Arrange- ments for the mecting were made by Commissioner Mad- docks. The meeting threatened sev- eral times to get out of hand, sent were former Village Clerk A. T. Horswill, and J. E:; Kraft, who resigned his position as Chairman of the Council on Fri- day, R. W. Cook, former Com- missioner was also called on for statements, J, M. Macbeth, Auditor for the Village, presented a gencral outline of the 1957 Financial statement which he is drawing up. Mr. Macbeth pointed out this is incomplete, but most recon- ciliations have been made and showed the highlights of the financial picture. but indee the expert guidance of these flareups were kept to a minimum. Acting Council Chairman R. C. Maddocks opened the mect- ing and promised that ‘any question falrly put would be fairly answered’ by himself, or the remaining Council members. Taking seats at the confer- Total for the year had been $67,000, received through taxes, Trades and buil- ding licences, Parks rentals and other, but did not include school tax collected or Motor Vehicle Licence fees going through the office, Total with these latter added was roughly $125,000. Expenditures had amounted Many Points Aired At to about $45,000, he snid, about $2,000 under the amount, duc to some projects budgeted for not having been completed. Bank balances for the year ended Dee. 31, 1957 would show a surplus of about $48,000, he advised after all accounts paid, ete, There is an amount of $32,- 543.97 left in the Water By-law, No. 113, from the original figure of $120,000. There is also around $15,000 of pipe and fittings on hand, to give a total of about $47,000 to complete the water system said Mr, Macbeth. In answer {0 a query by Mr. Kraft on whether any office overhead should have been charged to the By-law, Mr. Mac- beth said some office overhead would be justified against it. A question from Dave Camp- bell on money budgeted for Parks, etc., showed-a sum of $2,500 set aside and only $775 spent. The remainder is still in the bank, he was advised. Questioned whether the mon- ey left was sufficient to com- plete the. Water By-law, Mr. Maddocks stated that this by- law, No, 113, ori Water system has been one of the main causes of disagreement amQng Com- missioners, as some felt it was not being handled..the proper way, and some felt it was, A survey had been’ authorized to be undertaken by. {Associated Engineers who were; appointed to complete the By-law at the termination of the... ‘agreement with Boyd Affleck, Engineer, Mr. Maddocks said 4s soon as figures are known, and the sur- vey is commencing’ this week, these will be publicized. They will show what can: be done with the money on and, what should be done to get"the system finished and what must be done in the event the funds ‘are in- sufficient and revisions must be made, he said. t A considerable amount of Civic Forum many ratepayers felt a survey had already been made, and the sum of $1800 voted for the pro- ject was being wasted on dupli- cate expenditure, Mr. Maddocks pointed out there had never been, to his knowledge, a survey of the needs of the Community ovr a long term, say 20 years. After a series of questions |‘Government require that a sur- on the matter, it appeared no such comprehensive Water con sumption and overall’ construc- tion survey had been carried out. Otto Walker Sr. one of Cc "s first C said the original By-law No. 34 had been put out in 1950 and had been done by consultations with CM &°S Co, and partly with Mr. Affleck. He felt the job had been done as well: as could be expected with the materials on hand, Questions followed on pro- posed installations of hydrants, which are reported to be omit- discussion arose at this point, as ted from plans, Mr. Cook stated all hydrants to be installed un- der By-law No. 113 except four are in, but there are also six to be installed on the old lines, These have not yet been put in as six inch hydrants are on hand and the pipe in the area concerned fs four inch, according to Fire Chief Ed Lewis. Herb Pitts asked did not the vey be carried out before such a bylaw as No, 113 could be ap- proved, to which Mr. eeting thought it should come from gencral revenue. tt this point Mr. Shkwar- ok was asked to clarify the dif- ference between the word survey used here and a detailed map or plan which was what most people seemed to think was be- ing discussed. Dave Campbell stated that when Associated Engineers had arrived for discussion of the system, they had only met with replied, no, the Government only required plans and specs. of the actual system, not the long term results or needs, according to the way he interpreted the act. Answering a question about the necessity of holding the sur- vey now when the Bylaw three quarters finished, Mr. Maddocks said he had been unaware the survey was lacking, and Associa- ted Engineers had asked for such survey. The question of paying the $1800 for the survey was answered to the effect he fit and Rysen—Why was not the Chairman (Mr. Kraft) called in? Mr. Maddocks replied he had been asked ta contact the En- gineers, end had asked them to discuss the propozed sewage survey with Mrs, Rysen, as sh> is Health Chairman, Mr. Pettitt was called in he said as he was close at hand and as an acquaint- tance of the Engineer.
