Grand .Bend received official notice from the province Monday night that its sanitary sewer system would be held up. Although council were expect- ing a delay, concern was indicat- ed at the wording of the letter which suggested that the design stage might be approved in 1977. Total 1976-77 government funds have been allocated. A representative of the Klein- feldt Group, a consulting engin- eering firm presently making a proposal to council on storm sewers, said if the design stage takes six months and tenders one to two months, it is unlikely the village would have sanitary sewers before 1978. On the storm sewer program, Kleinfeldt representatives said that the province has indicated will pay fifty percent of the costs of a study but the grant will he forthcoming only when the work is done. Council was told the study would likely cost about S5,500. It could be done either all at once or in stages. "We will have to pay the full cost now and wait until we proc- eed to get a rebate from the province because you (the engin- eers) want your money right away, ' commented finance chair- man Bob Simpson. "There's no way we can do it this year unless we get a special subsidy,:' said Reeve Bob Sharen. "It might be that we won 't be looking at any projects this year,” said Mr. Simpson. "We're probably looking at a good inc- rease in taxes already and I'm referring to the municipal levy, not the county and education levy which we have no control over. Just because the county and board of education put their levies up it doesn 't mean the village should lay down and die. We have to progress at a reason- able rate." "Do we cut recreation proj- ects to do this?" asked councill- or Simpson. "We have to set priorities." "I've got a feeling we're going to be cutting both," said councillor Harold Green, chairman of the recreation com- mittee. Reeve Sharen suggested council have a joint meeting with the recreation committee to discuss proposed projects.
