It was claimed that no case had been traced to it. There was no guaran- tee that this would continue. This water was extremely susceptible to the propagation of bacilli.

Health was most. important to all of us. Municipali- personal one, but it was afact that the discharge from R. M.

No one had any intentional interfering with that business. it was a valuable indus- try, but it it came to distinguishâ€" ing betWeenv the interests of the ci- tizens and those of Mr. Bea! the discharge from theztannery into the river would have to cease.

The Water Commission- ers were not Wedded to Scugog Wa- tcr nor to artesinn wells. Artesvian well water was simply filtered water. What assurance had we of a supply from. artcsian wells”? They had proved a failure in Ontario. We had an abundant supply in the Scugog. The cost'ol pipinngas the.same in one case as in the other. The Com- missioners asked the ratepayers it they thought it wise to sanction the expenditure. Mr. R.

Mr. Flavelle, continuing..said that the Commission would put in no more hydrants without receiving «a revenue from them. He would reicr to another matter.

The comâ€" missioners had .given the matter con- sideration. They wrote to every town having them. With one excep- tion the reply was that they were afraid of the supply.
