for positioning the outlet pipe from the proposed sewage plant so It would pollute the river at Eden Mills We use the river and the valley all the tune Mrs Vos said and we are upset by talk that the sewage will not permit Ice to form in winter She said they enjoyed walking on the ice and often walked to during the winter There were also some questions asked about the thorny question of financing

problem but create many more They could ruin a life style he charged with demands for subdivisions and industry Is that what you want he asked the audience Some at the meeting thought the association should take a firmer stand and tell the OWR C they Just didnt wont the projects but Mr Strong said the association was powerless to act until the hearing which was virtually assured by the number of objections which had been forwarded to the township clerk Association brief He also sold the association would have a brief in front of the hearing with assistance from experts from the University of
