ratepayers are concerned
high outlet assessment cost
for Hensall's Richmond.
Street South drain are going
to set a dangerous precen-
dent for farmland drainage
assessments in the future.
Ratepayers affected by the
drain and members of
Tuckersmith Township
council attended Hensall
council Monday night to
question the $95 acre
assessment costs for far-
mland east of the village,
The village is building the
drain to solve the problem of
periods of heavy run-off
when water floods Richmond
Street South and surroun-
ding area arid also ponds on
farmland immediately east
of Hwy. 4.
Burns Ross, of B. and M.
Ross Associates of Goderich,
told cost the estimated cost
of constructing the enclosed
drain will be $149,270.
Council hopes to begin
construction of the drain this
year.
While the costs of the drain
will be assessed against
lands and streets in the
village of Hensall,
Tuckersmith Township
ratepayers outside the
village have been assessed
'$95 acre outlet costs for the
drain running east of Hwy. 4.
H.H. Todham, consulting
engineer with Todham and
Case, a Chatham firm, who
specializes in land drainage
projects, was hired by B. and
M. Ross to draw up
assessment costs for the
project:
Drainage responsibilities
Mr. Todham told the two
councils and the ratepayers
Seniors to
name title
that he used as a rationale
the fact a farm or property
owner with water draining
over the surface of his land
doesn't have the right to let
the water flow onto lower
ground. He said the 'owner of
the higher ground is
responsible for the costs in
getting the surface water
away, He said his belief with
the South Richmond Street
drain is that the higher
lands, in, this case the
Tuckersmith Township
farmers, have the respon-
sibility for paying drainage
costs,
Mr. Todham said the cost
of draining the land east of
the highway is between
$36,000 - $40,000 which is
"really not the village's
responsibility."
He said 25 percent of that
sum is benefit and the
remaining •75 percent is .
outlet assessment on ap-
proximately 200 acres of
farmland. The engineer said
he tried to be fair in his
assessment and tried to
share the burden of costs,
Frank Falconer, a
Tuckersmith council
member, said the township
has 75 other municipal
drains and no other engineer
put the drain outlet
assessment above $5 an
acre.
He said jokingly, "Why not
move Hensall up to about
Hillsgreen" as a solution to
the drainage problem. Reeve
Harold Knight of Hensall
replied, "I thought you were
going to Amove us to
Vanastra."
Tuckersmith's deputy
reeve Bob Bell said in
looking over past drainage
records for the township, the
highest assessment costs on
farmland he's found was
slightly above $6 per acre.
Mr, Todham said there is ditch, but that can't be done
no question "the assessment in this case.
is an expensive, cost per can't he done in this case.

Culvert WOO
Ratepayers at the meeting
agreed highway construction
in 1964 closed off a culvert
near the Bell property,
which in turn closed off the
way of escape for runoff
water, bringing it into the
village,
Goclerich lawyer Jim
Donnelly, representing Bob
Cook, said his client feels the
$95 per acre assessment is
"a little out of kilter," He
said while Mr, cook
welcomes the drain project,
he feels the assessment is
disproportionate to the
history of assessment in the
area,
Bill Rowcliffe, another
ratepayer affected by the
drain, said, "farmland is
just not assessed at this rate
for outlets."
Mr. Todham told
ratepayers and Tuckersmith
council that they had two
alternatives - to protest the
entire Richmond Street
South drainage project
before the Drainage
Tribunal or to approve the
project but fight the
assessment rate at a court of
revision hearing.
He told the ratepayers, "If
you're not prepared to pay
the cost of us (the village of
Hensall) looking after it,
then you look after it
yourself."
As the ratepayers were
leaving the meeting, they
indicated to the press that
they would be seeking a
court of revision hearing,
Hensall council voted to
proceed with the Richmond
Street South drain and
passed a bylaw to borrow
money for the project.
Council members then
decided to set the date for a
