It was reported at council meeting that some delays have been experienced in the negotiations. In most cases, however, changes or explana- tions have been made to clear up opposition. M. G. Fallis, the OWR.0 representative, has indicated that more prompt action on the part of the property own- ers will help speed up the work and reduce costs, To call own hearing on planning bylaw Town council Tuesday night approved a switch in 'the roads program from calcium chloride to prime oiling in an effort to beat the dust problem on a per- manent basis. Roads Chairman Bailey xvas given authority to • arrange for application of the prime, which is the first step toward permanent surfacing, on as many streets as possible. Procedural wrangles and legal: involvements slowed to a snail's pace progress on the On- tario Municipal Board's hear- ing here over the apportionment of Parkhill dam coats to parti- cipating municipalities in the Ausable authority. J-i. H. Todgham, Chatham drainage consultant engineer, stood before the battery of bar- risters almost all day Wednes- day. Tuesday afternoon, when the hearing reconvened after its adjournment here April 4, only three witnesses were heard, It's doubtful if Ihe hearing will end Thursday. Nine legal firms arc repre- sented at the hearing and the counsel, their papers and as- sistants, stretch along tables which runs right across the 40-foot vidth of the town hall A uditoritun, Tuesday, tempers were exer- cised as the lawyers argued over procedure and relevancy of evidence, Pens and eye glas- ses were thrown on the tables, gestures a.nd utterances of dis- gust were frequent. B. L. Kennedy, vice-chairman of the Ontario Municipal Board. who is conducting the hearing, kept matters in hand with pa- tient and sometimes smiling in- structions to counsel. Sitting. with him is V, S. Millburn, member of the board. All witnesses to date have been called by Ralph D. Steele, QC, Chatham, representing Bo- sanquet, one of the two aPPW- big municipalities. E. D. 'Ben, QC, Exeter, repreaenting . the other appellant, Stephen, has not called any witnesses al- though it was .indicated that much of the Bosanquet evidence will he used by Stephen. Seek 50% reduction Bosanquet and Stephen have requested 50% reductions in their assessments which are es- timated at $43,800 and $11,200 respectively. Wednesday, Engineer Todg- ham submitted three re-assess- ments of the benefits from the million-dollar-plus dam. They included A reallocation of the authority's share of the costs of the project, a revision of the flood reduction benefits in the Klondy-ke area and of the rec- reational benefits from the darn and its reservoir. Among the arguments pre- sented by Todgham were; That water supply benefit should be assessed against East and West Williams townhip and McGillivray township as well as Against the town of Parkhill be- cause the townships could use the reservoir for irrigation pur- poses, domestic water supply And as an attraction for smaller Industries; Parkhill's assessment should be increased because of the po- tential tourist business the dam and its huge reservoir will bring to the commercial area; Flood reduction benefit should he distinguished between lands on the east and west side of the Klonelyke road which, built up,' would protect the western lands from flooding Daring his testimony he re, Viewed the number of exten- sive works, including the cuts both at Port Franks And at Grand Bend, which have altered Break sod for new SS Mayor W, E.

William Schlegel, in charge of the 4,000-acre Haig farm and George Hunt, man- ager of the 2,500-acre New Ven- ice farm, said the costs were out of proportion to the benefit they would receive, Both testifier.: that it was their understanding that Bosa.nquet intended to assess almost, the en- tire amount of its levy against the 'Klondyke lands, as did Ste- phen township, Both agreed that, if both ,Bosanquet and Ste- phen townships agreed to levy their assessments over their en- tire municipalities as McGilli- vray intended to do, they would not object to the costs. Schlegel and Hunt both doubted the flood control value of the dam, insisting it. was the tributaries below the proposed dam and not those above which constituted the greater hazard. Appearing before the man- agers, Clerk Donald. Frayne of Bosanquet, outlined the town- ship lands ''hich had been taken over for recreation use and on Five gain citizenship .Five. persons froin Exeter and one from.

