flooded last spring in the subdivision if the majors statement is cor reel then we will give up pressing for our storm sewers for as tax payeis we cannot uige something which isn t financially s nsible said mi cass however if other projects less important are to be done then we shall feel we are being sold down that river point ing to one of the flood pictures if mr cass followed other mun icipal matters as closely he will remember when we sold our last debentures wc had to raise the in tcrest rates and we were lucky to have a bond firm take them said reeve allen the reeve said council is in the same posijon a householder who can t make improvements to his property if he can t borrow money he stressed there is no political motive in the delay and pointed out several other locations where storm sewers have been delayed children have to wade through puddles on guelph street near wngglesworth school whenever it rains he said and neighbouring properties are flooded as they are at the john victoria corner he mentioned other such situations on elgin street and henry street mr cass pointed that swanek residents have lived with flood conditions for a year and nowhere in town art so many people affec ted as for children wading through water wc sometimes have to bod ily carry our children 800 yards through a flood to start them on their way to school he said cr garfield mcgilvray said he fails to see how anyone could think it a political advantage to hold up a si 000 storm sewer 2 mr mcgil vraj who is finance chairman sa u the bank is calling every few days about the debenture issue and un til il is marketed council can t con sjder issuing any more mr cass expressed his respect for council and appreciation of thc work they do and said his appear ance was prompted by the reports which had reached his ears from many sources i didn t come to accuse council of a delaying action he concluded but mainly to be reassured that finances are the reason for delay ing our sewers requesting town water for a new service station being built near the eastern town limits shell oil co was told that council would permit them to install a water line at their own expense st
