took over the job of parttime caretaker were received at council monday cr era hyde promoter of the caretaker project said the park has never been in such good con dition and the new policy is pay ing off in better facilities and less vandalism his suggestion that two drink- quoting costs far a complete new sewage disposal plant or an enlargement of the present plant mr redfern of a toronto engineer ing firm gave a flat opinion to council monday that a new plant is the 6nly ultimate answer to the towns needs mr redferas firm of consult ants proctor redfern a lin of toronto was engaged al most a year ago to make a survey of the towns needs and present ed their report to council last fall on monday he reiterated that the only recommendation ids firm can make is to abandon the present disposal plant built ten years ago in favour of a larger new one lo cated at the extreme southern extremity of georgetown such a new plant would have the advantage of gravity flow eli minating any operating headaches with two major pumping stations which would be needed were the plant left at the present site be said a minor consideration too would be its removal from the centre of the future town be pointed out dealing with figures he esti mates cost of a disposal plant to handle initially a million and a half gallons of sewage daily at 830000 converting the present plant to a similar size at present its ca pacity is 300000 gallons was es timated by mr redfern at 770- 000 this to include two pumping stations necessary to serve the delrex area a 80000 saving in capital cost would have to be balanced against upkeep charges and maintenance of the pumping stations he said and he could not recommend such a measure questioned by cr era hyde about what it would cost to double the size of the present plant to take care of georgetowns cur rent population mr redfern esti mated this at 120000 if a new plant is built trunk sewer line would be run from the present plant location to the new one- a 247000 cost for this trunk sewer is equivalent to what two pumping stations would cost if the present site were utilized asked by cr alfred sykes if a trunk line would care for future needs of the older section of town should there be extensive development there mr redfern answered in the affirmative net savings of 14000 yearly are estimated by the engineers for a new plant referring to a large industry which is definitely considering georgetown as a location for from three to five plants mayor armstrong urged council to con ing fountains be installed total sider the
