Esquesing Council Briefs At Regular Meeting
Esquesing council considered closing a road allowance at Speyside behind Henry Kelly’s property and advised notifying him of procedure and costs. The militia club seeks senior housing so names of interested residents were requested. A $200 grant was approved for Stewarttown cemetery. A lane beside Glen Williams property owned by Mr Giles may be closed with equal division of costs and legal fees. No action on Owen Sound Dutch Elm disease bylaw. Council endorses flood discussion with energy ministry and conservation authority to find cheaper measures for Credit River floods. A weed complaint process was delayed due to the weed inspector’s absence. Context notes recite Calico’s history as a luxury fabric, its English introduction and mass availability after 1599.
