THE TOWN COUNCIL REPORT OF ENGINEER JOHNSON ON SEWER PROBLEM. Advises a Commencement of Perma- nent Work on Victoria Street -Paget Orrin Door Co. Wants Whole of Wheel Higs FSC1ory-Other Municipal Matters Before Regular Meeting of Town Fathers. All the members of the town coun- cil were present at the regular meet- ing on Friday evening. A bunch of flowers iu a "vase" on the table lent en uowonted air of comfort and gaiety to the meeting, it it did not exaetly beautify the dingy old council cham- ber. Among the oommuoications re- ceived was one to the Mayor from the Joint Committee of Technical Organi- zations with reference to the work of that bddy and coking cu•uperatioo in its researches. This was sent to the special committee. A request from Chief Postlethwaite for the customary holidays for him- self and Sergeant Moore was sent to the special committee with power to set. A petition for a sewer on South street, from Britannia road to Blake street, endorsed by the medical health officer and signed by Mr. J. R. Orr and others, was referred to the public woe its committee. The Paget Grain Door Co. wrote stating that larger accommodation would be required for its bu•inesr and Proposing to lease the whole of the Wheel Rigs factory. Referred to special committee. A report from Sydney M. Johnson, C. E., of Stratford, on his examination of the sewerage system between Nel- eon street and Britannia road, was re- ceived and refer red to the public works committee. Mr. Johnson says he is satisfied the Nelson street sewer is not wnrkiug to full capacity and ad- vises the building of an additional manhole on St. Andrew's street, so that the condition of the sewer might be determined more readily. Tnis sewer should take care of all sewage arising on Nelson street and north thereof. With regard to the larger scheme for the extension of the Brit - Annie road sewer from Cameron street to Victoria and lNelsoit streets, :gr. Johnson says that at the present junc- ture he presumes the town does not deter, to incur .large expenditure. sod for the (Arena he advtttee the construction of a pert only of this sys- tem, as follows : "Commencing at Brock street on Victoria street, lay a nine -inch tile to East street, a distance of 0110 feet, and from least street lay twelve -in. tile to St. Devid's street,a distance of 3JU feet, linking up there for the present with the nine -inch by way of Elgin avenue. I hesitate to advise that Newgate l.e diverted t,y way of East street alone. in case your system there should he - come overtaxed on the Square, where- as by the method advised all work is permanent and your system in this part will have the additional relief by way of Elgin until the remaining part of the Beitanoia system can be in- stalled." (There is Vit present no sewer on Brock street, and Mr. Johnson wittier that the part between Brock am. Newgate can wait until required) The finance committee recommended payment of a number of accounts and reported another payment fr the National Shipbuilding Co. on account of the purchase of the Doty plant. The special committee recommended that no action he taken on the com- munication from the Union of Cana- dian Municipalities with reference to joining the ('pion this year. The market committee recom- mended that Mr. Charles Thome@ be appointed market clerk, the town to get five per cent. of the fees. The public works committee recom- mended that permission be given fns the removal of the tree on 8t. David's street in frant of Mr. R. E. Wilson's. residence ; and that metal ill be sup- plied for a new poultry -house at the Agricultural grounds at a cost not to exceed =II(i. These reports were all adopted. A eeimplaint from Constable Pellow of discourtesy from Chief Post le- thwaite in connection witha young man whom the latter considered too young to handle an automobile, hut who, according to Mr. Pellow, had a license, was referred to the special committee. A discussion arose over the question of amounts owing the town from vari• one sources. it was decided to notify the fishermen in arrears for rental to pay up. and the chairman of the fin- ance committee was asked to inter- view the manager of the Ooderich Organ Co. with regard to arrears. in reply to an inquiry, the clerk said applications for dog -tags were corning in very well. The council then adjourned. Ice cream for the "poor man and his family" at his noon meal on Sunday is s thing of the peat. "What next?"
