He said drainage will always be a problem in the community because the land is low and flat. After the meeting, Mrs. Pearce said she will continue to press council for more money to be spent correcting some of the problems. She said that if the Township can apply to the Provincial govern- ment for a budget supplemental for road repairs in Port Perry this summer, the same could be done for Caes- area.
