plans of delrex developments for construction of 582 houses okay ed by the town council on prop perty adjacent to the sykes tool plant and led to charges laid against the company by building inspector joseph gibbons for al leged infringement of the build ing bylaw on may 30th need for the new disposal plant was recognized by the ontario municipal board at a public hearing held in town but until last week no okay had been given to the town for financing the estimated 830000 cost on monday council was informed by the board that approval would be given to go ahead with the pro viso that the cost not exceed 830000 that delrex post a 147- 000 bond this money to be ap plied directly to the capital cost of the plant and that no further capital debt be incurred by the town other than for waterworks and hydro until 1961 the board in its letter pointed out that addition of sewage deben ture debt plus the towns share i nigh school debentures i i bring georgetowns deben- ebt to 28 which it con- aiders prohibitive to any further bond issues meanwhile the building inspec tor has withheld permits for building on the newlyreleased area with the backing of the county health unit which in a letter to the town clerk on june 30th advised that plumbing per mits should not be issued until the health unit is given some guarantee that the system would be completed by the time houses are
