the georgetown herald georgetown ontario wednesday april 6th 1949 what council did on monday apr 4li the preeit contract held by lane s hituhigc mr bralsliy slid ho had passed a tlaw fvquilotf t 0 tq

this is icceivcd it will mean an expenditure of 40 000 for tho town explained that tlio partnerihlp did not involve jirbue eolleetloh juow- eer he would like to put in a bid of 1500 with u guirailtec of as good meruit aj at pre cut he had won m erwee iu ai pre em no nuu won- the province paying he rem ining j w t 50 per cent capitalizing thu at tender each year current interejt ratca would make f a yearly expenditure of about j000 oier the term of the deben ture county engineer rov lt tended the meeting anccrevlewcd a detailed report of a survey ho had made of what is necessary to put the town road3 in shape the waterworks engineer mr roberts of bontford was present and sard thit to date no ucccs has been met in drilling for additional water supplies under ills orders three holo had been drilled one back of the municipal building one on john street wost of the pumping station and one near the armouries in the park further ex ploration is to be made near silvcr- crcok a fourth bole had been drilled in the park which he did not know much about and this led to a lively ciljcusslon inaugurated by depuj reeve goodlet goodlet who lets the drilling contracts roberts we do as engineers goodlet would the drillers take orders from anyone elc roberts from the mayor or the council goodlet i would like to know who gave orders for drilling tho extra hole in the park gibbons there was considerable discussion from cr lyons that he knew there was water in a certain place i for one was not opposed to drilling in this location mr lyons u an cloctod representative and his opinions should b respected i cant sec anything wrong with what was done goodlet we hired an engineer to choose the drilling locations 29 has been thrown away because a council member thinks there might be water some place else gibbons if you thought there was watcr in a certain location and they drilled there and failed how would you fcep goodlet i wouldn t be recom mending any drilling i m not an engineer lyons it s not much compared with the 80 000 you spent last year it was just as good a bargain as the 80000 goodlet it s not being done in a business like manner units i it is okayed by mr roberts mcnally council dldn t pass the 1500 expenditure for drilling goodlet i don t think it s good business gibbons the 1500 was inssed in the borrowing by law mcnally mr goodlet favoured ordcrini meu rs wthout consulting mr roberto goodlcl- mctcis hid been rccom mended davidson i m inclined to tick with mr goodlet one councillor has taken it on himself to drill a 300 hole without consulting coun cil or at least the water committee lyons it wasn t taken on by one man the mayor and i discussed it ond others too mccumbcr the hole has been g and w can t do anything about i think from now on mr rob erts should be consulted goodlet i claim the taxpayers are out 300 to suit one mans fancy gibbons i have every confidence in mr lyons integrity mcnally a number of taxpayer in my word thought as mr lyons did gibbons it is one more lesson i suppose btit if there had been an hbundance of water tliere every thing would have been fine granteduse of the park on may 24th to the necreatlonal

u new to me mr urauby offer c to do it foi 2050 some time ago goodlet i believe mr bratsby is here because lane and mcnally have formed a company and no member of the firm con have a eontract with tile municipality gibbons i am not familiar with mr mcnally s business armstrong- mr lane told mc that the comj my is in the constiuc- lion and contnctini bujincs en- utclj mcnally that j rluht mr l

line held the contract gibbons since the inception of the system in 1043 mcnally hive thcie been my complaints gibbons not to my knowledge mccumbcr it isn t a case of complaints if we can get it done for 2500 we should call for ten ders dividson i m 100 per cent satlj fled and can see no rcil reason for changing but i am moving this mutioii because if we can tct the s ime job done for 500 it s it
