Sewage problems causing Bradford to slowly falter
Part of George Jackson fonds
"A meeting which has been scheduled to talk about what is going into Bradford's sewage system has been postponed now until September. It was supposed to be held in July. Principals at the discussion are to include Bradford Council, engineers Proctor and Redfern, representatives of local packing firms and representatives from the Ministry of Environment. Maybe getting that many people together in one place at one time, especially in the summer, is a difficult task to achieve. The meeting was called after town officials learned the industrial waste going into the system was three times as much as it should be."

"Council is very close to engineering a swap with local developer Michael Orsi which could save the town almost $20,000, The Witness learned this week. Mayor Joe Magani presented council with a draft agreement prepared by the developer and submitted for council's consideration. The proposed agreement calls for the town to trade three-quarters of an acre of land at the north end of Dissette Street, and to cancel a $7,500 debt in the developer's name. Mr. Orsi will, in return, undertake to pace an additional 2,000 feet of Dissette Street from Dominion Farms north."

Tribute to a special kind of man - Frederick Christopher Cook editorial
Part of George Jackson fonds
"He was a special kind of man. A ready smile, a razor-sharp wit and a concern for his fellow man.... these were the engaging qualities of Frederick Christopher Cook, town councillor, churchman and fraternal brother. Fred Cook was an unassuming man, who reached out and touched the lives of thousands of people. His dedication to public service as a town councillor will be remembered by the many Bradford ratepayers who came to know him and trust him as a man of honesty and directness. Fred was a warm man, who understood people's problems and did all he could to solve them. Besides his open humbleness, he was a man who was concerned about the future of his community."
