Meeting is set to consider reporton Johnson drain A meeting will be held in mid-January to consider the pre- liminary report on the Johnson Drain, East Wawanosh Township council decided last week. It selected Jan. 17 for the meeting but will check whether that is agreeable to Morris council. The meeting will bring coun- cillors from the two townships together with ratepayers along the drain and township engineer E. W. Shiftlett to discuss what should be done to repair the drain, which is used, by land- owners in both municipalities. Mr. Shiflett attended council's meeting ,Dec. 6 to explain his preliminary report, in which he confirms serious problems with the drain exist and presents two alternatives for repairing it. The Johnson Dram at ,present has insufficient capacity along its entire length, he said. This is because the drain originally consisted of an open ditch to which a tile was, added in 1908 to supplement its capacity. Over the years the open ditch, which he estimated had carried three quarters of the water, was filled in leaving only the 12 inch tile to • bear the whole load. An engineer's report prepared in 1961 recommended the existing tile be supplememented by installation of a larger tile Belmore 'Miss Gail Renwick • who has been attending University of Waterlog received word last week that she has won a Huron County Bursary. She also won an optometry scholarship for profic- iency in her first .year studies. The Belmore Midgets cameout on top in a 3-1 hockey game with Normanby. Other local teams were not so lucky, the Tykes de- feated by East Howick 10-1; Squirts losing to Normanby 9-0 and the Intermediates trampled by Pinkerton 6-1. parallel to it, he said, but no action was ever taken on the report. The alternatives Mr. Shiflett -presents in the preliminary report are: (1) Installation of the supplementary tile as recom- mended in 1961 or (2) Replacing the present tile with one large enough to carry the whole flow. He estimated the cost .of the first alternative at $44,749 while the second was estimated at $67,408. Subtracting available grants would cut the actual cost to the ratepayers considerably,. he indicated. He said he couldn't imagine landowners opting to have, the surface ditch reopened. He also noted that for the dram to function properly the Ellison Drain into which it flows should be cleaned out. Currently the outlet into the Ellison is under about 11/2 feet of water. This clean, -out is not included in the estimated costs of repair, he said. He did not recommend one Alternative over the other but told buncil it is obligated to repair the drain so long as any of the landowners paying into it de- mand sufficient outlet. 'Majority agreement among the' land- owners is .not necessary for repair though it is for installation • of a new drain, he explained. He said there is a misunder- standing among some of the landowners in Morris; they think that if they refuse no work will be done. "The point I'rn making is 'that that's not true," he told council. "It's up to you whether it gets done or not." He also noted that not all the landowners on the drain in Morris Township are violently opposed to the ,repairs, "although it might have appear- ed so at the field meeting." The major impetus for getting the drain repaired comes from East Wawanosh farmer Karl Whitfield. Mr. Whitfield ap- proached council in September to demand a. proper outlet for his drainage. A portion of his farm is underwater and he is unable to grow crops on it, he said. He agreed to circulate a petition for the drain repair and subsequent- ly a field meeting was held and the preliminary report prepared. R.
