Many other home basements• in "higher" sections of the village were also flooded from the water run-off created by extremely mild conditions. Further to the matter of flooding, Reeve George Joynt of Lucknow advised The Sentinel Monday that he would be recommending to council to engage ; the village engineering firm of B. M.

To rub "salt in the wound", the annual assessment for Lucknow's per. capita membership arrived this past week showing a" figure of $1,736.12 whictr.Lucknov, as a. 'membership fee h i year. Mr..

River • within the village boundaries. • Mr. Joynt further stated, "The authority has Shown irresponsibil- ity in handling the .Wingham. Darn . and othet contentious areas. There is.no way I will 'vote for or approye • 'Lucknow subsidizing,, through ,a per capita, assessment., salaries of fast,buck bureaucrats who operate and manage the Maitland 'Valley Conservation Authority." . • • .