They were brought to court by two London RCMP detach- ment officers to be used as an exhibit in the trial of Wilson Brintnell, RR 1, Kirlaton, who was charged with taking eggs from Migratory birds. Brintnell pleaded not guilty to the charge and RCMP Sgt, 1, P. Bildfellgt explained to the court he was not prepared to. proceed with the trial because not knowing, how Brintnell would plead he had not called his witnesses. He then explained to the court that the earliest he could proceed would be on 10, as one of his men was leaving for A one-month vacation, After receiving permission he painted out. that he wanted to use the eggs as an exhibit but was afraid that they would "get higher and higher" and THEOLOGIAN Richard D.

He said the crowded beach scene that prevailed on Satur- day and Sunday was as large as any of the three summer holiday weekends.

However, Charles -Mackenzie, representing Brintnell, asked that, a complete description of the eggs be given and sn the RCMP constable gingerly re- moved the plastic bag from the Cpl, John Cowan then moved over and opened a window while Grieve 'pulled out an egg and held it at arm's length to al. low the magistrate to get a good look at it.

Councillor Joseph Wooden, who is secretary of the planning board, reported the draft pre- pared by the board has been re- viewed by the community plan- rung branch of the dep't of municipal affairs and, with some changes, found acceptable. Saturday, four members of the board interviewed branch officials in Toronto to complete revisions of the draft. Although it's normal for the municipal hoard to call for a public bearing once the zoning bylaw has been enacted by council,, Secretary Wooden indi- cated the board planned to call a public meeting of its own to hear any objections to the plan before it is presented. to ma- ell for adoption. Wooden reported the provin• vial officials were "pleasantly surprised that we were able In prepare our own bylaw without the services of a professional consultant", lie indicated a majority of commtmities hire planning firms to prepare zon• ing regulations. Secretary Wooden also re- vealed that "very few areas" of the 'town would be eligible to he included in a subdivision control bylaw, under which the sale of any lot under 10 acres in size would have to be ap- proved by the planning board.

With the high- er standard 'now required by the department of highways, this program is cnnsidered to be permanent surfacing. The n e w proposals came about after a conference here with C. :M. Nellarre, district en- gineer with 'the department of highways. Costs to increase ? There was some disagreement over the cost of the revised pro- gram. Deputy - reeve Claude Farrow, who attended the con- ference with the engineer, felt an additional $8,000 to 310,000 would be required over the orieinal budget of $21,000. Bailey, however'. thought the cost would not he much more than the $21,000. The dust problem, which has prompted widespread complaint, made the roads question the chief to of Tuesday night's council meeting. Protests from citizens reached such a degree last week that Clerk C. V. Pick- ard sent out letter's In each household assuring citizens that council was giving every con- sideration to the problem, Farrow pressed for the adop- tion of a two-year plan on the roads, "1 think we should plan ahead for next year' and try to avoid the situation we have had this year." He termed the dust nuisance "no joke." Farrow acknowledged that plans for this year's 'program had been started three weeks ahead of the previous year but he. suggested they should be drawn up at least six weeks earlier. "the'r'e not ready to go now when we could be," he said, 1O HAMILTON Carole West- colt, 18-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Roylanec West.: colt, Mt 3 Exeter, graduated on May IS from London Teach• ers' College and has Weaned a teaching position with 'the liamitton beard of education.

The four areas included William at Huron, the western block of Anne, Sanders between Main and Andrew and Huron on both sides of Main. Councillor Wooden asked it the PC's water supply had been strained by the amount of water being applied 'to 'the road by householder's with garden hoses. Mayor Simmons indicated 'he Aad heard of no problem yet. 'Wooden pointed out that a dry, hot spring normally is followed by similar conditions during the summer months, which could tax water resources. Councillor Ross Taylor indi• rated council miehl "get bigeor struawks" from the public if it spent too much money on the inads. List roads for asphalt Four-man race here The fight for the federal seat in Huron riding became a four- man race this week when Earl Douglas, London, a Bayfield summer resident, announced his nomination as the Social Credit candidate. It is believed to be the brat 'ime that four candidates have sought the seat. In an advertisement placed in this week's T-A, Douglas state; his acceptance is in accordance with his oft-repeated statement "the good people of Huron rid- ing deserve to have somethinat: Netter to vole for than debt, mare debt, taxation and more taxation".
