The community extends sympathy to the family: Biyth drainls up in the air It is still undecided if an en- gineer should. be called to make a report on the- Blyth Creek Drain after a meeting. between Morris Council and ratepayers on the drain. Council met with the rate- payers Sept. 20 to discuss the cleaning to be done on the drain. Reeve William Elston asked. those present to. consider if they want an engineer on the drain or if council should go ahead without an engineer's report. Three petitions have been .re- ceived by council to clean dif- ferent portions of the drain. As a result of the petitions, almost all of the drain will be cleaned. • Council had started cleaning a portion of the drain when some . ratepayers felt an engineer should be called because of con- flicts as to what portions of the drain should actually be cleaned. Many wanted to know how much . the cost would be to them with and without ann engineer. Council decided' to complete cleaningfrom the centre 'side- road east to the 7th line and use the cost of this as a basis. for ,the rest of the drain. ,If an engineer is called, council would be eligible for a grant, amounting. to one-third of the construction costs. This portion of grant might or might not cover ' engineer fees. It would be pos- sible for the fees to be above the grant portion, Mr. Elston said. With an engineer, cleaning of the drain could possibly be stalledfor two years, depending on how long it took to make the report. A future meeting will be held to .assess the cost of cleaning the portion east of the centre side - road to the 7th line and to decide. if an engineer should be called.
