bitten the dust once.After a Quebec Municipal Affairs study was released recently, Elgin Council was first to back out, voting at its July 4 meeting to shelve the merger proposal that the three councils had bandied about for the past year.Although it was Dundee mayor Paul-Maurice Patenaude who had started the ball rolling with the other twomunicipalities following a ministry workshopon municipal fusion, Dundee council rejected the plan at its July 12 meeting, in Patenaude\u2019s absence.Presented with Elgin and Dundee\u2019s resolutions at its August | meeting, rejecting the plan, Godmanchester was left without any practical alternative and made the rejection unanimous.The findings of the extensive study done by the Municipal Affairs Ministry hadbeendiscussedataJune 21 meeting

anearlierdecision toassume maintenance costs of the pumping station at St-Anicet from the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture.Last May, following a request from Quebec, the MRC decided to take on responsibility for maintenance and for necessary repairs at the pumping station, which prevents flooding of farmland adjacent to the Laguerre River.The cost of the repairs was to have been billed to the farmers concerned.But, during the summer, research by the MRC\u2019s lawyer turned up a document dating from 1967, in which the Quebec Agriculture Ministry assumes all costs of \u201cconstructing., iis Hunting for maintaining and operating\u201d the pumping station.As aresult, the MRC has decided to reverse its earlier decision and leave responsibility for the station in the hands of Quebec.This should mean that the farmers served by the facility will not be assessed the $25,000 to $55,000 annual operating costs, an MRC spokesperson said.Better late.The MRC council of
