REFEREE RESERVES, SCRAP COLLECTION TO
BE. HELD NEXT MONDAY,
ARAN JUDGMENT
A contentious drainage problem
in Kinloss Township; which 'has
been hanging fire now , for about
four years, was the subject of a
two-day hearing in Walkerton last
week; presided over . by: Ontario.
Drainage Referee; McNiyen of Chat -
Judgment was :reserved by .the.
Referee and will probably be hand=
ed down within a .month's time. '
Theiatter Was brought to a head •
and the hearing proceeded with
upon the appeal of Mr. Ernest Ack e
ert to have the .original drainage•by-
law' proceeded with, and an action
entered -to -recover damages•-c-laired.-
to be caused by the improper work-
ing of the drain.
It's an involved matter, which we
do not intend to atte etpt to explain,
and the details of which' are fen,
iliar to Kinloss ratepayers, espec-
ially those assessed in:the drainage
scheme. •
The "ditch" has been the Subject
of many heated debe es, • and if
memory serves us, tl 'Zief reason•
•for. three Municipal .e_etions in al-
•
most : as -.many years.' ,
i?roceeding ;under a drainage pet-
ition Kinloss Council originally' ad-
opted ;.the • Archibald;, drainage by-
law; 'which called' for an extension'
down the river in the repairing and
•clean, out of the Ackert Drain. .
• It was that extension work that
`vas' chiefly responsible for the op-
position that developed . to, this
scheme, and eventually the balance
of power on the .Kinloss board
swung'in favor of the opposition and
the, Archibald' by-law was•.repealled
and a new engineer called to survey,
the drain • and bring in a new by-law
which wast, adopted,, but.under which
work teethe drain hes'not been pro-
- ..deeded with nendini ,the above
• stated. action.
• The matter now •rests in the hands
of the 'Drainage Referee and the de-
cision will be awaited with interest.
