The surplus in the water de- partment had been $10,000 and this bad also been re-invested in capital expenditure. There has been some citîcism o! the sewere rental system. This is designed only to handle the $12,800 in debentures issued to pa.y for the trunk sewer and the disposai system, he stated. Under this system, he said, there is no charge to people with septic tanks flot using th2 sewer system. There may bc some hardship, in that it ç1oes not differentiate between the itumber o! people in a house, but he pointed out that there is alway's some hardship in aîxy formm of taxatipn.. In. answer to a question by Norman J. Scott he stated tlmt the debenttires will be paid off under the sewcr rentai system by 1969, but adcied that if the town continues to 'grow it will1 probably be necessary*to add 'o the sewer system and thus1 issue more debentures.

"There is no reason for the present holes in the streets in the subdivisions. The de- partient has been putting sand in the holes and it has been washing down thé sew- ers"~, he declared. #Ir.
