Hensall man dies, was 102, lived at Huronview John Thomas Mitchell, who was 102 Feb. 7, died Monday afternoon at Huronview. Mr. Mitchell, formerly of Hensel', came to Huronview when he was 100. He was born on his father's Hay Township farm. Later the family moved to adjoining Tuckersmith Township. ' Mr. Mitchell spent most of his life on his farm near Hensall. He had a good memory and in an interview on his 100th birthday, he recalled the growth of the area around the turn of the century. In 1891, Mr. Mitchell married the former Elizabeth Rice of Cromarty. They moved to Hensall in 1928. His wife died in 1956 at the age of 85. Mr. Mitchell is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Jarvis (Olive) Horton and Mrs. Melville (Edna) Traquair, both of Hensall, and Mrs. Carl (Gertrude) Stoneman, Cromarty, and a son, Stanley, RR 1, Hensall. The body was at the Bonthron Funeral Home, Hensall, where the service was held _at 2 p.m. yesterday. Burial was in McTaggart's Cemetery,. Usborne Township. Health ..and public works authorities may soon be out looking for puddles on Clinton lawns in an attempt to trace the source of raw sewage and wastewater flowing into the Mary Street storm. drain. An old six or eight-inch concrete pipe which connects to t he Mary Street drain somewhere in the vicinity of Alma and Erie Streets is carrying sewage, according to Murray Lobb, an inspector for the Huron County Health Unit. No mini-park Clinton officials don't want a mini-park in a subdivision being planned for the north end of Raglan Street and agreed Monday evening to accept a cash settlement from the developer in lieu of the grant of five percent of the subdivision land area. Amount of the settlement will have to be negotiated, but the decision to accept cash in lieu of land will enable the Ontario Municipal Board to complete its study plans and take action, according to Budd Kuehl, the subdivider. The OMB application formerly called the parcel to be developed the Ernest Brown subdivision. But Mr. Kuehl said he is now handling the project and more recent communication with the OMB refers to the "Budd Kuehl subdivision." Mr.Kuehl is chairman of the town's planning board which is drafting a zoning bylaw and proposals for further subdivision control. The arguments for taking cash in place of land include: that the subdivision is close to both the high school and community park grounds, that the lots will be large and not overcrowded by children playing, that there will still be open land 'around the subdivision and that the money can be better used for purchase of land in a more suitable park site. The money can only be used for purchase of park land. LAKE INVENTORY An inventory of Ontario lakes is being made by the department of lands and forests to determine the present and potential capability of every lake as a fish producing unit. The best way to find Who is putting sewage into the pipe is to cap the, pipe and wait, suggests Mr. Lobb — wait for ponding on the lawns of offenders. Before the pipe-capping is tried, the town, the health unit -and the Public Utilities Commission may put colored dies into floor draina or toilets in certain houses, to see if the die shows up in the storm drains, The die tracing won't work, Mr, Lobb warned council Monday night, if the sewage is coming from a septic system. He said it may be that one or more houses have pipes running from their septic system weeping bed into the storm drain. The problem ,etsewagein the MarY Street drain arose on. Monday night's, agenda because the old six' eight-ineh pipe. is exposed during construction by Eric Christenson of a new home on Erie Street. My, Lobb said, that the investigation can be done most .gasily while the pipe is accessible,. The Health Unit is going to require. .a rather eiaherste 'end expensive septic system for the Christenson home because of soil conditions, .grade And the proximity to the Mary Street, drain, said Mr, Lobb. A building permit foT the home was issued last month, subject to health unit approval of sewage disposal vstem, lilliiM111101011111011141NOIIIIIIIIIIINIONSIIIIIIK J Es siE ,r,IER • BIG - it,114 INA lips • pfiumminilmomimmomummiummiummun ST17010 — Specializing in, . .
