i agree with the reeve said councluordiinkwaltsr but they could put an exhorbitant price on it and then wed have to exprop riate ttufs why i prefer the second proposal we have land that could prove of noose to the town and we could deal it for land we need r i can see land for land re marked the reeve that s in the best interests of the town i agree land for land looks good rve only one objection stated mr tyler if we retain the old dump site we can use it for a buffer zone for property owners or industry we dont want apartments or houses right on the dump doorstep complain ing about the smell you can do this by zoning retorted the reeve councillor drlnkwalter felt there were too many unknowns in the first proposal because we dont know the potential of the well the town would regain sale possession as soon as the water becomes drinkable said the may or the purpose of this meet ing is to move ahead on this well submit our proposal and the company will submit counter proposals the company repre sentative asked us to bring the south spring into the negotiation they only want a little as surance the spring is available to them said mr tyler they will pay for the use of it the reeve persisted ourcon- tract with them still has two years to go we can make up our minds on- renewal lets leave it and get on with a land deal the company has asked us to consider this in oar request for land the mayor reminded the reeve u lets advise them the south spring is not a negotiable item persisted the reeve youre missing the point said the may or the south spring is in the proposal lets reject it then the reeve answered further discussion devel oped on land value with council lor masales asking the reeve if the spring is ever going to be of use for anything but industrial and the reeve reiterating his stand that the spring is a town asset the line is there and the com pany is willing to pay for water said mr tyler he suggested submitting both proposals to the company and ask them what they are willing to negotiate on the reeve felt council shouldnt fool around with ourlnheritance like this he claimed council had no right to bargain with the water on a five year lease the town has made a nice little bit of money said mr masales mr hinton disputed this say ing it was only true when all hidden costs forequlpmentplpes etc were not considered in my estimation every other indus try in town is subsidizing beard mores we havent sold below cost were making a profit contend ed mr tyler lets talk trading land not the spring the reeve continued the second proposal of a trade of three acres for seven acres for a new dump site con sidered a bit lopsided horse trading was explained by mr drlnkwalter who said the three acres is of the same value as the seven acres of semiswamp land the deal wouldnt involve any stalling be said although he preferred a straight cash deal let s negotiate on a friendly basis he asked not exprop riate the reeve said he was not ad vocating expropriation beard mores can be negotiated with easily and readily ive been saying that all even ing said the mayor were thinking of trading land given to us in the first place were willing to pay for it stated the reeve when the motion came to the floor two amendments to them were defeated the first amend ment to the amendment was de feated when the mayor cast his vote with the nays which made a tie the reeve deputy reeve oakes councillors masales and drlnk walter voted for it councillors perry williams tyler and the mayor against the amendment asking the fir st proposal be omitted was also defeated with mr hinton and drlnkwalter in favor a motion passed with counc illors drlnkwalter and masales and the reeve opposed agreeing to submit both proposals to beardmores for their consid eration all councillors were present except gw mckenzle who was away censors for a sunday school paper further argument was avoided when a motion passed to sail all water to beardmore and

rate had been set for the south spring since it was suitable only for in dustrial use the mayor summing up said the company was concerned and may not let the contractor start dredging unless we can assure them the town can supply water if required mr hinton maintaining he was not dependent on beardmores for anything said as far as he was concerned they were just in town like any other industry
