The letter came from the OWRC and was apparently writ- ten on behalf of the department of municipal affairs and was addressed to Jim Paisley, "It is understood that the owner (Dow) intends to provide septic tanks rather than sewers. This of course is not desirable when the rest' of the town is sewered," the letter pointed out, and requested that a plan of the sewers in the area be for- warded to the OWRC. Council has already informed Dow they will not permit septic tanks in his new subdivision and one of the purposes of the new Sanders Street sewer was to give him an outlet to put sewers in his new area.

This figure did not include a bill of $155,09 which they will be presented for re- pairing Hurpn Street near the hoepitel. Works superintendent J int Paisley also indicated, there would be mpre bills fop work already done and for which hp has not as yet received ac- counts. Discussion was also held op the condition of Huron Street West, which council has pre,- vionely debated and reached the conclusion that G et fney should be required to do more work to bring it back to the state in which it was before they started construction work. "It's no where near the cone dition it was when they started," Deputy-reeve Ralph Bailey eta, ted. He added that he and Paisley had come up with a suggestion that Gaffney be required to fill the holes along the section of street and the town would pay for applying an emulsion and chips compound to the entire street. This met with verbal approval of most councillors and B. M. Ross was asked to contact Gaff- ney to see if they would do their share of the work. Councillor Ross Taylor pro- tested slightly, pointing out that he felt the holes would sink again after they were filled and it was probably the wrong time to apply the emulsion and chips as the holes would have to be filled again at a later date after set- tling. No further discussion was held. view that this stand would be upheld, despite the fact Dow has informed them that he would have to have the sewer extended along Pryde Blvd. to serve his new subdivision, This prompted the decision to interview residents along this street to see if they would be willing to pay for sewers. Mayor Simmons noted that such a sewer would have to be on a cash basis, and it has already been opined that some residents would not be in favor of sewers at this time. Engineer Ross said he would take up the matter with the OWRC. APPOINT AUDITOR Council passed a bylaw nam- ing A. M. Harper, Goderich, as their auditor for the year at an increase of fees of $300 over last year. Total fees this year will be $1,200, of which the HSDHS board will pay $250, Harper said he was always pleased with the co-operation START ACTION Council took an initial step that may aid Mrs. Jennie Par- sons, who has complained to council sever al times about Refuse trailer - Continued from front page Waste $18,000 Sunday School services at Elim- ville for August 23 and August 30.

However, she will still have to pay considerable money it was suggested, to take advan- tage of the action by council- if it is approved. On the advisement of B. M. Ross, council decided to name the present drain on Carling Street as part of the sewer system, and an advertisement will be published in the near future making this known to residents along this section of street from Huron to Mill and along Mill Street to the east. Noting that only about 20% to 30% of the residents would be in favor of such a move, Clerk C. V. Pickard predicted there would be objections. However, Ross predicted the OMB may okay such a move on the basis that it could probably be proven that several of the residents along the street are already using it as a sewer connection. If objectives are received, there will probably be an OMB hearing on the matter, with the decision coming from that group. Ross pointed out the munici- pality had nothing to lose over starting the action except the cost of the advertising. This sewer line would provide an outlet for Mrs. Parsons, but would still be considerable distance from her residence. starts AUG. 21 By MRS. ROSS SKINNER Weekend visitors with Mrs. Thos.

Reeve Webb noted that the Pinery Park people were in- terested in having the dump moved, with the suggestion they might even help to buy alternate property. Decision was reached to send a bulldozer in to do some level- ling to supplement the work of the town tractor. Fall Showing At 9 a.m. STREET PLANS George McCormick and Chester Korzeniowski of the engineering firm of McCormick and Rankin, Toronto, s ho we d preliminary plans of the road grades, manholes, etc. for main street. The main street is to be de- veloped by the Province of On- tario as a connecting link, and will be paved 3-lanes wide most of its length from Highway 21 to the lake. At present, McCormick and Rankin are waiting for infor- mation from another engineer, William Ayearst, who is pre- paring plans for a water dis- tribution system for the village. As Reeve Webb and the coun- cillors have stated, it would be folly to construct the pavement, and later dig it up and lay the water mains below it. Considered opinion of coun- cil right now, is that the paving of Main Street will not be done this fall. Council Considered the ap- parent Slow down of work by Mr. Ayearst, and the apparent of LADIES' READY-TO-WEAR "going along" with this action which was being shown by the water committee. Reeve Webb did not feel it was council's position to go over the heads of the committee to urge Ayearst to get on with the job. The village has asked per- mission from the Ontario Water Resoerces Commission to in- clude the cost of installing pipes under main street, as part of the total price of the water dis- tribution system. The village has asked the de- partment of lands and forests for a clear ruling on the own- ership of lands from which boats are launched into the Ausable River, near the fish- ing docks, so they can control what is parked there. We have just returned this week from the Fashion Mar- kets and we invite you to see our complete showing of: TELEPHONE BILLS Hay Municipal Telephone Company has asked, th rough their solicitors, that the village hold tax sales, to collect ar- rears of telephone accounts against various properties in the village. They told the coun- cil that unless this action was taken, the company would have no other alternative than to get a mandamus from the courts, The Company notes that they have disconnected all tele- phones with accounts in ar- rears, and feel there is noth- ing to be gained by taking their accounts into the division court. The village will get advice from their solicitor. A question raised was why it now cost just the same to tele- phone at night as it does in the daytime. "Why not reduced rates here," queried CoUnciller Wassmaen. Question of payment of $25 to R. Newman Sheren, realtor, for an appraisal which he made of village property early to the year was raised again. Coun- cillor Wassrearm Commented that "We'll have to pay it, but it's highway robbery, I think." Reeve Webb stated that "You made your mistake when you hiked him. you should have made it clear when you asked him to do it that you wanted the work done for nothing."
