"We have three large programs of works before us. It is quite
obvious that the practice of the past of putting five year single
purpose By-laws to the electorate is totally impractical. It will
only be by co-operation of all concerned that a reasonable start can
be made on each of them. The most practical approach is to place a
two year program before the electors on 20 November and a further one
in 1979 and every two years thereafter. The first By-law should be

stretched to three years or, alternatively, the works nay be con
structed in the first two and in the third year, no work undertaken.
At the same time, a. close watch must be taken of pur economy to
ensure that debt charges that may be incurred can safely be taken on.
If Council determines that this By-law is to be placed before the electors
this year, the first three readings of the referendum should take place
on 13 September to permit time enough to carry out the necessary pro
cedures before the date of the election."
1. The program of works totalling $16,360,000.00 outlined on Page 8
be considered by Council for inclusion in a composite referendum
for submission to the electors on 20 November 1976;

program;
3. Subject to the economic situation prevailing in the Municipality in
the year 1979, a further composite referendum be considered for
submission to the electors in November of that year; and
