Times-Advocate, 1978-11-23, Page 27Council to check Fear sewer installation With the impending arrival of Grand Bend’s sewers, there’s a good possibility that some people might attempt to capitalize on the situation and village . council will look into the matter. The matter was broached by councillor Harold Green who said “fly-by-night” operators have been coming into Thedford where sewers are now being installed and asking people if they want their sewer hooked up for what Green called “outrageous” prices. Green said he was con­ cerned about the elderly in Grand Bend. “We’ve got a lot of older people that could be sucked in,” Green stated., Reeve Bob Sharen wondered if the Village could licence sewer in­ stallers. When it was asked if some type of dollar figure could be placed on a sewer installa­ tion, councillor Bill Baird and deputy-reeve Bob Simp­ son pointed out the cost of installing a sewer could vary, depending on the time of year the work was done and the type of building. In a related matter, coun­ cil received a request from Beulah Holt of 22 Main street requesting council’s permission to change the location of her driveway when construction on the sewers begins. Such a change would re­ quire an alteration in the curbing. Council had no objections but added the proviso that Ms. Holt would pay for the cost of new curbing if the ex­ isting curb is not altered by the construction. rxo a Kin1 >1 mm^ AND DISTRICT NEWS Good citizen characteristics feature Institute meeting branch is the main spring of ,the organization.

Roll call was an­ swered by “A poem or verse illustrating characteristics of a good citizen”. The motto "Recognize the good in others, the beauty of friendship, the splendor of love and the joy of service”, was given by Karen. She told praise and appreciation of . another’s work is helpful, and sometimes difficulties helps build character. She quoted a poem from the W.I. Home and Country magazine.

The Women’s Institute in 76 countries two and a half hostesses were Webb and Jean It appears that the village and Stephen township have arrived at an impasse over the payment of interest which the township claims the village owes on the pro­ ject with Stephen taking Grand Bend to small claims court a possibility. Sharen said the firm of Donnelly and Murphy, the village’s lawyers, agreed that Grand Bend should not have to pay the amount. When councillor Keith Crawford questioned the necessity of fighting the matter in the courts, citing the legal fees involved, Sharen said, “It’s a matter of principle” and the village could request payment of costs from Stephen if Grand Bend won. While a recreation program operated by the Grand Bend and area rec committee is growing by “two or three people every week,” according to Craw­ ford, the use of the Ontario Provincial Police office for the program is still under review. Crawford said he had not received word back from the OPP on gaining permission to use the office which the police force rents on a year­ ly basis but only uses for about six months. Sharen said it was his un­ derstanding that the police superintendent responsible for the area had expressed concern over the use of the building by the rec com­ mittee. Council expressed concern that the use of the building could jeopardize the rental arrangement the village had with the OPP. One possibility suggested by Green was that the program could be moved to another location.
