Most of the officials voiced their opposition to the plan, even though, as John Baker said, "I am not just Tuckersmith hear strong petition (continued from page 1) set forth in the Township by- law. In Answer to a request from the Ontario Water Resources Commission on what action the Township had taken on their suggestion that sanitary sewerage be installed in Egmondville. Clerk James McIntosh was instructed to write OWRC that the Council was waiting on the development of the proposed new system in Seaforth which it is understood is adequate to serve Seaforth, Egmondville and Harpurhey. The Clerk was asked to write to Department of Transport and Communications to request that guard rails be installed along Highway 8 at Silver Creek in the Seaforth Lioris Park which was the scene of a recent car mishap. A letter was received from the Director of Huron County Social Services outlining the procedure in converting to the county welfare system in January, 1972. . Ontario Hydro notified Coun- cil it will provide a grant in lieu of taxes on the 3.46 acres of property at the former Canadian Forces Base in Clint- on. A grant in lieu of taxes was received from the Federal Government for the former Canadian Forces Base.

Roger Martin, resources man- ager of the Ausable River Cons- ervation Authority, and a Zurich resident, Gerald Gingerich, both summed the whole matter up quite well when they told Pref ontaine that he had come to the meeting very poorly organized. Both indicated that he should have brought charts and diag- rams with him to show the people where the waste ends up down in the ground after it is disposed of. Martin concluded, "you have not used a very satisfactory way of putting your story across to the people." When asked whether there would be any further action taken, Prefontaine said he would go back to discuss the matter with Hay Township council again, and their decis- ion would be final. Opposition to the waste disp- osal wells in Hay Township had been mounting over the past couple of months, and the matter was finally brought to a head a couple of weeks ago when the Zurich and District Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to the Hay council asking them not to allow the plan to go ahead. At a special meeting of Hay council last week fol- lowing receipt of the letter from the Chamber, a motion was passed to not allow any waste disposal wells in the municipality. While the Citiz- ens News does not have an accurate record of the feeling of council members on the matter, it has been rumoured that there was a split with three opposed to the plan and two in favour.
