4 w Oct Of Cents and Steel PIm To Start Now Auroras New Disposal Plant Aurora District Disappointment for Aurora leaders came on this week with postponement six months on the start of an to Aurora sewage plant The sewage odors about which north end residents have complained were to have eliminated by July by the new disposal plant The construction of the new addition cannot start this fall only one tender was at hand on Monday Nine firms had been estimating on the job- As a result council members took the advice of consulting en gineer Don and cancel led the call for the present In midDecember the job will be readvertised and tenders in for January 20 That will place the effective completion of the plant at the end of instead of October estimates to months work The reason there were no ten- this week lies in the short ages of both cement and steel The cement shortage has been building up through the summer and fall season According to Mr the steel for rein forcing is at present on a four- months delivery basis for Cana dian steel and six weeks if pre miumprice US steel is used Aurora council decided to re turn the one bid received from a Hamilton firm unopened with advice that the construction bids will be called again later in the year Regardless of the price I do not think there should be any award under the circumstan ces Mr advised The reason is that in the past month even more in the past two weeks the situation of supply of cement and steel has very much wors ened Members of the council obeyed the induction of Mayor Dr Hen derson to not let our disappoint ment run away with this but to postpone it for a month and see if we cannot get more bids There was a discussion regarding the best lime of year to ask again for bids A motion by Council

Idea Of Paying Part industry Services A decision of the planning com mittee of Aurora town council at Mondays meeting was oppos ed to the town paying any part of the cost of sewers walks and roadways for industrial develop ments The future industrial de velopment must go with new subdivision growth paralleling the construction of residential homes Assessment value for commercial or industrialused land must equal the assessment on new subdivision homes as a part of Aurora councils policy Two weeks ago the spokes man for a proposed subdivision asked that the town as a whole share in the cost of services such as a trunk sewer and trunk wa ter mains to an industry Such services are included in the town enforced subdividers agreement At the time arguments were put forward that Aurora should he willing to go part in paying the cost of services for any such Industrial plant or commercial building Most of the council members at that meeting agreed that it was not fair for the sub- divider to pay through local im provement taxation the full cost of servicing an industry which will help balance the towns as sessment structure The matter was referred to a secret meeting of Aurora council in committee of the whole last Wednesday for discussion No thing is known by the public about contrary reasons but the end result opposing the sugges tion was again in front of this weeks public meeting of Councillor Child chairman of the committee reported that the policy of installation of ser vices to new industrial subdivi sion areas roads and sewers etc be under local improve ment agreement and charged against the property The re port was adopted unanimously Aurora Starts Bytaw For Plumbing Inspection After having changed from be ing politely sceptical to the stage where every member was in fa vor Aurora town council on Monday this week passed first reading of Plumbing In spection bylaw When the remaining readings are given the town will join the other municipalities which arc serviced

adviser in educating plumbers to have their work in accord with stand ards of the Ontario Plumbing Code The only municipalities now without the plumbing inspection under a municipal bylaw are King and

discussion and decision about getting an artesian well WOO supply with an examination of facts about building storage res ervoir That was decided as the council members accepted the idea that failure to locate a well which cart be pumped for the anticipated needs meant a new approach to find a solution Twice in recent weeks Reeve Murray reported to the council that drilling efforts to find a pumping well had run Into an artesian flow Both were of small proportions and both were I capped off or plugged by the drillers for the International Wa- Supply Co One he men- was at the site called

the C tracks Reeve Murray head of the fire and water committee earlier re ported he had secured permission from the Province of Ontario to drill on the highways depart ment land the subway and street Again at last weeks meeting he urged the council to further investigate that site before giving up the Idea of a pump well in favor of building a reservoir for Auroras future needs Councillor Davidson urged with Mayor Henderson that the matter of a sufficient water supply bo given Immediate pri ority rather than left to the council Councillor Stod- on the other hand felt that an enlargement of the
