Town council is investigating
the purchase of a secondpump
to ensure better disposal of the
sewerage . from Canadian Can-
ners Ltd.
The townwill also try to se-
cure more acreage for the
sprinkling' system and may
consider enlarging the lagoon.
Mayor R. E. Pooley assured
council Steps would be taken to
improve the system following
nereistent demands from Coun-
cillor Eldrid Simmons, Sim-
mons suggested council would

tion was taken before another

!Mayor Pooley appeared re-
luctant to discuss the problem,
insisting it was "pretty well
cleaned up now."
It was revealed, that the
• town pump had broken down
under pressure of increased
flow from the plant. Some of
the plant's machinery, too, had
broken down,
In addition, councilfound it
required more land on which
to winkle the effluent, end r.•e-
gretted that itt earlier had

ing of corn on part of the pro-
perty designated for. disposal.
Wet weather during July both
hampered and benefitted • the
disposal. Because the ground
was saturated, it could not ab-
sorb as much of the effluent.
However, with the river bin-
ning high the, disposal which
drained directly into the flow
was well diluted,

Tuesday, iron bars were in-
stalled on: the rear windows of
the store. These had been or-

the previous robbery.
