Water use dispute sequel discussed at regular session
Sequel to last month's argument with Glenlea subdividers was added in the regular session as water billing disputes were resolved. The commission rescinded the previous motion to equalize charges and ordered consumption billed at normal rates. An agreement between consumers and subdividers is to be pursued with information forwarded to Beardmore Co. A roof leak at the disposal plant was noted and a resignation led to a job posting for a shine man. A $855 bid from J B Mackenzie and Sons Ltd was accepted to extend the hydro shed and a used post hole digger was approved for $250.

County rescinds motion to set up North Halton High area fact finding
Halton County council voted 12 to 4 to rescind a plan for a northern area fact finding committee on the North Halton High School issue. Reeve A Service and others argued the findings would rest with municipalities and the county, not the board, while opponents claimed the move could create hardship and be driven by motives to keep the area unchanged. The matter was referred back as resolutions from Acton Nassagaweya and Esquesing opposed the measure.
