At the meeting, the Board also decided to purchase a $25,000 gasoline engine and pump for auxi- lary service at the local pumping station. Applies For Watep The formal application for a water main extension into East Whitby township came from Wal- ter Potts, 341 King street west, who asked for a 60-foot extension of the 13% inch main to serve his house, This main is a semi-private one which connects with the eity water supply at King street and Park road, the city limits, and has been serving residents on a portion of King street west of Park road for about 12 years. It now goes within one lot of Mr, Potts' vesids ence, , Chairman of the board, G. W, McLaughlin remarked that if this petition were granted, the Board would find itself in deeper water all the time, A principle had been adopted to not extend water olt- side of the city, and he would not be a party to its violation, Agreement Repudiated Commissioner H. P, Schell ask- ed if the township had offered to enter into a satisfaciory agreement with the city for a supply: o water, It was explained by City Engineer W, C. Smith and chairman Mec- Laughlin that an agreement had been drawn up some time ago. but hag been repudiated by the town- ship on account of the expense, but that, in their opinion, the township would now be willing to sign al- most any agreement to get water, The city council, however, had adopted a policy not to furnish city water outside the municipality, Mayor R, D. Preston spoke of the many districts in the city, especially the area east of Oshawa boulevard, still without water, and declared that these should be look- ed after before water was sent out- side the city, Water Polluted City Engineer Smith brought up the question of water supply in North Oshawa, One resident of the township just north of the eity limits, he said, had spent $2.000 on a private water system, only to find that the water was pelluted with colon bacilli, or typhoid fever germs, and was unfif for human consumption, "There is no doubt that 8 major- ity of wells in that neighborhood, from which people are using water today, are polluted in a similar manner," said the city epginheer, "Of course, a test has not been made, and we do not know for sure; but there is no doubt that many of the wells in that commun- ity get water from the same upder- ground supply," "That's a question for East Whit- by to worry about," thought Mayor, Preston, who wondered if the Pro- vineial Department of Health could issue an order on the township Lo provide a good water supply for the North Oshawa commupity, Mayor Preston continued with the suggestion that perhaps the city could annex part of North Osh- awa, for perhaps two blocks north | of the city limits, This community would then be within the corpora- tion and the city could grant them a water supply, ¥ Commissioner Schell thought that it was out of the Water Com- mission's province to talk of an- nexations, but the mayor suggested that the Board could at least agit- ate for the move if it thought it @ desirable one, In reference to the application of Mr. Potts ,it was decided by the Board that the policy laid down by the council would have to be-ad- hered to, and the petition was re- fused.
