MAKES PLEA FOR ME
INDUSTRIES IN HURON
Speaking in the Ontario Legisla
ture last week, Tom Pryde M.P.P.
for Huron made a plea that something
be done to spread industrial develop
ment over a greater area of Ontario.
There is considerable concern in
rural municipalities, he said, about
the concentration of industry along
“the 60 or 70-mile strip centred on
Toronto and bordering Lake Ontario."
“The various municipalities in Hu
ron County have organized an in
dustrial advisory board on a country
wide basis. Townships as well as
towns and villages are co-operating.
“Their duties will consist of co-re-
lating all information as to the coun
ty labour pool—existing industries,
housing conditions, natural advan
tages and all other information re
quired by industrial prospects.
“It will publicize the Whole country
but it will remain for individual
councils or boards of trade to sell
their own industrial community".
Mr. Pryde Said that in small places
light industry would find a good
supply of labour; “ideal” living con
ditions, no traffic problem, niodern
schools and plenty of recreation facili
ties.

It looks as if the Wingham Town
Council is going to have to pay $5,000
for a roll of paper. And apparently
there’s very little that can be done
about it.
It all started about four years ago,
when the town council of that time
was told by the Department of
Health that they would have to have
a new sewage disposal plant in town.
At the time the move was instituted
the present sewage plant was con
demned, and the council was told to
replace it.
Negotiations were opened up with
Kilborn Engineering Company, who
were told to go ahead and draw up
plans for the new plant immediately.
Which they did.
Meantime the question of a new
public school came up, and when it
became evident that a new school
was necessary, plans for the sewage
disposal plant were shelved. In fact
the Municipal Board said that the
town was not in a position to finance
both projects at once, and because of
this the new school was given pri
ority.
Since that time a new high school
has been contracted for, and a new
wing for the hospital is now under
consideration. The original plan for
a sewage disposal plant has been
pushed farther and farther into the
background.
Council Got Shock
Last fall- council members got a
shock when they received a letter
from the Kilborn Engineering Com
pany asking them when they intend
ed going ahead with plans for the
sewage plant. And the letter con
tained a bill for $5,000, representing
services of the engineering firm to
date.
Not having figured on any such
outlay as $5,000 for plans, the coun
cil wrote back asking if payment
could be postponed until next year
when estimates could be adjusted to
take care of such a large outlay. The
company concurred.
At Monday’s meeting another letter
from the company was read, pointing
out that the new year had arrived,
and that the company would like to
go ahead with the work this year if
possible. Failing that, there was a
matter of $5,000 still outstanding.
No Time to Build
Council has been in a quandry
about the whole thing ever since the
first letter was received last year.
Obviously, with all the new building
going on around Wingham these
days, it’s no time to start on a
$125,000" sewage disposal plant pro
ject. On the other hand $5,000 is a
lot of money to put out on plans you
may not use.
To make matters worse, council
now has the idea that if and when a
new sewage disposal plant is built—
and it will probably have to be built
some day—there are new and cheap
er ways of building it. Which would!
mean that $5,000 worth of plaus-
would be useless.
The council it not prepared to
down without fighting, however. At
Monday’s session it was decided that
the mayor and the reeve should go
to Toronto to talk over matters with
the Kilborn Engineering Company,
In spite of everything it was felt
that perhaps “something could bo
arranged" with the company to stayo
off the $5,000 hole in this yeai<«j
budget.
