FROM BLYTH
At its Dec. 16 meeting, North
Huron council asked Clerk-
Administrator John Stewart to look
into the possibility of `cameraing' a
watermain to see if there's any
problem with the line.
The move was taken in response
to a letter from Bill and Brenda
Burkholder of Blyth, regarding
damage to laundry due to rust in the
water. Stewart said he had spoken
with Mrs. Burkholder about the
North Huron bills and accounts in
the amount of $801,362.70 were
approved for payment at council's
Dec. 16 meeting.
***
Council authorized the transfer to
Blyth water mapping reserve in the
amount of $2,000.
***
Council had no objections to the
South Huron Youth for Christ using
Riverside Park for Praisefest, June 7
on condition that proof of adequate
liability insurance be made available
to the municipality.
***
A printer will be purchased
for the recreation department in the
amount of $580 plus taxes. Money
will be taken from the transition
fund.
***
Stewart advised council that the
Blyth arena project will come in on
budget or slightly under.

Eleanor Babcock attended the Dec.
16 meeting of North Huron council

be intimidated by the dollar figure as
the projects were things the
committee would like to see happen,
but realized it would probably not all

occasionally and for no particular
reason that can be found.
"Through the letter she says she
wants something done so it doesn't
happen again, but I don't know what
the answer is."
Stewart explained this had been a
problem in several households when
the village first started chlorinating,
but no longer. The lines are flushed
on a regular basis, he said, and the

could be made with regards to
hanging baskets, a cost of $1,500, as
they need to be ordered soon.
Also on the list were lights for the
Christmas trees at a cost of $500 and

Digging it up would be no solution
as the place where it is dug may not
be where the corrosion is.
Councillor Jeff Howson suggested
the camera as the house is not that

he added.
"But it's the lesser of two evils
now," agreed Councillor Arnold

She also said the committee would
like to see more flags like the one at
the south entrance which cost $500.
However, if they were to buy half a
dozen the cost would be reduced to
$269 per flag.
An amount of $1,000 was
included for more work in the
Memorial Garden and $300 for a
tree of life in the kiosk.
"Whatever money we'll have,
we'll work with it. Nothing must be
done, there are things that should be
done."
Elliott when asked said the
committee had no plans at this point
to do any further fundraising.
Council agreed to consider the list
at budget, but did pass a motion for
the committee to proceed with the
hangingbaskets.
