The hearing concerned plans to establish a sewage treat- ment pond for the system just north of Lunn in Biddulph township. It would be located on land owned by Frank Hardy, about one-half mile north of Lucan public school. Reeve Harold Wallis and members of Biddulph council, as well as Chairman R. R, Crozier and officials of the new township school area board, asked a number of questions about the pond. They were assured that it would not create an odor nuisance nor would it be unsightly, Council is kicking 'drains around again. The "football" at this point concerns relief to the Carling and Waterloo area, which ori- ginally was expected to be a minor project costing only sev- eral hundred dollars. Monday night Eogineer Ross submitted estimates show- ing the drain would cost $6,800. The drain, lie indicated, would. have to be taken north to Anne St., not just to Mill, as council had. anticipated earlier, It would resuire 15" and 18" tile laid fairly deep, Mayor Simmons and Deputy- Reeve Farrow protested. "I can't see. spending $6;800 to service three houses in that area," the mayor said bluntly. He suggested later that, such outlying sections would !nave to come under local improvement regulations which provide for regional assessments on such Projects. Farrow: "The engineer told es earlier this drain was not warranted. Ile has provided. these estimates only at your in- sistence," he told Drain Chair- man Taylor, "This doesn't Mean it's his plan — it's yours, hat the engineer's." Taylor: "You want to go Thrown at. post, rider injured Miss Lorne Taylor, daughter Of Mr. and Mrs, S. B. Taylor, Mein.

Engineer W. K. Clawson, of the firm of M, M, Dillon and. Co., London, explained the plans for the sewerage system, A. 111. Snider, chairman of the OWRC, presided for the hearing. Sitting with him was Dr. J. A, Vance, a member of the commission, Lucan has made application to proceed with a $15,000 pro- ject which will be the first of a three-stage sewerage pro- gram for the village. The vil- lage has appointed the OWRC its agent for the project and approval is being sought from the Ontario Municipal Board to proceed. The project will service ap- proximately two-thirds of the against the engineer's plans all the time, There's no sense go- ing in there and spending a $1,000 —it won't do any good whatsoever." The drain has been under dis- cussion for several years, since the. time Stephen council re- quested Salt Sweitzer to discon- nect the drain he installed across Waterloo St. into the township outlet on the south side. Sweitzer then offered to dig without charge a drain to the corner of Carling if council would take it to an outlet from there. B u i Id e r Kenneth Ottewell, who has erected several houses in that area, indicated he would pay $75 connection fees for the out- let The new $6,800 proposal, Mr. Ross indicated, would more than service this corner, It would help relieve the drainage situation on Huron street, loo. Reeve Fisher pointed out that there had been trouble in the Huron St. area and that this drain would tie in with en over- all drainage plan for the area, Mayor Simmons felt it was much more important that eil repair Main St. drains. He revealed that the engineer was preparing profiles and estimates for submission to council at the next meeting. Farrow criticized Taylor for not having submitted drainage plats earlier. He also rioted ob- jections to digging up drains after the town has completed its too work. Taylor, in turn, protested that toentil has kicked around his drainage proposale in past years, with the result that :hoth- ing been done. lie said the public works crew couldn't put in the deains until the road work was completed. Cost of the drain council will put in to serve .tire new separ- ate school on John Si. west was estimated at $1,200 by Engineer Ross.

Dashwood community centre project moved another step to- ward reality Friday night When negotiations were completed with the councils of the town- ships of Hay and Stephen. At. a joint meeting in Dash- wood Men's Club rooms, offic- ials of both councils Signed an agreement accepting joint re- sponsibility for the property and both passed bylaws ap- pointing the same board to administer the operatiot of the centre. Promoters of the centre now must secure approval of their plans .from the Ontario ..De partMent of Agriculture, They hope to take the blueprints to Toronto this week.

Nearly $1,000 worth of trans- istor radio's, radio and TV tubes was stolen from 1118 electrical repair shop on the main street of the police village. A person who "must be the meanest man in Ontario", ac- cording to PC D. H. Westover, stole luggage and a portable record player from a car which was involved in an ac- cident south of Exeter on No. 4 Sunday. While. the constable was driv• ing the two occupants of the. car to hospital for treatment, a witness reported that a man in a small red sports car, ac- companied by a woman, stop- ped by the wrecked vehicle and removed the items, The witness was too far away to see the licence number of the sports ear. Karen G. Griffin, 18, Kit- chener, lost control of the car when the front wheels caught in loose gravel, It rolled over in a deep excavation. Miss Griffin and her uncle, Richard Webster, 53, Kitchener, both were treated for minor in- juries by Dr. M. Gans at South Huron Hospital. Mr. Webster is a brother of Percy Webster, Hensall.

