Associates, engineers who pre-
pared plans for sewer workon
Goderi h streett this year, .wrote
informing council their fes
would be $2920.50 and asking
for $1500 on account.
'Councillor Kellar asked if any
itemized bill was rendered. The
Mayor said the fee is based on
nine per cent, of estimated cost
of $33,000. The town must pay
it regardless of whether the
work was done.
The Mayor said Ii. Trapnell
had complained of odor from
the disposal plant soni;e nights.
Reeve Scoins said he had noticed
a smell along south Main street,
'Councillor 'Leslie said be had
visited the disposal plant sever-
al warm nights and was unable
to detect any smell. 'Councillor
;Christie said a smell one night
at the bowling green was •more
like chlorine, but he had no
idea where it 'eame from. Some
councillors suggested any smells
bad been :ronc burning rubbish
and not from sewerage plant.
Reeve 'Scoins reported no new
relief cases but bill is higher
this month.
'Councillor Scott, 'parks com-
mittee chairman, asked when
was (best time to plant 'tulip
(bulbs and was told October, by
the Mayor, who is a 'horticultur-
alist
A 'motion was passed to pay
S. Shinen $39.75 for fence re-
pair re sewer, also 430 to Pete
Eisenbach for young maples,
about 50e each, for street plant-
ing, Councillor Habkirk re-
marked that every 'tree planted
last year had grown, except one.
Building ,permits were con-
firmed to Seaforth Lumber Ltd.,
for new planing mill on 'Rail-
way street, cost $6000. Also to
(Mrs. Bertha Minett, garage. on
south side of residence, east
$500.
Notice was read from Cana-.
dian 'Bank of Commerce of in-
crease of interest rate from
4?/_•% to 6%n.
Any property purchased for
industrial ipur1poses must be ei-
ther in the town or adjacent.
Land not touching the borders
could not be annexed was the
opinion of Town Clerk Wilson,
during discussion of acquiring
land.
Reeve Scoins was informed
streets committee had not reach -
.ed a decision about a drain on
the south side of town which
was said to flood the area with
water partially from Egmond-
vilie.
Councillor Christie thought
the services of an engineer
should be available where cor-
rect levels were required. Coan-
eillor Kellar said there are three
well qualified ditchers in town
who work at close tolerances.
The Mayor asked what action
council Iv anted about Silver
Creek cleaning, Councillor Chris-
tie said he remembered an en-
gineer said it could be widened
but not deepened.
The Mayor said another en-
gineer made profiles showing a
six or eight -foot fall. The idea
was to straighten out the creek.
It was pointed out that 'permis-
sion would be required from all
property owners at Egmondvilie,
and last time it was cleaned
some signed on rendition that
the creek would not be straight-
ened,
At flood tune water backs up
all the way from the Bayfield
river. Also the railway bridge
is a bottle neck. 'Councillor
Scott said if the fellows with
fences would take them out in
the fall much flooding eould be
avoided.
Council will look the situa-
tion over.
Reeve Scoins asked what
about opening a second crossing
of the •C.N.R. tracks west of
the station. Cost would be up-
wards of $4,000 and a wigwag
would also be required, he was
told. The Reeve said forget
about the whole thing.
