Engineer B. M. Ross, Godcrich, didn't agree withythe two COUli- cillors who complained at meeting last week that ,the angle bf the outletwas not correct. The Goderich surveyor had the drain' entering the creek at right angles to the stream. Reeve William .McKenzie and Councillor Alvin Pym argued the drain should enter the ditch at a 45 - degree angle. They predicted water would back up the drain into cellars when the creek ran high. • Engineer Ross said a suction is created by the water when the draM enters perpendicular to the stream. This suction. he said, prevents water from backing up and helps to draw out the water from the draM. Council is planning construction of two other drains.. One will be constructed at Eeten north, and the other east of Edward street. OMB Delays Hearing' On .Hugmeter' Actions • Hearing of Dr. L.G.

Temperature, he• said, must be at least 60, and the road surface dry, Councillor Bailey said there is a possibility that some hard - topping may be done on heavily - travelled roads leading off Main St. Extent of this work will be determined by the amount of money left in the roads budget after the oiling program, he said. Hardtopping has been proposed before but there has been objec- tion to spending money for this purpose when the roads may have to be dug up in the near ruture Mr installation of 13S ewers,' Budget for roads this year totals $14,000, and this amount has been approved by the Depart- ment of Highways, which contrib- utes one-half.

The dam will be one of the main items on the agendaof the Authority's meeting in Parkhill next Wednesday. Plan Action On Parking A rejuvenated Exeter Business- men's Association is taking steps to provide more parking space for custoiners in the business section of town. Investigating the .problein is a three-man. committee under President Fred Darling, Mem- Ilers include Bill Middleton and Fit action undertaken by tbe tcomMittee will be a campaign among merchants and their employees to park their cars off Main Street, President Darling has already proven thisis a profitable move. fs'In our particular case," he said, "we have been able to re- move three cars from the Main street and I have noticed a con, siderable difference from the extra, parking space provided." "T rvould estimate an addition- al 30 ears a day park in these spots which were being tied up all during business hours." Parking •is considered so im- portant by some stores that they have provided private property to accommodate their customers. One of these is A & H Food Market, in which Andrew Bier - ling is a partner. "There is no question 'that parking is an important con- sideration as far as the customer is concerned," Mr. Bierling said. The committee plans to investi- gate the pcissibility of establish ing a municipal parking lot close to the Main Street.

These actions indicate the prog- ress being made by the Authority toward erection of its second flood control dam. Construction has just started on its first one — the Morrison Dam. Official endorsement of the Parkhill Dam as a project of the Authority is expected to be given at the meeting called for Wednes- day, June 5. Townships of McGillivray and Bosanquet, • involved in the damage action of Dr. L. G. Hag- meier over flooding of the Kion. - dyke area, have petitioned the Authority to proceed •with the scheme. The town of Parkhill has indicated it is. in favor of the project. The dein will probably be financed on the same basis as the one in Usborne. Parkhill will contribute a major share for the right to use the reservoir as a source of water supply. The Province of Ontario will contrib- ute 50 .per cent of the cost and the Ontario Department of High- ways will 'pay an amount equiv- alent to the cost of erecting a bridge over the river at that point. The department has agreed to postpone construction of the bridgelt had planned t� erect to replace the present one which is in bad repair.
