Those on the trip were Rick Gingerich (who bagged the moose). Cecil Regier. Joe Kenda Jr , Dwight and .ferry Zehr and Gerard Grenier. Drains top Hay agenda Don Regier and Jerome Watson at- tended the court of revision on the Becker -Bender municipal drain con- vened during the second regular mon- thly meeting of Hay Township coun- cil to register complaints. Neither had attended the reading of the report. Watson felt he had been assessed for too many acres in one section aff- tected by three branches of the drain, as he had put in tile that engineer Bruce Holdsworth was unaware of. Holdsworth said if Watson could prove the disputed area was under - drained, he would reduce that assess- ment by 50 percent and revise the outlet assessment over the entire drain. Regier had signed the petition for repair on the drain on the assumption he would benefit by gaining a useable outlet, but the proposed plan showed an outlet "ending in the midst of nowhere." He said he would not have signed if he had seen the drawing first. He and the engineer discussed the possibility of angling the line across to outlet in the open ditch, as Regier had assumed it would. Holdsworth said he couldn't see underground, nor could he read minds, but he was quite willing to go back, take elevations, and make any justified changes. Council decided to take no further action on the report until the engineer had examined the situation in com- pany with Watson and Regier, and submitted his recommendations to council. Councillor Murray Keys reported he had attended an on-site meeting at the Beaver drain, and Jack Snell wants his water problem alleviated. The problem is especially acute in the winter, when Huron Tractor and the highway department plow snow into the open ditch on one side,and Petro -Can does the same on the other side. The highway department dug out a portion of the drain last week to help, but it is assumed there is broken tile in the section west of Highway 4 and north of Highway 83. A petition for maintenance signed --by-Wilder-and Glenn Hayter--led-to a discussion of the Logan-Datars drain. (The report, initiated by Stanley Council, was not referred back for a maintenance schedule at the time of submission.) Holdsworth said the pro- blem could be big, or small enough to be corrected with a $200 repair. In ac- cord with a suggestion from the engineer, -Wilder will walk the drain before a request for a minor variance is made to the Ontario Drainage tribunal. The preliminary report on the Neeb drain will be read at the regular coun- cil meeting of December 2 at 2:30 p.m. A motion was passed giving Bill Becker and ARC Industries permis- sion to hook into the Dashwood -Hay drain under section 66 of the drainage act, provided all costs are borne by the.two parties who will be fully responsible for the connection. Reeve Lionel Wilder, Councillor Claire Deichert, Foodland Hydro representative Jim Love and John Groot attended the hydro hearing in Guelph. Wilder said the Hay township delegation is registered as a party, and can submit an oral or written brief as a participant. He reported most of the day was spent arguing about arrangements governing the timing, duration and format of local hearings to be held in Markdale, Sim- coe, London and Clinton, beginning in November. Wilder reported that the township had been in contact with MPP Jack Riddell's office in regard to the need for a water system along Highway 21 to hear that Jim Bradley, minister of natural resources, was at present reviewing his final recommendations, and had taken time to consult with health officials in Goderich. Wilder said that though no exceptions to policy will be made, Premier Peter- son has indicated he will support a proposal when it is brought before cabinet.
