McKellar, chairman of the board of Scott Memorial Hospital, ex- plains why a "Yes" cote Is an urgent necessity for She hospital. In view of the decision that is to be taken concerning an ex.. tension to the sewer system it is considered desirable that the voting public in determining the manner in which to vote should give thought to these facts es they affect Scott Mem- orial Hospital. 1. For some years disposal of sewage at the hospital has pre- sented a serious problem. De- spite changes in the disposal system the difficulties have per- sisted and in fact are inereas- in 2. That this condition has ex- isted is indicated by the con- tents of a letter dated Jan, 18, 1955 from Dr. R. M. Aldus, Me- dical Officer of Stealth far Hur- on who says in part, "disposal here has already presented a coisaiderable .problem in the past and it ,might become worse at any time", 3. 'Certain facilities at the hospital are inadequate partic- ularly those required for laund- ry. lack of sewage disposal ca- pacity has delayed these im- provements. 4. On an ordinary day there is a hospital population of ap- proximately 75. This is increas- nrg each year and as the popu- lation increases the sewage dis•• :posal problems increase like- wise. 5. (Because of the built up area in which the hospital is lo- cated it is not possible to en- large bhe present disposal facili- ties and experts agree there is no alternative to the problem other than to provide entry to a municipal sewage system. In considering how to vote on the question each elector is urg- ed to give proper weight to these facts and to remember that the hospital is a public m- stitution serving the entire community. The extent to which it can continue to !provide such service can be placed m jeop- ardy unless some solution is found to its sewage disposal problem. MOH Recommends Sewer Extension. The following is a letter dated Dee, 5, 1956, from Dr. Aldis, Medical Officer of Health for Huron, addressed to D. H. Wilson, town clerk of Seaforth: It is noted with regret that an insufficient majority in Council Prevented the extension of sewer- age to serve Scott Memorial Hos- pital and intermediate area this Year.. While other parts of the Town are certainly in need of sanitary sewers, the previously mentioned district is a critical one from the health standpoint. There is also another aspect. Each year, more and more muni- cipalities have been faced with considerable costs and legal ex- pense through civil action as a result of alleged neglect in mun- icipal responsibility. I sincerely, hope, therefore that; the coning year will see the be- ginning' of an orderly progression) of sanitary service in Seaforth, EGMONDVILLE Dr. (Semple will be the guest speaker .at the ;Lions {Club, 'Mount Forest, Thursday even- ing.
