THIRTY PAGES Postage in Cash 'asians ga DO CYANIDE IN RIVER A WHITBY (Staff) -- Beaverton Reeve William Gillespie charg- ed in county council here yes- terday that cyanide from a vil- lage industry leaked into the Beaver River, 300 feet from the village water intake. Reeve Gillespie said the cya- nide leaked out of a storage tank into a storm drain and then into the river. He said it occurred about three weeks ago. He stated the company didn't report the leak until 36 hours after it occurred. The Ontario Water Resources Commission, he said, refused to take action against the fac- tory responsible and had ad- HLTA ET nH TES vised him to implement muni- cipal bylaws to prevent the dumping of cyanide. "We had good fishing for a while, all the fish came to the top,' said County Clerk Wil- liam Manning. Health committee chaitman George Brooks of Whitby said the pollution in the Beaver River would be discussed at a committee meeting tonight. But he was not sure, he said, that the problem was within the jur- isdiction of the County Health Unit. In an_ interview today, Reeve Gillespie said he was upset that the company, Bea- nnn ut gomentt verton Specialties, failed to re- port the leak until 36 hours had - passed. He said at least 200 gallons of solution entered the river. He said the OWRC had been informed of the pollution prob- lem arising out of the indus- trial waste disposal 10 years ago. The river flows directly into Lake Simcoe. ° Orville Smith, a spokesman for Beaverton Specialties, said today he had no idea of how much cyanide leaked into the river. The cyanide is contained in a plating solution and stored in 1,200-gallon tanks. "This hasn't happened in the past and we are taking steps LARMS REEVE so that it won't happen again," said Mr. Smith, adding that plastic liners for the tanks would be bought to prevent leakage. Mr. Smith said the. leak occurred at night and he in- formed the water. works super- intendent the next morning. He said his company took a water sample soon after and found no cyanide, while the OWRC did find a small quantity when they took a sample. Reeve Brooks said samples of the water had already been taken by a Health Unit inspece tor and were being analyzed in Toronto. vnunet f ONE MAN KILLED svg tists Stern Curfew Curbs Riots By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Officials in Atlanta, Ga., clamped a stern curfew on six blocks of a riot-torn predomi- nantly Negro neighborhood early today after a Negro man was shot to death and three other persons were wounded by gunfire.
