B4 Wednesday April READERS WRITE oppose water sewer proposals Ontario April Dear Sir I wonder If Iho on of the April Issue the Free n report or an editorial my nelHh- bors that not to object in niiKht be construed as being favor cost Your reporter appears to actually to that approach Considering the type of society we Ike in today where most of us never write much more than the signatures on our cheques a notice hard to understand tho best of times fur objections in writing seems a fair method to net tin indication of public opinion How many people wonder would ac tually have written to indicate their support asked for at the bottom of Ihe leRnl notice I see no need to distinguish between signed form letters of objection hand written ones If anyone thought that the people of who did sign plainly worded letter were not hilly aware what they were doing it would by the same nrgument follow that they were certainly not able to fully understand the intent or the Implications of complex legal notices published for their benefit The arithmetic in the last paragraph Even If FULLY HALF that is 108 out of the 216 were from husbands and wives individually they would account for 54 objections and added to the other half ll06wouldadduptol62 Since your article states than halt that figure actually be higher trust that you agree with me that first of all that and not than per cent of domestic families and secondly that that percentage Indeed NOT in compliance with village and township requests In addition to this the families quoted breaks down as follows Approximately ratepaer residents approximately tenants If we guess there to be non resident owners of vacant lots the total number of ratepayers would be approximately Out of that total objections were received or at least per cent In the Interest of accurate reporting I am sure will confirm and correct these simple facts and calculations As to the suggestion by other publicationsas noted in editorial of the same date that we ore against modernization I appreciate your comments and would like to add the following We ore not against modernization on the we are in favor of it However let us compare this cost project with a heart transplant Considered bold pioneering and promising at first but no longer performed Do we want major surgery on our village to euro the of our ailments or do we wish to eliminate the muse the patient would eventually anyway to the alter effects or to A solution proposed In the does perhaps not meet requirements of the seventies 1 suggest Unit wo take a more basic and relevant lo

very difficult ami expensive discharge the once beautiful dean water which has now become something mlled effluent into nearest convenient rhei It might been good Idea when we first thought of It but In It sUnlu Our thinking must i How Consider for example how we toilets with mnnlntnl as if our lives depended on it distend of using lj gallons of water to flash the toilet we should use perhaps ijunrt of ret let effluent perhaps a pint to dean onrselvt s the Chinese for Instance consider us to barbarians in respect reducing consumption and taking advantage of the best and latest in home I system we would hopefully begin restoring tins potability of our ground water llils together with proper well maintenance and In extreme the use at would be a great step In the right direction All these measures may have lo be enacted as enforced by Inspection and perhaps assisted by the province but would stilt be a lot easier to live with than fiiuindal burden imposed the proposed water nnd
