6 THR OSHAWA TIMES, Thundey, Pobruery 26, 1959 | Don't Want To Move » Firm Official Says PORT HOPE -- ""We don't want to move!" sald Robert Parkin, al manager, Arbo Leather pany, to Port Hope eoupcillors at a sewage commit- tee meeting in town night. (See Page 7 for other story) Mr. Parkins statement follow- ed reading of a report ordered by Ontario Water Resources Cummission to investigate cost of diverting toxic wastes from being dumped into the Ganaraska river to being treated at the town's $800,000 sewage disposal plant. He sat staring glumly at a win- dow while the report detailed costs totalling $13,500. Then he sald "It's a lot of money to dig up, but we want to co-operate with the town." He said that the most his com- pany could afford to spend a year on install retreatin uip-| i : $2000, greasing hides, chromium com- ment for sewage was "That'll take seven years to pay!" sald Mayor W.

A. Bran- don last night. Mr. Brandon said the commit- tee budget would be discussed at that meeting. Asked if the budget would contain allowance for pur. chase of replacement snow re- moval equipment for next year, he said 'Yes, the experience of this inter has shown clearly that a lot of our equipment is inade- quate." Mr. Brandon, in reporting for his committee Monday night, had mentioned the advantages of a grader several times. Asked if a grader would be discussed as a possible expenditure, he answer. ed "Yes". Town engineer K. R. Simmons revealed that his office had re- ceived several prices for used graders. The machines varied in horse- power from 50 to 150, he said, but an average heavy duty grader, had been priced at between $20, 000 and $22,000. He added that he did not think the town would pur chase one of these. He said that good used graders could be purchased from munic- ipalities which had amortized the Public Opinion Is Divided On Loss Of Big Industry PORT HOPE -- The possibility that Port Hope might lose one of jts long established industries, Arbo Leather Company has created a sharp split in public opinion: as to the need to rush a local plant into large capital ex) penditure. Ontario Water Resources Com- mission last night submitted an engineer's report to town sewage committee on waste being dump- , by the tannery, into the Ganaraska river. The Commission has said that Arbo must soon stop dumping polluting substances into the river. Among these substances, said engineer M. Yatabe last night, are varsol wastes, chrom- jum acidic compounds, and com- of Mr. Darrel. "Arbo provides steady jobs for 37 employees," he said. "I don't think the commis- sion should rush them into any- thing." Former councillor George Phil- lips said that Port Hope could do better than worry about Arbo Leather. 'There are still 20 raw sewage outlets into the river in town, dumping waste from houses," he said. Mentioning the [Cosmo Chemical Company, he said, "They say the town is 100 per cent hooked up with the sew- age disposal plant, but it isn't even 60 per cent hooked up." Contrary to these were opini dumping polluting wastes into the Ganaraska, they and any- body else should be stopped. Fish are reported to be only one quarter as many as there were years ago, and pollution has been blamed. Swimming in the river ponds is a thing of the past, as modern mothers refuse to let their offspring enter the murky brown water. f People seem to feel, with coun- cil, that it is time polluting of the Ganaraska was stopped, But they also feel it will be too bad if haste to purify water puts 37 local people out of work. from many quarters saying that it was time that pollution regula- tions were observed.
