Times-Advocate, 1979-02-07, Page 16Page 16 Times-Advocgte, February 7, 1979 River businessmen not ready to petition for sanitary sewer Do another A delegation of business operators along River Road told Grand Bend council Monday they were not will­ ing to sign a petition asking for sanitary sewers along the river. Reeve Bob Sharen told the group of seven that the pur­ pose behind a petition bv the group would be to possibly speed up the installation of sewers along River Road which had been left out in the plans that had been sub­ mitted to the Ontario Municipal Board a couple of years ago and which had received subsequent ap­ proval. Sharen said the other alternative *was for the village to submit the River Road addition to the OMB but by the time approval had been received, the ministry of the environment’s 75 per­ cent subsidy towards the sewers may be off The purpose behind the petition which would re­ quire near unanimous con­ sent of the River Road business people was to speed up the process which could possibly see some financial savings realized. A letter from the Lambton Countv board of Health which was ready to council and the delegation said there was serious health problem along the River Road and said the use of septic tanks combined with high water levels was ‘‘an exercise in futility.” Dick Manore echoed the sentiments of the delegation when he said they agreed there was a need for sewers along River Road but asked why it was up to the business operators in that area to take the iniative. Solicitor Van Laughton speaking on behalf of the group echoed Manore’s statement and said since it was a mistake by the village or their engineers they should look into the matter. Councillor Keith Crawford said he couldn’t see any problem with the initiating of the petition and he “would be happy to go any route suggested by the people should realize the conse­ quences of their actions’’. * Laughton charged that what council had been tell­ ing the group was all based on supposition with there be­ ing very little written com­ munication between the various government bodies indicating the consequences of the slip-up. Laughton said the people along River Road would not sign anything unless they were quarenteed they would not be charged a different rate than the other businesses in the village.

The begin OMB over the matter. In something that came as somewhat of a surprise, the township of Stephen in­ formed the village they were now prepared to enter into a three party agree­ ment with the village and the developer of the Green Forest subdivision with regards to the provision of services. A letter to village council said their delay on such a request was not made as the developer did not have plans finalized. Stephen said they were prepared to meet with coun­ cil to draw up the agree­ ment. Council took no action on the matter. In a move designed to ex­ pedite the removal of snow from the village’s streets, council has requested the Ontario Provincial Police to ticket vehicles parked on the road allowance between midnight and 8 a.m. council said if the vehicles are not moved they will be towed. The London Free Press came in for some criticism from Sharen who said the village has been ignored in the special editions on south western Ontario which the daily publishes periodically. The reeve suggested the Chamber of Commerce be contacted to see if some type of boycott of the Free Press by local advertisers could be arranged. Later, council agreed that a letter be^sent to the Free Press asking that the village be included in any future editions of the local supple­ ment. A copy of the letter will be sent to the Chamber. get you out of the Laughton told coun- village agreed to proceeds with the library survey A Bi-annual survey just released of the Lambton County library system was conducted last September and another survey will be done in April 1979.
