However, he explained that in con-
junction with the County Council,
he had been' quite active in plan-
ning the purchase of sites for
parks on the lake front. These
proposed sites would have parking
space for some hundreds of cars
together with other facilities which
appeared tb make them very large
and costly undertakings. I gath-
ered from conversation with the,
Reeve that neither of these sites
was anywhere near a central loca-
tion -for Colborne Township. I
also gathered that the development
of these sites has not passed the
paper stage.
In view of these 'facts I held to
my original view that until such
time as a suitable thoroughfare is
found whereby the local people
can take advantage... of a public
way to the bathing facilities of the
beach, without travelling to the
boundaries or outside of the Town-
ship, then care must be taken not
to irrevocably close any prospec-
tive road.
I found that members of the
Council were quite enthusiastic in
attempting to locate a site Ohere
a path or roadway could be made
without too much expenditure.
