of occupancy permits according to a motion passed by council this week Occupancy permits will continue to be issued for any building already having a building permit The move was Initiated by a recommendation from the Planning Board urging council to investigate the possibility of a health hazard to worn the surrounding residents and to fence the area Mayor Bill Smith said the two latter requests had already been fulfilled and the manhole repaired so no sewage was escaping The contentious part of the motion the stopping or building permits as It originally read provoked on hour long debate The mayor said an emergency system for peak periods had been Implemented This involves by passing the Igeslor and the use of the holding tank only Cr Phil Insisted testing be done frequently to show if there is a health hazard and we must be told the results Immediately Mayor Smith said he had been at meetings on Friday and Monday morning and had been told the problem was widespread this year because of the very wet winter He said council had taken all the steps necessary toward the con of the on to the sewage plant Mayor Smith pointed out the resent plant is capable of the existing

tightening up of he existing sewage system as outlined in a Planning Board report of Cr Harry Levy said the report had been prepared by Gary Brown member of the Planning Board and was available If council did not have it don panic easily said Cr Levy but there still a possibility of something going wrong so I feet we should pass the motion William Hunter con ended Cr had voted against a motion to expand he sewage treatment plant June Cr Siddall retorted I op posed the motion till I could get more information on costs and the type of plant we should have When I received the In formation I supported it Deputy Reeve said he was in favour of the rest of the motion but disagreed with slopping building permits The W C said Infilling In the own with no large scale development would make no difference to the sewage plant he said Cr Roy Booth suggested the sentence be changed from if a health hazard exists to if a health hazard continues and asked for the deletion of the clause stopping building per mils When his seconder Levy t agree he with drew his name from the motion Cr Siddall then signed it The motion was then changed from building permits to permits and the provision that no
