$5000$10000 cost to repair sewer line By PETER DEPODESTA Examiner Staff Reporter broken sanitary sewer will cost taxpayers between $5000 and $10000 to repair says Neil Fox public works superin tendent Mr Fox told the public works committee the sewer serving the Contintental Inn on Dunlop Street broke last Thursday He said the public works department spent the weekend trying to repair the damage but was unsuccessful The main problem he said is that the water table is only five feet from the surface and the pipe is 25 feet underground As soon as workers got near the pipe fine sand in the soil started filling the hole Mr Fox said the city can replace about 100 feet of sewer at cost of $7500 to $10000 or hook the hotel into trunk sanitary sewer on Dunlop Street for about $5000 The inn is operating on special line running south parallel to Highway 400 and crossing at John Street ex tended The line was built in 1962 before the Dunlop trunk sewer and includes pumping station If the city connects the hotel to the Dunlop Street sewer he said the cost will be about $5000 There is no main tenance fee Mr Fox said there is one problem the sewer lines in the hotel car port and basement washrooms feed the wrong way small pump may be needed to move waste against the gravity flow to the trunk sewer Mr Fox said there is no problem with llution as the sewer is not un er pressure He explained that when sanitary sewer breaks usually the pipe fills with soil and backs up The public works depart ment he said simply takes the waste material from one man hole and pumps it to another man hole using aboveground plastic pipes In The Courts Four youths appeared in provincial court Tuesday charged in connection with breakin Sept 21 at the Angus Lions Hall All pleaded guilty Judge John

IMPORTANT Malcolm Brown 17 of Barrie learned that court fine is more important than his car He pleaded guilty to creating disturbance but told Judge Anjo the only reason he was disturbing anyone was

meant spending full day in court for thetrial Crown attorney Tom Cleary said the facts of the case as ex plained to him by the police did not indicate Brown was pushed around He said police thought Brown was drunk If they thought was drunk watit to know why When they threw me in jail they didnt take test to see if was drunk Brown shouted at the Crown attorney Plead not guilty and shut up snapped

entitled to The effort called operation service has been scheduled in honor of the legions 50th an niversary Bob Duncan president of Branch 147 in Barrie said Tuesday local legionnaires will begin

vivingdependents GEORGE HARPER president of the left Barrie Huronia Rotary Club chats with Police Chief Earl Snider Chief Snider spoke to the clubs weekly meeting Tuesday at the Continental Inn The meeting was the clubs second since receiv ing its charter Sept 23 It now has 25 members Ex aminer Photo Chief blames morals for police problems By JOHN WROE Examiner Staff Reporter Prison is laugh Barrie Police Chief Earl Snider told the Huronia Rotary Club Tuesday Responding to questions from club members Chief Snider said that prison wasnt having the desired effect on offenders as they go on strike if the con ditions arent what they like Take the protest in the Barrie jail he said think its common knowledge that members of our force went to help the jail officials The prisoners had probably bcen watching television reports of prisoners strikes in Vancouver and Montreal so decided they could do it too The deputy and went over and told them that if they didnt go back in the jail wed drag them in They didnt move so we began dragging them in When we started on one the others got up and followed Then they presented us with some demands but didnt listen Chief Snider laid no blame for prison problems on jail workers He said he sym pathized with their position and the fact that they couldnt lay hand on inmates without gettingintotroublc You wouldnt get me working behind bars for any pay he said RELATED TO MORALS Chief Snider said problems in prisons and problems in police work in general are related to general liberalization of societys morals He said there seems to be lack of integrity people are thinking that thcft doesnt matter as long as they arent caught The pendulum has swung too far to the left he said Its got to start swinging back KNOW PEOPLE Cheif Snider told the 50 club members and guests that one of the ways for police depart ment to work better with the community is for the policemen to know the people they deal with With that in mind he said the Barrie Department has zone patrol system which keeps the same officers in the same area of the city He said that such system produces definite drop in crime because the policemen know the people and can work with them more easily Technology such as the use of squad cars tends to lessen the contact with the individuals in society Instead of spending time knowing the people on the beat officers ended up respon ding to central dispatcher and becoming incident oriented And prooccupation with crime rates and statistics has led to arrest quotas formal or informal he said It is becoming apparent that informal quotas brought on by peer pressure within the police department are not un common he said When such quotas are found they should bediscouraged Chief Snider said that in an attempt to cut down on crime among juveniles he was star ting Youth Bureau with Con stable Gary Logan in charge He said the Bureau would try to cut down on crime among juveniles the major problem arm for the police depart ment Juveniles seem to be getting into crime because of poor home life he said It is our resixinsibility as parents to en sure that our own homes are in order THE BARRIE CONCERT Bands
