suggested that any delay
was not being created by
council. “At no time did
council hold back (on the
project)”, he commented.
Mayor Derry Boyle said
he didn’t agree with Gray’s
contention that the town
could resell the lot without a
loss at a later date if the
project did fall through.
He said the lot wouldn’t be
of much value to the town if
it wasn’t used for parking
purposes.
Cameron suggested that if
there was some concern
about meeting the deadline
(February 15) set by the lot
owners for its purchase, it
wouldibe logical for a group
of businessmen to buy the
property in anticipation of
the parking project going
though.

Council, however, agreed
not to file the letter as blunt-
ly as Simmons had
suggested. They decided to
write Gray and ask himvto
expedite the necessary
agreements for the parking
project to proceed.
In other business, council:
Learned that the ministry
of transportation and com
munications would be
. providing subsidies of up to
$92,000 this year, $49,400 for
construction and $42,600 for
maintenance.
Agreed to appoint the 15

provement Area, but noted
that several would require
letters approving their
status as appointments from
limited companies.

town vehicles and buildings,
rather than having them

be much cheaper than pain
ting.

While there may be a festive
event taking place in the
middle of June in Grand
Bend it won’t be known as
Buffaloburger fest.
Grand Bend Chamber of
Commerce secretary-ma
nager Bob Simpson told
council ’ Monday the name
will be changed to
“Burgerfest”due to the high
cost of Buffalo meat.
Otherwise things remain
much the same, with a few
new events being added.
The focal point of the
weekend, the beer tent will
remain the same size and
will be featuring the music of
the Irish band the Molly
MaGuires for both Friday
and Saturday.
The bed races which
proved to be such an over
whelming success in 1978
will be broken into senior
and junior divisions this
year, Simpson reported.
The course for the race
will be altered with the
starting point to be the
corner where Flears’
Bakeshop is located. The
racers will not traverse
Government Road as was
the case last year.
Sharen told Green the
purpose behind Simpson’s
appearance before council
was to seek approval in
principle for the weekend
and that the details could be ”
worked out a later date.
Two additions to the
program will be a road race
of between five and ten miles
and a square dance com
petition to be held Saturday
morning at the roller rink.
In addition, a tourist
“train” will give tours of the
village on the weekend.
Tours of the Lake Huron
pumping station and the
skydiving exhibition will be
featured once again.
Both Simpson and Sharen
agreed one of the main
problems in past years was
the lack of communication
between the village and the
Chamber over the project.
Simpson agreed to Sharen’s
suggestion that he be put
automatically on the agenda
for the second council
meeting of each month.
• “This year, we’re going to
make you aware of what is
happening”, Simpson stated.
