"The cost would be too high," a spokesman for the Commission said, "and it would not be a good engineering job." It was also pointed out that the purchase of a septie tank would cost an individual homeownen far less than the amount he would have ta pay should plans for the tnunk sewers be carried through. Residents in this district (some 26 lots) would be harnessed with a bill of about $11,000 for a trunk sewer. They would have to as- sume the entine cost because Council and the P.U.C. felt the balance of natepayers should not be made pay for this panticular sewer. Water can be supplied. Coun. Norman Scott moved, seconded by Coun. Fred Cole, that petitioning residents in this anea be advised that: "Public Utilities recommends ta Council (on the advice of their engineer) that the request for a sanitary sewer for the area in question is not practical from an engineering standpoint and thaf the petition is being returned and may be pnesented again by pe- titioners with an altennate plan that is now in the hands of the Public Utilities Commission." Councîl passed the motion Christmas Gifts Made by the Blind On SaleHydro Shop The Lical Committee of the Cg.nadian Institute for the Blind are again holding a sale of articles suitable for Christmas gifts, in the Public Utîlities Building, King St. West, Saturday, Nov. 29 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. They will ihave aprons, key rings, leather beits, leather handbags for wom- en and girls, leather shopping bags, men's wallets, men's sox, chlldren's sox, waste paper bask-. ets, whisks, girls' doll carniages, doîls' cribs, brooms and many ,other articles.

Many articles for sale are made by the blind in this district. 46-1 Hydro Blackouts Short Periods Due to Faulty Transformers Residents of the lower part of Scugog St. were Saturday even- ing subjected to a two hour period of complete blackout when a Hydro transformer failed. Homnes affected by the black- out were those located on Scugog St. between the C.P.R. station and King St. The power shut-off be- gan at 9:45 p.m., but Hydro re- pairmen had things in working order again by il p.m. The failure was the second cut- otf due to a faulty transformer. Last Wednesday the power on King St. from Division St. to On- tanio St. eut out about 5:45 p.m. just as many busy housewives were beginning to prepare supper. Again the Hydro had power flow- ing within a reasonably short time. Remember-Memorial Hospit- al, Bowmanville, needs your help. Send your donation to the Emer- gency Appeal today.
