nus nay Water may be harmful to bottlefed infants High nitrate content in about 20 percent of wells tested by Simcoe County District Health Unit in Angus and the surrounding area may be harmful to bottlefed babies under Six months old says Dr Peter Watson chief medical officer for the unit In babies fed bottle formulas containing the local water nitrates can interfere with hemoglobin meaning their blood will not transfer oxygen as it should he explained The unit has warned people whose well water has been found to contain high per centage of nitrates Dr Watson said Angus does not have muniCipaI water supply system Area prenatal classes have also been contacted by the unit to inform expectant parents of the care needed Dr Watson advises water used for baby formulas should be obtained from other sources Adults seem to be able to take higher amounts of nitrate Breastfed infants are not affected and it doesnt harm the unborn he said The only danger is to babies under six months old fed by bottle High nitrate content develops in the soil from waste products decomposing vegetable matter and septic systems and can filter down 20 to 30 feet to the water supply he said Surveys conducted in 1974 and again this year show the high nitrate content has not changed over three years In Angus and surrounding area 34 wells were tested Dr Watson added although nitrate levels high the water has bacterial count that are low OMB must bless plans for new civic centre The Ontario Municipal Board 0MB doesnt turn down all applications for money to build new city halls and swimming pools But when considering ap plications for money for such projects the board hasnt forgotten Ontario treasurer Darcy McKeoughs request to cut back on the frills in municipalities capital ex penditures 0MB vicechairman Colbourne made the statement in letter to city clerk Ben Straughan dated May The city asked for the boards comments on applications for capital funds to build new city halls last month at the request of AM Ross Stephens The 0318 controls Barries capital expenditures through its power to approve all municipal borrowing The city has set aside about million for construction of new city hall in its fiveyear capital budget approved by city council in February However the capital budget does not represent money thc city has on hand It must be borrowed through debentures subject to ONE approval The board must approve both the capital budget and in dividual debentures for specific projects The boards decision is based on whether the municipality needs the project it wants the money for and its ability to pay off the debt without unduly burdening its taxpayers Herb Kirk city treasurer said the OMB sets limit on the amount of money municipality can borrow But the board doesnt tell the municipality what that limit is or how it is calculated he said Barries $55 million civic centre will if built be located in Mulcasterollicr streets area Toronto
