Commission Calls Tenders On Sewerage Wiring Project
The Public Utilities Commission urged ten bids for wiring the sewage disposal plant. The meeting noted hydro workers face substantial work before electrical connections can be made. A clerk position remained unfilled, and meter-reading duties revert to regular workers. The panel discussed salary increases but cited heavy construction. Overcharge of $155 to Baxter Laboratories Ltd. was discovered and will be refunded. Other items covered included a London permitting division meeting, a winter freeze protection by-law, and several street and utility upgrades.
