Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1959-11-12, Page 12Drain At Collegiate Giving Trouble, Who Will Fix It? Excavators on the job of the addition to Clinton District Col- legiate Institute have cut off a town drain which goes across the campus to the gully. This raises a problem for the CDCI Board. George Falconer, Brucefield, a long-time member and ex-chair- man of the Board approached council on Monday night with re- quest that clarification be made on who was responsible for fixing the drain and diverting the 'water. Recollecting of Lawrence Den- ommee, janitor at CDCI for about 20 years, is that the drain was put in 15 years ago. Mr. Falconer stated that the drain has not been satisfactory, but has been clogged and when rains are heavy the water 'boils up about 100 feet from the gully. Discovery at the site by excava- tors also shows that the soil is only capable of carrying up to 3,000 lbs. per square inch. They had hoped it would carry up to 6,000 pounds. Result is that foun- dations will have to be stronger. Council is of the opinion this is a natural water course, and that a drain had been there for about 50 years. In this case the respon- sibility of changing it would be the Board's, not the town, Council in Action (Continued from Page One) - Posts are all in, but names net. attached yet.

Expenses of $60 was granted Mayor Burton Stanley for the trip to Toronto to interview the muni- cipal board, on which three other town representatives attended. Mayor B, Stanley explained that annexation of the 18 acres in Hul- lett does not mean that the town owns that land. It only means that the land is now inside the town limits. Extension of water and sewerage lines to that area will be put in on request of the sub- divider, and at his expense. Plant Jubilee Tulips Over 120 golden tulips were planted at the flag pole, Clinton Legion Hall on Monday night in preparation for the Golden Jubilee year of Guiding-1960. Clinton Guides were assisted in the project by Mrs. Clifford H. Epps.

This will create a vacancy on council in that township. It is rumored that Thomas Leiper, sen- ior member on the council, will seek to move up to the reeve's spot, •and there Is no indication that he will be opposed. At the meeting of council last Monday night, Hullett approved a grant of $750 to the Hullett Township P'ederation of Agricul- ture. Since there were no appeals on the court of revision held on the Storey-Dickson drain, a by- law was passed authorizing the raising of $1,101 to pay the Hul- lett share of the cost. 1VIcKillop Township is co-operating in build- ing this drain.

(continued from- page one) he had no intention of moving up as reeve--he simply could not take time away from town to go to county council. He believed the work of the 'town was important, but his own business was more important to him. However, he would stay for council if he was wanted. Mayor B. Stanley commented that "Herb is an outstanding councillor, ready night or day to take on any job asked of him." Councillor N. Livermore con- gratulated Mayor Stanley on his excellent job of conducting affairs of the town, He said he would stand again if the ratepayers wan- ted him. He commented that he would like to see a second ball diamond at Clinton Community Park. "There is no better ad- vertisement for the town, than to have it well represented by young people in sport." Councillor Donald Symons said that if the ratepayers felt he was doing a good enough job (he's out of town eight hours a day with the' Ontario Hydra line crews) he would be glad to offer his services for another year. He, too, suggest- ed that some system where some of the legwork were taken from the councillor's job, would be a good idea, Reeve W, J. Miller stated that he would attempt to move up to the mayor's chair once again. He was mayor for two years before Mr. Stanley accepted the position last year. Mr. Miller said he had no intention of moving up, but with Mr. Stanley retiring, he would change his mind. He said he appreciated the reception he had from the public while work- ing on the roads committee this year, and of the co-operation of the council, throughout the year. Deputy reeve Melvin Crich said he would make a move into the reeve's chair, since Mr, Miller was planning to move tip. He reported that if his health stayed with him, he had nothing else to do, but eat, sleep, and look after the affairs of Clinton. Mr. Crich has served for 13 years on council as coun- cillor and deputy reeve. Ex-mayor G. Wesley Nott spoke briefly expressing regret that the present council would not be com- ing bank next year. "I don't think we could get another council in 60 that could carry on the work of council as this one has done. Perhaps you have missed some things, but we did too, when eve were on council, and any council would."

Guest speaker, and this was a welcomed surprise to the local, was Gordon Hill, Varna, recently re-elected president of the Ontario Farmers Union. He commented particularly upon Farm Union Week, noting that it was a step forward, with five provinces across Canada participating in this campaign. There are many radio and tele- vision stations donating their time, as well as some local pap- ers, thus making the Union feel that some organizations are ac- cepting it, and the policy to pre- serve the family type farm. The Farm Union feels that some oth- er farm organizations are all the time promoting policies to do a- way with the family type farming and encourage vertical integrated farming. A motion was passed to send a donation of money to the Inter- provincial Farm Union Council in Ottawa to "help secure the roots and working of the organization." 0 Tom leiper May Seek Reeve's Chair In Hullett Township ley, Goderich; (North ' Central), Vernon Hunter and Harold Gaunt, Lucknow; (South Central), Ross Trewartha, Clinton; James Hogg, Seaforth; (South Huron), Well- ington Brock and Tom Hem, Ex- eter, and director-at-large, Harv- ey Johnston, manager of the Hu- ron County Home at Clinton.
