"Durham County's Gra cmily Journal" VOLUME 95 le y d6 A-& %W NTARIO.THURSDA.L OCTJ6 BER 6th .OuLq4!MB 4 Interesting Reports Heard At Annual Dinner Meeting Town Chamber of Commerce, ProposedS levated Tank %4ws Couhcilors' Protest At Long Drawn Out Session A by-law authorizing the Bow- manville Utilities Commission to borrow $75,000 for the payment of an elevated watr tank behind the pump bouse came under heavy attack at the October meeting of the Town Council held Monday evening. Mayor Lawrence C. Mason occupied the chair. The only member absent was Reeve Norman Allison. Con. Morley Vanstone was the chief dissenter ta the by-law and started a discussion that lasted well over an bour and is stili flot finished. Coun. Vanstone, al- thougb he stated he didn't bave the knowledge of an engineer, still personaly felt tbat the ele- vated tank was flot necessary if the Utilities were ta go ta their present suppiy north of the town and run another pipeline in, in- creasing bath the supply and the pressure of water ta the consum- ers. Springs Sufficient Through bis own experience with the stream of water at the West of the town he felt that the argument about the springs run- ning dry was witbout foundation and that the town wouid have an excellent ource of supply from these springs indefinitely. Othersi on the cauncil, including Coun.1 Vanstone, expressed the opinionj that tbe town sbould get addition- ai outside engineering advice onj the use of the present springs for a arger supply of water. i Mayor ïMason, the anly member of the Utîlîties present, feit that £romi information divulged by of-t ficials and variaus engineers ta ý the Utilîties, that the only sen-1 sible tbing for the town ta do wasi ta go ta tbe lake for an endles.s1 supply of water. He also informedt council that the Utilities had beent looking ahead and bad taken out an option to purchase a parcel ofc land near or on the lake front. To Municipal Board The by-law which will be paid for by the water consuniers re- ceived Its first and second read- ings and will now go to the On- tarie Municipal Board for its ap- proval. If they approve, the by- iaw wiil thon came back ta coun- cil for more discussion and the final passing, if the majority agree on the need of the elevated tank. Due ta the amount of time lef t this year -before the frost, and the quantity of red tape yet ta go througb, the matter of-paving El- gin and Liberty Streets was left until next year. Deputy Reeve Jamieson also expressed the be- lief that W0, of the tawn's share of this work would be paid by the Provincial goveroment if the paving wz;s included in next year's estimate. Furtber particu- lars will be obtainc'd and brougbt up at a future meeting. Police Pensions The matter of police pension-- and the provincial grant invoived was brougbt up when the form askîng for the grant was returned for further action from the Pro- vincial Police commissioner. Coun. Vanstone pointed out that the initial cast of this scbeme was extremely beavy but due ta lack of information was not acted upon. It will be brought before the whole council at a special meeting Oct. 18. It \vas felt bV' several of the councillors that al] permanent municipal employees.! shauhd be included in this plan if possible. Town Solicitor Ross Strike, K. C., referring to the recent peti- tion from the residents of Duke St., near the Station Rd., asking for water stated that the only way they could get this would be thraugh a dertificate issued by the Ontario Deot. of Healtb. Tbe town cheik was înstructed ta write the property owners con- cerned and tell them the petition was insufficiently signed and the only way tbey could get it, in the event the other ratepayers an the <Continued on Page Fifteen) nw avil High School Champs htter-School Track, and Field Day Favored with '- "- -r, th e Annual Inter-sehool Field and Track Meet in v -Ils in Whitby, Bowmanville, Ux- bridge and Port Poe , was hcid Friday afternoon in picturesque Port Pei.

"People want Bowmanville to be the quietest and cheapest town there is and this feeling will only hinder the prosperity of the town," said Walter DeGeer in bis report frorm the Industrial De- velopment Comh"mittee to the Bowmanville Chamber of Com- merce at their first meeting of the fiscal year, Tuesday evening. It took the form of a dinner meet- ing at the Balmoral Hotel and was well attended. This state- ment sums up the feelings and words of ail those who spoke ta the gathering at that time which indicated lhat the citizens of thc town were not supporting the Chamber and the Town Council as they should. Hard Financial Year Keith Jackson, president of the Chamber of Commerce, intro- duced Mayor L. C. Mason as the first speaker. The Mayor gave aj brief resume of the activities of year, stressing the fact that they the Town Council during the past had been hindered by a Iack of finances and by the apathy of the voters once the election was over. He did mention three arrange- ments conêeýning the Publicc Utilities Commission that would be of benefit to the town. These were: a proposed by-law which would enable the Public Utilities lit ta take over future operatians of the sewage and disposai systems, arrangements for an annual agree- ment, whereby the Publie Utili- ties would make an annual pay- ment in excess of $1,000 ta the t town treasury from. their waterh and electric funds, and a pay-e ment from thé Public Utilities fi The Cavalcade of Stars Circus tion of the fire truck, which itemn was flot included in the original budget.
