similar work and he received
excellent recommendations.
Work on the Seaforth
tower is currently being
carried out and the work in
Lucan is expected to start
October 15 and be completed
within 14 days.
A recent inspection of the
Lucan tower and tank by
Horton Steel indicated it was
in reasonably good condition
and would continue in that
manner if the necessary
repairs were done in the near
future.
Clerk Ed Melsanson said
he checked village records
and found the tower was
built in January of 1947 at a
total cost of $13,650. He
commented. "That's -a good
indication of what inflation
has done over 32 years.
At the same meeting
council ratified a garbage
collection agreement with
C..II. Lewis Ltd. for the next
year with an increase of 10
percent over last year's
contract.
The charge for. weekly
pickup. of residential and
domestic garbage will in-
crease to $3.04 from $2.76 for
each of the 13- four week
periods during the year. The
commercial rate will rise to
$5.54 from $5.04. .
- The agreement was
negotiated with Cec Lewis
for as long as he is able to
retain a certificate from the
Ontario Ministry of the
Enviroment for his land fill
site in Biddulph township.
In making his presentation
Lewis said. ':I can no longer'
guarantee the land fill site. I
hope the licence will be
renewed. but, I can't
guarantee it."
He commented, "Last
year we spent $5,800 on a
study and installed pipes in
the ground outside the
properly to monitor gas and
water. Now the Ministry
wants us to spend $15.000 for
more holes.and pipes.'
- The four inch monitoring
pipes are drilled 25 feet -into
the ground to check the
amount of gas escaping and
the quality of water.
Lewis continued. "If we
ever lose our licence, the
garbage will have to be
taken to Southwold where
the charge for dumping is $6
per ton..
The amount of garbage
collected during the
last 12 months in Lucan was
about 1300 tons.
Council agreed to the 10
percent rise for the next 12
months and would review the
situation if and when the
local landfill site licence is
lost.
Lewis said his present
landfill location should be
good for the next 20 years.
