necessary are an n litral part of supplying proper drai ntge mr munro countered all such pro pe sals with statements that he has no contract with the town to do anything in the subdivision and his only obli ration is to the swanek firm he clai med that completion of the roads has been held up by the town engineers insistence that storm sewering esti mated to eost some 4 000 is needed one point

recent lv mrs e kara and mrs chas jamea ally shelved by council for the night after suggestions that a the town put them in by swanek and munro get together and jointly instal them c residents pay for them as a local improvement or d various combina tions of these be tried engineer douglas wilson said he would prefer to wait for a heavy rainfall after the roads are gravlled and graded before passing judgment on their acceptibihty by the town he is certain he said that a portion of the roads will wash out 1 11 put in the roads if they wash out it isn t my responsibility was mr munro s rejoinder to this mr munro drew mayor armstrong s ire at one stage when he read a let ter written to him by the mayor in may 1953 pointing out the need for more housing and cduneils interest in seeing the subdivision started the mayor said the same situation hardly existed two years later when huildinf finally started and there had been many changed factors m that time other subdivisions had a reidy been proceeded with agree mvnt to provide wottr and sanitary sewers granted to the original prop- ty owner the late tom hewson had been withdrawn and his letter was completely outdated by then be said mr swanek s lawyer explained that his client is suffering the most be cause nha money coming to him is being held up pending solution of the road problem he said he thinks council is using pressure of this with held money to force either swanek or munro to instal a storm sewer and it is a question who can hold out the longest we think drainage falls in line with roads said mayor armstrong and it is impossible to put in good roads without good drainage a sub- divider has a responsibility to people buying his houses to assure them that getting into their property is not a problem we in council want to do the most we can for the majority of ratepayers and roads should be put in so as not to cause future trouble and expense mr munro claimed that he had paid 33 000 for sewers and water mains which had been no part of his original plan as these were to be put in as local improvements he said subcontractor mansell nelhs had been unable to finish roads because swanek had left them in a mess af ter preliminary work was done the conference ended on an amic able note when mr munro reiterated his decision to have nelhs finish the roads within the next few weeks social
