Blyth council looks
at drain problems
Drain problems in two different
areas of Blyth took up village
council’s time at its June 9
meeting.
Reeve Albert Wasson reported
on an inspection of problems in the
Gypsy Lane area which he and
town foreman Merv Ritchie had
undertaken following complaints
from Mason Bailey. Mr. Bailey had
reported his basement had flooded
last year and he worried that the
situation might become worse with
the run off from a new apartment
building next door. Reeve Wasson
said he could “relate to the man’s
concern’ ’ and said the potential for
a flash run-off problem is worse
because of the new construction.
A proposal to lay a new drain,
probably of eight-inch plastic tile
back a half-block between Gypsy
and Queen streets to dump into the
ditch along the side of Gypsy Lane
was discussed with council approv
ing the idea.
Council asked to see figures
before taking action, however, on a
proposal to solve a problem in
another area of town. Mr. Ritchie
reported that water had been
backing up into the basement of
Mrs. George Watt because a
nearby catchbasin did not have a
large enough outlet to take away all
the water coming into it. The
problem has been exacerbated
because paving in recent years has
put more water into the catchbasin.
Council will consider installing a
larger drain but first wants an idea
of the cost of the project since the
potential to high cost because of
larger tile and street repairs is
large.

injured
A 60-year-old Morris Township
farmer narrowly escaped death on
Saturday when the tractor he was
using to move a rock off a roadway
on a steep hillside on his farm
slipped off the road and rolled
down the hill, crushing him
beneath it as it rolled over him.
Norman Wattam of RR 4,
Wingham, suffered several broken
ribs, a broken jaw, and internal
injuries in the mishap, which was
witnessed by his 12-year-old son,
Ricky. The boy ran across the road
to the home farm for help, and Mr.
Wattam was taken to Wingham
and District Hospital by ambu

said he was later transferred to

in, for most people.
Although very different kinds of
fishing equipment was used and
the boat went approximately six
miles out, the kids still had no catch
to show at the end of the day.
Captain Sam Argyle received a
plaque for donating his boat and
services for the day’s fishing. Even
though we can’t brag about the one
that got away, everybody enjoyed
the event.
