SOMETIMES it makes sense to

borrow money fo save money.

Taking advantage of the Pacific

Northern Gas financing plan to =

convert your home heating system to ,

natural gas from more expensive

fuels is one smart way to borrow -

especially now that PNG's interest

rate is only 8.5%.

PNG will loan up to $3500 OAC to

qualified customers who are

converting fo natural gas or adding

natural gas appliances, fireplaces,

hot water tanks or any other energy

efficient, convenient natural gas .

appliance -- or up to $1600 for customers who convert their vehicles to run

on natural gas.

No down payment is required, and loans can be paid off at any time without

penalty.

THE PROBLEM —
MOVES UP.

Bobsien Crescent... Dairy
Avenue: Soon it may be difficult
to tell the difference between the
two when it comes to the need for
a neighbourhood sewage disposal
system. 7

On April 19, 1990, a letter
containing the names of all but
one of the people who live on
Dairy Ave. was sent to the city
requesting a connection to the city
sewage system. The residents
asked for individual cost esti-
mates and "a plan or timing of
when this project could be done".
And in closing, stated, "Given the
drainage problem in this area and
the age of the septic systems,
prompt action is required."

On Feb. 12, 1992, another
letter was mailed to the city with
a list of names of Dairy Ave. resi-
dents wanting a city sewage con-
nection. The letter, signed by
Evan Blanco, states in part: "For
the past three years I have had
problems with my septic backing
up and also backing up into the
crawl space through seepage from
the perimeter drains. In talking

_ with my neighbours, I have found

out that just about everyone has
dug up their septic systems and
had them redone.

"Not only are the soil and
basements receiving contamina-
tion, but it appears that the satu-
ration level is so high that there
is not an area left on the lots of
the individual owners to put a
new system in.., This is a serious
concern to all of the residents and
it is our belief that something
needs to be done this year before
some of the children who play

near these ditches contract some

disease.”

Blanco’s letter went to city
council, who referred it to the
Planning and Public Works Com-
mittee, and now the matter has
been turned over to the Ministry
