Population Slsrows Increase, Council- is "Toed - A population increase of 288 in Perth County was reported by County Assessor A. A. MacDou- gald, MIMA. in his annual report Tuesday. morning to Perth County Council. The county includes 11 rural townships and the urban cen- tres of Mitchell, Listowel and Mil- verton, but does not include Strat- ford or the separated town of St. Marys. Council opened its first summer session Tuesday morning. Perth's population, on the basis of the latest assessment figures, is now 30,400,•up from 30,112 reported a year ago, Mr. MacDougald said. Gains in population were shown by Listowel, Milverton and the town- ships of Ellice, Hibbert, Logan, Mornington and Wallace. Small de- creases were shown in Mitchell, and in the townships of Blanshard, Downie, North Easthope, South Easthope, Elma and Fullarton. Every one of the 14 municipali- ties an 'Perth showed a gain in the assessed value of real estate and businessds, Mr. MacDougald noted. Greatest gains were in Mitchell, where it is up $50,025 and in North Easthope where it is up $46,679. Total assessment of the county is up $315,700 from $37,127,100 last year, to $47,442,8004 this year. Council approved.the 1960 assess- ment as reported by Mr. MacDou- gald, as the provisional basis for next year's tax levy. Some adjust- ments may he necessary, Mr. Mc- Donald -explained, because new On- tario legislation requires that the figures on which county levies are based, should include the value of tax-free property owned by the Ontario or Dominion government, on which grants in lieu of taxes are paid. Assessment totals reported for the 14 municipalities, as the pro- visional basis for the 1961 county levy, are: Elma, $4,240,100; down - ie, 43,199,600; Logan, $3,175,800; Ellice, $3,064,400; Mornington, $3,- 053,900; Listowel, $2,937,200; Wal- lace, $2,914,800; North Easthope, $2,674,300; Blanshard, $2,636,2004 Hibbert, $2,423,100; Fuilarton, $2,- 309,500; Mitchell, $2,049,700; South Easthope, $1,691.600; Milverton, $1,072,600. Advice was received by council hat the assistance given by .the Ontario and Dominion governments toward compensation for animals estroyed because of rabies, will top at the end of this month. Rabies compensation is. being paid by the county, bat the two higher Levels of government have each contributed 40 per cent of the amounts paid, leaving, the coun- ty's net share at 20 per cent.

The plan was first advocated in September, 1957, but met with resistance by some bri- gades and certain municipalities. The meeting this week, held in an effort to get the proposal under way, revealed there continued to be strong resistance, centred main- ly in Wingham and Clinton. Attending the meeting .. were chiefs, members of brigades and municipal officials. Representing the fire marshal's office were F. C. Anderson and S. Sydingham. Chief John F. Scott, of Seaforth, who three years ago was appoint- ed by order -in -council as co-ordin- ator for ,Huron, was chairman. The plan envisages a co-ordinat- ed.-firefighting unit embracing the entire county. Including the fire- fighting units of 13 municipalities 1n the county, the force would - be similar to that already established in Perth and 30 other Ontario counties. Mutual aid plays a, ma- jor role in peace time, the meet- ing was told, as well as being the Past Presidents Will Head Teams Two past presidents of Seaforth Agricultural Society will lead rival teams in an -upcoming sports -laugh- ter event. Russell T. Bolton, Mc- Killop, and Arthur Nicholson, of Tuekersmith, are busily hunting up players to participate in Donkey Baseball. The special ball game will take place at Seaforth Lions Park, un- der the floodlights, on Saturday, June 25. Committees were named at a meeting of the society Thursday night. The grounds committee will be R. W. Campbell, chairman, J. M. Scott, R, E. McMillan, Allan Campbell, Russell T. Bolton, Gor- dan Papple, Harold Pryce and Scott Cluff. Ticket sales will be in charge of John A. Cardno, Earl McSpadden and R. James Wallace, and advertising in charge of Mr. Wallace. Many changes and revisions have been made in the prize lists this year. The changes are almost all completed, and prize Lists - should be available in late July. P.U.C. Considers Main Replacement Routine business was completed at a short meeting of the Public Utility Commission Thursday af- ternoon, attended by Chairman F. Kling and Commissioner D. Sills. Consideration was given to the necessity of replacing certain w•a- ter lines to provide increased ca= parity but no decision was reach- ed pending further information basis of a civil defence organiza- tion. in. the event of hostilities. Under a civil defence, divisjpn of the province, Huron is in. Region Three, which also includes. Water- loo, Perth, Huron Bruce and Grey. All counties in the region are or- ganized, except Huron. Municipalities represented at the. meeting here were Bayfield, Blyth, Exeter, Brucefield, Brussels, Clin- ton, Ethel, Goderich, Hensall, Sea - forth and Wingham. Opposition to the mutual plan centered about the lack of re- muneration, Chief .Scott said. While , some municipalities had gone , 4ahead following the 1957 meeting • and had adopted enabling by-Iaws, others had taken no action. • Discussing the plan, departmen- tal speakers pointed out that the advantages of the mutual aid plan were that time delays which re- sulted while brigades obtained permission to answer calls in neighboring municipalities, were eliminated. This Ioss of time .4n arriving at a fire frequently meant that the fire got out of hand and the brigsde was away[onger than otherwise would haw -`been --the— case. -thecase. A second advantage was a stan- dard system of hose coupling . at 21 inches. Until eight years ago there had been 103 different sizes, which meant that many .brigades were unable to operate in other than their. own centres. No cost is involved, other than the main- tenance of the local apparatus. Approval of each municipality is required since the essence of the mutual aid plan is that the local chief be empowered to remove apparatus for assistance under a pre -arranged plan on instruction from the county co-ordinator. While the meeting reached no firm conclusion, Chief Scott said plans were already under way for a further discussion, in the hope that mutual aid could be brought into effect at ap early date.

The argument cooled off finally when the school board decided that an oil system would be best, after it had taken the side favoring elec- trical heating, as recommended by the architect. Council approved construction of the new school, and met again Tuesday to give the third reading to an $85,000 debenture issue for the school, The council maintained the elec- trical heating system had not been tested long enough in other schools to be installed in the Brussels school, Noon Tuesday was the deadline for accepting the tenders for construction.
