Many of the problems that had been mulled over at previous Meet- ings in regard to the plan were dis. cussed again, and it turned out that after considerable discussion, al- most -all repreapetatiVes and board members felt that the transporta- tion problem Was the big item. Many felt that to bring students to the Clinton school would be asking too much of the pupils. High School District met with members of the board on Tees- day . evening of last week to ob- tain further information on the proposed composite school to serve Exeter, Clinton, Seaforth, Goderich and Wingham. areas. Two members of the board, Chairman A. D. IVIacWilliarn and Robert Hetherington, with Prin- cipal b', E. Madill, had attended an earlier meeting at -Clinton which Was addressed by Dr. S.

Sup- ervisor, Most important item of business on the town council's agenda Mon- lay evening was a decision to en- gage a consulting engineer to make I complete survey of the sewage system in Wingham. The survey will include investigation of the existing system, to determine where it is inadequate, and esti- mates.as to the cost of bringing it up to modern and adequate stand- ards. Councillor D. C. Nasmith,•chair- man of the pUblic works committee,. told council that D, M. Ross, con- sulting engineer of Goderich, had been invited to attend council and offer his opinions on the system, Mr, Ross explained that the sew- age system would require a three- point program. The first, to pro- vide sewage for areas in which new housing will be •built; second, flooding conditions in the system and third, the disposal problem. system over the other, but that both should be considered and costs worked out. W. W. Gurney, of the Wingham - Turnberry Planning Board, who has been working with council on the problem, was also at the meet- ing and suggested that the over- loaded conditions of the sewage system may not be as difficult to overcome as it might appear, He also felt that sewage could be pro- vided for new housing areas be- fore an improved disposal system Was completed. Mr, Ross was in- clined to agree, but from the var- ions dismissions it appeared that nothing -could he done until late 1962. After Mr. Ross left the meeting council discussed the subject at length, and on motion. of Council- lors Nasmith and Kerr decided to engage the services of Mr, Ross to undertake the survey of the sys- tem, Through Streets A by-law creating through streets was read and approved for for- warding to the Department of Highways. This will mean that all streets intersecting a through FIRE. VICTIMS ARE STILL HOMELESS There is still one family of eight persons, victims of the recent fire, who are without ... living accommodation.

If you can help in this regard please phone Capt. G, S. New- man, 129, Mr. Ross told council that if his firm were engaged it would take about four months to complete the survey, and estimate costs of im- provements. Another six to eight months would be required to make the engineering plans before ten- ders could be called. Cost of the preliminary - survey would .be one per cent of estimated costs or a minimum of $1500 if no action was taken on the proposed plan. If action was taken, survey costs would he absorbed in the overall cost of the project. Mr. Nasmith told council that a Toronto firm had already made suggestions as to requirements and was asking about $5,000 to snake the preliminary survey, In his remarks Mr. Ross said that suggestions had been put forth on the lagoon type of 'disposal.

Named as through streets were; Victoria St., from Diagonal Road easterly to town limit; John &lt., from Minnie St. easterly to town limit; Diagonal Road, be- tween Josephine and Victoria; Min- nie St, from John St. to Water St. Council discussed the matter of speed limits in the vicinity of the public school and Cleric William Renwick pointed out that any change would require a separate by-law. The -clerk read a list of overdue taxes and said that since last meet- ing all taxes due for 1958 and ear- lier nave been paid, with the ex- ception of one residential proPerty and one vacant lot. Council de- cided to take action in these two cases. • The clerk also read a list of building permits which included four covering new houses totalling an estimated $47,000 and another for $56,770 for the three-room Sep- arate School. Councillor Nasmith read the routine by-law for supplementary estimates for street work which amounted to $5,000. He also went on to say that work was progress- ing well on resurfacing the streets approved for this work at the last meeting. Council also approved the resurfacing of Water Street from Josephine to Minnie, and a short stretch -at the top of the Wa- ter Street hill leading to the Bai r ry Door plant and Western Found- ry. Council discussed the resurfacing . of the sidewalks with asphalt and all reported favorable reaction on the part of the citizens. It was learned that this type of improve- ment is costing only 25 per cent of shriller work done in concrete.

Approximately fifty people, both men and woman, came directly. to the hopPital with blood type cards and, willingly donated their blood. Mrs. I.

These pebple we thanked, and told them that unless we. ex- hausted the type needed, for their own health sake we could not use their donations at this time." "It was a revelation to see such a response from our town and dis- trict—to know that in' time• of need so many, people were.so kind and considerate. Unfortunately this case had an unhapPY 'ending, but the' knowledge that everything possible was 'done to try tO:sa.ve- a life, should be a comfort.
