By -Law Read karst Time.
(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

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.
