Hydro
or Sth Avenue."
Reeve Thompson agreed to
approach Hydro officers for a
meeting to discuss the proposal.
In other business Council
agreed to provide permits for two
of the three houses to be built by
Harold White Homes of St.
Thomas as requested by Mr.
Guest. Don Perry, manager of
the firm, was at the meeting with
drawings showing the location of
the houses. He will return for
the approval of the permit for
the other when more work is
completed on the plans.
Council agreed the new houses
going up could be located nearer
the front of the property to be
more in line with existing houses
than regulations call for. Reeve
Thompson said the present
houses were too close to the
roadway but four feet farther
back for the new houses would
be all right instead of the re-
quired 25 feet and would then not
detract from the appearance of
the street.
In order to get an extra lot on
the street Mr. (;ucst agreed to
widen an existing road by paving
some of his property to avoid
snow disposal problems.

counts totalling. $271,059.20;ro-

Don McLean and John Cullen
of the Vanastra water plant
operating staff of the ministry
of the environment were appoint-
ed inspectors for the installation
of water meters in all Vanastra
properties.
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Bridge of
Vanastra, who were at the meet-
ing, expressed their concern for
several open holes connected
with the former heating system
at Vanastra when it was an air -
base, that are a danger to child-
ren especially. They reported
their dog fell into one last winter
and its body only discovered this
week.
"We haven't lost a child yet.
but we may," Mrs. Bridge said.
Reeve I hompson informed the
press representative at the meet-
ing that the township will not
impose the $200 building permit
fee for new houses as planned
at the last session of council,
or "site plan charge" as Clerk
James McIntosh called it. No
reason was given for their change
of mind.
