On July 6 a total of 2,550,000|feli to 17 feet at galions of water was. used in town easily beating any previ ous record. PUC Manager Harry Simp- son said that during July the record was beaten more than once and that the station was currently operating beyond capacity. The July 6 record was aided by the fracture of a 10-inch main which was broken at the bridge on Brock street south Thought to have been damaged by vibration caused by passing trucks, the pipe was repaired the same day. DRAINED STAND PIPE Between 8 p.m. and mid- night on the record shattering day the level in the storage tank at Kinsmen's Park drop- ped to zero. The tank, which holds 250,000 gallons, was com- pletely empty with water supply to the town coming directly from the pump house On the next day a peak of 2,241,000. gallons was «eached with a peak between 8 p.m. and The level in the storage tank that time but by midnight had reached 24 feet. Pumping had caught up with, and exceeded the demand. From July 7 to July 15 the record was maintained with more than 2,000,000 gallons be- ing used each day. On the fol- lowing day its peak period was from 6 p.m. until! ll p.m, A maximum 29 inches was re- corded at the tank which had fallen to 21 inches at night, this showed that the pumping station was not unable to meet; the demand "The facilities are overtaxed at present and we are pump- ing beyond capacity,"' Mr. Simpson states, "'although the PUC has ample intake and fil- ter facilities, the mains and pumps are not sufficient for the demand.' He noted that no extensions have .been made to the works since the previous record year That was the banner 'year of 1961 when 1,980,000 gallons were pumped Plans have been studied by the Commission for some time, WHITBY BROCK Evening Shows At 6:55 & 9:00 p.m. SATURDAY MATINEE AT 1:30 Bin en OT In the high-adventure tradition of "The Guns Of Navarone'!

FLUORIDATION On the subject of fluorida tion the PUC Manager said that the necessary equipment been ordered and will be install- ed next month or in early Sep- tember. The machinery requir ed for the chemical will cost an estimated $3,500 The Whitby water works will! use sodium silicofluoride which will have 60 per cent of avail- able fluorine, the chemical which is said to halt tooth decay. Mr. Simpson pointed out that care will be taken against this material being mistaken for alum. Alum is used as a coagu-) lant before the water reaches the filtration plant and causes particles to stick together and to be filtered out easily Rate Cut Slightly On Treasury Bills OTTAWA (CP)--The treasury bil rate eased to 5.47 per cent from 5.51 last week, the Bank Fined $75 On Driving Count An Oshawa man was fined \$75 and costs on a charge of driving while his licence was suspended at Whitby Police Court this week Joseph Caru- ana, 543 Ritson road south ap- peared before Magistrate F.
