cm 0m How Will Citizens Vote on Sewage Plant Question We are now almost into the last stage of our municipal elections and while there is little doubt that the public eye is focussed on the campaign the main talking point about what is going to take place when we go to the polls centres around just how we should decide on this question of the sewage dis posal plant Despite all the talktherc has been about it it is almost impossible to find one person who can say just what is involved We have seen Council debate the point and we have listened to experts explain the technical and health points of view but it is still baffling proposition However despite all that we have only few more days to decide on whe ther or not we will approve the bylaw which will provide for the selling of debentures to finance the new plant Remember one thing the bylaw does not authorize construction of the plant it merely approves the issuing of the debentures Council have brought it to this state so We must conclude that the proposal met with their favor but so far we have heard very little from any of our candidates for Council as to whether they think we should vote one way or the other When Pioctor of Proctor Redfein and Laughlin consulting engineers Toron to attended meeting of Council some time ago he stated that it was quite impossible for the average person to understand just what was proposed It was highly tech nical subject The undoubted vagueness of the man in the street over the proposal at tests to that contention It is very highly complicated question However it meansu considerable financial burden to the ordin ary ratepayer if it goes through The only logical way to look at it seems to be from the purely personal viewpoint If you have business of your own and are asked to sink large portion of capital into it there is no doubt that youare going to work the whole thing out until you are convinced you have fairly foolproof sotup before you YOu certainly are not going to do it if you are so vasuyabout lilithat you do not even know what is involved We kwr If that Were the only point to the matter however it wouldbe nrelatlvely easy matter to guide theelectors All that would be ne cessary would be to tell you not to let the thing go through At this point though we are faced with the question of how we stand in regard to the Department of Health and there is great deal involved here When Do Berry director sanitary engineering division of the Department ad dressed the meeting which was held in Hill crest School last week he said there was no doubt in his mind that so far as they were concerned there was the need for sewage treatment inBarrie Just how this might affect us can be seen from the letter which recently came to Council from the Simcoe County board of health It stated emphatically that direc tions had been given to the medical officer of healthinot to approve of any new solidi visions for building purposes until the Town of Barrie took some positive action regard lng the correction of such an unsanitary condition as presently exis In other wordsxuntil we stop dumping raw sewage into Kempenfelt Bay That is an extremely serlous ban and at the present tithe we can only wait and see what is likely togdevelop over it Many questions hinge on tannin matumdrthat is indeedilllflsi Will be be correcting the situation if we expand our present

pointer is to what course they should take Council have sat in on this thing and seen it develop Ee ports have been submitted to committees If Council are vague about the situation how can the citizen be expected to make know ledgabl decision unless he is given gutdlt once fr the people who are elected to give this Time to Take Care These are the dark days of the year as winter closes down and the daylight shrinks and weakens For everyone the period is one when extra caution is needed on streets and highways In the early dusk particularly peril awaits the unwary Visibility is oftenpoor at best and falling snow or rain can reduce it still more Overcast weather during October was blamed by Ontario officials as one of the factors in the 132 traffic deaths which made the month that provinces worst on record from the standpoint of the highway toll Al so contributing to the number of fatal acci dents were oxtremely heavy weekend traffic and dangerous driving and walking habits Most winter clothing is dark colored That makes it harder than ever for drivers to spot pedestrians on the highway Elderly persons recently drew special warning from the Toronto Traffic Safety Council after several of them were struck down The council urged the oldsters many of whom it is said move slowly and rely on the motorists alertness and skill to keep them from harm to watch out for cars crossing or turning at intersections and to guard against becoming confused in traffic The experts advise drivers to use chains to increase traction and reduce stopping distances on icy or snowcovered roads They suggest pumping the brakes to slow and stop vehicle on slippery surface rather than jamming them On and risking an uncontrol lable skid It is often possible to wait out snowstorm or freezing rain in preference to battling the elements This Fun by World dont see why she doesnt understand you Mr Iarnsworth think you have 0W 0444 Readers Concerning The Coming Election And Town Council Dec 1952 To the Editor The Barrie Examiner Dear Sir Ever since that loud heading appeared in your paper couple of weeks ago in connection with the threat of the town treas urer to resign haVe been looking in vain for some further light to bepubiishcd on this matter but in vain Im sure that am one of many who expected to be given through your pages much more by way of explanation but apparently the whole attair

Drivers and pedestrians share the respons ibility for preventing accidents at this sea son but those on foot would probably do well to remember the pedestrian usually comes off second best to truck or car if there is mishap However safe driving experts say gthat watching out for persuns crossing streets or roads in bulltup areas and adjusting driving accordingly is the best safeguard against
