After the open meeting, Stephen council met separately and decided to ask Grand Cove Estates to assure they wpuld take Tuesday's meeting was called as •the result of a visit to the Ministry office in Toronto by the two townships asking for an area project, At that time a quick report on costs of a treatment plant was ordered. Timko said he was amazed at the recent request. He added, "At the last meeting in Grand Bend on June 4 we had a request from Grand Bend for a system for themselves since no subsidies were available for developers in the townships," He presented costs for both a lagoon system and treatment plant. He said the costs of a treatment plant would be staggering and read the report which suggested location of the When will the proposed sanitary sewers project become a reality in Grand. Bend? The answer is still clouded after a special meeting Tuesday afternoon between officials of the village and the townships of Stephen and Hay and representatives of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. John Timko of the Ministry said almost a year would be needed for engineering design and almost the same time for construction from the time the go-ahead is given by the village council, That go-ahead was not for- thcoming Tuesday as council split 2-2 on a resolution to ask the Ministry to proceed. Board rejects late bus for Seaforth HS students Central Huron Secondary School, Clinton, Mr. Henderson asked for a late bus for the 130 students who attend the Clinton school to take special options, and who are unable to participate in extra curricular activities after school due to bus schedules. He asked the board to consider allowing one bus to depart at 4:15 p.m. daily instead of the usual departure at 3:15 p.m. He said the present early leave was because of an exchange of buses at Walton which transported them to their homes. Because of this bus exchange, he reminded the board members, it was saving the board over $7,000. He said the cost of the late express bus to Seaforth would cost less than $2,000, "a very nominal fee for the amount of money being saved. I feel these children have a full right to these activities." Several trustees expressed concern that if a late bus was provided for Seaforth area students, others would demand the same service. care of all of the costs necessary in providing oversize pipe for the Grand Bend system. Grand Coves located just north of Grand Bend in Stephen is establishing a lagoon of their own but under provincial regulations must hook onto any municipal system when it becomes available. Timko assured everyone that when a solid report is made an Ontario Municipal Board hearing will be ordered to answer any objections, He added, "the hearing will look at the needs for the works and the financial capabilities of the municipality." Doug Martin asked Timko what would happen if the village refused the entire project? Timko's answer was, "we would wash our hands of the whole thing. It would be turned over to our enforcement law and you would probably be ordered to put a system in on your own. This move would give you the headaches, Remember the province is footing 75 percent of the bill," In a private session of Grand Bend council a motion by councillor Webster and Reeve Sharen to proceed with the project was defeated by coun- cillors Martin and Des Jardins. Councillor John Teevins was not present. By MRS, HAMILTON HODGINS Mr, & Mrs, Gerald Hern spent the weekend at their cottage at Nine Mile Lake, Howard Morley, Hazel Park, Michigan spent Saturday night with Mr. & Mrs. Bill Morley. Mrs, Larry Hern attended a shower for her sister Donna on Friday night at the home of Mrs. Stanley Campbell, London Township. Mr. & Mrs. Lloyd Elliott, Lucan visited Sunday with Mr. & Mrs. Cleve Pullman. Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Nixon and family, Granton were Sunday supper guests with Mr, & Mrs. Larry Herm Mr, & Mrs. Ernest Ferguson visited Sunday afternoon with Mr. & Mrs. David Hord, Strathroy. $200,000 by waiting four months, Another year and it will probably be over three million," Asked by councillor Doug Martin as to the possible post for each home, Timko replied; "we can't give a rate if we don't know what you want," Mike Latta, another Environment official said the cost per annum to each home owner could be as high as $200, Previous hearings had determined that if a lagoon system for the summer resort was to be installed the lagoon would be installed on the Ausable Concession in Stephen township. Stephen councillor Dave McClure argued it was foolish to use 106 acres of good farm land for a lagoon. To this Timko replied "we didn't hear any complaints from the township when close to 100 acres of equally good farm land was used by Grand Coves Estate for housing development." In backing the treatment plant idea, Stephen deputy-reeve Cecil Desjarcline said the plant at Huron Park was taking care of 1,200 residents without any problems. Timko answered this with, "they have a steady population as opposed to Grand Bend's fluctuating population and a very high sewage load especially on summer weekends," plant somewhere in the Southcott Pines area and the cost of 2 acres of land was estimated at $10,000. This figure was scoffed at by those in attendance saying one lot in the subdivision was worth that much. Timko alsp disagreed with the report which he only received from the engineer Monday af- ternoon, He said in a residential area at least 12 acres was necessary to provide enough buffer zone. Timko argued that a plant would need to be at least that far south of the Lake Huron water plant at Port Blake because sewage pipes would go at least 1,500 feet into the lake and they must be at least that far from water intake pipes. He said construction of a treatment plant would cast about $200,000 more than a lagoon system and operation costs could be higher by $35,000 per year. The cost of construction of a sewer system for Grand Bend alone using a lagoon is estimated at 2.8 million dollars. A report about four months ago to cover not only Grand Bend but possible expansion into three niegh- bouring townships showed costs at 2.6 million which included oversize pipes. At this point, GB councillor Tom Webster said, "Let's get our own show onthe road. It's cost us An increase of approximately 18 percent was awarded by the Huron County Board of Education to the 18 bus con- tractors transporting students for the 1974-75 school term at a meeting of the board in Clinton, Frdiay, "It's a fair settlement," stated R, B. Dunlop, business ad- ministrator, "The Huron board is right in the middle, not the highest, not the lowest of other area boards," An offer by McKillop Township Council was approved to supply snow plowing services at the turning area at Winthrop, at the rate of $12 per hour or a minimum charge of $6. The board approved a request from Leslie Habkirk, Seaforth, asking for approval of the merger of Habkirk Transit Service Limited with L&H Coachways of Simcoe and Lishman Coach Lines of Kitchener, to be known as United Trails Inc. An Ad Hoc Transportation committee will examine the legality and general feasibility of limiting the size of an operator's bus fleet operating in Huron County, J. P. Alexander, Wingham trustee said, "I feel the board has a right to know who is buying their bus routes." A proposal by John Henderson, RR 5, Seaforth was turned down twice to alter bus service for Seaforth students attending The board defeated his motion by a vote of 7 to 6 when the proposal was made in the regular business and 6 to 5 (two trustees left early) when the question was re-examined at the conclusion of the meeting at Mr. Henderson's request. the student council plaque are Shirley De Vries, Cathy Simmons, Anne Pinder, Mike Miller, Brian Tuckey and Dennis Doidge.
