He claimed that the Village has a legal obligation to open this road-way as part of the terms of a purchase agree- ment entered. into by the Village when it purchased the piece of land across which the road in question would be built. This offer to purchase made early in 1968 by the Village says in part that "the purchaser agrees to install at purchaser's expense a gravel road commencing at Water street and thence easterly-along-the-southern-- boundary of lots 200 and 201 . Said road to be 66 feet wide and completed by June, 1968." . However, the line stip- ulating the date' of-comple- = -tion has been struck from the ~ purchase agreement, and Council feels that because of this it can delay building the road until sufficient funds are available, Acknowledging that the Village "would someday have to build the road," Reeve Robert Kenny {old Dr. Cohoon that in his opinion the Village should not be spend- ing money at this time to (give access to a piece of "private property when other streets in the Village need paving and up-grading. The Reeve added that the com- Complete with accompaniment by a pipe and drum band, delegates from Ontario County attended the 62nd annual meeting of the Ontario Plowmen's Association held recently in Toronto. Ontario County will be the hub of activities in 1975 when they host the * pletion date stipulation was taken out of the purchase offer so that the Village could open the road »in question when funds become available. Dr. Cohoon told Council that he wants the road to his property opened now be- cause he has plans to build boat docking facilities for this summer. Council is aware that Dr. Cohoon has long-range plans to build apartment units on "the property,-bul these are being held up because of the present water shortage, and also pending land use desig- nation in the Village's offi- cial plan. Dr. Cohoon told Council that the boat docking facilities are planned to relieve the financial strain of 16 of Marie Taylor's stu- . dents scored high marks at the annual Sunderland Music 'Festival-- last "week. - Spon- 'sored by the Lions Club it drew participants from a wide area and no less than 6 of her students placed first.

Dr. Cohoon returned to Council on March 7 to ask if some decision had been reached. He said he had three opinions that the Vil- lage could be legally bound to build the road now, though he hoped that an agreement could "be-reached with the Village without pursuing this course. Council said ils lawyer is now studying the matter. In the discussion it was estimated that the | road could cost as much as $5.00, though Dr. Cohoon said it would suffice if the road was simply made passable. Reeve Robert Kenny said no decision would be made until Council had received a report on all the legalities of the matter. : High marks by pupils at Sunderland Music Festival marks.
