However, at least one member said he would oppose town participation on the basis of the increased costs. Mayor Pooley, who represent­ ed council at the' meeting last week with Contractor R. A. Blyth, Toronto, said, a special meeting ■'would be called, for the P.U.C.' and council to consider the new proposal. Reeve William McKenzie and Councillor Alvin Pym criticized the delays which resulted in cost increases. Reeve McKenzie pointed out that estimates for the dam ‘ have almost doubled since the project was first pro­ posed. “I think it’s about time this council took action,” said the reeve. “We’re never consulted about, the project at all and we are the responsible body.. Why can’t We call a meeting to see if we .can got action?” The reeve suggested the town take over the project alone but the mayor pointed out that it could not get the government grant of 50 percent unless the scheme went through the Author­ ity. “I think we, could build suf­ ficient storage facilities at our own dam for the amount we’re going to pay them,” said the1 reeve. ' ' Wouldn’t Approve Cost The reeve asked the mayor j to poll councillors■ to find out if; they would approve the new in­ crease.- “I wouldn’t be in favor of it -myself: If there are others who feel the would knock right away.” The mayor ment of any P.U.C. meets. The Authority vembei' 30 to latest tender on Wak made clear ... __ ___ meeting that onus for approval lay with the town. If Exeter approves the increase, the On­ tario government will contribute its share. The Authority has to approve the new cost also. Mayor Pooley said he had been approached by two district contractors who felt they could erect the dam for less and he indicated it might be possible that new tenders will be called.

Need Board's Approval Approval of the municipal board will probably be also re­ quired, as the taxpayers of Exe­ ter will still be paying for the entire system; The chief advan­ tages of the plan, however, are mainly'as follows: 1. The debenture debt of the town is not increased. 2. Interest -rates will probably be lower under provincial bor­ rowing than municipal borrow­ ing. 3. A longer period for repay­ ment is allowed, namely 30 years, instead of 20 years, so that-the annual charges may not be as great I 4. Responsibility .for design, j construction, operation and finan­ cing is vested with the commis­ sion rather than the municipality. It should be noted at this point j that the commission will not pay for th^ entire original ihsthlla- tion but only .for the treatment plant and main trunk' sewers. I This situation would then still | involve the town in a local de- ' benture issue for sewering all streets that cannot be classified as routes of main-trunk sewbrs. We suggest that rather than attempt to solve the sanitary problem alone, the town make an application to. r the Water Re­ sources Commission at the ear­ liest opportunity for a review of the whole problem. If it isAdccided to turn the mat­ ter over to the commission, the commission would appoint en­ gineers to - design the type ol treatment plant required and the connecting trunks; it would call the tenders, award the construc- I tion contracts and supervise the ! construction. | When the work is completed and houses are connected to the I system and getting service, the ; sewer rates would go into effect, i The commission would appoint the plant opera tot* and maintain J —Please Turn To Page 3 c to Mrs. Sid West fdr construc­ tion of A 11W roof.
