Mr. Thomas. .
During the brief discussion,
Reeve Anson McKinley of Stan-

cent provincial budget which
gave a 50 per cent tax rebate to
farmers but deplored.. the re-
source equalization grant which
"treats the land as a taxable re -
ca to be equalized".
"A lot of strange formulas will

-Town council received a
deputation Monday eveseng from
Harold Remington regarding the
installation of storm sewers and
the`; ,nng. of a road in an area he
is developing.
,Mr. Remington, accompanied
by Lawyer Allan Mill, stated that
W he purchased the land, a
de ,elopm nt of six acres in the
Bert Pa 'ch, he was not in-
formed t t he would be required
to install both sanitary and storm
Sewersalong with the paving of
the road into the development.
einted out that prior to
learnitg of this condition he
would have had to sell the lots at
a cost of $3,563 to break even,
whereas with the addition of the
two,. factors, the installation of
storm sewers and the road pav-
ings the cost of each lot would
'have. to, be $5,744 to come out
even. The cost of the lots is con-
sidered too high and would pro-
hibit; their sale.
Codicil explained that they had
only Mealy been informed of
iius requirement by the Ministry
nettles and Inter -govern-
mental Affairs.
Mr. Mill told council that since
the agreement to develop the
land; was Made prior to Jan. 1,
1906,16. Remington might not be
required to • meet these condi-
tions, Two other - developments,
the ..'.'red, Moore subdivision and
Sunset Crescent, which were
registered after Mr. 'Reming
ton's, were not required to meet
these standards.
Mr. Remington said that if it
was necessary to do the added
work he would not be able to de-
velop the land and thus the town
would lose out on what he esti-
mated would be $10,000 in taxes
for the developed land. At present
the town receives approximately
$50 per year in taxes from the
area.
If the town agrees to allow Mr.
Remington to proceed with the
development minus the storm
sewers and the road paving the
municipality may, hbwever, be
completely responsible for road
maintenance. If the sewers and
road requirements are met the
town will receive a 50 per cent
subsidy on the maintenance from
the provincial government.
Councillor Jack Gillespie was
opposed to making a decision at
this time for fear of setting a pre-
cedent in which the town would
have to foot the bill for other
developments which have not
met these specifications.
Mayor DeWitt Miller, suggested
he, would get more information
from the Ministry in 'Toronto.
Council agreed to postpone a de-
cision until after the mayor has
made his report.

Huron County offered the r
ices Of their 'weed ` ccontr of
spector and .asked for at early,
decision.
Most councillors agreed that
since the town pays for this Serv-
ice it should be used. Councillor
Margaret Bennett argued, how-
ever, that the ;inspectors don't
appear to have done: a very geed
job in the past and' warned that
the town is sacrificing its
autonomy.
The Maitland Valley Conserva-
tion Authority asked that the
town turn over controlof the two
dams in Wingham to facilitate
decisions about the raising and
lowering of water levels in the
Maitland River. Mayor DeWitt
Miller commented that such a
move would seeem necessary to
co-ordinate the proper manage-
ment of the Watershed. Council
agreed to the request.
Huron County also forwarded a
letter and questionnaire asking
