FRIDAY, APRIL 29 THU SUHNDAY, MRAY 1 5 )ver — HOURS — Mon. thru Fri. - 9-5 a 7-9 Sat., Sun. - 11-5 — LOCATION — The Livery Theatre SOUTH STREET (Beside The Bedford Hotel) GODERICH Sponsored by the eoderlth •uslnoss Improventeef Assocletlon u CII toe gi GORRIE — Work on the Leonard Municipal Drain and its branches will probably not get underway this summer as had been anticipated. That was the observation of Howick Reeve William Newton following a meeting of landowners to hear the report of engineer David Johnson regarding the drainage works. Howick Township Councilto following the report and the, reaction of landowners, referred the report back to the engineer. Reeve Newton said councillors were concerned about objections raised by property owners to the north of the drainage works who questioned their assessment on the grounds that their land does not drain into the Leonard Municipal Drain. "We think perhaps this is something the engineer should take another look at," Reeve Newton said. "It will probably mean work won't get underway this summer, but it looks as though that can't be helped." Thanking the landowners for their interest in the project, Reeve Stewton said council was pleased to see such a large turnout and said another meeting will be called when the engineer submits his findings. Approximately 30 people attended the meeting which had to be moved to the Gorrie Hall from the township office because of the size of the turnout. According to the petition received by the township last year, the area requiring re► drainage is lots 31 and 32 on concession 5,6 and 7 in Howick Township and lot 42, concession 6 in Minto Township. As a result of a site meeting, investigation and correspondence from an- other landowner, this area i was confirmed as requiring drainage, along with lot 42, concession 7 of Minto J Township. Existing drainage in the area was originally installed in the early 1900s. According to the engineer's report considered at the meeting, work to be done on the Leonard Drain and four branches will cost an estimated total of $170,000. Approximately 30 land- owners are included m the schedule of assessment for the drain. Property owners to the north of the drainage works, David Dickert and Tim Bunker, voiced their op- position to being assessed to the extent they have for the works. "Our water never gets over there (to the drain)," Mr. Dickert said. "Why don't you guys come and work on some of this land and you'd know more about it." Landowners in the area suggested their surface water which they said dissipates quickly, doesn't get beyond the area of Mud Lake and another wet area in the same vicinity. Asked by engineer David Johnson if he has any tile on his land, Mr. Dickert replied, "I have a tile from my bathroom." "I don't say we won't pay a little," another landowner in the same area said, "but we shouldn't have to pay that much." Noting the Mud Lake area "never dries up", Tim Bunker said he is sure the water on his place doesn't get as far as the Leonard Drain. "I don't think it up and hot foots it a mile to the south to this drain," he said. Listening to the property owners' description of their surface water, the engineer admitted they could be right and said one reason he had ncluded them in the Leonard Drain assessment is because, "I couldn't see where you were assessed nto any other drainage works." At another point Mr. ohnson said, "The drain is going to cost so much and s rai we've got to get it off somebody . " In other observations Tony Andrade questioned his outlet assessment for what he considers to be largely "swampland". Dealing with the same swampland, John Armstrong questioned the need of two branches of the drain running parallel to each other, as did Mr. Andrade. "Why do I need two drains through the bush?" Mr. Andrade asked. Mr. Armstrong suggested one drain could be eliminated entirely. When the engineer said he had included the second branch to give the Andrade property better facilities to get rid of the water, Mr. Armstrong replied, "Yes, but how many thousands of dollars is he ready to pay to get rid of it?" Mr. Andrade agreed, saying that instead of being assessed for 75 acres the figure should be more like 10 acres. "It would be more than difficult (to drain that land) it would be just about im- possible," he said. Another owner of property in the "bush" area, Carl D'Arcey said he thought agricultural landowners were "getting off easy" compared to "us guys with swampland". A representative of the Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority also questioned the extensive drainage of "flat" swamp- land. Other property owners questioned the r size of the proposed drainage works. through 'agricultural land and whether or not lower portions of the drain which are in fact a natural watercourse, will take the added volume of water without some erosion of existing banks. "We can see there are quite a few things to be considered Jiere, so we've decided to refer the report back to the engineer," the reeve observed. MRS.
