'Cesspools back of stores again took up a 1•ot of discussion. Council- lor Sharp wanted to have •owners put down a four-ineh glazed tile to the cesspool, capped, so that the scavenger could quickly open it and drop in his hose. This would save having to dig open the cesspool each time. He asked about making a filt- er bed, as there is no space for weepage. Councillor Leslie said a filter bed would be no good. Councillor James T. Soott said Proper surface drainage had proved a big help and it was decided to see about putting down a shallow drain behind the stores on the west side of Main street between John and Goderich streets.; Councillor Sharp persisted that a charge should be made for cleaning out cesspools, Councillors Crich and Close favored no charge unless over three times.
