Goddard said, in his case, if he rebuilds his driveway, as he hopes to do, the change will divert water to his neighbour's yard. Sangster, who lives adjacent to God- dard on Nelson and Rich- mond Street, told council his basement floods with each heavy downpour. "I'm getting damn sick," said Sangster. "I just want what the other people get. I don't think you should run water through my cellar and I have to pump it out. When it rains, it is three inches deep." He said he felt a catch basin would control the water, and added he has had the problem since he moved tq his Richmond Street home three years ago. "If it keeps up, I'm going to have to get money to fix my foundation," he con- tinued. "I'd sure appreciate W if you could do something about it." Goddard challenged council's explanation that there were no further funds available this year. "Why don't you increase your budget ten to 15 percent every year?" he asked. "Pretty soon you won't be doing anything." Goddard and Sangster left before council discussed the matter further. As he left Goddard said: "I'll be back next month, then you can tell me what you're going to do." "There was no problem until they put in the storm sewers," reeve Paul Neilands told -council. "We can't do anything this year. The subsidies are all used u Two options are available to solve the problem. Councillor Cecil Pepper estimated the cost of in- stalling a catch basin would be about $2,000. The second alternative, adding a new sidewalk, would cost about the same amount. Hensall council rejected a request at its June meeting, Monday, for a donation to the Hastings County flood relief fund, set up after flooding of the Moira and Skootamatta left $800,000 in damage, this spring. Council pointed out Hensall is only a small municipality and added it had not donated money to the Woodstock fund after a tornado swept through there two years ago The Hensall fire engine, adorned with signs promoting the village's centenial, will participate in the parade at the 125th anniversary celebration in Z urich in July, council decided. Building inspector Her- man Van Wieren told council three building permits totalling $22,000, were issued in the village in May. Council accepted with regret, the resignation of Roy Bell from the Hensall Parks Board and passed a by-law to appoint Tom Neilands to the post. The parks board also reported final arrangements are being made for a ball game set for July 7, between the California Guiles and the Hensall Legionaires. Game time is 7:30. Council instructed Van Wieren to get estimates for repairs, including hot sur- facing, for the roof of the town hall. Following his investigation, tenders will be called. Council accepted a recommendation from its ,property committee that blinds, which would cost about $200, not be purchased for the 15 windows on the second floor of the town hall. In her report councillor Minnie Noakes noted the decision was solely to cut costs. A motion of support was given to a resolution of the city of Kingston which would make the third Monday in February an annual civic Fair building Continued from front page be received from council until the committee can indicate that the necessary money has been raised. Cameron responded in the affirmative when Councillor Morley Hall asked if the funding would fall back on council if insufficient funds were raised in the canvass. The former said there would be an element of risk for council in much the same process as the rec centre project when funds were being spent faster than they were coming in from donations during the can- vass. In answer to a question from Campbell, the com- mittee member said he felt the building would aesthetically fit into the grounds. It will be covered in yellow steel and will not be heated nor have a cement floor, although Cameron said these could be added later if desired. It is expected the facility will have many uses when erected in addition to being used for the fair. holiday in honour of John A. MacDonald, Canada's first prime minister. "I think we should have a holiday to commemorate John A. MacDonald, the founder of the country," said Reeve Paul Neilands. "Canada doesn't brag enough about its history," added Noakes before the motion was passed. Hensall will donate $200 to the Town and Country Homemakers, a non-profit organization based in Wingham. The group, which provides in-home care and assistance, hopes to raise $10,000 for a downpayment on a house which will house their offices. "Its a wonderful service," Noakes told council. "I don't think $200 is going to hurt us," added councillor John Skea. "Its a good service." Reeve Neilands declared a conflict of interest in the Homemakers grant request. Park fence Continued from front page be about three times the regular fee for speeding. In supporting a four-way stop, one area resident said it would be a small in- convenience to local traffic but added it was a small price to pay for a child's life. Council had received an offer of $100 from the Kinettes for the fencing material and the Kinsmen had offered to erect a fence if it was approved. Council turned the park safety situation over to a committee headed by Tom Humphreys, who indicated that the fence would not be erected in light of the opposi- tion. He said bigger signs may be erected to warn motorists of the playground location. Humphreys said he would not be in favor of painting cross -walks on the street as it could be similar to a "bowling alley effect" where several youngsters could be endangered by all crossing in one area at one time. Councillor Gaylan Josephson and Jay Campbell said the police should be in- formed of the residents' complaint about speeding in the area and the former said some of the suggestions by the property owners for alternate safety measures should be considered. The resolution to turn the matter over to the comittee included endorsement of the idea to advise police of the parents' concern for speeding in the area.
