(Much Needed in Clinton. At the, regular meeting' of council Monday evening, Dr, J. W. Shaw, Me- dical health Officer, addressed coun- ell briefly on the trouble caused byi the inferiority of sceptic tanks in Clinton. Our health officer feels that a sewerage system is necessary to maintain the high standard of health existing, here now. Our water system, is one of the best but citizens must realize the danger if an epidemic were to arise. With the increased housing problems here something will have to be done and done soon. Too much care cannot be in instal- ling a eorreet system. The health of- ficer also read several answers he had received from towns of a similar size, with their views and suggestions. Now is a good thne to start gathering information and immediately after the war the system •could be started. Estimates will be made before a votes will be put before the people, but a properly installed system as a post war measure will bear serious consid- eration.
