SHAUEILAPUAEA LAT VESHOEVOGHUDOAEELHE

For Sewage Plant

A. site near Tulista Park is.
favored by Sidney Alderman W,
W, Gardner for a sewage pump-
ing station and treatment plant.

He made his views known Tues-

day.

The alderman noted that a ree
cent feasibility study.on sewage
treatment facilities to serve Sid-
hey recommended that the least
expensive course would be. to
locate in an area adjacent to the
receiving waters,

The study was conducted by
consulting engineers D.W,

Thompson and Co, at a cost of
$1,800.

The site Ald, Gardner favors
is on the north boundary of the
park,

He rejects the alternate sites
-- one on federal government
property bordering Patricia Bay
Highway and the other north of
Fiith St., both of which would
require a more expensive pres~
sure main, in his opinion,

He said that. it is high time
that council take positive ace
tion by installing a pumping sta-
tion as 4 first phase in the

a —

sewerage treatment program.
According to estimates the cost
of the facility would be $40,000.

Sidney's existing sewerage
system takes use of three out+
falls to channel untreated sev-
erage into the séa. Plans call
for the abandonment of the oute
falls at Rothsey and Weiler
Avenues; the directlon of all
sewage waste to a treatment
plant by gravity and pumping,
and a single outfall at Ocean
Avenue.

Alderman Gardner pointed out
that this location was indicated
as the outfall for Sidney and part
of North Saanich in the Greater
Victoria Sewerage Study of 1966;
also that the study conducted by
Willis, Cliniiffe and Tait agreed
that this area is the best suited
for the treatment of sewage and
discharge to the ocean.

As matters now stand there
have been continual complaints
of sewage backing up at high
tides. ‘The time has come
when Sidney must take positive
action; I personally favor a de-
cision to go ahead with a pump«
Ing station without delay,’

naturally unable to guarantee that

A major concern was the de~
mand which would be made on
the water and sanitation sys~-
tems, Mr. Lawson had made
some plans for trucking in. ex-
tra water and truckingout sewage
from the grandstand septic tank
but they were not without flaws.

“You can only haul away se«

about the groups af people who do
not pay to enter the grandstand

owners of Sandown, and was able
to show proof of a rental agree-
ment by which payment would
be 13°, of the gross gafe re-

In the long run however, the
project was condemned by too
much concern for crowds too big
to cater for or control, for the
possibility of fires, for undes
sirable noise, and for sanitary
and water problems,

Council members voted unan«
imously against the application,
As Mayor Cumming handed down
the verdict. he said “Il admire

HORSE RIDERS. HIT

The night life. of Sidney has

-moved away from the main tho-.
roughfare to the normally peace~..
ful vicinity of Resthaven Drive, .
according to two letters receiv- ~
ed by Sidney. council on Monday: ;

evening.

‘Captain M. D. A. Darling, 10378 is
Resthaven,: invited the attention.
‘of council to the behaviour of two .
young riders who on July 9 at °
entered Resthaven. -

Drive on their: mounts and rode
towards Roberts Bay.

-*¢()ne was mounied on a chest-

nut. picbald, skewbald or pinto ~:
cob, marked with a number of |
“white patches, a well-conditioned

pony, adequately saddled, bridled
and bit-ed,
rode bare-backed on a scrawny
ili-kept bay, minus bridle and bit
and with halter only for se-
curity,’ noted Capt. Darling.

His) complaint was that the
riders put their mounts on the
newly created and seed-sown
boulevard, on which they pounded
at a fast pace.

‘At Ardwell Drive they turned .

around, still on- the boulevard,
with young grass turfs flying in
all directions . .°. . until they
spotted four girls on the op-
posite sidewalk,” related the
correspondent,

The pinto rider was seen to
cross the road, mounting the
sidewalk and blocking the way
to the girls. They tried to pro«
gress by stepping on to the road,
just as number two rider chose
to move across, [le was, how-
ever, driven back by a passing
car,

The girls then turned and walke
ed along the sidewalk with the
pinto hard on their heels. Frus+
trated and obviously scared, they
broke and ran across the lawn
of No. 19395 Resthaven, even-
tually reaching the sanctuary in
the bush at the rear of the
house,

But the riders went after them
across the lawn. losing their
quarreys they galloped back a-
long che boulevard toward Mea.

ling, (‘Having personally seen

“Lack of observance of sane

noted,
