After Deputyâ€"reeve Lawrence Hennessey suggested council defer action on the application, Mr. Barnard said to defer ac- tion would be ridiculous. Mr. Hall explained the reg- atta would be one of several held across the province by various clubs during the sum- mer and the club required an answer before the schedule of regattas is prepared at a boat- ing federation convention in December. Pepper Pot Lodge Gets License Hydroplane Regatta Next July "We discuss these things for hours and hours and never do anything." charged Mr. Barn- ard. Mrs. Dolores Patterson, lessee of the lodge, toltl council she had investigated the Oakville Hydroplane Club which proâ€" poses to sponsor the regatta under the auspices of the Can- adian Boating Federation and is satisfied the club is a responsi- ble group. Appearing before council to explain the proposal during more than an hour of discussion were Ric Hall, the commodore; Henk Engles. vice-commodore. and Leo Etienne. the regatta chairman “Our discussion was only a preliminary discussion." said Mr. Rowe referring to the October 21 meeting. "We will be having further meetings on this to decide if we want to go as far is this proposal. If we do. it won‘t be a one-shot deal. it will have to be staged We can't afford this kind of money." Dr. Lord added that the scheme had been requested by the township and that it was not part of the MTRCA program. another.

Reeve Stewart Burnett said he was concerned that it would interfere with swimmers, but Mr. Hall assured him that swimmers would not be allowed in the lake while regatta heats were being run. He said more than 100 boats areyexpected to enter, but each of the heats would have a max- imum of 12 boats, and prob- ably less than 12, because of Preston Lake‘s small size. Mr. Burnett told council after the delegation had left that he felt the club should petition residents around the lake to determ- ine whether they favored or would be opposed to the regatta. “That has to be an exercise in futility and frustration." said Mr. Barnard, who said he fav- ored issuing the license al- though he is puzzled why any- one would want to hold a reg- atta on such a small lake. } “While we're talking about it. they are going to go some- !‘Where else and Pepper Pot Lodge will have lost the club's lbusiness," cautioned Mr. Barn- ‘ard. “In any race I was involved in, we were always on big water, I have never seen one on a little puddle. However, the Canadian Boating Federa- tion is well-founded and if they approve of this regatta it will have to be properly run and they will have officials present to see that it is prop- erly run." he said. “This is new to us. they have had all fall to present this to us. but they have waited until the last minute. I think we should defer this and make a decision after we have more facts." said Mr. Hennessey. Mr. Rowe said council is still considering the propos- als of the MTRCA without deciding what the next step will be toward proceeding with the recommended pro- ject or a modified project more in keeping with coun- cil's original thoughts to- ward eliminating a possible hazard to children. “You can‘t win." mused Mr. Rowe. The original plan of ac- quiring the Meadow's prop- erty was to possibly estab- lish a small park in the area where there are deep ponds. Council asked MTRCA to fence the ponds because they were dangerous to children, but residents have objected to completely fil- ling in the ponds are barring access to children who skate on them in winter. United Church Women The general meeting of the UCW was held at the church on November 25. with the Presi- dent Mrs. Fred Hare in charge of the meeting. “If we bend the rules in this case it leaves the door open for dozens of other,” he said. The township bylaw is not required to take responsibility for main- tenance or upkeep or exten- sions of “unassumed” roads. An unassumed road does not meet Department of Highways stan- dards and is not eligible for 50 percent provincial grants. Devotions were led by Mrs. Andrew Annand. and Mrs. Hugh Orser was in charge of the program. Rev. Earle Stotes- bury conducted the election and installation of officers as follows: Past President Mrs. Fred Hare, Fresndent Mrs. Wil- fred James. Vice-President Mrs. Everett Phillips, Secretary Mrs. Norman Hearsome. Treasurer Mrs. Andrew Annand, After- "We‘re very much in symâ€" pathy with your problem but we have several such cases in the municipality and we just haven't got the finances to open all the unassumed roads. The $3,500 figure used by Mr. Jamieson which would complete the road extension would not be enough to bring it up to highway department standards. “We would be required to foot the cost for this and others,” said Councillor Ernest Crossland. “There are a great number of unassumed roads be- sides this one and it would cost us in access of $100,000 to do them all.” “If we didn‘t do this and homes were built on the pro- perty we’d f e1 very guilty if a fire broke on and someone was burnt to death. If we develop this one we’d have to develop them all. We just have to draw the line somewhere.” He cited the necessity to also provide maintenance, police and fire protection. Mr. Jamieson -â€" who has ap- peared before council and other municipal heads a number of times â€" is willing to construct the remainder of the road at a cost of some $3.500 but this is where the problem comes in. Mr. Crossland also pointed out the entire question was against the township’s road policy as outlined in the recent road needs study. “The roads needs study is in direct contradiction to such a policy and we paid a lot of money to have it brought done and it's folly to just ignore it.” The owner. Keith Jamieson of Toronto. has been wanting to build on his property a long Green Lane off Concession 5 but has been stymied.
