Approve
tender
for new
water
control
plant
LUCAN - After meeting with of-
ficials of the Ministry of the Envi-
ronment and the M.M. Dillon engi-
neering firm, council agreed to
accept the tender of John Hayman
and Sons of London for construc-
tion of the water pollution control
plant.
Kitcsh Vaja of OME told council,
"You should inform the Ontario
Municipal Board that contract costs
to date are up seven percent from
the figures they approved earlier."
Vaja said total costs for the com-
bined water and sewage projects
were now 10.879 million and add-
ed, " I think you should inform the
OMB that costs arc up seven per-
cent, but you shouldn't have any
problem gcuing approval."
Reeve -elect Tom McLaughlin
suggested, " We should go back for
an OMB review process and not ap-
proval, which we already have.
They don't seem to be concerned
with the increases, but with the_
amount of money we will have to
debenture."
Vaja said the OMB would require
information on the amount of re-
serves held by the village and how
much will be committed by prepay-
ment.
To this McLaughlin answered
" According to our recent survey
which was answered by 73 percent
of our property owners, 75 percent
are in favour of prepayment which
will help our finances."
The new receve also said he was
concerned about the provincial gov-
ernment cutting back on funding
for this type of project.
Hisahm Slim of M.M. Dillon said
he felt once government and OMB
approval was received and the con-
tract let, that the funding would
stay in place.
Thep was a j fel nce of opinion
between Vaja and Slim on whether
or not frost traps should be installed
on manhole covers. Vaja said OME
felt they were necessary.
Slim disagreed saying, " This ex-
tra expense which could be as
much as 54,000 is not necessary in
this climate. We know the soil and
we know the climate. We can't
guarantee that they won't heave be-
cause of frost, but I don't think it
will happen."
lie was supported by works su-
perintendent Doug Johnston who
said, " We have more than 150
manholes in the village and we
have never had an upheaval yet."
Although there will be a stoppage
of works on the water and sewer
projects for the winter, the deadline
for works according to the con-
tracts is 55 weeks from the start re-
gardless of weather conditions.
Hotson added, " The clock starts
at the awarding of the contract."
Fund/ng for pavilion may come locally
GRAND BEND - A service club
in the village may be assisting with
the funding of a proposed recrea-
tional pavilion.
Monday night at the Grand Bend
Council, councillor Bill Uniac sug-
OPP called
to two
accidents
EXETER - The Exeter OPP in-
vestigated two traffic accidents this
past week.
Last Monday a vehicle driven by
Mary Davies of RR1 Hensall went
out of control on Concession 2-3 of
Usborne Township and rolled over
in a ditch. Davies received minor
injuries and damage to the vehicle
was severe.
On Friday, a car driven by Art
Hunking of Exeter and a van driven
by Joseph Hippern of Huron Park
collided a the junction of County
Roads 4 and 21. No injuries oc-
curred and damage to both vehicle
was described by police as moder-
ate.
The OPP are reminding motorists
that their RIDE (Reduce Impaired
Driving Everywhere) program spot
checks will be operating at various
locations in Usbome, Hay, and Ste-
phen Townships until January 4.
gested the village put a halt to ap-
plying for a grant to the Ministry of
Tourism and Recreation.
"As it turns out, we've been ap-
proached by a service club to re-
consider the grant," said Uniac.
"It may not be necessary to put
the grant in."
The new pavilion could have
washrooms and a confectionary
area. Uniac said the service club,
who he would not name, was meet-
ing Tuesday night.
Deputy -reeve Shirley Mitchell
said she thought the grant applica-
tion was not just for the pavilion.
"I thought we were going to put a
whole lot of stuff together for the
grant. I thought it was for the whole
master plan," said Mitchell.
Councillor John McDowell was
surprised at how elaborate the pa-
vilion has come since it was first
mentioned.
"Initially we were going to devel-
op a simple structure for the kids to
get out of the rain," questioned
McDowell.
"Unless we do something simple,
it should be tied in with long term
planning."
