Times-Advocate, 1982-04-28, Page 201 Pow. •A Tints-Advocot., April 28, 1982 Expoct decision on new fire hall A final decision may be reached this. week on whether or not to accept and release for tender the designs for a one -storey $70,000 fire hall submitted by Grand Bend contractor Carman Lnvie. Lovie said his designs were approved by the Department of Labour in London April 22 and a fur- ther approval for the roof plans was expected the following day. He said he notified the Grand Bend and area fire committee and was told a meeting to consider his plans wdild be set shortly. Lovie had volunteered two weeks ago to submit his own drawings when the com- mittee was split on the $110,000 two-storey hall designed by Delcan Ltd., the village's engineers. Making the actual drawings took only a few days with the consultation process with the relevant parties taking more time, Lovie said. The 3,200 -square -foot building houses a chief's office, radio and training rooms and washrooms. Lovie said only minor colour schemes for the front remained for the committee to decide on. The steel shell is adequately fire -rated as it exists in the plans, he added. Grand Bend and its neigh- bouring townships of Stephen and Bosanquet have been trying to agree on a new hall for five years. The current building is too small to house the pumper and equipment van together. The firemen have made it known that any building design which offers enough interior space is acceptable to them. • Lovie estimated it would take about a month to build his hall.

At its monthly meeting April 14, the museum committee passed a motion recognizing his wish to retain personal authority over the movements of the artifacts he donated at the museum's inception in' 1978. The motion merely stipulated that the county's bylaw would not take precedence over Walden's agreement: The committee also authorized the sending of a letter of invitation to a group of government MPs .scheduled to pass through the Chemical Valley on a fact-finding mission on the petroleum industry. They will be invited to visit the Oil Discovery Museum in Oil Springs while in the area this week. Oil Springs is the home of North America's first successful oil well. Subsequent to last month's meeting, the committee sent a letter of request to the county's development commission for money to pay for a member to take part in a weekend •promotional market place to publicize the' county's two museums. To be held in Chatham May 7 and 8, the event is sponsored by the Southwestern Ontario Travel Association and will be at- ' -tended by the influential Michigan Auto Club.
