or raw water supply of the town
has nothing much wrong with it,
according to assurance by the
M.O.H. "for years," Councillor
Joseph Moody told the _ Rotary
Club at" Tuesday's luncheon.
He expressed the opinion that
there is nothing very serious to
worry about in connection with
the water supply, but he em-
phasized the impossibility of
any pumping plant providing
for night -long use of lawn
sprinklers, with water "run-
ning down driveways into the
streets and sewers." He, He, advo-

Good Council
"We have a good council,"
Mrs. Mooney said; "I think we
have able men—young men,
and older ones with experience.
I expect to lean heavily upon`
them in the comin months."
"iehave--promised- the :mayor:,
elect all the co-operation I can
give," said Reg. Jewell, elected
deputy. reeve. "She will have
a heavy load 'to carry. I have
been a member of council in
the past four years and I feel
highly honored in many ways:
first of all, to be a member of
a council with the first lady
mayor in the history of Gode-
rich. Secondly, 1t is an honor
for me to have received acclam-
.P
ation as deputy reeve and
member of county council.
"We have a very heavy year
coming up, and will look for-
ward to a goodexear. The sew-
age
ewage disposal plant will be a
major job, our storm sewer
plans, senior citizens' housing,
of which' ' I am vice-president,
and many other things. I have
met men of the county council
in the past, and look forward
to working with that body.”
Tenth Year
"This will. be my tenth year
in council," said Councillor
Moody, '`axed I thank everyone
who had any part in permitting'
me to take the office another
year.
"I do not know whether the
water system has been clarified
to the satisfaction of everyone
or not, but awak- back at the
start of negotiations, when the
suggestion of reducing. the .size
of the filtration bed was trade,
the question of an auxiliary
sugpiy of -..water in case of dis-
aster was brought up,, and I
remember making the sugges-
tion that a bypass might be the
answer. `Just to have an aux-
iliary system ready in case of
a disaster would be satisfactory.
However, I had no idea the
hospital would. have a say, and
as soon as the bypass was men-
tioned they took objection; they
did not want raw water in the
hospital. The hospital could
use its tanks until a disaster
was over. Like the fire at the
dock, these things do not last
long. We would be left with
the `old' town supply of con-
taminated or raw water. We
call it contaminated, but for

running doh driveways into'

can -handle a situation like that.
"iven in Vancouver, where
they 'have the ocean behind
them, and the sztgply comes
down from a point considerably
higher than the city, they have;
to have control. They divide
the city into parts, one using
the water one day and the other
the next, When I was there 10
or 12 yearn ago, lawns' were
burning up. In our case you
could divide the town into two
or fourparts, and allow every-
body to use all the water they
liked during the time, but only
that part of the town, and in
this way we would alleviate the
shortage., There is no point
in putting in a putnping plaint
to waste water. It is too costly.

said Councillor Bert Squire,
"but rather for industrial pro-
