Grand Bend'Counci!
Short of Members
At Regular Session
For the third consecutive
meeting, Grand Bend Village
Council had insufficient numb-
ers present to create a Quorum.
Reeve Orval Wassmann and
councillors Ivan Luther andAl
Parker were the only regulars
that showed up for last Monday's
regular meeting.
Councillor Douglas Martin is
presently holidaying in Florida
and Councillor Ian Coles was
absent presumably due to ill-
ness,
Council received a recom-
mendation from the Ontario
Department of Highways that
the regular road expenditure
bylaw for 1970 be set at $29, 000
being made up of $^l, 000 for
new construction and $8, 000
for road maintenance. Council
gave tentative approval.
In 1069, the regular bylaw was
for $16, 000. Some of the
increase is slated for completion
of the Pollock bridge on Gill
Road that is being constructed
as a joint project with Stephen
Township.
In other business council:
Authorized the attendance
of Reeve Orval Wassmann,
Councillors Ivan Luther and Al
Parker and acting Road Foreman
James Connolly at next week's
annual Good Roads Convention
in Toronto.
Instructed Clerk Martel to
write the necessary manufac-
turers asking for prices on pur-
chase and installation of a
rotating fire siren on the village
fire hal.

Many Dry Holes
Found in Search
For Water Supply
Last year in Ontario approx-
imately 500 dry holes were
reported by drillers looking for
water. Many rural and suburban
homes have an inadequate water
supply because the house was
built before the availability
of water was established.
Professor Ross Irwin, Extension
co-ordinator, School of Agricult-
ural Engineering, University of
Guelph, says that anyone plann-
ing to build in rural areas should
first get an option to drill before
buying land to ensure that
sufficient water is available.
Professor Irwin notes that the
Central Mortgage and Housing
Corporation requires that there
be a water supply equal to five
ballons pumped every minute
efore it will approve a loan to
build under the National Housing
Act, He also points out that the
water supply needed for every
home should be equivalent to 75
gallons per head per day.
Large hones, especially, need
a good well, says Professor Irwin,
and anyone planning to build
should check the supplies for
himself rather than rely on
unconfirmed reports that there
is sufficient water available,
