es that Rev, Cecil M. Jardine, B.A.,

i) f LI .ommittee to the

A new sewage disposal plant, re-
placement of overloaded parts of
the present sewage system and new
trunk Hues costing an estimated
$250,000 were approved in principle
al. Monday evening's council meet.
The decision vamp after a long
discussion on the problem. Public
Works chairman Donald Nesmith
Wel council that it was imperative
that the overloading of the system
at the south end of Josephine St.
be attended to just as fast as pos-
sible. He suggested that if coun-
cil did not take any action on the
large plan it .was absolutely neces-
sary to do something soon to rec-
tify overload conditions at the Jo-
sephine and Victoria Fils section.
These remarks sparked the
council into action to consider
whether or not it wee time to take
action on the plan which had been
prepared last fall by Barns Ross,
consulting engineer, of Goderich.
Mr. Roes wan present at the meet-
ing and staled it would be possible
to undertake remedial action on the
overload conditions as outlined by
Mr. Nesmith,. and in the discussion
that followed he pointed out to
(munch the relative merits of eith-
er going alieed with the overall
plan for revamping the system or
just, fixing up the area which is
causing immediate yoncern.
This brought the discussion to fi-
nancing and it was never clearly
