plex. Because of the unsafe
structural condition of the
curling rink the Cowen
representative warned
council of problems in in
surance coverage.
A number of persons wrote
council concerned about the
possible closing of the
curling rink at Vanastra due
to the structural
inadequacies of the building.
It was noted by Councillor
William Brown none offered
financial assistance and he
suggested they should be
asked.
However, Councillor
Frank Falconer suggested
that would come later when
council decided whether to
meet government standards
or close it.
Council expects to meet
with the Minister of culture
and recreation, Reuben
Bates, in Toronto, April 27, to
seek provincial gran^ to
help with the costs of
structural work to be done on
the curling rink.
Council will appoint B. M.
Ross & Associates of
Goderich to bring in two
storm drain reports. The
first one is on Water Street in
Egmondville where flooding
occurred during the weekend
because of the heavy rains
and the melting of the snow

ville due to a petition from 13
residents in that area of the
hamlet calling on council to
“investigate and make
appropriate alterations to
the existing inadequate
drainage pattern in north
Egmondville”.
Kenneth Gemmell had a
drainage petition in to
council and Robert
McGregor, who attended the
council session on other
business, said a drain on the
McGregor farm was not
working satisfactorily.
Mr. McGregor suggested
that drainage tile or pipes of
a larger size should be
considered by council
because of plowed fields with
no fences, no pasture land to
help slow down run-off or
rain waters, that the smaller
tiles could not handle it.
Council members agreed the
matter should be considered
when each new drain is put
in.
Mr. McGregor asked who
was responsible for making
sure municipal drainage
work was stopped when
weather was unsuitable for
construction work in the fall.
He said work was done on his
drain when ground was
frozen and huge lumps of
frozen earth dumped in
drain.
Councillor Robert
Fotheringham noted
Seaforth was having flooding
problems too, He shid the
fire truck pumper was used
again Sunday for the second
time to pump raw sewage in
the town. He said this was
done in spite of earlier
complaints by the township
representatives on the
Seaforth Fire Area Board.
He said it was pointed out to
the fire chief after the first
usage that there was a
motion in the Fire area
board minutes that said the
fire truck was not to go out to
do any outside work except
in emergencies where loss of
life, was involved.
He said the truck should
not be used on orders of a
town councillor and the fire
chief. He said the Fire Area
board was in charge Of the
fire truck and said the next
Fire Area Board meeting on
April 24 would deal with the
problem.
Mr. Fotheringham, who
represents the township on
the fire board, said the legal
firm of Donnelly & Murphy
of Goderich had accepted the
appointment of the fire
board to represent it in the
lawsuit threatened by the
town with the board over
rental costs of fire hydrant
maintenance.
