Doug "l'hompson spoke to council about a de- cision to refuse him a loan of $7,500 for a tile drain to be installed at his Saintsbury Line home. While the loan would come from the province, it had to be approved by council. Council couldn't approve of the loan be- cause Thompson went ahead with the work be- fore council knew it was being done. Thompson claimed he didn't know the tile drain needed to be inspected. Thompson accused staff of- the former Bid- dulph Township of not doing their jobs and not properly telling him what he: had to do to get the loan approved. • "I'm not .prepared to let go of this. I think I got screwed," Thompson said, adding that he felt none of the municipal staff took the time to deal with his problem. Council agreed to in- spect the site, at Thomp- son's expense, to prove the tile drain had been installed. When that hap- pens, the loan will be ap- proved and Thompson will get his money. "Let's inspect it and move on," Coun. Glenn Silver said of the tile drain. Thompson then con- ceded to council of the mixup, "It's mostly my mistake. I admit that." Lucan Biddulph ad- ministrator Ron Reymer said the township will try to avoid the problem in the future by making sure each loan applicant has a copy of the re- quirements. Council chooses Exeter Music EXETER — Exeter. coun- cil decided to go with Exeter Music Centre for a wired sound system for council chambers to replace the wireless one installed by Sound Advice. The wireless public address system Sound Advice installed proved to be unwieldly for council- lors to operate, the fallout of which proved to be a sticking point between council and Sound Advice. Exeter Music Centre's tender of $1,360.91 for a wired system came in below Sound Advice's quote of $1,383.45.

At Monday's regular council meeting, Coun. Peter Armstrong instruct- ed chief administrative officer Rick Hundey to include discussion on a possible infiltration pro- gram with mandatory sump pumps for the base- ments of new homes on a future meeting agenda. Armstrong said he wants to look at a program that would end the possibility of another costly problem some homeowners on Pryde Blvd. faced last year when sewage backed up into the homes from base- ment drains. Lucan has a similar pro- gram that has greatly reduced flows to its sewage treatment plant.
