A.NNF,-�x.P.►.TION .• • A letter• from the council of the Township of Hullett, was received by Clinton Town .Council at last Monday's meeting, stating that the township was in favour of an- nexIettation of certain lands u , Coun. Burt, Stanley: Would sug- gest that we annex the whole of the 12 acres, Mayor Miller: Well, this in- volves a lot of expenditure in ex- tending streets, sidewalks, water and sewer services to that area. Stanley: Eventually, of course this would be done, However, it would be spread over a period. Deputy Reeve Mel Crich; I un- derstand that the property will be assessed as farm land until such time as it is subdivided and reg- istered. Coun. M. J. Agnew; Before we go ahead with this annexing, I feel that we should have the town en- gineer come up and have a look at it, giving us his estimate of the cost involved, even though it may be spread over ten to 15 years. Mayor: Yes. Once it is within the corporation, the people there will want sewerage service, etc. Agnew: With any great increase in services we will have to enlarge the disposal unit. It's operating practically at capacity now. Coun. D. Pegg: There's another problem, The road dips slightly just past the last house now ser- viced with water. We would need engineer's advice on levels. Also, if extended along the highway, we'll need permission from the department of highways. Agnew: Believe it would be a good thing to set up this area as a local improvement area. If peo- ple want to build out there they should be willing to share the ex- tra cost of services. Pegg: We have been advised that a Year must elapse between annexations. Also, there is legal expense in annexing a small area, just as large as for annexing a big area. Reeve Nediger: There is need for the engineer to visit shortly and make decisions concerning the drain at the new public school. When he is here, no doubt he can look into this other thing.
