in water servicing when costs rise above 100 a year for the average home the maximum contribution by the province for both water and sewage works will nol be greater than so per cent of the total cost of the works however there may be a few costs in very highcost projects that the 50 per cent grant may not be sufficient to meet all cost above 20 tor sewage and 100 for water mr kerr said rockwood is
