Community Newspaper Vol. 6, No. 23, Folio 45 Friday, June 4, 1982 Penetanguishene, Ontario Fox St. complex gutted Bay Moorings Dining Lounge left in ruins by Doug Reed Cause of a raging inferno that ripped through and destroyed the Bay Moorings Dining Lounge on Fox Street in Penetanguishene early yesterday morning has yet to be determined by a member of the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office who was called to the scene yesterday by Penetanguishene Fire Chief Ted Light. Fire officials intended to sift through the ruins left in the wake of the terrible blaze in an effort to pin-point the fire's cause which is said to have unofficially caused an estimated $500,000 damage to the popular Fox Street structure and $300,000 to its contents. Details surrounding the stubborn conflagration are still to be sorted out, however it is known the fire was discovered shortly after 2:30 a.m. a short time after a Penetanguishene policeman on patrol had checked that area of town. According to the same policeman, Const. Art Lizotte, "'by the time we got the call and arrived at the scene the north end of the building was all in smoke."' Most members of Penetanguishene's volunteer fire department arrived on the scene seconds later to battle the five- hour-long blaze. eContinued on Page 3 Mopping up This exhausted Penetanguishene one of nearly 30 firefighter was Penetanguishene and battled yesterday firefighters who Midland Sireet ito morning's inferno tha!

Inside who Citizen Half loaf is better than none? by Adrienne Graham Gardner Midland has offered to settle costs awarded to Tiny Township as a result of their attempt to quash the town's Feb. 8 annexation bylaw in the Supreme Court of Ontario. Tiny's Toronto solicitors advised council Wednesday that Midland has offered to settle for $1,500. Tiny had requested $3,000 to cover legal expenses to prepare for the April hearing. Midland withdrew their annexation bylaw before the hearing date, and Tiny was awarded costs by the court. Tiny has the option of accepting Midland's offer or of applying to have costs "taxed"' by the court. The taxation process can take from four to six months, and the amount taxed is usually between one third and one half of the bill of costs submitted. Tiny's legal fees in this case were $2,950. Reacting to the report by Tiny's lawyers, Councillor Ron Hamelin said "'It seems a bit unfair, since we were successful against the Town of Midland." The report on Midland's offer will go to Tiny's finance committee for further review before a decision is made by council on whether or not to accept the $1,500 settlement.
