(Issue of Thursday, Aug. 16-07) The special Nater -works by-law was presented authorizing an • ex- nenditure of $53.000 for a complete system to cover the town, and to be paid for in 30 annual payments. The Mayor asked if it would'not be better to delay taking the vote, 'out Reeve Cantelan in reply said he thought a delay would be danger- ous as we have already had several Toi eil.de ies,u„y d' -no time-serO•atd be lost in establishing a system. Councilor Smyth suggested tak- ing the vote in January instead of Sept. as included in the ' motion,. Councilor (ribbings said he was in favor of giving the by-law its first reading and give the parties inter- ested a chance to show they were prepared to assist in final passing. Councilor Cooper pointed out that half the cost of the system could be paid with $1,500 or $2,000 which would b,» saved on merchan- tile Insurance risks alone. The key rate of Insurance in Clinton was 1 -3rd higher than in adjoining towns having Waterworks. A system of Waterworks would be a great help in securing- indus- tries-- and an additional population. Type by-law was then read the first time and will likely be given the second reading at the Sept. -0- Tirird Reading of By-law.
