Creek drain in the Township of Step
hen, and for borrowing on the credit
of thenounicipality the surn of 81764,-
58 foi completing the same,
Provisionally adopted the 19th day
of January, '1894,
Whereas upon petition of a majosity ofthe
ratepayers ieterested thesnoun ell et Stephen
did appeint one Thomas Weatheral an En-
gineer clue patent to snob work to examine
the locality of proposed drain and snake his
report.
A.nd whereas in accordance with his re-
port the council did, on the 8rd day of October
1881 finally pass a by-law for the purpose of
going on with the work wider the Municipal
/Drainage Act, and, o ribise the necessary
'Money therefor, but such renort and such
by-law did not make provieion for the
menntibinance of said wokk when completed.
And whereas George Lawson, a person in-
terested therein and who is injuriously affeo-
111 consegnence of the improper state of
sepair of said drain, did by and through the
authority of the provisions of Section 553
sub. ears 2 and 8 and sec 685 sub S00. 2 notify
the 'council of tb.e township of Stephen in
writing that his lands were iejuriously af-
fasted In consequence of want of repair and
proper outlet.
And whereas thereupon the said council
procured an examination be made by F. 'W.
l'arecom be being a person compotaut for
each purpose, of the seid loottlity proposed
more ant ctually to be draiend by cl ean ing
out, removing. obstructions, deepening and
widening and if 11 ecessary getting a more
suitable outlet, and has also procured plans
and estimate of the work to be made by the
said F W. Farnoom be and the assessment
to be made by him of the real propertyto
be benelitted by such W i Chin 1 gi deepening,

Stating as nearly as he can the proportion

ing, removing obstruotions and a 'better out-
let by every react and lot or portion of ;ot,

' LONDON, ONT., Ang.17th, 1893.
To the Reeve and Council. of the Township
of Stephen in session assem bled.
GEN TLEMEN:-In accordance 'With instruo-
tions received frora your honorable body I
havo made an examination of the ditch or
drain commonly known as the "Mud Creek
Drain " commencing at the line between
lots 1.1 and.12 in the 10th concession in the
Township of Stephen. and extending north-
erly across lots 11 to 15 both inclusive in the
10t11 Con, of the Township of Stephen and
from rat 11 South to lot 5 in con lo both in-
clusive and from lot 5 con, lo South through
lots 4 eon. 3 both inclusive con. 111ot 2o S B
Stephen and across lot 2o in the N Bdry.
eon, of the Townehip of McGillivray and
across lots 3,4 and 6 in condi.
In making an examination I find that the
drain above described is for the most part in
a very bad condition having filled in consid-
erably since originally constructed and, be-
ing altogether too small in capacity to con-
ey the water from the lands above described,
and that Rowing upon them from the higher
lands above, much to the damage of adjoin-
ing lands and. roads. • •
1. also find that in order to obtain a proper
outlet in the Township of McGillivray it
will also be necessary to deepen, widen and
strengthen the creek from the present outlet
across lots 3,4, and 6in the 15th concession
of the said Township •and that the adjoining
lands would be more or less improved.
I have made the neeessary ,survey of the
above work and have staked it out and have
taken levels, commencing at the line be-
tween lots 11, and 12 in the 10th concession
as shown on plan, hereto attached, piecing
stakes along edge of drain two obains or
eight rods apart and taking levels al. same
and in bottom of ditch, where no change in
coarse is necessary throughout. The stakes
are numbered. o, 2, 4, 0, ote.,and. the levels
are taken on the ground beside -the same.
In the assessment I have endeavoured to
distinguish between the higher and outlying
lands and the adjacent and lower lands
which will evidently receive the greater ben-
efit.
The dotted blue lines on nlan attached
sbow approximately the outline of low or
swamplands using the drain for outlet,
In the accompanying Profile the cut in feet
and decimals of a foot are shown at eaoh sta-
tion of 8 rods ale° the depth of earth to be
taken from the bottom of the ditch which
will also require to be widened somewhat.
Where the drain passes through timbered
lands the trees to be felled and alllogs and
brushwood to be remove& so far from the
edge of the ditch that none may be covered
by the earth excavated. The earth to be
thrown out 3 feet clear of the edges of the
ditch and so equally as possible on both sides
of same and spread to a depth not exceeding
1 foot unless otherwise ordered by the En-
gineer or Inspector in charge of the work.
Whenever the dramn. leaves th.e old channel
of Creek at any crooked place for the pur-
pose of streightening the same and im nrov-
nag the flow of water, the earth excavated to
be east upon the side on which the old chan-
nel lies and whenever practicable the Con-
tractor should clump the earth into the same
Prober openings to be made in spoil bank
at all low runs and at sufficent intervals
throughout.
I estimate the cost of the above proposed
work as follows: -
Excavating 14266 oub, yds. at 180. $1854.58

and profiles, estimate, preparing and

Sodom.
The debate Style vs, Tea came off as
announced. The affirmative contended
that as pride was so severely denounced
in Scripture, and that style was the
natural prodnction of pride and thaa
it caused misery and want and that it
was the prolific cause of $o many as-
signments and that the extravagance
in dress in church eoing members con-
tributed largely towards spreading the
evil. The negative shevved that tea
was a financial, physical, mental, mor-
al and spiritual evil and should be de-
nounced by ehristian people. That tea
had only been in use in Europe 230
years but now almost in use in every
family ih christendom. That the poi-
son contained in 1 lb. was sufficient to
kill 1,500 frogs or 40 eats. That tea
was not spoken of in scripture for the
simple reason that the plant was not
known when scripture was written.
The descision was give.n that style was
the greater evil. On Wednesday even-
ing 21st inst., the relatiye influence of
men and women will be discussed.
Probably some singing will be done.
