Zurich Citizens News, 1976-04-07, Page 11Cham ber must pay own way: GB council Citizens News, April 7/76 - Page 11 Grand Bend village council is maintaining its policy that proj- ects which will be of benefit mainly to the municipality's business section must be funded . from that source, namely the Grand Bend and Area Chamber of C'ommeree. At a meeting of council Monday night, council were sympathetic. In fact council granted the Cham- ber free use of the beach parking lot for the second annual Buffalo - burger Fest in June and also authorized the village works department to assist with garbage removal. At the same time, council warned Chamber representatives Bert Albertson and Al Best that assistance from council must be curtailed in the future, simply because the municipality doesn't have the dollars to provide. Later in the meeting, discuss- ing a letter from the Chamber indicating that it didn't want to share in the cost of keeping public washrooms open later in the suninter evenings, council indicated that if the Chamber wanted things done in the future, it would have to be prepared to do it on its own. "The Chamber is doing a sup- er job but the village just can't afford to support the Chamber that much," councillor Bob Simp- son told the Chamber reps. "It all seems to be going one way and the tax situation is such that the Chamber's grant may be cut.'

The matter was first discussed - when superintendent Jim Coulter asked that principals be per- mitted to submit accounts for expenses so incurred as overages to the individual school's budget. Budget chairman John Elliott was the first to object saying he felt tine budget committee should be involved for extra spending.

Hc was supported by South Huron Principal J.L. Wooden who was in attendance. Wooden commented, "Sometimes there is no time lag at all. Entries must be made to WOSSA the same day you win Huron -Perth." Last year's board chairman Wilfred Shortrced supported paying any expenses incurred. He added, "Take the Goderich drama club for instance. They put in a lot of work. It's only fair that we support them to the top. It' we curtail everything our youth are interested in then we are in trouble." Superintendent Jinl Coulter said expenses in most cases are kept to a minimum.
