Ivan Becker appeared before Hay council at the township's regular meeting Monday evening to protest re- cent bills amounting to•almost $500 as his share of the cost of repairing the section of the Schwalm drain running through his 37 -acre property.

Damage allowance and right of way benefits paid to his father ( then owner of the land) at that time were the basis of the presentassessment, in accor- dance with the tile drainage act and a 1971 engineer's report which stipulated then that all future assessments refer back to the 1964 report. (As the original petition did not come back to council, the. work had to be classified as • repair maintenance and assessed accordingly.) Lionel Wilder, incoming reeve, reiterated what he had previously saidat a ratepayers' meeting: no . repairs .on drains will be undertaken in future without a preliminary on-site inspec- tion, an engineer's report, and signed consent from affected property owners. This will avoid similar situations in the future, . but can't bemade retroactive. The council agreed Becker's costs seemed too high, but they have no authority to act outside the terms of the municipal act. Reeve Mousseau asked clerk Joan Ducharme to im- mediately contact John Johnson, Ontario drainage coordinator, to see if he could come to Hay township this week during an • already scheduled on-site inspection of the St. Joseph Airport and West Branch Black Creek drains to personally examine the disputed Schwalm drain.

(The menu was not beans but roast beef. ) All agreed, and the figures confirmed, that 1982 had been a good year. Receipts were up, and the farm tours will be part of the festivities again next year, after being so well received this.time. Expenses included an addi- tion to the stage and putting new elements in the cookers. The cost of food was up, com- pared to 1981. The committee.. hopes expenses will decrease. next year; the bean kitchen building is now complete, and no large expenditures are - foreseen. One complaint had been received from a resident on the Goshen linewhohad hun- dreds of people driving ,into his lane to ask for directions to the Festival. Outgoing president Chuck Erb sug- gested the committee check into the possibility of erecting more temporary signs direc- ting traffic to the village. Those present voted to con- tinue keeping a monetary cushion in the bank. Thousands of dollars • are spept each year preparing for the Bean Festival before any revenue comes in, and a pour- ing rain or other calamity on the actual day could be disastrous financially. Resolutions • were passed donating $500 to Meals on Wheels, $800 for free Saturday skating again this year, and giving $1,500 to assist with the 85.400 cost of repairing the boards in the arena, provided that project is not already covered by a grant. (The arena has passed an inspec- tion which will be in effect for the next five years.) The committee will also find out the cost of wooden garbage containers similar to the new ones now in use in neighbouring Hensall. The Cost will include the purchase of plaques indentifying the donor. Special thanks was express- ed to Larry and Louise Merner for allowing their .dairy operation to be part 'of the farm tour, and to the Bank of Montreal for looking after the money on Bean Festival day.
