HITT =P ‘During the question period, in answer to a question from the floor, R, C. Maddocks answered charges of mismanagement of wa- fer bylaw 113 made In an ad inser- ted in last week's’ paper by The Committee for Sane Civic Govern- ment, ‘Mr. Maddocks said he was elec- ted to council affer bylaw 113 was brought into being and he was gi- ven the duty of seeing it through, He said that numerous wrongs were discovered in older lines laid before in the village, Some lines had eracks and breaks in them which hed been corrected by coverng them with cement while in some ‘places wooden blocks were inserted in the ends of lines to stop them. ‘He sald a decision had also ‘been made while carrying out bylaw Gcross was to be replaced walth! tran. site pipe, Mr. Maddocks also sald that if the storage tank had been put into operation and the existing lines left in the ground, the Civil Defence would have had to be called in be- cause of what the increased pres- sure would have done to the old lines if they had been left in use, Acting village chairman Aage Sylvest, also in answer to a question. from the floor, defended councit’s policy on the issuing of trades l- ences, a policy he sald was laid down for the most part in the mu- nicipal act. He said that commissioners could not take It upon themselves to be the judge of when a man is qualified to-run a business or prac. tice a trade, He said that only on unanimous vote of council and for @ reason of “moral good” that is defendable in court could » Ucence be fefused. Council could delay and require large bonds, he said, but he could not live with his conscience if this was done, Under pressure from village re- sident G, Hughes about his know- ledge of sanitary conditions in the candidate R. R. Rivers commented: “I am singly, ill-informed on the whole situation, I was approached to stand at a late date.” Prior to the forum meeting, a public meeting on sewerage was held. It took the form of a ques- tion-and-answer- meeting with vil- lage commissioners, the village's engineers, 2 WEHU representative and representatives from the school district and hospital improvement district being available on the stage for questioning.