Town. gets gavel back Town council's gavel and stand has been returned, It was found by officials at RCAF Station Clinton in an un- used barrack locker. Mayor aSimmone lauded the co-operation of the station in returning the equipment, It was suggested that, in. appreciation for this assist- ance, the press might withhold comment on the incident to avoid adverse publicity for the station. There appears to be some confusion and perhaps misun- derstanding over the appoint- ment of a new deputy-reeve, and councillors for Hay township. At press time, however, there seemed no doubt that Council- lor Delbert Geiger has been elevated to the deputy - reeve chair and that Joseph Hoffman, a farmer near Zurich, is the new councillor The appointments were re- quired to fill the vancancy left by the resignation of former deputy-reeve Karl Haberer, to become road superintendent. Council met in special session Monday night. Delbert Geiger, who has served five years on council, said Wednesday there may be some technical problem with the council's action. "They tell us now that things aren't too le- gal," he stated. He said he did not know just what was the spe- cific problem. Clerk H. W. Brokenshire said he was not aware of any proh- lem. Mr. Geiger had been nom- inated for the position. There was no seconder for the nomi- nation, he indicated, but this was not required. No other nom- ination was made and Reeve V. L. Becker called for a vote Grand Bend council gave first reading to a by-law Monday, calling for staggered elections that the resitients will be asked to vote on in the municipal elections in December. The staggered terms of office will, affect only councillors and members of the FIJC. The reeve will stand for re-election every year. The public school board already has such a plan in effect. At an earlier meeting, Reeve Bill Sturdevant pointed out that this method, used in several municipalities, would ensure that at least some members with previous experience would sit on council every year, pen- licanY eliminating the possibil- ity of an "all-green" council or PUC. lie pointed out that an en- tirely new council would have considerable difficulty, cape- elan if it was faced with a pro- ject such as the proposed water system or some other major which was carried, although not unanimously. Because the vote was not recorded he. did not wish to indicate how the vote went, he said. Reeve Becker did not know of any problem, either. As far as he was concerned, the matter had been settled. He would not comment on what happened at the meeting, however, indicat- ing there. may have been some differences of opinion. Mr. Geiger is a former presi- dent of Hay Federation and of Huron Soil and Crop Improve- ment Association. He has served on council at two different times, having been defeated in an election for reeve several years age. Mr. Hoffman, a ba.chlor. ope- rates a 250-acre farm with his brother, Leo, on concession 10. "I wasn't very fussy about tak- ing it," he stated, "but it seemed they had to have some- body to fill up the council " BELL ANNIVERSARY George A. Glendinnine, West McGillivray, recently received recognition from the Bell Tele- phone Company of Canada for completing 21 years of service with thecompany in its plant division, work program. If the idea is approved by the electorate at the next election .k would come into effect in 1964. The two councillors or mein, hers of the PUG receiving the highest number of votes would be elected to a two-year term or if there is an uneven num- ber of councillors, the majority receiving the highest number of votes. Following that, a councillor would be elected for a two-year term, Commenting on the subject, Councillor Stewart Webb stated, "I think it will carry by a three to one majority". Reeve Sturdevant questioned what would happen ii the 1964 council was elected by acclama- tion. "Who would sit for two years?" he asked. "I suppose it would be the first t w o e n nominated," Clerk. Murray A. Des Jardins re- plied. However, he said he would check into all the possle bilities before the time of the election. One other complication that appears to arise is the fact that if a councillor who is just com- pleting his fiat term wanted to contest: the reeve's chair he would have to resign one month before the nomination meeting in November. Want money After council had authorized payment to the local volunteer fire brigade for their wages at the fire at Floyd Wild's in. Bo- sanquet township last Tuesday, Councillor Rollie Grenier asked. if the township had submitted its $300.00 retainer fee and was informed that it had not. "Well, I think it's about time we sent them a letter asking for it," Councillor Emerson Deseardine stated, pointing out that Stephen had already paid its similar fee. "I've mentioned it to Bill (Reeve Bill Sitter) twice at county council meetings", Reeve Sturdevant reported. Grenier then suggested a Let- ter be sent asking for the mo- ney, which is now two months overdue. Council was int or med by Clerk Murray A. Des Jardins tha Hay township had still not paid ifs retainer fee and fire brigade has been instructed not 'to answer calls until it does. This means that alt cottages north of highway '83 . are not protected by the . local brigade and must get the Zurich or Dashwood brigades to answer their fire calls. In other business. council: Learned that over $200.00 in fines had rebated to them for charges laid by the local OPP during the month of June. Received a letter from Wil- liam Bower staling that he had installed an "apparatus" in Earl Deters and Rollie Grim- which to burn garbage on his property at the Imperial Art Gallery and that it had been approved by Fire Chief Law- rence Mason.
