at council meeting when initial readings were given to a bylaw by which the on tario water resources commission will hanlde construction of the 830000 system for the town the proposed activated sludge plant will have a capacity of a million and a half gallons daily and will be planned so that later additions will be made as georgetown grows the owrc has suggested that the town pay for the system by a 10 yearly charge to each water us er 5 mills on the tax rate and a sewer service rate which would amount to some 8 annually for each user of the system council picked holes in this prop- osition last night criticizing it as causing complicated bookkeeping to raise 83000 annually at present some 20ooq would come from the water rates 50000 from general taxes and 113000 from a service charge as the mill rate dollar value varies as assessment changes mayor armstrong said this would be an unsatisfactory way of hand ling payment it is impossible to charge frontage tax as the present sewage system is still being paid for on this basis he saftf council finally agreed on a ten tative plan to have 11000 paid for by water users and 72000 from general taxes on cr lfcgilvrays suggestion the
