j04augural meeting of georgetown town council continued from page 1 engaged the engineering ann of hagey gray and flunkett ltd who made a complete survey of the muni cipality and submitted plans and specifications for a modern sewage system at an estimated cost of 127- 00000 it is my intention in the near fu ture to introduce to the members of the council the matter of submitting to the electors for their approval or disapproval those two capital expen ditures not being unmindful of the recent financial difficulties from which the municipality is slowly recovering hav ing in mind the fact that better busi ness and working conditions for home- t owners are in no way assured for the future and realizing that increased taxation would necessitate increased rents to tenants x am convinced that now is the time and place for me to express my considered opinion that it would be unwise to burden reales tate to the extent of one or both of these proposed expenditures and that i am unalterably opposed to such capital expenditure until the present bonded indebtedness has been retired if however the electors by then- votes decide that the necessity for better educational faculties and the need for more convenient and sanitary sewage disposal outweigh the finan cial responsibilities pertaining thereto i shall consider it my duty and the duty of my colleagues in council to see that the workjs commenced with out delay and as efficiently and econ omically as possible i am able today to look back upon eight years of public service to the rftliftnff of one of the best tosms for its size and population in this great province of ontario and bring back many pleasant memories of my asso ciations with members of the council organizations and citizens generally true i have made
