'rhe property owner, Charles Bentley, now owes a total of $2,546.12 in ditch levy on his property at Lot 25, Con. 3, Howick Township. The original assesment was $1,845.05 back in 1979. Interest on the back taxes has so far amounted.to $701, with a further $138 interest to be added on at the end of June. Mr. Bentley appeared at the June 5 meeting of Howick Township Council wanting to know "Who is responsible for this drainage ditch running through my place?" Mr. Bentley was told that the council let the contract for the drain in question to Maitland Engineering, on behalf of the township. Mr. Bentley complained that the banks along the ditch have fallen in, a fence along the ditch has fallen down and the ditch is full of water. "And you think the t wn,akfip'f oulld pay for ft?" abed Om. John Jacques. "tau, not going to pay for it;" replied Mr. Bentley. Reeve John Stafford told Mr. Bentley that his com- plaint was a bit late because drainage matters can only be appealed to the County Drainage Tribunal "up to a year after the work is completed or 21 days after the court of revision is held on the drain. Mr. Bentley did not appeal to the tribunal, nor did he attend the court of revision. "Legally there's no way we in council can do anything about it and as far as I can ' see, neither can you," said Reeve Stafford. After three years ditch levy becomes part of the property taxes and as such, the land becomes subject to a tax sale. Mr. Bentley's land will be eligible for a tax sale this fall,if he does not pay the levy before then. "That farm will pay for that drain one way or another under the law," said Reeve Stafford. "Our hands are tied, if he wants to take legal Faction, that's his only course, " Said UCW group holds Hollinge Y r tan MacKay , Ian Ward and Mike Cullen posed its June meeting BELMORE — The June meeting of the Belmore- McIntosh United Church Women was held last Friday evening at 8:30.
