Robarts family - coundl Continued from Page 1 being made of chicken coup material. "The value is in the location. The value is what the property fronts on -=- the lake — and therefore very valuable. The frontage is the key," he said.. "This is not a refusal. We are only asking to be left as we are and to be protected. We are only interested in peace and quiet. We don't like., the anxiety; an uncomfortable atmosphere has developed because of this and we suggest it would Save the town time and money if the sewer• was angled. slightly onto the town property. I say this as a layman; It has always surprise& me that an outlet would be put preside an intake (referring to the water treatment plant below the property). ,Britannia road has already been used for , the .purpose, why not use it again? "By just going at a slight angle after it crosses Hibernia Terrace Might do it. Or perhaps council could close Hibernia, we'll buy it and,;the money can be used to re-route the sewer." Mr. Robarts also suggested 99 feet was a lot of land to house a sewer and suggested the sewer could be located strictly on the town owned property. without interfering with the Robarts land at all.

Basements of homes in the area have been flooded on several occasion in the past when heavy rain falls. Mr. Robarts said his family did not -want to stand in the way of progress but merely suggested there .could be an alternative route for the sewer. Dr. Mills said the engineers had said this was the route that must be taken. He asked Mr. Rdbarts that if it should be that the proposed route was the,best one, would he be willing to sell. Mr. Robarts said he would have liked to stall the answer to that question but added "...if we don't sell I suppose it will mean expropriation. I don't want to see this thing dragged out for years — the individual against the state. You all know what lake front property is worth. Ninety-nine feet is out of the question." Dr. Mills asked if Mr. Robarts. would be willing to meet with the engineering consultants, B. M. Ross and associates. ."Engineers can get me all tied up," he replied. "I would rather have a reasonable approach by businessmen," but he agreed to Meet with the engineers on Friday.

PUC. Mr. • Sheardown suggested it could be 20 years before a subdivision is. built there and said he could see no reason why the rule could not be followed. He called it discrimination against the owner. He said the owner had offered to pay the $4 per foot if the PUC would agree to install the line and accept payment later. The commission refused, according •to a policy that requires payment in advance. Councillor Ed. Giesbrecht said the policy is ridiculous.
