Make fresh start on sewer project At a special meeting of the Wingham town council last Wednesday evening it was learn- ed that the installation of new sewer lines along Industrial and Water Streets will be delayed. Negotiations have been un- der way for several months to provide sewer lines which. would serve the Western Foundry, • Stanley Berry and other proper - lies in the area north of the river. The project had reached the point of calling 'for tenders and the job was awarded to Mowbray Construction of Wing- ham. However, word was received from the Ontario Municipal Board that all the necessary re- quirements -had not been met. Council.decided to start right back . at the beginning and ad- vertise the details of the plan so that property owners who would be assessed may have an opportunity to agree with or ob- ject to the scheme. The delay will set the whole project back several w e e k s, particularly since the . heavy weather of winter will provide an obstacle to the work. . Atthe same meeting council approved a grant of about $3, 000 to the Recreation Com- ' mittee to cover its deficit for the year. ' Voters must decide size of commission When voters in the town of Wingham go to' the polls on Monday one of the ballots they will receive will ask whether or not the voter is in favor of a five- man public utilities com- mission.

Since its formation. some 40 years ago the publicutilities commission in Wingham has been composed of three men., two of whom, are elected 'by_the voters and the third an appoint- ee of the town council, usually the : mayor. During the, past year council was, advised that it had the pow- er to increase the membership' ' of the commission to five., Some members of council b -.e lieved, that the three-man com- mission has serious drawbacks;' since the absence or illness of one. and sometimes ;two mem bens has, iriYxi�rnes_past l "left th commission short of a quorum Organist presented WHITECHURCH--Rev.
