Private drains connecting to the sewer must be left open until inspected by the health unit inspec- tor. He puts a three-inch metal ball in at the upper end of the tile, and if it comes out at the lower end, o.k, "The inspector wanted us to charge $2.00 for a permit", the May- or said, "but I told him it would create animosity and the revenue would only amount to $150," Claims Contract Not Fulfiled Councillor Christie demanded if council is going to do anything about this sewerage contractor. We are going to have some serious eases, one manhole on the back alley on the east side has not even been started. The contractor had promised to send five men up from Stratford but they never showed up. He was not sup posed to start on the west side till the other side was properly closed in. He is under contract. If he has not the machinery, that is not the town's fault. Councillor Scott said it was an aw- ful mess. The Stanley Twp. Fed. of Agric.

Councillor Christie asked why the engineer did not order the contract- or to back fill before starting on the east side. Mayor MCMaster said there is no doubt the bad weather had delayed things. We should demand that the engineer come tip and elean things up. Councillor Christie said payment should be withheld until it is done right. When the engineer comes he should meet a committee of the whole council, Mayor McMaster said if he doesn't some, the town can go ahead and hire somebody to finish it up, Appointment of a recreation coin= miti;ee was discussed, Mayor McMast- er said Mr. Secord had praoticallY assured the recent •meeting that if we go ahead right now, the town would get a considerable grant on this year's expenditure, on the band, figure skating, swimming instructor, hockey, etc. Council must appoint a committee of seven, two to be from town coun- cil. This committee then names sub- committees for each line of recrea- tion. The committee can appoint an athletic director. Councillor Crich said he could not see shoving another mill and a quar- ter on the taxes. People are be- ginning to realize our taxes are get- ting higher and higher. Actually our art classes, figure skating and so on, are not asking for this. They are running their own show and doing all right. Our big lay out is fdr hock- ey. Hockey is the only sport that is costing us money, Councillor Scott: Hockey brings revenue to help pay for the arena. Mayor McMaster said the whole town will benefit. A man will be working full rime organizing these games. Councillor Sharpe: An organizer will not be a coach. A coach is what is needed for sports. .Councilllor Crich: Lack of interest was the matter with baseball. The town needs a paid'secretary to look after all those things. Reeve Scoins thought a recreation committee could handle it without a director. Councillor Sharpe: The skating club had enough interest to start up themselves and pay their own way. Mayor McMaster: Small towns lack leadership. For example, it is hard to keep nurses apt the hospital, there is so little for them to do in town. Councillor Sharpe and Councillor Crich said there are just a certam number of people in town who are interested and go out to things. They are going out to all they can now. There are too many organizations here now. A director could not bring out more people. Reeve Scorns believed that to run things properly the athletic associa- tion should derive some revenue from all sports. The strong would be helping the weaker ones, Councillor Christie said 500 peo- ple had bought tickets at the rink last year, this year only 200. Mayor McMaster said this commit- tee would help make this thing pay. If passedtonight town would get up to $1,000 on this year's expendi- tures. Several councillors thought the government is "soft" if it is handing out money that easy. Councillor Sharpe said there are a lot of ratepayers who won't get any benefit for the one and one-half mills. I•Ie was not opposed to a com- mittee, but could not see a recrea- tion director. Once you name a com- mittee, however, they could appoint a director. Councillor Scott said it would do no harm to appoint a committee. A motion was passed to leave" it for one month and find out what it cost Exeter. Councillors Christie and Close were appointed to investigate. Council were enthusiastic at the prospect of a centennial reunion in 19'55, when Mayor McMaster said the Lions Club had asked for coun- cil's approval. Councillor Christie asked how these were financed, if the merch- ants were asked to sign financial backing. He was told that at Wingham and Goderich the councils had guaran- teed'the expenses up to $2500. Council decided they could ' not bind the new council to any commit- ment and laid the matter over with an expression of approvals Christmas Decorations Councillor Crich asked if council wanted to have 'Christmas decora, tions on Main Street again this year. Trees and a few bulbs are required as they have the other equipment. Cost last year was $100, and he sug- gested that for this money plastic canes could be•added to the decora- tions. Mayor McMaster said he had seen many beautiful street decorations on a trip in the States last year, and mentioned strings of lights across Main street. Council decided to in- vest in five strings of lights for the street corners, which would be useful an future occasions. The cost of these strings would be about $20. each.
