AJAX & DISTRICT NEWS John Mills, Representative -- Phone Ajax 426 - Sewage Plant Problem ' Facing Ajax Taxpayers i t {i {i | 4 i AJAX (Times-Gazette Staff Re- porter) -- A second series of water tests of Duffin's Creek and the lake front waters still show a de- gree of pollution. A puzzling fact is that tests at the sewage dis- posal plant outflow are negative, while tests at the mouth of Duffin's Creek show pollution. The answer may be in a report at hand from Mr. Argo of Gove and Storie, consulting engineers, who have been making a study of the sewage disposal plant, and the whole sewer system, existing and required to take care of anticpated expansion in the next few years. REASON CITED Mr. Argo has noted in his re- 'port that the flow of water in Puttin' Creek is sluggish in the lower reaches because it is almost at the level with Lake Ontario and so solids deposited in the creek will + gettle out and become septic. This may be the reason that water tests show polution in this area, while other tests are negative. The whole problem of a better and larger sewage treatment plant has been of major concern to the Board of Trustees, fully cognizant as they are, that, if Ajax is to con- tinue to grow, serviced land must be available for both residential and industrial development. In order that the problem can be approached intelligently, it was necessary to review the existing facilities and obtain expert advice on how best to meet future re- quirements. : REPORT BEING STUDIED The firm of Gore and Storie were engaged for this purpose and their report is now under study by the Board of Trustees. The existing sewage treatment plant was constructed in connection with the munition plant built and operated by Defense Industries Limited during the Second World War. The plant, being designed as a war measure, was arranged to treat in the most economical pos- sible manner the sewage from the poopulation resident at the plant with the expectation that it would be abandoned at the termination of hostilities. Thus the plant was arranged to give only a moderate amount of treatment so that the effluent could be discharged into Duffin's Creek and thence into Lake Ontario without creating a serious nuisance. While the tanks were constructed of perman- ent materials, they were not de- signed to treat sewage to the de- | gree that is normally required in a | peace time community, and so | vv.au NUL De considered a perman- {ent niant. ~ | PRESENT PLAN | 'tne present plant is, located on { the e2-t bank of Duffin's Creek and | consists of two settling tanks, eaca 16 feet wide and 64 feet long navng a total volume of 17,500 cubic feet. The tanks are design- ed to function as septic tanks and the effluent is treated with chlor- ine. After chlorination the effluent is discharged on to sand filter beds having a. combined area of 10,000 Creek, The treatment of sewage in this type of plant is usually limited to single homes or industries or to very small communities, and while this plant did a very serviceable job auring the war years is not square feet and thence to Duffin's. Man Killed For Loot Worth $30 NEW CARLISLE, Que. (CP) -- Tracy Boudreau, 17-year-old la- borer, Tuesday was committed for trial on a charge of murder in the bludgeon-slaying July 23 of Edgar Audet, 45. i Boudreau was remanded to jail pending the jury trial set for the autumn assizes of the Court of Queen's Bench in this Gaspe penin- sula town. At the preliminary hearing the victim's 11-year-old son, Francois, identified Boudreau as the man who entered a co-operative store, slugged his father and then forced him to hand over $30 from a cash | box. Wet Weather Causes Wheat To Head Sprout TORONTO (CP)--Wet weather | suitable for use in a per t and rapidly growing community such as the Improvement District of\ Ajax. RECOMMEND NEW PLANT Gore and Storie do not hesitate to recommend that a new sewage disposal plant be constructed and their report goes into detail on size and type and estimaies the cost at something over $250,000 which is close to previous estimates. It is expected that Central Mort- age and Housing Corporation will et a contract in a week or so for the construction of a new trunk sewer which will bisect the area south of Third Street, and connect to the proposed new plant. This trunk sewer will make it possible to open up a large area across the centre of Ajax for both resi- dential and industrial develop- ment. The construction of the trunk sewer and its laterals will not at- fect the taxpayer in any way as this capital cost is included in the price charged for the serviced land, ut the cost of a new sewage dis- posal plant will have to be met out of taxes. has d wheat in some parts of the province to sprout in the head, the Ontario department of agriculture said Tuesday in its weekly farm report. The condition was particularly prevalent in Simcoe South and Prince Edward counties. In some other sections grain was reported badly lodged but the grain crops generally were reported good. In contrast, yveather in Northern Ontario has been dry and potatoes have suffered in Cochrane North. The grain harvest bas begun in the north and ranges in quality from good to excellent. In Kenora, the hay crop is so heavy that much will not be saved. Heavy rains scattered thyough eastern Ontario have caused some damage. Most crops in Carleton have been flattened and grain is not too well filled. There is rust on much late grain. Yields of wheat in Dundas county vary considerably, with some farmers reporting more than 75 bushels to the acre. Harvesting 'But thieves regularly cleaned out Thieves Dip, Into Kiwanis Wishing Well TORONTO (CP)--The Kingsway Kiwanis Club is wishing at its own wishing well for a stop to penny thievery.

The idea was to drop a penny in and make a wish, the well, so the club fitted an un- derwater grill. The latest thief ripped up the Books Shine On Ceilings In Hospital LONDON, Ont. (CP)--The mono- tonous hours spent by bedridden youngsters staring at the ceiling in War Memorial Children's Hospital here have been broken. Those white squares of acoustic tile are becoming the pages of familiar books. The London Kiwanis Club Tues- day presented a projector and 25 rolls of microfilm to the hospital. The 25 reels are complete copies of books. At the touch of a button a youngster lying flat on his back, unable to lift his head to read as normal children do, can advance the squares of film each of 'which garties a complete page of the book. Projected Books--the name given the new idea--were first introduced in 1940 when thousands of immobile veterans came home to North Am- erica. Today there are more than 750 microfilmed books available for the projector and London Kiwanis, says president V. A. McKillop, is going to keep adding to the chil- dren's hospital supply of filmed books. GOOD NEIGHBOURS ST. GEORGE, Ont. (CP)--When Donald Parkhill was stricken with poliomyelitis the other day, his 35 acres of grain awaited harvesting.
