Mayor Daly said the first had known there was a meet was when he read in Friday's pars that a meeting had be held at Wingham and the for tion of the new authority h been effected by a vote of 13 favor and 5 opposed,'and t five other municipalities incl ing ,Seaforth had not been rep sented at the meeting, "What burned me up," mayor said, "was that this w the first I knew of such a me ing." Clinton is opposed and th have an assessment of only 30 of their area, Seaforth has be assessed at 50% of its area, Inquiry had revealed that no ces were sent out two- mont . by registered mail, but the was apparently no notice rete ed here. One would expect that the would have been some follow when there had been no ane from Seaforth, some reminder case the matter was overlooks Other municipalities which were not represented were Bly village and the townships West Wawanosh, Maryborou and Kinloss. Councillors wonde ed if they had been notified. Mayor Daly said it was fanta tic that Seaforth should brought into it at all: Only on small corner of the town drain into the Maitland. The sewerage plan drains entirely into the Bayfield River. He understood the assessment is set at $29.98 per $1,000 capital- ization. On $100,000 capitalize.- t ;:ioh, for . instance, this would • mean an annual cost to Seaforth of almost $3,000.00, for which the town would derive no benefit whatever. Places like Listowel and Wing - ham, with flood problems, would benefit and would- be happy to have other places share their costs. It was necessary to act quickly and besides writing a letter to the Ontario department of com- merce and development explain- ing that Seaforth' had received no notice and is opposed to the scheme, it was decided to con- tact the local M.P.P., Chas. S. MacNaughton. Councillor Cardno.thought a• 10% assessment would be -a lot closer. It appeared someone had looked at a map and said every- thing very thing north of Goderich Street drained to the Maitland River. Mayor Daly said it would be interesting to know what the opinion was of the other muni- cipalities which were not repre• sented at the meeting. to ver oln- the Wa- ing lie ing pa - en nra- ad in. hat ud re - the as et ey en ti hs re iv re; np, wer in d. th of gh r - s bs e s Reeve Scott Fairservice, of Blyth, told The Seaforth News on Tuesday that to the best of his knowledge no notice of the meeting had been received by his municipality. Asked what the feeling of Blyth council is to- wards the scheme, he said they were not in favor. Municipalities opposing for• mation of the new authority were the towns of .Clinton and Goder- ich, and the townships of Hullett, Colborne and Goderich. Municipalities in favor were the townships of Elma, McR1I Turnberry, Minto, Wallace, East Wawanosh, Morris, Grey, Howick and Arthur, and the towns of Palmerston, Wingham, and Harriston. The village of Blyth, the town. of Seaforth, and the townships. of West Wawanosh, Maryborough, and Kinloss, did not attend the meeting although they were elig- ible to vote. The new authority is expected to be officially recognized at the beginning of 1962. It first has to be passed by provincial order -in - council. Each representative at the. three-hour meeting gave reasons for and against the new authori- ty. The main reason cited against the formation was highassess- ment. All municipalities in the watershed area will be subject to assessment when the authority is .0fficialy recognized. Chairman of the Middle Matt land authority is Harold Cousens, of Elma Township.

The plan consists of trunks for section of town north of Goderich Street and pumping station on Goderich Street east, specified as Partial Phase No. 1. Phase No. 2 consists of lagoon, force main and pumping station with remain- der of trunks on Goderich Street and other streets having access to Goderich Street pumping sta- tion. Phase No. 1 only, to be pro• ceeded with at present." Chairman of the sewerage ,com- mittee, Councillor John Turnbull, reported on the meeting of him- self and Mayor Daly with offici- als in Toronto last , Friday. The above resolution is in line with the discussions. As stated last week, the OWRC will ask the Municipal Board to approve the $320,000 project ex- pecting a refusal. They will then, however, proceed with the $185,- 000, 185;000, Phase No. 1 with the appro. val of Seaforth council, who do not want to tackle the• bigger project at this time because of the financial burden. It was further explained that the lagoon and other part of the Phase No. 2, are ,capital costs which would become a tax on all ratepayers, whether on the sewer or not. To avoid this until such time as sewers can be made a- vailable to more ratepayers, only Phase No. 1 will be done. It will A comparison be a charge only on propertie concerned, and is critical at thi time because North Main St. i to be rebuilt by the County Huron next summer.No part of the $186,000 come under Federal aid. The financial expert, Mr Campbell, had informed them that the annual frontage cost on the project would be 40c ft., plus water rates. He had said that ratepayers could pay $5.71 cash sewer frontage. He had revised this a little and said that $600 should install house connections and pay a 60 -foot frontage. Councillors got into discussion bow this would compare with the winners.
