In the matter of the Kirk and Young drains in the township of West Wawa - nosh a'nosh and in the matter of the appeals of Henry J. Kerr, William Dodds, Richard McWhinney, James Watson. Nelson McLarty and David Sproul, His Honor Judge Dicksonson has given judgment or follo*s: Looking at the petition, the bylaw and report, it will be seen that the lands of the appellants. Bete, Dodds, McWhinney and Matson, being lots 16. 17. and 18 in the 1st concession of West Wawanorb, were not included in the original- scheme. These parties were not petitioners, nor did the petition refer to their lands, as a lands to be affected. The pe apparently dad not consider these lands should be brought into their scheme fix draining their lands, and they did not look to the appellants for any share of, or contribution to, the cost thereof. It would have been in the interest of the petitioners to include all the land possible. 1 have no doubt in my own mind that the petitioners were satisfied at the time they initiated the drainage scheme that the lands cut the appellants would receive no benefit and were not in any way asse s- able for the work, whatever they may think now. It has been stated that the petitioners intended the drains to be con- structed under the Ditches and Water- courses Act, and for that reason did not Include lands which might be brought in under the Municipal Drainage Act, but the petitioners do not say this. and their petition as well as the proceedings throughout conclusively prove -that they did not intend the drams to be con- structed under the Ditches and Water- scourses Act. The engineer of his own volition, in making his report and preparing the by- law, has brought the lands of the appel- lants into the scheme and it is worthy of comment that the bylaw, which was prepared by the engineer, erroneously states that the petitioners have petitioned the council. praying that lots parts ltd to IS. iS 18 inclusive in concession 1, etc.-- which iscootrary to the fact. With the exception of a small area at the north the appellants' lands are low. flat and mostly swamp. and I feel perfectly satisfied that the flat and marshy portions of these lands cannot be reclaimed by the scheme of drainage such as is proposed here. I am convinced that open drains,, through this swamp to connect with the prop.rsed drains would be useless. Sevezal wit- nesses state that open drains would till in and this is easily conceivable under the i existing local conditions. The low lands 1 of the appellants extend over a. very ilarge area. described by one witness as a peat bog. by other witnesses as a swamp. The engineers who gave evidence say that it is difficult to discern the flow of water. Mr. hog rs. the engineer of the respondents, states that he took levels and found the fall to be to the north, while Mr. Farncombe, the appellants' engineer. states that he took levels and found the fall to be to the east and south.

The flow of water at the best would be sluggish and therefore the more likely to fill in. Tile draining of the swamp to connect with the Kirk drain at a depth and fall for a proper tile drain would be impossible, nor Is it suggested by Mr. Rogers as practicable. The mator Portion of the lands of the appell into are now unimproved and it u hard to conceive. as far as the low and swamp landi_.are concerned, what benefit they can acquire by the proposed drains. These portions are not of a nature or kind that they can be converted into arable or agricultural land by this scheme and I am doubtful if they can be improved by any other scheme. The evidence shows that there are flowing springs within this area, also that there are various large holes some four or five feet in depth, and as I have pointed out there exist the small heights of is<nd. i t seems to me unquestionable that all the water from the lands of the appellants with the exception of the small area to the north flow into this bog or h, which appears to serve as a natu I reservoir and receives and retains sue water, except in flood time, and that then any surplus or overflow is carried to the east and south and not in the direction of the Kirk and Young drains. The low lands cannot be increased in market value by the proposed drains. There will be no future benefit to these lands, because as 1 have stated open drainage through them to the Kirk and Young drains would be impracticable and the appellants could not if they so desired efficiently and successfully: underdrain, to connect with the proposed drains, and i must relieve them from the overcharge in their assess- ments.

There is no evidence upon which 1 can place any reliance to show that there is any water of the appellants' low lands which naturally flows north.' it was shown that for a short distance in the n err and Dodds lar ds water is con ducted north by means of the Ferguson drain and the drain from Curry's land in Colborne in the southwest end of the Kerr land, but. when the course of the Ferguson drain i (allowed to its outlet it. too, we find flows into the swamp on Dodds' lot, while the other drain from Curry's land on to Kerr's has a ridge of high ground on either side and he -water in this drain is carried to Arid finds its outlet on Dndd's land. The assessment of 5100 for benefit charged to Kerr 1 will not disturb, as it is difficult upon the evidence to say definitely or accurately to what extent the northern portion of his land will he benefited, and Engineer Rogers has fired the benefit at $100. while Engineer Farncombe says that he would not quarrel with the benefit assessments.

Then watch each clerk's sales climb. The light from HYDRO Gas Filled Lamps. if installed with proper fixtures, is kind to workers' eyes. Clerks don't tire so easily; they're not so irritable. They're more alert and are able to wait on more customers in less time when the light is right. Experts of the Hydro -Electric Power Commis- sion of Ontario recommend HYDRO Gas Filled Lamps for store lighting. They're worthy of the Commission's endorsement because of the qual- ity and volume of their Tight. the long Life of the lamps and their low current consumption.
