Clinton Colts Hockey earn to Organize For Next Season All persons interested in the fu- ture of the Clinton Colts hockey team are asked to attend a, meet- ing which will be held in the Council Chambers on Monday, May 4 at 8,00 pan. It is planned to organize the club for the forthcoming season and ways and means of strength- ening the club will be discussed. All hockey fans should plan tq be there as the future of the team is to be decided. Don't forget the date Monday, May 4 at 8.00 p,m, TB Association Votes To Assist Seaforth Gain Xray Gear ' At the annual meeting of the Huron County Tuberculosis Assoc- iation, held in the Town Hall, Clinton, on Monday night, April 20, the Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth, was voted the sum of $4,000 to bring its X-ray equip- ment up to date. However, only $1,500 of that amount will be forthcoming at this time, while the balance will follow after the 1953 sale of Christmas seals - which is the association's only source of revenue. The meeting adopted a consti- tution and by-laws as recommend- ed by the Ontario Tuberculosis Association, and a meeting of a newly nominated executive coun- cil is scheduled for early May. In 1952, the South Huron Hos- pital at Exeter received $5,000 to cover cost of its new X-ray equip- ment. Climax of Policy According to Frank Fingland, Q.C., Clinton, who has served as county president for the past three years, the payment of $4,000 to the Seaforth hospital, ($1,025 was granted to Seaforth hospital last year) will see the climax of a long-term policy sponsored by the county •association. Because the smaller county hospitals, such as those at Seaforth, Clinton, and Exeter, did not have sufficient bed -capacity to qualify for govern- ment health grants towards X-ray equipment, the county association undertook to supply the smaller hospitals with such equipment. In discussing the referred clin- ics held at Goderich, Wingham, Clinton, Seaforth, and the Beck Memorial Sanatorium at London, and sponsored by this county as- sociation, the meeting noticed a decrease in costs of operating, but an increase in patients. H. C. Lawson, Clinton, secretary -treas- urer, stated that costs were down. A cheaper film is being used for X-rays. The sum of $50 will be forward- ed to Lloyd Cushman, Exeter, for his services during the past two years in assisting with referred clinics held at the James Street Church, Exeter, previous to the building of that town's new hos- pital. At Christmas, 1952, gifts were sent to each Huron County pa- tient at the Beck Memorial San- atorium. On motion of Merton A. Reid and Ed Smith, both of Seaforth, a letter will be forwarded to Rev. Dr. W. A. Beecroft, formerly of Wingham, the first president of the county association, to wish him well in his new appointment at Ottawa. The financial report from April 1, 1952, to April 1, 1953, showed total receipts, $13,768.50; total ex- penditures, $9,355.59; balance, of $4,412.91. Proceeds from the sale of Christmas seals last year were $6,791.68,. an increase of $1,000 over the 1951 sales. Cost of re- ferred clinics was $2,480.59, while the association's share of the cost of the mass X-ray held in 1952 Was $218.97. Clerk To Draw Up How Sewerage Rate Scale (Continued from. Page One) problem and that some basis for tackling this problem should be arrived at. Monteith: There are only two ways:. taxes or by special sewerage rate based on gallenage. Perdue: I feel the system is al- ready loaded against the water users. Monteith: Would you favour a flat rate per seryice? Perdue: The system is loaded against the users. I feel I'm Pay- ing enough right now for sewer service. I don't believe vacant lot owners are paying enough, Monteith: That can be dealt with by means of the deferred benefit angle, and the owners can be taxed for that. Who pays when a sewer is blocked? Hawkins: If blockage occurs on their property the user pays, We have very little trouble with blockage. Mayor W. 3. Miller: What would your suggestion be for raising maintenance revenue? Monteith: The easiest way would be by taxation, though that would not be the most popular way. I am not prepared to state what would be a fair method of setting a sewerage rate. Clerk Holland provided the sug- gestions of town engineer W. D. Colby on the matter, Mr. Colby suggested a rate established ac- cording to the type of user, Active users would pay the most. Rate would be billed by the month, Mr. Colby was prepared to come to Clinton and help classify the us- ers. He did not feel that the rate should be charged on water met- ers. He had stated that old meters were apt to let a lot of water slip by, The new owner, with high assessment already would then be paying more because his new meter would be recording all water used. Monteith: I understand by the engineer's suggestion that a ten - room house would have a higher rate than a small one. That's practically getting to a basis of assessment. Crich; How much money are we losing by not having meters on all properties? Perdue: That's questionable. Hawkins: We're losing very little. Auburn WI Annual Sunshine Sister -Banquet (By our Aubure correspondent) The Women's Institute held its eighth annual Sunshine Sisters banquet on Thursday evening, Ap- ril 16, at Carlow, when the Tiger Dunlop Institute catered.

