completed during the Esquesing council wrestled with three different types of residents housing problems Monday night The first one explained by David Moffat of Islington concerned approval to leave a centuryold house up while he built a new one on the former Colter property on the halt of tot Con Mr Moffat said it Was too expensive to rent a trailer and store furniture while he built a new home and it did not make sense since the older home Was in excellent condition He asked council for permission to postpone demolition of the old home until the new one was habitable a request council granted pointing out the bylaw was aimed at developers who wanted to put two houses on one lot Price too high The second problem council faced was a complaint by Jack McClure of Lot Con that a 10 000 price tag or a square feet addition was put on his building permit He contended the addition would not be worth anywhere near the amount and as a result he was also paying too much for a building permit Reeve Tom Hill explained the building permit valuation was based on the number of square feet of addition and he felt the charged was not exorbitant But Mr McClure pulled out a copy the bylaw and good humoredly challenged the reeve to show him where It said the charge for a permit was based on square feet The issue was never resolved to either council or Mr McClure satisfaction but the reeve said If he watted until next week the rate tor permits would be up and dissatisfaction could be greater Flooded The reeve advised Mr and Mrs John Goebel R 1 Georgetown to assess damages to their house during a spring flood and send it to the township insurance agent to investigate If they felt the excess water caused by drainage from the roads Mi Goebel told council there was as much as four feet of water In their front lot at one time and It had invaded the basement flooded the garage and damaged footings He council to rectify the situation so it does not happen again The reeve said plans had already been made to probe the cause on a soontobe road tour and see what can be done to alleviate the trouble I want to Mr Goebel declared neither did he want to collect damages I Just want

apply only to Dead and Diseased Elm frees located on fence lines and in open fields and will cease to apply to Elm trees located in farm or forested areas Grants program In commenting on these changes in the Capital Grants Program Mr Stewart elaborated on the program The inclusion of livestock fencing as a item in this program is cons stent with the government longrange assistance policy for the beef cowcalf Industry he said Earlier today I announced a program of government guaranteed bank loans to beef cowcalf operators to assist them in expanding their herds Fencing is a vital part of livestock farming and we felt it imperative that new permanent fencing be added to the list eligible Items In this program With respect to the limitations to the Dead and Diseased Elm Tree Program we have been impressed by the very logical arguments of professional foresters who are concerned with management and good forestry practices We still wish to see these unsightly objects removed from our farm fence lines and open fields where they are a hazard to livestock farm machinery and fences Therefore the program will continue with these limitations Capital Grant application forms are available
