ADOPTION OF MINUTES Moved by Deputy-Reeve Hobbs, Seconded by Reeve Little, That the Council ~inutes February 15th, and February adopted. dated February 1st, February 10th, 29th; be and the same are hereby Carried DELEGATIONS Letter from G. Heath, dated I-larch, 1960. "I, Mr. G. Heath, 57 Duke Street, in connection with drainage every spring each year, those concerned are going to remedy the major cause real soon; Hy flain trouble at present is s'lall pipe installed since !H,\'I house vras built below me. Before these tanks were installed I could clear ditch myself, tnere is also a relief drain running to the other side of the street which has not worked since the ditch on that side of the street was levelled off ever hot water tanks. No water runs on that side with the snow as plentiful as it is at present this culvert is not going to take much water. I have no other rneans of getting rid of \-rater except by this ditch. I had a Town representative down a week or so ago, Mr. Geboers, when water was bad. Mr. ;Juinton, last year, told me it was on their books to enlarge same Qulvert right away. I would kindly sho or explain same if de- sired. I might add that most of th" water comes from the School Yard. Would like to thank you for any quick relief of same." Letter from Gordon Wilcox, dated March 7/60. "I live at 53 Duke Street, which is the south side of Ontario Street School. Every spring when the ice and snow Welts the water flows off of the school yard onto my property. It flows along the side of the house into the back yard, seeps into the cellar and into the drain, making the cellar very hard to store things in. The found- ation is made of stone, and mortar, and with the water seeping through it the mortar has loosened and fallen out. This happens every Spring. I have had to repair the foundations a number of times. To try and get rid of as much water as possible, I drain it onto my neighbours property, who in turn drains it into the ditch along the road. The culvert under the driveway of the next house is not large enough to carryall the water that is in the ditch and ,that comes off the school yard through my property. I am explaining the situation to you nOlt so that you could have the Works Department install a larger suI vert before the Spring thaw. . . . - . J,f' . .. 2 .. I understand you lnv(" a stearwr so the eul vert could be tha\\fed and dug out and a larger on(, installed. The existin<:; culvert is only 10" in diameter which is far from adequate to aliow so nuch water to roo,SS through."
