"We've pretty well settled the budget and it looks definitely like we will have a zero increase in taxes this year," said Simpson, The final budget figures have not been settled as yet, Simpson said, there may have to be some further juggling to keep the tax increase at zero. Deputy reeve Simpson did say the construction budget for the year has been set at $4,000 with the village to start construction and do as much as the money will allbw. Top priorities are the tarring and chipping of Morenz Lane and Hieman Drive with Gibbs Park running a close third. Gibbs Park has already been graded and gravelled, The village foreman Gary Desjardine is also working on getting the beach parking lot in good shape and council authorized him to proceed with the repairs to the boat ramp and the docks. Clerk Louise Clipperton in- formed council she checked into the costs off 25 mph signs and they are basically the same cost as the 30 mph signs. However, in a 25 mph zone, the signs must be posted every 1,000 feet whereas in a 30 mph zone they need only be posted every 3,000 feet. Councillor Bill Uniac said he found out the Pinery and Grand Bend police detachments issued 660 speeding tickets last year and all were on the main highway, not on the sidestreets. The United Church women of the afternoon unit held their Easter meeting, Thursday af- ternoon in The Sunday School rooms of the church, Fourteen members and four visitors attended. Roll Call was answered with an Easter verse. Mrs. Ed. Gill was in charge of the worship service and opened with an Easter poem, Mrs. Olive Miller, accompanied by Mrs. Elaine Moore on the piano, sang the solo part of "He Arose from the Grave," with all joining the chorus. Council's general opinion seemed to be it would be better to go with the metric equivalent of 30 mph than the present 25 mph as they would then be able to eliminate close to half the signs presently in the village, No motions were passed to this effect however. An offer to purchase the three ton truck owned by the village was received from the Thedford council. The offer was in the amount of $2,000 and council agreed to sell the vehicle as is for that amount. Council authorized the Chamber of Commerce to hold their Buffalo Bugerfest again this year as a community project. Councillor Harold Greene reported the Chamber has not yet requested permission to use the parking lot and expressed the wish they would do so soon if they wish to use it. A sign permit was endorsed by council for the commercial establishment of Max's on Oak Street with the condition the new sign does not have any flashing lights. Council felt the flashing lights would be too annoying to residents in the area even though that area is zoned commercial. Councillor Harold Greene reported the recreation com- mittee has had received 12 ap- plications for the positions of lifeguards for the summer. These have been narrowed to seven and interviews will be carried out soon. Also the dockperson hired for this season is Cathy Pilgrim and the heat house attendent is Irene Gill, Mrs. Gill's topic was on Jesus and the disciples. She read a short story of the life of each disciple, with several members, alternating with scripture verses. President, Mrs: Eleanor Durie presided for the business. Several crib quilts were handed in at this meeting to go in the layette to Children's Aid at Goderich. Four were made by Mrs. Greta Luther and her mother, Mrs. Ettie Baker, and one by Mrs. Iva Latta. Lunch hostesses were Mrs. Alec Hamilton and Mrs. Raymond Kading. Orval Wassmann attended the council meeting to make two requests, He made a request on behalf of Thompson and Warner to rent part of the parking area owned by the municipality on the north side of 81 highway to display boats. Several council members will meet with him on the site to consider the request further, Mr. Wassmann also asked if there was a possibilityof building a loading well for lifting large boats in and out of the water, He has a travel lift in mind and feels it would be of great benefit to the village. Mr, Wassmann said the demand is.there and the well as he proposes would handle anything up to 44 feet, The possibilities will be discussed by council before the next meeting, RichardSwan a resuscitator,air pacs, etc, salesman was on hand to give a demonstration of his company's products to council and firemen from Grand Bend, Bosanquet and Stephen town- ships. Having seen the equipment council requested the firemen consider what it is they feel they require and report to council as soon as possible. A request from the Sarnia- Lambton Centre for Children and Youth for a grant of $400 was turned down, The Ministry of Culture and Recreation informed council they have received their applicatin for lifeguard assistance under Experience '77 and will inform council by May 12 if aid will be forthcoming, Council endorsed a resolution from the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority con- cerning the new safety regulations for chainsaws. The new regulations say any chain saw without anti-vibration devices and chain brakes should be replaced. Since the Authority has a large number of chain saws without these safety features they are requesting the new regulations be applied to replacement equipment only,
