New water system cost ® estimased at A communication from Project Development Div- ision of - Ontario. Water Resources Commission has advised the Village that plans for a new water works . system to augment existing ~facilities are before ' the Commission, and the Village should now be considering ways of raising revenue to pay for the project. Cost of the new well has been estimated at about $100,000, and Reeve Robert Kenny said that no decision $100,000 has yet been made on how to raise the funds. Mr, Kenny said the money could be raised by increasing the rate charged to all water users in the Village, and this would be around $10 annually. 22 He added that with plans for about 70 subdivision units to be built in the near future, the $500 development fee charged by the Village for each unit could be put toward the total cost of the well, He also said that since RENT OR MALREZ@R | (e]0] JB Aha CE LCRARAERERT) B/W ~~ FROM PER MONTH $7.00" $6.00 PER MONTH FREE DELIVERY cau now 859.7447 TRADES WANTED FROM ANNE A QUAN {haves wf of Prayer Those attending the World Day of Prayer March 3rd at Port Perry United Church were reminded that Joy, unlike Pleasure, is not dependant on material well. being.
