Tuckersmith Township Council will go ahead with the installation of water meters in Vanastra this fall in spite of complaints from 2 or 3 residents, Reeve Elgin Thompson at a council session in Brucefield Tuesday night, said one of those against the meters suggested that it would be better for each householder to contribute his installation cost of the meter., toward paying off the debt in- curred by the Vanastra Recreation Board. The debt is reported to be about $96,000 and is to be paid by tax- payers in Vanastra. The meters are estimated to cost about $80 each for the 216 homes in the hamlet. One of the decisions made among several to install meters is that 60 percent more water is used at Vanastra than should be. A committee named to study the water system and meters and the Ministry of the Environment, which owns the water and sewage system both recommended the installation of meters. Councillor Robert Bell seemed to voice the opinion of council when he said "The biggest ad- vantage for meters is that those News from Huronview The variety program for Family Night was provided by members of the staff and was rated by the residents as one of the best.

Carl Boersma and Alfred Dykstra of the fledgling Christian Reformed Church at Vanastra attended the council meeting to protest the huge water and sewage bill for the church received recently amounting to over $600 for the year. Stating the church is used only for one service Sunday morning and a couple of evenings for Church activities Mr. Boersma suggested his church should get a preferred rate as do churches in Clinton. He said his church membership is only beginning with about 25 persons receiving membership in the fall. Council asked Mr. Boersma for time to study the problem before coming to a decision. George Radford Construction of Blyth was awarded the tender for construction of the O'Brien Drain amounting to $2,475. Work is to be slat ted immediately. The Radford tender was the lowest of two.

Road superintendent Allan Nicholson reported Neil Hopper had checked out the Egmondville water system. He stated Mr, Hopper had said a different pump on well would be able to produce double the amount of water now pumped. Council decided to order the pump at a cost of $700. The members considered building a well in addition to the pump to meet the demands of new home builders in the hamlet. Passed for payment were accounts totalling $81,165.78, including Day Care, $3,849,52; general, $30,802.32; Vanastra recreation, $20,354.11; and roads, $26,159.83.
