terloo is now coming in for condemnation as a source of some of the odour which permentes our fair city at cerâ€" tain phases of the moon . . . Of ‘maybe its the sun. * While there are me doubt a aumber of other sources from which unpleasant odours emâ€" inate, there seemes little real excuse any more for a stock farm to be located within the There is still agitation, even among those stores now stayâ€" Jdmg eopen, to close Friday evenâ€" ing during the rest of the sumâ€" J.H.8. â€" STORE HOURS IS stil an lgsue a long ways from being as defunct as it probably shoutd be. Alderman â€" Frank Doerner sys that the farm is the source of â€" considerable smell that wafts over Bridgeport road on a warm summer evening. If thisâ€"is the case, then certainly the odor could be done withâ€" out, even if it meant eliminatâ€" ing the source. We had one store manager tell us today that regardless of what the others do, he is stayâ€" ing open. It is his opinion that the public have done about as much adapting as they are goâ€" ing to and any more fooling eround with hours could easily mean a loss of business. No doubt most shoppers preâ€" fer the downtown section when making their purchases The fact that the selection of goods and store types is complete in the downtown area is drawâ€" ing card enough . . . if they ean get parking space and be assured of some night shop ping. _ _ Even the dieâ€"hard merchants are gradually realizing that night shopping is here to stay. It may enlarge to the point where they will have to get in the swim or it may go no farâ€" ther than at present. Only posâ€" sible excuse for persons shopâ€" ping at places like a Plaza or stores out of town is because there is lots of parking and the stores are open at night. Personally we like to be able to goe in a store and know the person â€" waiting on us Its worth a lot. The same feeling epplies to most shoppers, but bhaving to carry a bag of groceries long distances along a street is putting you in the same class as the horse and buggy. Its also being done less and less, even by those who formerly didn‘t mind doing it Want to bet that one of these days in the near future there won‘t be some kind of curb shopping where you can drive right into ~the store where you want to buy? J.H.S. STARLINGS MUST be givâ€" ing this city a wide birth. We haven‘t had a single complaint so fare this year & haven‘t obâ€" served any real concentration. It never fails to amuse us that other cities haven‘t had the courage to try the same sure fire methods of getting rid of these pests. The so callâ€" ed inventors can come up with all the noises they like, but nothing will have the same effect as the blast from a shotâ€" gur. What about this? Why can‘t there be some enforcement here and stop a condition that does not have to exist. DESPITE NU M EROU S SIGNS, big tractor trailers continue tor use King street and disregard the side street routes laid out for them.

WATER SUPPLY PLAN SUGGESTED BY SCHEIFELE Howard Scheifele, eh’(rmnn of the Waterloo PUC made this suggestion and exploration of its feasibility at last weeks commission meeting. Method Practical Waterloo‘s future w a ter needs may be solved by the creation of natural reservoirs telow the Conestogo Dam which could be tapped in subâ€" terranean areas several mil downstream. KS The area soaks into the ground and filters itself into clear, cold, artesian well water about six to eight miles away at London he said. in London, Ont. where the Fanshaw Dam spills into an 80,000,000 â€" gallon "natural spill area," he said. This method of water supâ€" ply has proved to be practical Extensive tests would have to be made by qualified geoâ€" Ilcgists to see if such a method would be practical here the chatrman samid. The Biggest Little Show on ECONOMY MAY KEEP WATERLOO IN BLUE Waterloo hopes to finish year without deficit however, ‘prudent economy‘ must be exâ€" ercised to balance budget If "prudent economy" is exâ€" ercised and expenditures are made only where money has been providd in the budget Waterloo will end 1956 "on the right side of the budget." D. ‘C. Schaefer, city treaâ€" surer, made this â€" statement Monday in his semiâ€"annual reâ€" port onâ€" Waterloo‘s economic picture. only two council committees have overspent their budgets. "But the general picture is pretty good," he said. Only Two Overspend The city and industrial deâ€" velopment and board of works committees are the only two groups which have overspent their budgets for the first six months. © The item "industrial deâ€" velopment" is $4,491.85 overâ€" spent,. This overexpenditure Un due "to council‘s decision to supply fill for the General Inâ€" struments, Ltd and Carter Brothers said Mr. Schaefer, Mr. Schaefer said the Kâ€"W and Suburban ‘Board charges to the city may exceed the budget item of $2,000, dependâ€" ing on the amount of land to be purchased by that board. All board of works committâ€" ee items appear to be in line with the exception of snow reâ€" moval and salting costs. Of the $8,000 set aside for snow removal, $5,294 has so far been spent. > Mr. Schaefer predicted the sewer ard sanitation committâ€" Out of $8,000 budgeted for the city and industrialâ€"developâ€" ment and board of works comâ€" mittees all but $30.60 of that amount has been spent. Both firms are in the proâ€" cess of greatly expanding their facilities. He said the water from the spill area at Fanshaw takes six months to filter itseHf through natural processes beâ€" fore it reaches London ‘‘They get the cold Winter water in the summer time and the warm summer water in the winter." he said. Urges Trip To See Mr. Scheifele urged commisâ€" sioners to take a trip with him r the near future to Fanshaw to view the entire setup. "It‘s well worth your while to see what can be done," he said. Mr. Scheifele pointed out that if Waterloo needed waâ€" ter at any time, the Ontario Water Resources Commission would build and pay for the necessary facilities and the commission could pay on an annual basis. ‘"But if we can develop toâ€" ward something khe that curâ€" Mr â€" Schaefer said to date se will exceed its budget "by a considerable amount". beâ€" cause of forthcoming repairs to the city‘s No 1 sewage lift Mtr. Schaefer, touching on anticipated revenues for the year, said the city is experâ€" rencing a marked decrease in the amount of revenue from fines. : â€" The â€"city property and fire Â¥nd light.committees are well within their budgets and the traffic and transportation comâ€" mittee is within its allotment on all items with the excepâ€" tion of street lights. The city originally hoped to collect about $10,000 in genâ€" eral fines this year and so far the figure is $2,784.74. Mr. Schaefer said a total of $469 has been collected in traffice violation fines for the first six months. The anticipatâ€" ed figure for the year has been set at $1,200. Referred a bill for $65.50 for excavating a â€" drainage trench and levelling the lot of Imperial Refractories and Equipment, Ltd., to the city solicitor.

Ratepayers Object When the neighbourhood raised objections against the first site, the Cope company took out a building permit on another nearby lot. The lot is on the northeast corner of Dearborn and Regina streets Delegation speaker, Alan Head, 200 King St. North, said the ratepayers would noe# oppose the building on the second site.

Council May Ask New Sewage Plant Recently the commission was given the right to build and maintain plants throughout the province Councillors will attempt te strike a rate, at the meeting which would be a benefit to Waterloo. By paying such 2 rate Waterloo taxpayers may save over operation of the existing unit. Ald. James Bauer said the commission could pay for engineering, c o ns tru ction, financing and operation of a plant. It makes money by charâ€" ging municipalitiee for the amount of sewage processed. Ald.
