PERTH FEDERATION REPORTS By ED DEARING The laws which control drain- age in Ontario are found in no less than five different Acts. This means that the present leg- islation suffers by the division of authority and administra- tions. An example of this might be the Department of Agricul- ture recommends drainage, the municipal council carries for- ward the local interests, public works and treasury finance .the drainage, and the Ontario Muni- cipal Board is the final referee in cases of dispute. to drainage benefits and dam- ages. (5) That, where three-quarters of the owners agree to aban- donment of a drainage works, owners adversely affected by the abandonment and not in agreement with the abandon- ment, should be compensated for their loss. (6) That a system of inspec- tors be established subject to provincial direction and that permanent drainage inspectors be established; similar to part- time assessors, whose responsi- bility it would be to direct maintenance of existing ditches for purposes of minimizing more costly maintenance or complete replacement of the works. (7) That Government grant's be made available for main- tenance in line with those pro- vided for the original works; and that an additional charge be made on the original works to be set aside in a fund in the municipality for mainten- ance purposes. It might be possible that the matter of maintenance' and in- spection of all drains within a municipality could be placed on the general tax rate,..and that a provincial grant could be paid equal to the amount raised by the municipality. (8) That the engineer's report or award be registered in the registry office, and that a nota- tion be made' in the abstract ihdex of the registry office so that each landowner or tenant, when he acquires property, may be made aware of the drainage responsibilities attached to the title. -,(9) That provision be made in thenew drainage legislation that storage ponds may be in- corporated as part of the drain- age program, with water hold- back features, and that they may be subject to the same Government assistance as all other purposes. (10) That loans made under drainage assistance programs should be paid only on assign- ment or on the presentation of receipted bills because a number of cases have been re- ported where monies made available for drainage were ,us - cd for other purposes. People engaged in agriculture will welcome a consolidation and clarification of the Drain- age Acts. There are problems of drainage which were not with us when the present Acts were written. There are many artificial changes in topography which affect the natural flow and dispersal of water. These include the establishment of urban settlements, construction of highways, and pipeline con- struction. A, notable example of this is The surface run.off from a highway clover leaf which did not exist before its construction. The interests of landowners adjacent to the establishment of sub -divisions or industrial sites are often neglected. Quite often these developments de- ; stroy or remove the existing water outlets. The major function of drain- age is to remove surface wa- ter. It does, however, render important additional services. It ventilates the soil, increases soil temperatures, stimulates soil bacterial action, gives crops access to a larger supply of both plant food and soil mois- ture, lengthens the effective growing season, increases the rate of plant growth, and facili- tates timely farm operations. Drainage legislation should preserve for us certain areas which should not be drained. There must be consideration for tree growth which has grown in an environment of wet swamp or bush land. These and other areas also provide cover for our birds and other wildlife which we want to con- serve. The Provincial Government has announced its intention of consolidating the five Acts re- lated to drainage. The Conser- vation Council of Ontario, which is made up of many member bodies including the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, has made a submission to the On- tario Legislature setting out what it believes are desirable pieces of legislation to be in- corporated in the new Act. They are as follows: (1) That in establishing a drainage work the legislation should provide for a hearing between the affected landown- ers and the engineer prior to the engineer's submission of his final report to . the council of the municipality. This would give the landowner an oppor- tunity to discuss the proposed works and suggest any changes which might be advantageous to his particular property.. It would also give the engineer an opportunity to oytline his problems in arriving' 'at the va- rious decisions that must be made in preparation of the re- port. (2) That a copy of the en- gineer's report be sent by the Clerk to the owner or owners at the same time as the report is received by the municipal- ity. (3) That the procedure for appeals be simplified and made uniform for all bodies inter- ested in the drainage works. (4) That criteria be develop- ed by the appeal body to make uniform decisions with respect • FREE HOME HEATING SERVICE Now a furnace emergency costs you no more than a phone caul Regular equipment check ups-- aofhing at all!
