the georgetown herald georgetown ontario wednesday evening november 17th 1948 what council did on mondav november 15 will reimburse hurry shprull for hii expenditure f iipproxt- matcly 90 for putting the ewcr late ml into hii property on maple avenue imovoji by whltnioe and mt cumber mr shorlhll had uppcured ut fa previous rfiiqttiiz to complain that ttlnoc putting in the lateral at his own expense he ltfltl found that othcru in a lnulur fc itiojri had kad the work ooue at town expense nd he felt ho wiii also entitled to hf prior to trvi motion a lucus- n took plac inaugurated by uve maclaren 01 to whether the sewer cdntrnct with scott jnckson had specified a certain number of leads or whether it was clastic and provided that houes erected since the contract was let were en titled to mich sei vice at the present time c r hagey consulting en gineer said that the contract called lor putting in loadj to every house and he did not think that it should be limited only to houses which hnd actually been constructed when the first survey was made maclaren were leads put into additional houses without extra charge hagey no there la certain- 1 ly an extra charge herbert i would expect that we would pay more money for ex tra houses i wjiitmec a think it was a wise idea to put them in maclaren i m not questioning that but i m questioning why one man shouldn t get it 1 hagey was the contractor near mr shortills house when the ex cavation had been made shortlll yes nnd he said he couldn t go ahead without a permit from the engineer or the mayor goodlct mr shortills house is not yet built i thlnk mr mac laren is under the impression there is a house there short ill it has been done on other unbuilt property whltmce there la no point in questioning it it boils down to the fact that a house is being built and the lateral has been put in armstrong its a wise thing that the sewer has been put into mr shortills house one trench was used for sewer and water connections seme time in the future we would be obligated to put sewerage 1 1 and it is good business to make one trench do hagey i would suggest that future councils budget to put in such services gibbons is it customary to do this as houses are built or put in a number all at one time hagey as houses arc built normally it is done by town em ployees gibbons does the passing of this motion mean that any proper ty owner can now go ahead and put in his own system nnd then bill the town whitmee no i think in fu ture we will have to budget for it armstrong people will have to apply for it the same as for water service weather conditions will not permit installations much longer this year so we wont have any more applications before a new council takes office will have a scaring with the municipal board at 3 pm this at tcrnoon in connection with the ap plication for an 80000 debenture tsguc for watrr system improve ments granted permission to the can t adlan national railways nnd pro iylncial

scott jackson until le gal advice is received from the town solicitor as to whether the provisions of the sewerage con tract have been carried out mayor gbbons brought up the matter and said he was opposed to making any more payments until he contract waa complete and that in his opinion the contract had not been fulfilled particularly quitting the roads in condition as tear a posslbl to their former state maclaren mr hagey said this work we are hlhed for had been certified by him and the account should b paid whitmee we have n ten per eent holdback isnt this sufficient armstrong we are in order to hold it back but i would like to be satisfied that it is legal for us to do to u- a utti fud the contract is h carried out we have right to hold pay ment goodlet mi huguy li oui ltp iesentnive and he ha ccr titled jf correct gibbons v- we huvj lefeitcd the cpntiact to mi hagey t one tlmo and another ad he doein t tctm to know whnt3 in it goodlet i think th compact tayythe ioad mpia he put batk in reasonable condition mnclatn t- if this h paid it means that wltn the 10 holdback we will hiivo paid lajouj en gnveering fees of 20000 vill ialx this to approximately j7i000 im in favour of holding payment until the final account is received from scott jack on ww arranged to meet on tuesday no ember kith with mr jackson and mi black uf the scott jack son fum and mi hagey to

plan had been submitted to engineer hagey who thought t was a good idea cr whitmee was agninst the plan and thought 1 would create a precedent to let one block of own ers hook into the system on a dif ft rent basis than the rest of the town cr goodlet also expressed doubts about tht plan and said the council could not vote intelligently on the matter until a complete plan wos presented cr davidson said that if thf plan wab econom ically sound it would mean these houses could b sewered eai her but that he wouldn t like to voto until more information was made available cr mccumber said council
