Wawa NO VOTE NEEDED FOR SEWER, BOARD RULES The application of Seaforth Coun- cil was granted on Monday by the Ontario Municipal Board for ex- penditure of. $95,000 to install a sewerage system. No vote of the tax- payers is required. The decision was trade at the close of a public hearing held in the town hall here on Monday afternoon. R. C. Rowland, vice chairman of the board, conducted the hearing, accompanied by C. W. Yates, Q.C., board member.
