Change assessments
on Beaver drain
At a continuation of a court of revi-
sion on the Beaver municipal drain,
the original report was amended to
change assessments in two areas.
The drain initiated by the town of
Exeter begins in Usborne township
and crosses Highway 4 into the
township of Hay and the town of
Exeter.
The first portion of the court of revi-
sion was held July 14 and recessed un-
til Thursday to allow engineer Don
Pletch of Huron Middlesex Engineer-
ing to make some changes as directed
by the four member court.
An appeal from Harry Winters and
other partners of Huron Tractor
claiming that part of the land assess-
ed was actually draining into the
Cann -Mitchell drain. Their assess-
ment was reduced from $1,770 to $380.
The other two appeals came from
Usborne township farmers Gordon
Strang and Allan Rundle who claim-
ed the drain was not needed and their
assessments were too high. '
As a result of the recalculation, the
town of Exeter will be charged an ad-
ditional $3,640 for developed lands and
this amount spread back over five
Usborne properties as decreases in
assessments.
The Rundleassessment was chang-
ed from $3,875 to $3,060; Strang's from
$2,930 to $2,315; Ross Beaver from
;6,260 to $4,945; Exeter Produce from
$4,035 to $3,325 and Dan Bree from
$890 to $705.
The second sitting of the court of
revision has been set for Monday,
August 25. All involved property
owners will be notified of the changes
and will have a chance to appeal up
to 10 days prior to the second court of
revision.

the money we now have."

TuckersmLth..ge1..s.report_
on landfill -site progress
A report on the progress of the
Seaforth and area landfill site com-
mittee was given at the Tuckersmith
township council meeting Tuesday
night.
Deputy Reeve Robert Broadfoot, a
member of the committee, outlined
the engineer's report on the testing of
soil conditions at the proposed
138 -acre site, part of Lot 36 to part of
Lot 39, Concession 1, Tuckersmith
Township, owned by Richard
Kootstra.
The report indicates the majority of
the test drilled portion of the site
would be acceptable for landfilling,
but that the south section would not
be useable for this purpose because
of saturated sand deposits. The test
holes near the river and along the
north boundary of the property show-
ed very little permeable soil and the
Bayfield River appears to be pro-
tected from leachate contamination.
Engineers from Conestoga Rovers
& Associates will supply a plan show-
ing the areas of this site that are
definitely unsuitable for landfilling,
the areas that are confirmed as being
safe and the marginal areas between
them. The recommended bottom
elevations will be established for the
terraced landfilling areas and the pro-
posed development and operation of
the site and its anticipated capacity
and life will be studied by members
of the committee.
The laboratory work will be com-
pleted and the draft final hydrology
report will be ready about the middle
of September. -

ding expected from the Ministry of

ed this year.
Prout continued, "At the present
time we're preparing our budget sub-
mission for 1987 and would like to in-
clude tht two dam projects as part of
our 1987 program."
The projects estimated to cost
$35,000 would include structural in-
spections of both Morrison Dam and
Exeter Dam and dredging of the
reservoir behind Exeter Dam •
The cost to the town of Exeter as
the benefitting municipality would be
$4,725.
