particularly thote industries which handle primary or basic raw materials many of there ihconvenlenceswe have learned to live with but with todays public iwneneu of there problemi the solution tut become more urgent qdettiod he beardmor and co eoabibated to the odor problabl which have penurd during the past bsenthlt aniwer we hive never denied thu nor do we believe we are the only source of that nuisance odors in the community question why have the edore reached a hlghef level thb summer than id theparit answer this summer is everyone knows we hive had long periods of severely warm and dry weather in our cue we believe this his idveraely affected the natural process of purification of our effluent in our lagooning system these lagoons should recover through the natural process of nature but there is no quick answer question ate any step being taked to eliminate the problem answer very definitely we ire spending a great deal of time effort and money and there is no question that an aniwer has to be and will be found we have some of the best engineers end chemists in canada and the united states working on thii as well as the full research stiff of canada packers limited this is also i project of sortie of the graduate students of waterloo university ind the univeiuty of manitoba who are working for their matters degree question what other steps are being taken aniwer in addition to our ditpoul system we are working on our actual process lo see if we can substitute chemicals which are leu offensive i believe that our company contributes approximately one dollar out of every four which is spent by the town of acton including the construction of the new sewage disposal plant we donated the tile for the plant and also for garbage disposal as well as the fill for the new settling beds however we do not use these sewage disposal facilllles but feet that with tome prelrealment of certain portloni of our effluent we should be able lo dispose of tome of it through the town system when the new plant is operating we will probably be ipproiching the town for some cooperitlott in this connection question what actually cause the odor answer it comes from the sulphide chemicals we uts in the process in the very hot and dry weather the wtsie lies in lagoons and a septic condition is crested when the bacteria are not activated it dies and the result is a disagreeable odor question we have had reports that tanneries fa other cllle and towns have no odor problem is this true answer moil linnenes dispose of effluent into the city or town sewage system winch assists them in minimizing odors question is there any health hazard in the odor answer if there was at leist so fcoatiaufd on pag j dennis jennings is stuck upwith a tatty candy topi at acton

into 1 another section in the north on a line extending from 401 highway along the third fourth and fifth lines milton would extend west to the appleby line in burlington and south to the lower base line in oakville over to the haltonpeel boundary nassagawey as contribution to the milton region would be the milton heights- kelso area burlington and oakville will both be smaller in size losing

up ihe millpark comer from ihe department of highways but there was no approval for debentures to finance the work and this is what was holding up the work he said council could overcome this and still take advantage of grants from the department of highways by paying for the lakeview paying with revenue from the current year he also thought this would leave enough money lo do it least 5000 in sidewalk construction the government is succeeding in what il is trying to do agreed deputy reeve ted tyler all items are being held up councillor jack greer reminded council i hit they had committed themtelves to a si 0000 expenditure on the sewer extension on churchill road north were going lo have lo find 20000 not j 1 0000 the critical thing is to settle ihe lakeview paving project tonight uid
