Some .35 years ago the Black Creek was dredged out to give bet­ ter drainage to the farms and farm lands adjoining] and nothing has been done to it since and in some places it is filling up. Mr. John Mousseau and some others have ap­ pealed to have the drain again open­ ed making it both deeper and -wider, The official referee, Mr. Hender­ son, of Ottawa was brought in by thase interested and made ax^pport to the Hay Council. The Hay Council then employed Mr. Patter­ son, County Engineer, of Goderich, to make a survey of all lands being drained,into the Black Greek, and the probable cost of the work. Mr. Patterson has made his. report to Hay Council and papers have been served on those interested. The probable cost of the work that amount is to be made by levy. The Village of Hensall consists of about five hundred acres and all its drain­ age goes into the Black Creek. The most of it enters the Creek about a mile north of the Zurich road. The new work will start at the Sable river about one-half mile south of the Lake Road, Stephen Tbwnship, and will come up across the township of Hay to about 20 rods off the Zurich road, so will not come near the main outlet of Hen- sall’s water. The assessment of Hensall is $2.50 a lot, besides en- gineeing cost and clerical fees, mak­ ing a levy on Hensall ofi something ofer $1400. It looks to us as.if this assessment is excessive for the vil- Ta!gh of Hensall as we should hot’ be charged any more than for or-> dinary farm land for drainage pur­ poses or if we are liable at all $500 or $1.00 per acre should cover our assessment considering the distance we are away from the drain. The survey covers parts of Stephen, I-Iay, Stanley, . Usborne, Tuckersmith and Hibbert as well as Hensall, farms back in Hibbert as far as Gordon Bolton and Dan Brintnell’s being assessed. As there .are only two parties in Hay township who are really pushing the drain we should suggest to Hay Council that the cheapest way would be to buy their farms and turn them into commons. A Court of Revision will be held in Zurich ou May 22nd and by the amount of talk of the assessment on this drain the meeting will quite will be about $35,000 and interesting..
