(Photo by Hodges) Bandstand Walls Are Poured At Clinton Park J. McMurray, secretary of the Clinton Agriculttiral Society, reports that work on the new bandstand at Clinton Community Park is well along. On Tuesday 100 feet of walls were poured—six feet high. • The bandstand is located directly opposite the- centre of the grandstand, and has piping incorporated in the walls, to which extensions may be ad- ded, and a tarpaulin or other wall and perhaps roof may be erected as occasion warrants. UC Received Mayor's Reprimand lans Survey Roof Water Outlets Mayor M. J. Agnew laid down he law quite firmly at the meet - ng of the Public Utilities Com- nission held on Tuesday evening. le stated that be was quite 'fed - p' with the way in which the 'UC continued to "pass the buck'''. o the Town Council at every neeting which he attended. • The mayor indicated that since he PUC had been set up to ad- ninister the hydro, water and ewerage systems of the town, herefore it should do just that, nd not run to the Council when he going got tough. He suggest - d that it was a strange thing that hrough the years the PUC had aid down sewage mains on its wn authority. and then suddenly, his year, had run to the council vith regard to the main presently leing built north of town th the t. J. Deseck propery. The matter arose during discus - ion of the method in which sew - rage back-up such as had occur - ed at the home of J. R. Cameron, ould be avoided. As Commission - r George Rumball stated (agreed o by the other commissioners present) the main reason for the ewage back-up was an over- upply of roof water run into the anitary sewers, The sewage sys- em had not been built with the ifttention of accommodating this •roof water, and it wry" aeainst the sewage by-law for a property own- er to run roof water through the sewage system. As a resell of the discussion, Superintendent 3. Randswas in- structed to have his men make a thorough survey of the town and report on the properties where the by-law was being violated in this respect. This . report is expected at the next meeting of the PUC. Meanwhile a letter is being sent to Mr. Cameron stating that the PIM does not feel entirely respon- eible.thr.the difficultyencurred in hie basement. • Other discussion of the meeting, included staff salaries; repairs to, the staedpipe base; completion of the main to the Deseck Property; consideration of finances. The Ontario Municipal Electric Association convention at Hespel- er next Wednesday was discussed, and an expense account authorized for any commissioner wishing to attend. Chairman H. R. Hawkins presid- ed over the meeting, and Commis- sioner A. 3. McMurray, secretary, Was present. The meeting had a unique feat- ure—no requests for new services of hydro, water nor sewage were presented to the Commission. Revision Court Reduces Assessment DI Clinton's Oldest Manufacturer Councillor Dr. H. A. McIntyre resided for the meeting of Court 1 Revision held on Monday even.: ng in the Council Chamber of he Town Hall, when three appeals vere heard for adjustment of as-, essment. Members of the 'Court, A. E. lhaddick, Stewart Schoenhals and ieorge Knights passed an unani- 10US motion to return the assess - sent of the Sherlock -Manning gam Co. Ltd. to what it had been a 1953. Re -assessment in June f this ,year had raised the piano, actory's assessment by 28.5 per ent from what it has been since 949. Dudley- M. Pegg presented the ase for the piano factory, re - narking upon the fact that it had een a jolt to recognize the in- rease,when no change had been i aade n the use of the buildings ince county equalization had been lade in 1949, At that time the ompany's- assessment had been 'sed approximately 60 per cent, nd though they had felt it pretty iff, they had not appealed then. Mr. Pegg had asked if all in- ustry in Clinton had been put on new assessment schedule, and ad received a negative answer. e reviewed the use of the rmild- gs through the year, mentioning e increased difficulty experienced indestry this paSt season. At time when other industries were osing down. and sending their ployees home, Sherlock -Man - 'ng had continued production, ying off only ten men. As a ult of this by mid -lune the orage space in the factory was ocked with more than 100, pianos. Assessor J. W. Manning and nty assessor A. Alexander ex- ained in some detail the method arriving at the assessment fig - e for the factory, which resolved a change from ,40 per cent de- ction for non-use, to a 25 per nt deduction.

"It would appear that the penalty for event this year, is all out of proportion to our service to the community," 'finished Me Pegg, Questions concerning the engine room revealed that this part of the factory had not been tiSed for three, years; but •that there \ was $400 assessment against it. • Corm, Shaddick • recommended that the assessmeet be reduced o the level of 1953, and this was passed unanimously. ' 1 '• • Ar. Deseck Owner of the new development at the north end of town, A. J. Deseck questioned the assessment of the four, acres bordering the highway, which had been set at $100 an acre, Mr. Deseek reported that no change had taken place to the land, and that he could not see why it was not still assessed as farm land. The assessors' point of view was that •the 100 -foot deep frontage was worth a good deal more than land back of it, and that it defin- itely could not be termed farm land. Decision of the court on this Matter was withheld until Monday evening at the' regular • council meeting. Mrs. Egan Mr. and Mrs Norman Eget, Bolton,presented their appeal against their property at the cor- ner of Isaac and Wellington Streets. • Since • the house , Was 27 years old, they could seelittle reason for the assessment being so high in relationship to new holise.s. 75th Birthday Of Church Celebrated At Hohnesville '(Byour Hohnesville correspondent) The 75th anniversary of Holmes- ville United Church was observed on Sunday, September 26, with the Rev.

Garrett, prot- estant padre at RCAF Station Clinton, to Clinton Lions Club Tuesday evening in St. Paul's Par- ish Hall. The impressions of the speaker were gained at first hand, as Mr. Garrett only returned in July after serving with the Can- adian air force wing at Zwei- brucken, Germany. , Fel, Garrett touched on many subjects pertaining to Germany: its people, the war destruction, politics, re -armament, etc. The city of Zweibrucken, which was badly bombed late in World War IL is now beginning to prosper again. This is mainly due to the Canadian air base nearby; in much the same way as our own Canad- ian towns which have service camps in their area. The Zwei- brucken air base was built by French enghteers with German contractors and labor. Mr. Gar- rett described the canip as quite modern and complete. Just recent- ly married quarters have been built between the city and airport. An 18 -room school with Canadian teachers was opened this fall for servicemen's children. The speaker travelled to many of the beauty spots and historical sites in Europe, but remelted that "We in Canada have just Is many beatitiful places and historical at- tractions".Mr. Garrett told of being in Little Current, Manitoulin Island, recently, and remarked of the .beauty to be found, there R Thecs eaawkseorn waans di n tt hr oat ceedd bb.)31, MEET11OSPI HOSPITAL oAcTLIOLIonErY WILL 4 George La.vis, •The regular meetieg of the Clin- The dinner meeting was in the ton Hospital Auxiliary will be held charge of resident Rome Mac- oti Monday afternoon at the Ike- aulay, with 36 members anti three Intel, at three o'clock.
