The meeting brought out that the odour from the
Disposal Plant 1vas a Hydrogen Sulphide odour and that tests in
the past had proven that Collis Leather was the only source of
Hydrogen Sulphide to the sewage system,
Prof. Rolick stated that his advice to Collis Lealther
was that their plant survey be continued in an attem~to discover
if it would.be possible to eliminate any especially obnoxious
liquids., He was: suggesting that Collis Leather Company build
a settling tank large enough to hold effluent for 25% of a day,
this to be ahead of' the mechanically cleaned settling basins
in order to give the town a cleaner effluent. This set up to
be in duplicate so that in the event of' cleaning or any trouble
the section causing the trouble could be shut off. This set
up 1dll eliminate the present earthern holding tank. Chlorine
is to be added in this tank.
Mr. Owram stated that the construction 6f' this set up
i>rould be proceeded with as soon as plans are available:
Mr. Owers suggested that an interim solution might be
to~eatly increase the amount of' the ch~orine being added at
Collis Leather. J;ir. Owram agreed that this would be done.
Deputy Reeve Nisbet brought to Councils attention the matter
of a reques~ to extend the guarantee to five years on the di-
gester. Dorr-Oliver-Long had stated in their letter that a
three year guarantee only is feasible following their inspec-
tion. It was decided that Mr. G.u. Proctor would confirm
this matter by letter recommending the three year guarantee.

in deciding on such a site. His Worship remarked that after
