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.
Sharen told Laughton that

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.
