Sewer Program
Mr. Barr, an engineer of the
Ontario -Water Resources Com-
mission was in Seaforth Thurs-
day and did a further survey in
Connection with the proposed ex-
pansion of the original sewer
program.
The plan proposed last year
which involved putting in a sewer
pump on 'West William Street to
join up the new sewer with the
present system would have cost
$20,000 for the pump alone. Coun-
cil felt the money could be used
to better advantage by connecting
the James Street line to a trunk
sewer east on Side Street to con-
nect across to Coleman Street.
This would serve a greater area
and eliminate the need for a
pump. Also the county engineer
was in town recently in conned -
non with having a sewer laid un-
der North Main Street before a
major rebuilding job is done on
North Main Street by the county
next year.
It is understood the proposed
work might be eligible for a fed-
eral government grant.

sale canvass ,had revealed some
lack of understanding about the
functions of the hospital auxil-
iary, also there had been criticism
of the purchase of food supplies
out of town, Board members said
that bulk buying had reduced
food costs to the 900 level approv-
ed by the commission. To ex-
ceed that rate would cost the
hospital $1,000 extra annually.
