COUNCIL
DEFERS
DISCUSSION
OF
CHLORINATION
What
may
be
the
final
phase
In
the
long-drawn-out
"battle
of
chlorinatlon"
was
deferred
by
city
council
members
last
night
when
Acting
Mayor
Brett
and
aldermen
tabled
a
letter
from
Provincial
Public
Health
Direc
tor
Dr.
O.
F.
Amyot,
urging
that
the
wartime
water-purification
measure
be
retained
by
the
city
for,
peacetime
use.
1he
aldermen
tabled
the
request
until
the
full
council
could
discuss
it.
Mayor
Daggett
and
Aldermen
Hills
and
Arnold
were
absent
from
last
night's
meeting.
Dr.
Amyot's
letter
said
that,
since
the
war
measure
which
made
chlorinatlon
necessary
U
"sure
to
be
rescinded
in
whole
or
in
part"
and
that
the
federal
government
will
not
carry
on
with
the
cost
of
processing
water
after
"a
certain
date,"-
the
city
should
take
over
the
plan.
"Evidently
they
are
trying
to
put
the
onus
on
the
city
to
operate
the
chlorlnator,"
Acting
Mayor
Brett
commented.
Alderman
Rudderham
moved
that
the
matter
be
tabled
until
It
can
be
considered
by
the
full
council.
"I
have
opposed

In
the

and
may

I

City
Clerk

Mr.

said
that
he
had
been
in

with
the
Wartime

authorities
In
Vancouver
late
Tuesday
after
noon.
I
wrote
Wartime
Housing
in

a
'hot'
letter
and
apparently
the
Toronto
office
got
in
touch
with
Vancouver
immediately.
I
received
a
telephone
message
saying
that
the
company
preferred
to
rent
the
four
vacant
staff
houses
'together
because
they
are
heated
by
a
single
unit,"
Mr.
Thain
said.
The
Crown
company,
however,
would
be
agreeable
to
allowing
the
city
to
take
over
two
of
the
staff
houses
providing
the
other
two
were
given
enough
heat
to
eliminate
the

A

stating
that
the

had
"no

"Rent

"I

by
the
city
as
a
purely
temporary
measure
to
maintain
the

until

are
possible,
has
struck
a
snag
due
to
a
shortage

City
Engineer
E.

told

last

in

the
work
already

will
give
a

for
the
substantial
pro

which
will
get

next

A
major
reason
for
the

the

"However,

are
being

and
we
are
proceeding
with
work
on
other

he
said.
The

is

he
said.
The
city's
new
rock
crusher
is
in

and
the

The

urged
the
purchase
of
an

a

as

as
