The plans call for a completely new plant, 40 be built just north of the present buildings o and the consultant engineer gave a rough estimate of the cost of this new plant as $150,000. Via The plans were drawn up a e OAT oF the Whitby Pubic Util- ity Commission by W. B. Redfern, the town's consultant engineer, fol- At Evening Service '| tor you will receive value for your lowing a joint meeting last June of the ois the P,UC, and the Board of Health, when the problem of the smell that emanates from the present plant was fully investi- gated and discussed. Noticeable For Some Years This smell, odor, stench, call it what you will, has been a subject for acrimonious argument' over the ast two years at least, and has n brought up in Council regu- larly once a month, At the time of the joint meeting all present made a thorough investigation of the plant and the creek into which it flows, and all were agreed that something should be done about it. The net result of the meeting was the commission of Mr. Red- fern to draw up plans, either for a new plant, or for repairs to the present one which would make its operation more efficient. Tempor- ary measures were also ordered, namely treating the creek water with chlorine, but according to Councillor Joseph Wilson this has made little or no improvement, His house is very close to the point in question and he states that, particularly on warm days, it is im- possible to keep the windows open and still breathe. Will Be Larger The plan calls for a larger plant, one which will handle the expected increase in population in the town, and is desigred so that it can be built around the present plant and use most of the main sewer pipes now laid. Becaus® the sluggishness and winding course of the creek are thought to be the main reasons for the unpleasant stench prevalent in that area, the plans call for the Piping of the effluent down to the ake, At present the effluent flows Jie he creek just beside the sewage nt. Another innovation suggested is that the sprinkler buildings will be open instead of roofed in. Men who were overseas will remember that most of those seen in the United Kingdom were of this type, and during war years one was built in Ajax and is giving satisfactory ser- REV. CHARLES MALCOLM, M.A, Dy Pastor of Whitby United Church, who will be in charge of the evening service tomorrow, when the 120th anniversary of the church will be marked; presentative from the provincial Department of Health was present to discuss the possibility of a joint sewage plant to serve the Ontario Hospital and the town, as new plants are needed in both places. Discussions and investigation showed that the added expense of such an undertaking, due to changes necessary in the town system, and the amount of main sewer needed to unite the two systems, made it uneconomic. The town was advised that it was unlikely that the pro- vince would be willing to bulld & joint plant. At Monday's meeting the Council will discuss the plans presented, and will decide whether it is feas- ible to go ahead with them next year, whether the matter should be voted on at the December polling, or whether it should be postponed cient running of their organization.
