: Liskeard Suburb (Continued from page one) bury is one of the biggest indus- tries in the town, and it has been established here for a long time, last year the pay roll in the Hotel amounted to $48,000.00 all of which remained in the town, yet when the town fathers come to assessing us for the cost of water, they do not take any of this into consideration. There seems to be no standard way of- assessing this major ne- cessity im the town, some of the major users of this service in town are on a flat rate and others are judged on a water meter principle. Garages in particular, which use large quanities of water are on a m™ rate of $10 per month yet we | aes times in excess of $70 per month. Under the present cir- cumstances we can not even per- form a public service such as "washing down the sidewalks or water our lawns to beautify our establishment," he continued, 'We perform public- services to the town such as providing public wash rooms all which consumes a quan- tity of water. I think that all the businesses in town should either be put on one standard or the other, but it should be uniform." Councillor Charley Camsall said, "We have no purisdiction concern- ing the water rates, they are set by the Water Resources Board and we can not alter them, however, we can look into the way in which they are applied and see that they are uniform.' Mr. Timmins continued, "'I read recently in the Haileyburian that Haileybury is the "Prettiest Town in the North', I must disagree with this, and the council is partly to blame. In most other towns the merchants are required to wash or sweep the sidewalks in front of their establishments each day, I think that the main street in Hail- eybury is a disgrace, however, this could be partly attributed to the cost of water in town, but the town fathers should see to it that this is done by each merchant with the help of the town gang.' He also said, "Street signs in various lo- calities have either fallen down, or not been replaced, or should never have been put there in the first place, this is the town's responsibil- ity and they should be alert to this, to prevent accidents." Robert Huard, a Haileybury resi- dent also came to the council meet- ing to fire on the council over the water situation in the town. He said; 'I heard that the town is proposing to construct a new re- servoir system at Constance Lake designed to provide the town with better water services. I live up on top of the Haileybury hill and I have been with water only period- ically since building there, he con- tinued. "If the town were more concerned with instituting a better pumping system in the present set- up then building a new reservoir perhaps we would be better ser- viced. If the present pumping sys- tem cannot even keep the present reservoir full to provide the re- quired pressure, how then do you suppose. that they will be able to keep the new 30,000 gallon reser- voir full? You must remember that since the installation of the present pumps the town has taken in sev- eral industries which are substan- cial water users,' he said. "Not only that, but I do not want to go through another winter like last winter with no water." Mayor Cooke stated, "'We have _ had engineers look into the matter and we are-only following their recommendations, when this new system goes into effect everyone will have at least 60 pounds of - oressure. I promise you that the am will be ready for this fall." -r. Huard inquired why the Con- stance Lake water supply had been shut off and asked would it not be possible for. the Constance Lake supply of water to be diverted into the present reservoir so that at least the town would have tempor- ary water supply while the new system was being built. °C. Camsall answered that the water supply from Constance Lake is not constant enough, it fills and retreats with the weather condi- tions, also that the water although it had been tested as good by the Health authorities, is not satisfac- tory for use and it would be closed ' off again immediately if the Health - Department found that the town Thursday, August 13, 1959 The Haileyburian Page 7 The Weather | Discretion Please!
