Water hike is "too much"
By James Friel
Following Lucknow village council's
move to raise the rates to non-residents by
50 per cent, Kinloss resident and Lucknow
' water user Ab Morton registered a com-
plaint about the hike.
"l'm only two doors out of town and I've
always been connected to Lucknow water,"
he said. "I put a new copper line in and
paid for it myself.
"I get a letter from council about a 50
per cent increase when the only trouble
they have is • up on Quality Hill (Ross
Street) with the connection."
"He's in the township, that's the reason
for the increase," said Councillor Ab
Murray at the regular council meeting Nov.
9 after Morton'letter was read.
"We're not supposed to be supplying
services to the township, the same as in
Wawanosh and Ashfield."
Murray added that the municipality is
selling water at a loss and "It's got to be
corrected."
Council concurred.
When contacted Nov. 25, Morton said "I
wouldn't mind if it increaseda little but 50
per cent is too much.
"'BW -there's nothing you can do about it.
They've made up their minds."
Honorarium increased
Council agreed to a proposal ' from
Kinloss Township council to increase the
honorarium given to. Jean Whitby for
serving as the municipalities' representa-
tive on the Wingham and District Hospital
board.
Whitby, completing her first year in the
position, received $250 for 1985 and will
receive $300 for her next term. ,
Kinloss and Lucknow each contribute 50
per cent to the payment.
