The meeting opened at 2: p.m. in the Board Room of the County office. Those present were Messrs. Bryce Stringam, A. T. Johnson, Arthur Larson, Harvey Hendrickson, George Penner, Tru£teeS: and Carl J. Anderson. Council members: Messrs. N. A. Shuttleworth, K. Waraksa, Jeppe Mortensen, P. McAleese, H. Ockey, Wm. Lokier, Ben Plumer; and H. Scammell. The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing problems of mutual interest, Mr. Stringam was appointed Chairman of the meeting. The Council was asked the reason for the increased levy in 1954 for municipal purposes on grazing land. They answered that in order to get enough money to operate they had to manipulate the levy in such a way as to get their required amount of money and that they assumed that the grazing lands were not taxed high enough previously for the benefits received therefrom. The council expressed the opinion that there would be no increased taxation for 1955. The Board of the Irrigation District agreed to reserve gravel deposits on land presently owned by the District anywhere in the project, for mutual use of County and District. The Council was informed that amendments would have to be made to the Rural Telephone Act before the District's telephone poles could be placed in better places for road building purposes. In a discussion regarding payment for work performed by the District crews, the councillors suggested watermasters have the bills submitted to the councillor in question immediately after the work was completed. There was considerable discussion on drainage and the responsibilities of the District and the County. Mr. Plumer spoke of the desire of building a new road west from Duchess on the south side of the Railway track. As this construction would be very ex- pensive and would necessitate the erection of a larger bridge across the main canal and the construction of two small bridges with no apparent improvement to the water distribution, the matter was left for future consideration. Mr. Plumer was to endeavor to ascertain from the District Engineer as to what assistance could be procured from the Government for construction of this road. The drainage situation in the Cassils area was discussed.. The Councillor in charge of that area thought the 1.I.D. estimate for drainage was too high. One of the council members recommended to the Board that only select settlers with good farming experience be given preference on land in the South Bantry project. -2 - Mr. Shuttleworth asked if our ditchriders could assist the Service 3oard's Weed Inspectors by reporting weed growth on any of the ditches in their area and the farmers co-operation in the elimination of same. It was suggested that for mutual understanding as to responsibility of drains that the old drainage map originally agreed on between the C.P.R. and Government be considered and revised if necessary. Mr. Stringam spoke of a possibility of the amalgamation of the County and the E.I.D. He stated that as the tax -payer of the District, was also the water user, that possibly some economy could be effected and better understanding of mutual problems could be arrived at, were the two organizations amalgamated. A motion was made, seconded and carried, that Messrs. Stringam and Plumer be a committee to investigate the possibility of amalgamation. This committee was given power to add other members if so found necessary. The meeting adjourned at 5:30 p.m.
