McEwan, south of Hensall .on Highway 4, on Friday, stealing a wallet containing $50. On Monday they, tried it the second time in broad daylight, only to be foiled in their attempt by a neighbor, who saw a car drive in the laneway with two men in it. One man got out of the car and the other drove the car away. The neighbor phoned the McEwan home to ask for Mr. McEwan, only to be greet- ed by a strange voice, stating "he was Jack McEwap". This frightened' the robber, who im- mediately ran and got into the car which had returned. Mr. McEwan, who is 79, hap- pened to be alone in the home on .both occasions and was not harmed. OPP Cpl.

Area Ribbed and Dublin have worked together for more than three years in an effort- to clean up- a pollution problem present in•• the village, according to John Nagle, inspecting trustee for, the village. ,Mr. Nagle was referring to a repOrt dealing with the situa- tion which was released by the Ontario Water Resources Com- mission. _In its report, which was pre- pared following a review of the problem last August, the OWRC said the Liffy ditch whichpass- es through Dublin, is being sub- jected to' gross pollution from several 'sources. The report stated that these pollution sources represented both industrial and domestic sewage and no improvement could be expected until such wastes were either disposed of elsewhere or subjected to more effective treatment. "We have received full co operation from Hibbert count in our efforts to clean up th situation," Mr. Nagle said. "I the three years I'ye been i office, the Reeve of Hibbert an Councillors have spent coun less hours trying to resolve th matter," Position Clear Mr. Nagle said the ' positio ofeathre. village and township wa el "Our positioV is that th clean-up must begin upstream at .the head waters of th stream, with action being tak en in every case where 'there is pollution. Failing this, we feel there must be a clean-up of the major offenders and then move on to the smaller domes- tic problems." Mr. Nagle said the OWRC was aware of the condition btt had' refusedto' act. Thee wet eases of "strong pollution nort, of No. 8 Highway in an are Where neither Hibbert or Dub lin had • responsibility, but stil their was no co-operation in carrying out corrective mea sures. ' Reeve Earl Dick. of Hibbert agreed with Mr. Nagle. "It's hard to know what to do next. The OWRC doesn't tel us whether it is going to do anything about the pollutioi hat is entering the township rom north of No. 8 Highway We can't do anything about hat when it isn't in our town- ship." He added that much of the material in the report had been 'prepared more than a year ago, but the report Was just now made available to the township, Mr. Nagle described how last fall the township in an effort to control the movement of • efflu- ent from a lagoon into a muni- cipal drain had prepared a by- law governing the emptying of lagoons, the essential part of which was to place control in the municipality, but the bylaw failed to receive the approval of the OWRC. • Nnot Informed Referring to the recommen- dations in the report that muni- cipal officials make a consci- entious effort to ensure that sanitary wastes do not reuch municipal drains, and that a poultry plant operating in the village be pressed to complete the second five -acre cell of its lagoon System, Mr. Nagle said municipal officials had made consistent efforts but had been defeated by lack of necessary regulations and co-operation from provincial authorities. He said the second cell of the poul- try plant lagoon System had been bnitti,but it,was not known whether or not, it was in use. The OWRC had not contacted the township or the village about the work, or how it was. being done. The full report follows: ' The purpose of this survey was to determine the nature and extent of both industrial and domestic sources of pollu- tion within the Police Village of Dublin. Such surveys are carried out routinely and upon request by the Division of Sani- tary E.igineering of the Ontario Water Resources Commission as a basis for,evaluating water supply 'and sewage treatment requirements. 1—General The Police Village of Dublin is located south of Highway No, 8 in the Township of Hibbert, County of Perth, within the Bayfield River watershed. The population is listed in the 1964 Municipal Directory as 361. The economy is based around Export Packers poultry killing and local retail outlets. Drainage for the village is itellieved thrcitwh mtuileipal il e n n d te- n e e t e hr, a t f t Which constitutes a part of the upper reaches of the Bayfield River. Two storm drains, the Old and New Statton Award drains discharge to the Liffy Ditch, the newer drain having been completed earlier this spring. II—Wafer Uses 1. Water Supply: No municipal water system exists in the village. Individual supplies are from drilled, wells and in some cases service more than one building, The Export Packers water supply is also available to three households and one commercial establish- ment. 2. Industrial Supplies: As with residential supplies, industrial water requirements are provided by means of deep drilled wells. The Export Pack- ers firm has a 208 foot deep well supplying up to 50,000 gallons daily. Frequent sampling indi- cates that. the quality is satis- factory. 3. Recreational Uses: The use of any watercourse for recreation purposes is not of significance. lit—Water Pollution 1.
