Some wanted service taps; some ‘had rock where their water pipes came in and some had sand, and many did not want to pay the"rates that were perâ€" force being charged. A local owner of a bottling works plant demanded a meter or Tlmmms water rate. The Reeve explained that were there as many consumers here as in Timmins we could have Timmins rates but not at present. He was given permission to get a meter if he wished. A man close to the Lake on Golden avenue wanted sewer connection but it was thought there was not grade enough thew to make it satlsfactory. The Engineer was instructed to agdin look over the ground and see if any method could be devised to give this man a sewer. Costa Fadeorac, who has built a fine new home and a large dairy barn on Smith St., Conngught Hill, wanted water but this applicaâ€" tion was too late coming in to be granted this year in view of the long extension I'equn'ed As it "will cost too much to put in the full line on" Strachan avenue for the few houses! to be served, a service tap for the | time being is to be installed as these dpphcatmns had been in early. Nick Bodlavik had applied a year ago for water for his property but owing to the distance from other houses wantâ€" ing same this had not yet been grantâ€" ed.

Some wanted more water but had not apâ€" plied in time. Some wanted to get rid of the water with which they were Water Problems Considered _ at Tisdale Council Meeti _The Aroma Captivates HON.

Another Schumacher resident had a complaint in regard to the charges where trenching had been usâ€" ed for two who had made application together and another single applica« tion. This case caused cnnslderahlc discussion with some rather heated words used during the progress of the discussion. It is said that there were many who were not present at the council meceting who do not underâ€" stand the basis of charge, and it will likely be necessary for the council to makeâ€" further explanation â€" before there is general satisfaction. Those who have carefully gone :into the question are agreed that the Council made the best arrangement that they could and have ubed all fairly, and that all will be satisfied of this when the matter is carefully considered. Mr: Geo, Helmer asked for Powell street to be opened so that he might gsive registered deeds for the lots on his townsite. This matter 1s to be taken up with the;School Board as it is this part of the High School grounds that stands in the way. (On behalf of the School Board Mr. Max Smith asked for the Council‘s help in getting possession of certain property that was needed to give them their acreage required to obtain the full government grant. As the owner of said lots is holding same at what is considered an exorbitant figure, an expropriation was suggested, whereby a natural opening in the rock where it had shelved away leaving a space about 18 inches square through which the contractors had run their pipe not having to do rock work at all. Councillors Barron and EFarris upheld him in this. Another man on Railâ€" road street complained that his pipes froze last year, but this has been reâ€" medied. He thought he should not be charged for rock as there was only macher, owing to the formation of the ‘ground â€" there. lowest tender had been accepted on the basis of so much per foot for sand ; any rock up to 50% rock was figured at the 50% rock basis; anything over 50% rock was figured at the 100% rock basis. Some ratio had to be struck to get the work done at all. This was deemâ€" ed Athe most satisfactory. However the man‘with only 2% rock does not now think he should pay the same rate as the man with 48%. Another owner of several properties in Schuâ€" macher claims he should have been charged on a sand basis as the conâ€" tractors had no rock work at all in getting to his property. Nature had been kind (more kind than the townâ€" ship, he thought) and there ‘had been ANEWs BET TER FURNACE a Sensational Price. OR SE PP PE «mAAAMA Z4 fuelâ€"soft coal, coke.. oil or gas.
