Single Copy 1 1.6 Pages, To Re-examine Lucknow S�wage Proposal' After .Meeting.Wjth,' Council .• The a itire Lucknow Council, Reeve' George' Joynt ,and''Coun cillorsw M. L Sanderson; Harvey ebster, Omar Brooks and 'Bud Hamilton 'met . with Dr. Vance" and members of the Ontario Water . Resources Commission in Toronto. last 'Thursday, in regard to the Commission's proposal that Lucknow proceed with . a sewage dis- posal system to "clean up" the downtown area where drainage problems exist. • The delegation presented the meeting with the feelingsof the, local body and . stressed that under the present system of grants on such a project, it is not practical for small ,assess. ment municipalities . to be expected to . participate in such a ma- jor program. Reeve Joynt had previously` ••stated through'the Sentinel that he felt some, slide -rule method of •, grants •was a necessity' in order to make it practical., Reeve Joynt feels that the time has .come when a resolution should ,come from a mune icipal body (such : as the Ontario Association of Mayors and Reeves)• calling for' ' -a : re-examining of the grant structure on .sewage projects by government. . • • The Reeve feels that government must have the support of municipal bodies in such a move and, feels that it was.'tinie "the voice of the people" be : heard. Council and , the OWRC discussed the project locally as . it has taken shape from as far . back as 1958 and 1959. Reeve Joynt has . made it', known locally that such a sewage project would cost in the neighbourhood ' of $200,000 to : $250,000: This figure is based on 'results of soil tests in relation to bridges built in the. municipality in the . past' few years. Mr: Joynt informs,. the` Sen- tinel that, he has -discussed ' the proposed sewage project with the village's consulting engineer, B. M. Ross of Goderich, and his. thoughts on the project in regard tocost are along this line. 'Resulting from the meeting, Ontario Water Resources Com- • mission are sending their . engineers back. to Lucknow to deter- mine if some other satisfactory means of correcting, the pollu tion` and drainage ; problems ; in: the downtown area can be solved. • Favourcible Report For LDH Board A . report ' has .been-: received by Lucknow District High ' School Board':from the Ontario :Secondary School ' Teachers Federation rela- :tive to a survey of em lo. ent ctfntlitions "at Lucknow ` District High' Sc hool.
