Mr. Childs, who visited ten local municipal dumps. before attending the meeting said they were fairly typical of all muni cipal dumps, a disgrace general. ly, not of-the municipality alone , but, of the whole southern part of 'the province. , - Referring to the new legislat- ion he said it would provide that new sites will have to he approved by the Department of Energy and Resources,.

If the site is not up to standard the municipality will he advised what to do, given one. year to do it, and if not the site would he closed. The site will depend on thi.- number of persons to he served. The facilities needed can be do. termined from assessment re• cords. Continuing his review of re• quirements, Mr. Childs said open burning is against the law and open dumping 'will not be ac- -ceptable.

Union of two or more municipalities to operate a com- mon disposal site might be de- sirable. Mr. Childs said, another prob- lem abundant in the area wag the accumulation of automobile hulks. It has become a complex and expensive problem since steel companies no longer find it feasible to buy old cars for the steel. •"Each municipality has to decide if they will accept this type of waste and. if they do, will have to decide' on how to handle them," ,,,he said. On septic tank waste, Mr, Childs said it was better to ac- cept it and then one knows where it is and it can be treated and accommodated. Referring to industrial wastes he said those generated by in- dustry are fairly complex and if accepted the municipality would need , assistance in hand- ling them. Agricultural wastes are not too acceptable and he would pre- fer that they did not go to the sites as there is just too great a (Continued on Page 6) Preliminary plans for the 1969 Frill Fair were agreed on when directors of the Seaforth Ag- ricultural Society met in Sea-. forth Town Hall.

Elliott, who represents the Townships of Goderich and Colborne on the Board, said his criticism of the recommendat- ions was the same as it had been for setting teachers' salaries ab- ove the salary schedule If the holiday schedule was set ac- cording to the recommendations there would be widespread crit- icism throughout the County of Huron. Mr, Elliott said he had made a study of the vacation periods existing in leading public and semi-public bodies and also private enterprises in Huron County, with in the following' results: Case 1: after one year, two weeks; after 10 years, three weeks..

(Photo bit Philips). A drain• which Tuckersmith proposes to construct to serve portions of Egmondville and Seaforth ran into opposition Tuesday night. Present at a special meeting of council in Centennial School, Brucefield to hear the engineers report read were 25 ratepayers from Egmondville and- three members of Seaforth Council. About fifty properties were assessed for the drain on the boundary bgtween Egmondville and Seaforth. Cost of 'the drain which has a length of 1557 lin- ear feet is estimated at $8700.00. Of this amount Seaforth is as- sessed $2400.00 while the re- maining $6300.00 is assessed ag- ainst Egmondville ratepayers af- fected by the drain. The move to build the drain arose as a result of a petition from Egmondville residents who had 'water in their basements and in the area surrounding their' homes. The new project will replace an open drain con- sidered dangerous to children and -will give a better outlet to residents farther back from George Street. Henry Uderstadt of Triton Group, Orangeville, consultant engineer for Tuckersmith Town- ship who prepared the report answered questions. Most of those present quest- ioned Mr. UderStadt about what some ar them considered the high assessment against their property. He explained assess- ments were according to the Drainage Act and added no ad- justments could be made at the meeting but must await a Court of Revision. He said ratepayers affected would be notified' of the date of the Court of Revision which Council later set after passing a by-law accepting - the drain re- port, for July 22. • • Mayor, Frank Sills of Sea- forth expressed concern at the drainage assessment against the town. He pointed out the area in Seaforth the drain would ser- ver already was being served by new drains planned by the town. He referred to Storm Sewer Plan which engineers recently completed for Seaforth. The Crombie Street Drain costing, • $34,000 which is to be started this week, will relieve the southern portion of the town south of the railway tracks. Seaforth Reeve, John Flan- nery asked whether there had been a meeting between the engineers of Seaforth and Tuck- ersmith to coordinate their work on drains. Mr. Uderstadt replied he had met with. the Huron County Engineer and believed a meeting with Seaforth was not necessary. Mayor Sills asked if the Coun- ty could not be asked to en- large its drain thus complement Seaforth's plan and at the same time meet the needs of Tucker- smith more satisfactorily. In other business a request from Harold Turnbull of Egmon- dville asked Council to consid- er a bylaw to control the locat- ion of trailers. Rather than loc- ated at random in Egmondville he suggested a trailer park where all trailers would be in one area. Council agreed to look into this suggestion feeling it was becoming a necessity. Council agreed a letter be written to W. It. Venn, DH(), Stratford requesting he re-eon- (Corithrbed on Page 6)
