Ken Saxton told last Thursday's meeting of the PUC that the town's Public Works Committee chairman, Reeve Joe Kerr, had contacted him and ex- pressed fears that snowplowing the town sidewalks on Josephine St. will be hindered because the PUC has set their new . poles .so far in from the roadway. Mr. Saxton said that ,when he L r had . i'�red the town pow l Owl* would ^bne fiein from read; oMb il;oYt:h:iit. ("{ voic • . The poles were placed. abo 14 inches in from the curb. rnmissioner DeWitt Miller •c nimented that people had re- q ested that the poles be set back ause the old poles caused Eight more paratyphoid cases listed Eight more victims of para- typhoid fever have been reported to district health officials since last week's original report of four • persons suffering the disease. Medical authorities added that most of the victims are suffering a relatively mild case of the dis- ease which is a much weaker re- lative of typhoid fever. The disease is highly infectious but, authorities add, rarely fatal. The new outbreak has necessit- ated a new battery of sample tests or at least 50 more people who have been in contact with the latest victims. This brings the number of people tested to about 150 to date. Huron County Health Officer Dr. Frank Mills, said that none of the first 100 people tested had postive results. While Dr. Mills publicly states that the worst period is probably over, other sources have reported that ,isolated cases of the bowel infection have turned up in Goderich, Listowel, Owen Sound, Collingwood and other towns in the area. Wingham PUC Supt. Ken Saxton, upon hearing that the dis- ease could be carried through water supplies, immediately ordered tests of the town's water system. Reports from a Palmer- Ston laboratory so far have given the system a clean bill of health. Dr. Mills says that the best way to combat the disease is through good personal hygene. He further adds that if you suffer the dis- ease's symptoms of headaches, chills, nausea and diarrhea a • doctor should be contacted immediately. 40 Taking corse in Dublin, Ireland Doug Mowbray, son of Mrs. and Mrs. Angus Mowbray of Wingham, a final year stu t in medicine at the Univers of Western Ontario and John ad - ley of Lucknow, also in his inal year of medicine at t Uni- versity of Toronto, left recently for Irreland.

He added that at least one businessman had complained about the new poles. To that someone replied that the com- mission was not trying to please the merchants but the majority of the townspeople. Commission Chairman Roy Bennett added that the poles can- not be put against the stores on the main street, as one person had suggested, because that would make the spacing uneven between 4St.arid 'reduce their' t: M�en ettg-A gete meeting between Mr.Kerr, town foreman Ted Whit* and the members of the PUC be arranged to further discuss the problem. New Charge The PUC has received per- mission to levy a $7 hydro connection and meter installation for cases of occupancy change. The superintendent commented that when there is a change of occupancy the person moving out will not be asked to pay but the new occupant will have to pay the $7. The charge is expected to come into effect in January of 1975. A letter from Ontario Hydro concerning Christmas lighting has asked the PUC to use con- straint in the use of decorative lighting. The crown corporation has suggestedthat lights 1* turned on after the dinner hour and then be turned off before residents retire for the night. The suggested operating hours are between 7 p.m. and 12 p.m. The • .matter of energy conservation �. has been pointed up by recent reports that Ontario Hydro has had to cut energy exports to New York by two million kilowatts be- cause of problems with their generating facilities. Supt. Ken Saxton told the com- missioners that the new stand- pipe has been filled and drained once and tests have been taken on 1 water 1i chlorine;ev. s.

The superintendent also reported that there have been isolated cases of weeping• in the structure. However, such occur- rences are usual with this type of tank, and, given time they correct themselves. Mr. Saxton informed the PUC members that he was one step aheadof health officials in the area and ordered tests on the town's water system himself in the light of the recent outbreak of paratyphoid fever in the area. All the test results so far have turned up no traces of bacteria in the system. its•annuaI banquet on Saturday evening THE ININC,rH�►yN1 LEGION hi���l q and this lady and these entlem , all:of whom served in the,First World War, were in attendance: George anger, George Howson, George- Ingles, Frank ae ni l ver Gor� a Currie, pick Mensises H.(bacCurrieroa'tnd'.l=uemen Copeland, • Faculty, parents and digni- taries gathered in the auditorium. of F.
