2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. June 7, 1978 Duirector Claims Cemetery Water -System Should Have Been Replaced Before Now ,Water lines and pumps at the Bowmanviile Cemetery gave outlast week and the Recreation Director believes council should have replaced the system years ago. Bud Fanining said Friday the water system gave out o:ver the weekend and he and his staff had worked constantly to try and fix it. Finally, they laid temporary plastic pipe to rectify the situation. "The problem began with a short Ini the'pump--we fixed that; then there were stones in the filter--we fixed that; then the taps leaked--we fixed that. On Wednesday night we thought we had it fixed, then there was no pressure; so we dug up different spots. Finally, I said it was costing us too much to have myself, the foreman and two men trying to fix it so we laid the temporary pipe, " said Mr. Fanning. "We've, had problems with it for years and my feeling is that the pumps just aren't strong enough."? Mr. Fanning> said that the cemetery's size was a major factor in the breakdown. "It's a mickey mouse set up", he said, "pumping fromn a creek to a cemetery that size." Mr. Fanning is currently investi- gating running water lines to the south of the cemetery or to highway two as an alternate to using' the creek as the water supply. He and Ted Arends provided water for many of the people using the cemetery by carrying it around in buckets. "We've got to spend more money to get some decent equipment, " said Mr. Fanning. "I feel we should have a better water system than the one we have now. Mr. Arends said the situation was funny at best and the present system should have been replaced 15 years ago. H1e went on to say that the system has just come to the end of its road. No cost has been placed on the replacement work that may be required. The director also stated that hie wa<ted to do a lot of work at the cemetery to try and get it in better shape than it is now. Piannec maintenance there includes fixing the washrooms, gates and fences. with the committee's recommenda- tion to return the lot levies coliected and rescind the original motion for a grant.

Want Salaries Rolled'Back 1Newcastle council has supported a motion from, the Township of Hope calling on the Ontario Minister of Education, Thomas Wells, to rol back the salary increases for administrators recently approved by the Northumberland Newcastle Board of Education. The resolution received unanimous support at Monday's council meeting and will be sent to the minister along with similar resolutions f rom, the other municipalities served by the board. On July 1, the director of education Frank Thom, two board superintendents and three area superintendents will have their salaries increased to $47,000, $42,500 and $40,500 respectively. The township has asked that the 15 other municipalities in the area support the efforts to have the salaries rolled back. According to Bill Carman, Board chairman, it was normal practice for the board to pay its senior officiais at a rate comparable to, those in similar positions across the province.
