Morclnluk told the board that a recent report from a local Health inspector cated that there is a very high fecal bacteria count in of II samples taken from affected Prior to that time samples from area wells had shown only bacteria in the water he said Mr Powell said fecal indicates a greater po tential health hazard Coliform bacteria is normally found on the ground and thus get into v ells through surface seepage It Is seldom that either fecal or bacteria get into wells from underground sour ces he said This is why dug wells such affected by construction in Glen Wil hams become polluted more easily than drilled wells Regional chairman row said that he understood the matter of dry wells and pollution in the water arose mainly because of the recent construction on Mullen Place He suggested that a lion from Hills council stating that it supports extend Ing water service to Glen Williams would be helpful to tht residents cause He requested the delegation to get the names of Glen Williams residents who favor idea of having lei pal water in the village Mr Marciniuk said 37 wells have been affected by situation Ho had not ap proached other people in village on the question of bringing municipal water into he and Indi that was not question he wanted the board to face The delegation was con only with getting water to those whose wells had been affected by the Mullen Place construction The question of who would eventually have to pay for it would probably end up In the courts he said Chairman Morrow said that the region would make no decision on piping water into the affected homes until its solicitor reported on the legal aspects of the case of a law suit between the residents and the developer Hills Roy Booth old the board he docs not want lo sec either the region or the local municipal ity involved in legal conflict because or a decision made now and requested that the matter be tabled until the solicitor made his report Mr Boom said he recognized that piped water should go into the village homes but until there la documented evidence thai this was desired by majority of residents the re gion can t proceed with the matter Halton Hills Coun Buss Mil the concern should not be with who will pay for the service It should be with seeing that the affected people get a water supply The problem of polluted wells in Glen Williams has existed for twenty years he said and he is against tabling the motion Hills Coun G W McKenzle noted there has been a parallel situation In for some years and inquired how they had been given municipal water Was it because of the situs lion or because board of heal recommended that they be given If he asked Surely to God the lion doesn boll down to who will pay for It commented Coun Ron Mr Marciniuk pointed out that he is not asking the board to give them water All they wanted Is a recommendation to council that water be sup plied because of health hazard created by lbe tlon he said Mr Booth repeated his ob jection to the recommendation on the grounds that the poltu Hon is not a recent problem as the recommendation said and thus the recommendation could get the board or the region I a legal problem After the meeting Mr said that residerits are prepared to go lo court if they must Their solicitor has set Sept as a deadline for a solution to their problem If nothing is done by then the next step will probably be court action to determine who is responsible and who will pay for Installing municipal water in affected homes he said Board of health chairman George Gray declared a con or interest at the begin of the meeting and turned over his position to Walter Mulkcwlch Mr Gray is part owner of Mountclalr Develop ments thecompnny construct on Mullen Place Ihe meeting Mr Gray told The Herald he wished they never seen the property and never become Involved in the situation The property was bought through a solicitor he said and they were told by people in authority that they could use own water because it was right there They could use natural drainage through ditchi and septic tanks Then the in and demanded and Hi is council demanded storm sew By then back away because we had too much Invested he said But I wish had Town to tighten bylaw regulating dog kennels develop professional resourc Increase research ties and to promote a greater awareness of arthritis These objectives arc realistic and within the decade should re sult In the highest quality of care for every arthritic pat Millions of volunteers and health professionals are con Iributing their time energy and knowledge to alleviate the hardships caused by chro nic disease In Canada Hills took a step toward tightening up control of dogs and dog kennels Monday when finance committee asked staff to pre pare an amendment to the longing bylaw Under the present licencing bylaw council is not In a position to refuse a kennel licence to anyone who meets the qualifications for one or to set conditions on the operation of a kennel Under the zoning bylaw has the authority to control land use policy At the same lime council will also be able to establish criteria of operation of a ken criteria to govern noise smell buffering or other tors However council docs not have the power to revoke a licence clerk administrator Doug Pritchard told the com ml I tee The power to revoke must be spelled out in an act and in the case of dog kennels It is not he said All 835 municipalities In Ontario are in the same boat he added Council can pass bylaws re quiring dog owners to register their pets and or to escalate fees he said but under the licencing bylaw no limit can be placed on Ihe number of dogs cats horses or cattle and other animals Land use con trol Is Ihe only way he said Coun Roy Booth suggested that the amendment should make it necessary for anyone with more than three dogs to apply for a kennel licence but that it be granted only If the owners are members of a registered kennel club and raise Town planner Mario will prepare a draft of the amendment for presentation to the planning committee There are about 30 licensed kennels in Hills The issue of dog control and kennels came to a head when a group of Llmehouse residents objected to a kennel on a neighbor property because of We continued to be upset with Ihc noise David a resident told council last Tuesday He was referring to the kennels of Mr and Mrs Robert McLeod who raise purebred Siberian Huskies in an adjoining pro perty Mr Mulllns appeared before council ask it to place some conditions on the kennel through the Niagara Escarp ment Commission NEC der whose Jurisdiction the area In Limchousc is and who have asked Hills if it has any objections A complicating matter In the issue however Is that the NEC has no jurisdiction over the construction and operation of kennels in Its control area As well the town has already issued a building permit to the and currently has no ground to hold up or revoke the kennel licence Mr McLeod lawyer Ted Webster lold council that al though Mr Mulllns concern is valid the NEC have already given approval The NEC also has a 14 day appeal period following its decision He urged council to forward to the NEC Its letter which would state that the town had not objection legally Ihc kennel About The Hills ORGANIZED LIVING Elsie of Gibbons Place Georgetown being

council ap proves recommendation it will be forwarded to Ontario treasurer McKecugh who has asked all municipalities in the province to comment on proposed changes In the Municipal Elections Act Peter told committee that he agreed with all the proposed changes but for the one which would remove the candidate s from the ballot The ministry of treasury economics and In tergovcrnmento affairs has not

ministry con ten lion that the removal of occupation from Ihe ballot would make It consistent with provincial ballots that is a poor reason Coun sold Municipal elections are closer to the people It important that we give all the voters all the In formation we can he said The recommendation that the occupations be dropped came from the Association of Munlclpalitiei of Ontario which wanted it so that full time politicians such as mayors or aldermen would not have an added advantage by hint of experience over a challenger In the race he agreed with this point Nevertheless removing the occupation sounds like are trying to hide something he said Coun said that in the case for instance of a real estate agent elected to council who might gain an advantage by foreknowledge of town dealings he Is bound to declare conflict of interest as docs any councillor from time Roy Booth felt that by putting the occupation on the ballot it tends lo become discriminatory If the community fears a real estate or developer takeover they II bo aware of at the all candidates meeting Booth said said that if the job identification causes the candidate difficulty with the voters that the can
