No Objections to
Sewage Lagoon
At Open Hearing
A public meeting called by
the Water Resources Commis-
sion of Ontario at the townhall
here last Thursday, was attend-
ed by council members from
both Wingham and East Wawa -
nosh, interested government
authorities and engineers, to
discuss the proposed sewage
lagoon for the town.
The meeting was called to
hear any complaints that might
have been forthcoming from
East Wawanosh residents where
the lagoon will be located.
However, no one from that
municipality registered any ob-
jections to the plan.
The Commission members
also went over proposed financ-
ing of the project with town
officials and, it is understood,
approved of the project in all
aspects. They were particular-
ly pleased that the municipali-
ty had taken steps of its own
accord to reduce pollution from
sewage in the Maitland River.
