bade young son who mm to page two pleatel vo placed in position the machine shown above travels around the outside of the wall put ting the stress wire in position When the tank has been completely encircled with the wire plaster is laid over thetop of it According to the latest information available work on Barries new $324000 sewage addition is about six weeks ahead of schedule and barring any unforeseen circum stances it is probable that the new plant will be in operation by July instead of the date originally anticipated for its opening Sept This one of the largest projects ever undertaken by the Townof Barrie is designed to take care of the towns evergrowing popula tion and to meet industrial needs Last yearthe town was faced with anorder fromvthe Ontario Department of Health that this town must construct additional sewage facilitiesand that no fur ther subdivisions wouldbe permit lcd until such plant was con tracted for This inelféct would have meant that the growth of Barrie would have come to an absolute stand still if prompt action had not been taken Considerable money had been spent in the past on plans and blueprints but none of these were ever implemented The main argé ument seemed to centre on whe ther to build completely new site or add to the existing facil ities From point of view of expense it would naturally cost more to build at the newsite and it would alsocost much more for its yearly eration as the raw sewage would ve to be pumped much greater distance In addition to this engineers est imated that the present site was large enough to build plant thereon for aeity with popula tion of at least 50000 people There had also beensome crit icism of buildimgsucha large plant on the type of Soilwhich is not too solid in that area but with adequate piling the town has been assured that the new plant will be of as sound constructionwas could be built anywhere The new plant will actuallyhave capacity 8f approximately eight times that of theexisting equip ment so this should net only allow for considerable future groviithof the community but also at the present time it will allow for much longer holding period of the sewageso that jin effect it will give the raw sevlrage partial sec ondary treatment AldermanW Kinzie chair man of the special sewage com iniittee says that the big Question of course will be qu it clean up Kempenfelt Bay and allow bathing to be resumed there He points out do not think anyone at the present time can answer this with absolute surety As long as you have sewage even though it is treated before emptying into the bay you are going tohave some degree of con lamination as no sewage plant built is 100 per cent perfect in its treatment Alderman Kinzie goes on to say The sewage committee certainly will be greatly disappointed if our bay is not theroughly cleaned up although this will take some time gs Kempenfelt Bay is notlike lowing river but more or less dead body ofwater As such some time will have to pass by be fore the water is cleared of the present condition but we do feel certain that our bay will be cleari cd up thoroughly The Keystone Construction Company Windsor are the Con tractors of the new plant and they were also the contractors for the original work Cost ofthe entire sewageplant will be $324000 which includes the consulting engineers fees and even previous plans and engineers fees which were not used When tenders were called on de benturesfor this amount total of eight werereceived All but one of these were above $101 the actual salei going to Equitable Securities for$l0185 which means on the$324000 sale at per cent 1the townrealized close to an extra $6000 which will be applied to the last payment on the plant Commenting on the tenders Alderman Kipzie stated These high bids which we received show ed us that in financial circles Bar rie is regraded as developing both soundly arid with future that can definitely be predicted to go ahead With asewage plant that is both adequate andsufficient for presentgneed aswell as for the of our community future grow we are infla gooddondition to also direction of the minister RevlJ Since the first

of this as we join with the volunteers of the Canadian Ca ncer Society to make the an nual cancer campaign success In universities and hospitals across theland able men and women work tirelessly to

Walter Thomp son Co Ltd Toronto when he ad dressed the oneday retail merch ants conferencc in Community House on Wednesday evening Mr Campbell who is also chair man of the Public Relations Com mittee of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce told his audience that this matter of so many charities was burning hot potato all across Canada The speaker was Introduced by Ralph Snclgrovc president of the local Chamber of Commerce which sponsored the conference the first of its kind to be held in Ontario Thanks to thcSpeaker was proposed by ClIittick Mr Campbell opened his talk by asking whether it would be possible to have some kind of sanity or guidance for what business firms should give to the various charit ies which came along and to see whether it was possible to do some thing in the way of unifying these appeals Pool Community Effort Some years ago in Montreal they had pooled all community efforts into one big appeal sothat the people would not be shelling out for this and for that It seemed to work for couple of years and then it simply stopped working because other organizations outside the consolidated group did not want to be within its frame work feeling that they could do better on their own The whole question of charity drives had been considered by the Toronto Bonrd of Trade and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce to try and find some solution IMr Campbellwent on to say that one firm he lolew had received 14111 appeals during the course of year As result this company had to employ separate staff merely to screen the various char ities and report back on the amount of meney that could be spared for each of them The speaker went on to say that one manwho had studied the econ omic situation of the world had once said Cancer Blill Canvassers For The Womens Hospital
