The sewer originally drained into Laurel Creek, but the locaâ€" tion was changed. Since then the water drained along the old creekâ€" bed into the new location on Lauâ€" rel Creek. Recently the university began building a parking lot, enclosing the old creekbed and damming the water on city property. The city asked the university to share in the cost of extending the sewer, which also services part of the university property, but the uniâ€" versity refused. _ In other business, the commitâ€" tee agreed to pay $12,000 to $14.000 for construction of a storm sewer. The storm sewer extension will be needed to cross a University of Waterloo parking lot on the south side of University Avenue. But Mayor Paleczny said Monâ€" day night the original alignment of Ottawa street as a service road running parallel to the exâ€" pressway was a mistake. ‘"You mean you didn‘t want to be confused with the facts," Mayor Paleczny said, laughing. And Ald. Joseph Doerner said the expressway is, in effect, takâ€" ing away the existing Ottawa Street, therefore the expressway partners have an obligation to replace it. _ _ Ald. Vincent Alviano, who did not vote on the motion, told his fellowâ€"aildermen they ‘had been "brainwashed." ‘"‘That‘s the reason I didn‘t go to any of those meetings," he said. He was referring to a joint Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo meeting to discuss the Ottawa Street probâ€" lem. WATERLOO, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1967 The Veterans of the Kitchenerâ€" Waterloo area have again shown that spirit which has won for them in the hearts of nations a reputation second to none. The Canadian soldier has been reâ€" spected for his courage, his deâ€" termination, his devotion to duty, and his pride in his country. Committee members decided the city has no alternative but to drain the water away. The university was aiso given permission to cross University Avenue to extend underground wiring for parking lot lights. The university will assume all costs. The committee agreed to purâ€" chase about 50 acres for $221,500 from Ailpine Investments Ltd. for the Kâ€"W Expressway in the area of Homer Watson Boulevard. The purchase includes a modernized farm house valued between $25,â€" 000 and $30,000. A request from Ralph Forbes, coâ€"owner of Forbes Motors Ltd., to drain water from a car wash at Weber and Roger streets into a storm drain was referred to city solicitor. Yet there is still another charâ€" acteristic which is remembered THEY SHOW THEIR SPIRIT Mr. Forbes said if the arrangeâ€" ment fails he would correct the situation later. Kâ€"W Vets Continue to Serve The committee agreed on conâ€" THE CANADIAN Progress Club held its charter night at the Breslau Hotel last week. National President Arthur Rose of Toronto is shown installing the officers of the club. The president of the Kâ€"W club is Peter Tomko. The Kâ€"W club is the 28th Progress Club to be chartered since the first club was charterâ€" ed in Toronto in 1950. The club is dedicated to service in the communtiy. Now those soldiers are the Veterans of the eight Kâ€"W Vetâ€" eran‘s Association and they are continuing their good work atl by the citizens of those countries in which he has served. The Canâ€" adian soldier was known for the interest he showed in the welâ€" fare of the orphan, the poor, the widow, and the aged. He has made a name for Canada. dition that a binding agreement be drafted. Kâ€"W Home and Realty Sales Ltd. was granted permission to erect open house signs, provided a $25 deposit is made to guarantee the signs will be removed within 48 hours after the "event. ~ John Hendel, 134 Marshall St., asked permission to build a garâ€" age on cityâ€"owned property and up to a retaining wall along Lauâ€" rel Creek. He was told he could build the garage if he buys the triangular strip of land for 25¢ a square foot or $388. Traffic and transportation comâ€" mittee agreed to allow store emâ€" ployees at Waterloo Square to use the Caroline Street city parking lot during evenings. The request was made because shoppers find it difficult to find parking space on the square during evening shopping hours. . §UBSCRIPTION $3.00 YEAR Request for $200 Fence Is Refused The City of Waterloo has decidâ€" ed it won‘t pay $200 for «the erécâ€" tion of a fence by Walluce Edâ€" wards, 288 Langford Plage. â€" Mr. Edwards made the request after his neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Henderson, 290 Langford Place, were promised a $200 chainâ€"link fence to keep school children of their property. The Hendersons said children had to walk on their gravel driveâ€" way during winter because snow in the walkway wasn‘t shovelled. Mr. Edwards asked that he either be given an amount equal to the cost of the Henderson fence, or that the walkway be closed. He said the walkway, used by only six Langford Place children, would be better closed. home. Far too few know of the assistance these Veteran‘s Service Clubs give to the training of our youth, the care of the disabled, and to the progress of our comâ€" munity. The committee decided it can‘t pay $200 for a fence on private property. Ald. Joseph Doerner pointed out that subsequent ownâ€" ers of the Wallace property could decide to remove the fence, and council couldn‘t stop them. One group very much in need of help toâ€"day is the mentally ill, and these Veterans are deterâ€" mined to see that this need is (Continued on page 2) Mayor Paleczny, who was in favor of closing the walkway, suggested the land be sold to the Hendersons for $1,100, the real estate value of 10 feet of frontâ€" age, but the Hendersons said the price is too high. D‘Arcy Dutton. city engineer, said the chain link fence, which he had estimated would cost $200 may cost $250, according to a price from a fencing contractor. In other business, the city deâ€" velopment committee rejected & request to close Young Street West at Albert Street and sell the land. The committee felt the land may be needed for other uses in the future. It approved remoaval nf a oneâ€" (Continued on 3)
