Meonda yWs No Holiday for Apple Pickers 16 Pages BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1973 15e Per Copy NUMBER 41 Waer çand &imer Sytemn nita le Much Mr Town 's B-uildi*ng Boom Grinds toHW It appears that the housing boom in Bowmanvi lie is grinding taa hait. A report prepared by the consulting f irm of Proctor and Redfern officially confirms the suspicions that the water ýand sewage, treatment facilities in town wîII be able to, handie the population increase in the subdivisions now under construction, but no more. For example, a recent application made by C. J. Vermeulen ta develop 200 housing units in the Waverly Road area has been turned down, by the Planning Board. The reason given for the rejection of the proposai was that ""it is impossible ta enter into any kind of agreement toa a 11w future develop- ment at this ti me due to the capacity of the sewage treatment plant."" No 'New Housing9'È Until Sewage, Water Solvation Army Youngsters' Band Celebrates Thanksgiving While most folks were enjoying the holiday on Monday, there was one éapple orchard and probably many more where piekers were working hard trying to clear off the crop before a deep frost hit the area.
