champ Creek drainage scheme, to have
their views on the action: that ought to be
taken in the bill to be brought before
Parliament by the township of Grey for
the purpose of legalizing the scheme so
that the work may be done. 8. large
number of those intereet08 ware present
and a big majority of them were in favor
of One work being done and nob in favor of
opposing the said bill. Some wanted a
ebauge 01080 in alae assessment, owing to
them having made arrangements for a
portion of their water to go in a different
direction, and in fact all would be better
suited if the outlet could be brought to
the townlioe. The Reeve and Clerk of
Grey, who were present and had a Dopy
of the hill, explained that it would be im-
possible to bring the outlet to the towu-
lino, as no provision was made in the
scheme or the amount of money to be
raised for that purpose. The Reeve of

ere from Logan were also present and

has reoently been brought from Elms to

cil then adjourned..