Mrs. Moore was former- ly Bernice Denomme, Clinton. The program leading up to the presentation was a mock wedding, planned by the assistant teacher, Mrs. T. M, Durnin. Participants were: •groom, Larry Pentland; bride, Sharon Park; best man, Billy Blake; bridesmaids, Sandra Brooks and Jewell Reed; ushers, Walter Mole and Norris Sampson; and wedding music Was played by Norma Pentland. An address of best wishes was read to Mr. and 1VIrs. Moore by Patricia Young, with poems read by Elizabeth Pentland and Marlene Maize. Those presenting the gift, a lov- ely set of grey and blue chrome and plastic table and chairs, were Donny Mole, Raymond Chisholm, Wayne Brown, and Lorne Alton. The recipients were very pleased and both bride and groom made a suitable reply. The remainder of the evening was spent in playing cards at 14 tables. Those winning prizes were Thomas Rivett, Mrs, Eldon Cul- bert, Otto Popp, and Miss Ada Webster. A lovely lunch of sand- wiches, cookies, and white • and pink cake, and coffee was served to close an enjoyable evening. Councill C. W. Draper: expres- sed his opinion that all users should have meters installed. It was the only fair way to operate. Pegg; I understand there are 234 water users now paying the minimum rate of $10.80 a year. 100 of those have no meters. Perdue: I don't believe they're paying their fair share. I'm pay- ing $27 a year. The sewer is just as good to the minimum rate pay- ers as it is to me. I would sug- gest that the basic rate should bear some connection with the amount required to retire the de- benture. Pegg: Then, if the average rate were set at $22, then everyone should pay it, regardless if they are connected to the sewer. Nediger: I don't believe the rate based on water used, is a fair rate. Hawkins: I feel that water us- ers should pay for the sewer. Nediger: Would prefer paying bi-monthly, as sewerage rentals are billed, rather than once a year which would be the case if it were taxed. Hawkins: With a mill rate of 74 you can't raise it that way. Nediger: A flat rate is the best way. (There was quite a bit of free discussion here, concerning vacant lot payers; those services without meters; those who have water, but do not pay for sewerage since sewers de not go by the property, etc.) Pegg suggested as a starting point that last year maintenance -costs were $6,g00. Supposing there were 700 use, - and each paid 75 cents peramorith sewer service rental. That would raise $6,300, and would possibly provide a small surplus for emergencies. As each new user began to pay this rate the amount would increase. Us- ing the engineer's suggestion, the flat rate could be set up on two or three different levels. Hawkins presented some esti- mates on the 600 domestic users rated at 50 cents per month, the commercials at 75 cents and the industries at 81.00 which would raise some $4,400, Mayor Miller: This scale sug- gested by Hawkins could be ad- justed if necessary, Hawkins: What must be settled right now is whether we are to continue extensions and laterals as requested, or shall we charge the user for them? Agnew: The by-law states that the service will pay for extensions. I think the by-law is fine and will work. Would suggest we leave it alone and settle upon a mainten- ance rate. Secretary -treasurer of the PUC, A. J. McMurray, was requested to give his viewpoint. He didn't be- lieve the system of paying for lat- eral extensions could be changed, There were ten hornes waiting right now for connection, at a cost of approximately $3,700. However, sewerage rental revenue would be coming back from them at the rate of $300 per year, and taxes amounting to $1,300, so there was no danger of the initial cost being lost. Besides with lots selling at higher rates than before the sew- erage system was installed, the new owners felt they had already paid in part for the service. Councillor Schoenhals: A lot of fellows building now have already been paying into the service for six :veers at their old homes. These new houses are not all being oc- cupied by out-of-town persons. Crich: One thing sure, we can- not discourage building,. Perdue: It is only fair that those building now should pay for their laterals, The 'Meeting closed with goner - al discussion concerning the rate set, and council was to instinct the -clerk to prepare tentative flat rates for the various types of ser- vice, for presentation to the coun- cil at the earliest meeting, a . . thanks, It was decided to carry on with the Sunshine Sisters for another year and names were drawn. vote of thanks Was ac- corded the guest apealter, the Tig- or Dunlop Institute for their bind hospitality arid to the committee In theme a the evening: Mrs, It, 3.
