of bylaw governing industrial waste disposal in order to safeguard present or fu ture sewage plants from trouble caus ed by toxic wastes certain industries such as packing plants tanneries plating or paper processing can play havoc with a sewerage system he said unless wastt products are required to be pre- treated a policy has been adopted which will require property owners to pay charges of
