Recently elected officers headed by president elect Leo Teatero were installed at a meeting of ' Seaforth Lions Club Monday evening. The installatiOn , arranged by Orville Oke, included the following: Immediate P. Pr es. - Bob Beuttenmiller; President - Leo Teatero; 1st Vice Pre.-Dr. Water rates are doubled After July 1, water rates will double and Seaforth residents will pay $60 rather than the $30 they were paying previously. As in 1969, a request to triple the water rate has resulted in its doubling. Council approved doubling the water rate, at the last regular council meeting. At that time they send back a request for approval to issue a debenture for $250,000 to the Public Utilities Commission for firm costs. The debenture is to help Update the water system, install meters in all commercial establishments and connect the new Brantford well into the system. Last year engineering fees cost the P.U.C. $6,000 which 'was "fairly steep" P.U.C. manager Walter Scott said. Now they have hired the same "firm, James F. M acLaren Ltd, to confirm the PUC's figures. peter Sawyer, representing the firm, had already said the figures were on the low side, he said. If the water rate had been tripled the rate a few years ago when the PUC suggested it, then the PUC wouldn't need to issue a debenture and could 'have proceeded on improving the stystem in stages, Mr. Scott said. The dilemma seems to be as Mr. Scott said: "How do you pa) back $250,000? when council has only doubled the rate. "I don't want rates to go up either," he said. Before the Ontario Municipal Board approves a debenture, an engineering firm must confirm the figures , Mr.Scott said. With the doubling, Mr. Scott said the town will soon be in the "same ball park". "We won't have capital as we need it," he said. There are a lot of costs that go along with installing sewers and town residents will be pdying for one way or the other, he said. W.J.Thompson; '2nd.
