A meeting between council and the Ontario Water Resources Commissibn, left council a choice in a decision. They could save money now by deleting cer- tain items (which would mean another addition within a few years) or they could accept the recommendations p r e s e n t e d (which would be good until 1982). Mayor Paleczny, upon opening discussions, stated that when the tenders had been opened, the lowest was for 31.156.892.50.
