cases, because of the small

sewage is finding its way
into storm drains, he said.
Neil McMullen, of the env-
ironment ministry's dist-
rict office, said one area
discharging water into the
Walker Drain, which runs
into the Ausable River, was
found to contain raw sewage,
The water is definitely
unsafe for human consumpt-
ion and most of it unsafe
for swimming, he said.
Michael Latta, of the proj-
ects co-ordination branch of
the environment ministry,
said the ministry is working
with limited capital funds
and must concentrate proj-
ects in areas of proven need.
Mr, Latta said the cost of
including the Southcott area
in the sewer scheme would
probably outweigh the bene-
fits.
In spite of concerns voiced
by a number of people, includ-
ing a London doctor specializ-
ing in bacteriology, the hear-
ing was told there is no cause
for concern over a possible
"overspill" of the lagoon
system proposed t handle the
sewage from the village.
Dr. Leslie Hatch of London,
while supporting the sewer
system, questioned whether
the lagoon system would imp -

Two townships
discuss housing
The council of the town-
ships of Tuckersmith and
Stanley will be asking the
Ontario Ministry of Com-
munity and Social Services
to conduct a survey on the
need for a senior citizens
housing unit to serve both
ni unicipalities.
Stanley clerk Mel Graham
asked Tuckersmith council
last Tuesday night if they were
interested in a survey. He
suggested several municipal-
ities could consider a 35
unit apartment. Brucefield
was considered as a possible
because of its location at the
border of both townships.
The province pays all build-
ing costs of senior facilities
and 92.5 percent of any deficit
which may occur plus a grant
in lieu of taxes.
Tuckersmith clerk Jim
McIntosh reported that 12
children were currently
enrolled at the Vanastra Day
Care Centre. He was instruct-
ed to contact the towns of
Seaforth and Clinton and the
townships of Stanley, Goder-
ich, Hullett and McKillop
asking them to assume their
share of any deficit which may
occur.
The province of Ontario
assumes 80 percent of any
deficit but participating mun-
icipalities are expected to
share the balance of any
deficit.
At a previous meeting,
Robin Gates, a member
of the Day Care committee
said a deficit would develop
unless 43 children were enroll-
ed.
Karen McEwing, director of
the Vanastra Day Care Centre
asked to have her salary and
benefit program establ-
ishd. Council was annoyed
that the director's salary was
not established at an earlier
date.

Opposition was also voiced
to the across-the-board rate
system proposed for sewer
system users. Summer resid-
ents said they felt they
were being unfairly charged
for a system they would use
not more than 50 or 60 days
of the year.
Under the sewage system
repayment plan spread over
40 years, with 75 percent
financed by the province,
a homeowner with a 60 -
foot frontage and a home
assessed at $2,750 would
pay $114,29 annually for water
and sewers. If he were not
connected, he would still have
to pay about $65 but there
are provisions for a munic-
ipality to require all home-
owners to hook into a system
once it iS completed.
Mr. Latta agreed with the
Southcott area residents
they might not be receiving
any direct benefits by not
being part of the system, but
said there were indirect
