rates ,or through taxation -4e save

One difficulty, as seep by Dr.
Berry, would be that costs might
go up while the money was being
set aside, so that . the purpose of
a reserve fund might be. nullified
to some extent.
"Goderich• just. can't build both
of these at the same time: 1 don't
need the :Municipal Board' to tell
ine-that!" declared Reeve Donnelly..
Dr. Berry had said earlier that the
Municipal Board. would not ap-
prove any expenditures which it
did not think Goderich could
handle. .
"We consider it more important
to have the water system than the
sewage plant," said the, reeve. He
asked if it would not be a -sound
move to set aside a reserve for
the water, plant so that there- will
be money ready when construction
starts.
By having money ready in ad-
yance, the town would. be able to
avoid paying out large sums to
cover interest on long-term de-
bentures. -
Dr. Berry insisted that he would
like tei `seeM�'ti'le" town start construc-
tion of water and sewage plants at
the same time, rather than shelve
one until later. .
