Deputy - Reeve Mawhinney: "When the houses are put up there, we'll put in the drain but not before." Councillor Taylor thought the plan by which water service river drain was necessary to alleviate the Anne street drain which is carrying its capacity. Mayor Pooley said he would be quite willing to pay a portion of the overall cost of the drain but he felt he should be permit- ted to sell lots on Huron street to get money to do it, Councillor Rether: "The sub- dividers have assured us they will assume part of the cost; the town should contribute to- wards it.

The solicitor and .M a a' or Pooley pointed out that this ar- rangement had been used in Riverview Heights.

It expected to recover some of this amount, however, from additional homes which would he serviced by the same lines, Reeve McKenzie questioned such expenditures, suggesting the PUC was discriminating against househalders on estab- lished streets whose water ser- vice was not as good as it should be. Mains in some areas were almost rusted through, he said. "lt doesn't seem fair that people who have been here for 35 to 40 years should he getting that kind of service while. the PUC is spending money on new mains." Cochrane: "As a member of the commission, I think our policy is sound, We are trying to replace lines while keeping pace with new development." He pointed out that the PUC had inherited an unfortunate situation in that for many years no improvements had been made to the system. Now many were required and it was impossible to finance then all at once He also pointed out: that. such expenditures as that for the Simmons . subdivision of River- view Heights would cost the tax- payers nothing because it would all be paid back in ten years, Reeve McKenzie nuestion'f whether the PUG had the author-, ity to enter into such agree- ments.

Reeve McKenzie said he had been informed by the dep't that the town had not made an of- ficial application for formation of a board and that the den't would not act until it had done so. Council tentatively appointed members to the board last spring, then requested help from the dep't, which has not been forthcoming. One of the reasons no actionhad been taken. it was suggested, was that the dep't already had more work l than it could handle. A former Stratford nman, Nor- man J.
