Fleming, representing Dallon & Co., consulting engineers, specializing on .waterworks systems and sewerage disposal, addressed the Colborne Coufccil at the regular meeting held iMonflay evening, April 11th, 1927. Having walked over the hills to the North where water runs from numerous springs,, he was of the opinion that a proper survey would "' a sufficient amount of running water tc adequately supply the village for general use. He offered to investigate the sources and give a preliminary estimate of the cost of providing galleries and reservoir for conserving the supply and laying of mains throughout the village for a fee of $200 and some labor assistance. He said a waterworks system for Colborne would cost approximately $50,000 while a general system of sewerage disposal would cost an equal amount. Without the latter users would need to build their own septic disposal. For revenue he suggested an average rate of $4 per year per person or $16 per family. As, a survey could be best made during the dry months of the summer, the question will be considered and discussed in the meantime, to determine whether such a survey will be ordered or not.

The festival itself, is both commemorative of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and as a memorial to the atonement wrought by the death of the Master upon the cross. It is hailed with great acclaim in all the Christian churches of the world. In Greek and Latin and in the languages derived from them, Easter was known as "Padcha.V "Pasch," "Pascua," "Paques," etc., from the Chaldee word, "Pascha," the equivalent of the Hebrew "Pesach." The "Destroying Angel's" act is recalled by the last name in "passing o the households of the Hebrews when he smote the Egyptians^ as disclosed the chapter of Exodus. This year Easter will fall" on April 17th. The way by which Easter is determined is that of the first Sunday after the paschal full moon--the 14th day of the calendar moon, or the full which happens upon or next after March 21st; and if the full moon on a Sunday, then Easter is the first Sunday following. As usual, Colborne churches will >serve Easter "with elaborate programs. It is an event, that the children the grown-ups have learned to look forward to with much pleasurable tidpation; it is an event all should remember with some beautiful thought for the day.
