credit into the river as stated in ttte- same paper fthe land011 operation or dump as i prefer to call it since a sanitary land fill oper ation is simply garbage cover ed with- soil u no botanical gardens but it is clean and at least on the day that i visited it the garbage was being cov ered as quickly as it was dump ed the operators had no ad vance notice i or the rest of the party including cr hatris- on deputy reeve young town foreman frank morettc and nick kirewskie the town en gineer were coming to view the site in all honesty the only place the times could have seen gar bage was at a spot where it could not teach the river at all this is the spot where the ow rc stated some cans and pa- peri were seen in the diver sion channel which is some sixty feet from the river this could never reach the river except perhaps in high flood- time since the ground between the diversion channel and the river itself is higher than the bed of the diversion channel t is is a dry bed by the way to further guard against illover of garbage the earth is three feet higher around the edgltor thvbahtcthan tthe gruund- level elsewhere to further refute a charge in the brampton paper i state categorically that on the day we were here and i stress speak only for that day there was no rotting garbage lying i covered no moi ntain of re fuse except that which was newly dumped and i contend here is no way of avoiding this and while the smell might not have been chanel no s in the hour i w s there it did not bother me al all att of these charges were made in ihe braipton paper july 16 the charge also of july 16th that it is one of the most unsightly threatening scars in some of the most scenic woodland and river views in canada may possibly bo true but i doubt it this piece of land was a- low lying rough pasture covered with scrubby bush right next to the railway track upon the completion of the lardfill operation if properly seeded or odded the area would definitely be improved i should like to point out that i set out to see the true state for myself not to white wash the town sanitary depart ment in fact i expected to fjind the rotting uncovered giro- age b ftr nf nt v flid

in the costs of the bridge such as the dcp of highways the board of trans i port the railway ad the county had been approached and if so what progress had been made reeve w hunter replied that a
