A public meeting was held prior to the Nov. 29 session of West Wawanosh council to discuss mat­ ters concerning the new municipal drain at Lots 24 and 25. Cone. 5. As a result of the talks, it was decided the drain would run through John Thompson’s property and outlet at the line adjacent to Ken Leddy’s at South Part Lot 25, Cone. 5. The decision to fill in a 200- metre ditch on Joanne Sproul's property would be optional. If the ditch was filled, a hickenbottom costing $1,200 would be installed with the costs shared between affected property owners Sproul, Roger Pannabecker and Bernard Boyle. While Thompson and Leddy do not require a permanent laneway, Sproul will make her decision at the time of construction so a corrugated steel pipe can be installed. The drain will be called Cook- Leddy Municipal Drain. Council granted $1,000 to the Brookside Public School junior playground equipment fund for the replacement of unsafe equipment. It is payable on proof of purchase. Authorization was given for the payment of road and general accounts in the amounts of $6,116.38 and $24,015.15. The landfill site supervisor will be paid a flat rate of $55 during the winter. Council concurred with a petition from Goderich Twp. council asking the provincial government to take action to ensure a greater degree of consistency in nutrient manage­ ment planning across the province. Support was given to a petition from Hanover asking the federal Shed burns in Morris and provincial governments to make a concerted effort to address problems in medical funding, medi­ cal school enrollment and training and the provision for an adequate number of physicians in all set­ tings; rural, urban and northern communities.
