PHONE 47 Seaforth DELAY RATE DECISION TILL SCHOOL (Continued from Page 1) pointed out that the county would handle all the details from curb to curb and bill the town with a share. The PUC have been asked to move back the street lighting be- hind the sidewalk. The plan will work in with PUC and Bell Tele- phone plans for rear distribution, and would leave only the lighting circuits to be moved, the mayor said. The county will pave 22 feet and keep up 26 feet, but councillors said at present, North Main Street is only 18 to 20 feet wide. The engineer suggested properly con- touring the road, although nothing will be done with the sidewalks at present. This work could be done at a later date, council agreed. Mayor Daly said the en- gineer intimated that if the work was scheduled right, the bill would come in late enough in the year that payment could be spread over two years. The mayor pointed out that the municipality was eligible for about a 50 per cent grant on the work. Work on a proposed sidewalk on the south side along Goderich, StreetEast was mulled over by council. It was felt the town could do all the work now, utilizing the new loader. The sidewalk would start at Coleman Street and run to the Lions Park. Check Properties Chairman of the property com- mittee, Councillor Neil Bell, in- formed the group that the wall at the old shoe factory, where the trucks back in, is broken in need of repair. The damage apparently happened before Topnotch Feeds started renting the building, he said. A request was received by the property committee for repairs to the fence along the approach to the dump. The property is being rented from the Christie Estate, and will be used to pasture cat- tle,.Mr. Bell said. Mr. Bell inquir- ed as to whether or not the fix- ing of the fence was up„ to the town. Clerk D. H. Wilson said that the road originally belonged to the Township of Tuckersmith as an entrance to their gravel pit. The town took the road over a number of years ago. It is not ac- tually a public roadway, the clerk said; but a private one. Mayor Daly asked the committee to look into the town's responsibility. Cntinuing his report, Councillor Bell said the dump was in need of bulldozing again. He pointed out that $80 or more had been spent in bulldozing since he llad been on council. He felt that now was the time to consider garbage col- lection, and then it would be pos- sible to make it a closed dump, open only to the person operating the collection. He pointed out an instance where a car was pulled into the dump and left. On investigation, it was found that there were nine such cars in the dump. An auto wrecker from Clinton was called in and burned the bodies and re- moved the vehicles. Mayor Daly asked the commit- tee to .investigate the matter of collection fully, and get some con- crete figures to go on, then council would further discuss the matter. The police brt, read by May- or Daly, sho d major overhaul work on the town uiser. The work was carried out wh ouncil de- cided not to consider a new car this year. He felt that the work, which included new tires, wheel balancing and alignment, shocks, steering, etc., put the car in rea- sonable shape. The work amount- ed to $264.27. The industrial committee had nothing to report, the chairman, Councillor Nelson Cardno, said. The parks committee, under Cotm- Notice to Parents The Month of May Brings Firecracker Day HOWEVER - - - Owing to the large number of fires and children being burnt while playing with firecrackers without supervision, it has become necessary to limit the setting off of firecrackers to one day — MONDAY, THE 22nd OF MAY. A POLICE AND FIRE ORDER Please Observe! .No Firecrackers May Be Let Off on the Streets Should a fire result at any time, and it is necessary to turn in an alarm, PHONE 100, and advise location and details of the fire. It has been noted that children gather near the Fire Hall when an alarm is sounded. In order that no accidents may occur, please warn your children to stay clear of fire truck doors. SEAFORTH FIRE BRIGADE JOHN F. SCOTT, Chief SEAFORTH POLICE DEPARTMENT ELMER HUTCHIIVSON, Chief cillor Carl Dalton, reported some trimming and cleaning up. Press OWRC on Sewage Dr. J. O. Turnbull, chairman of the sewage committee, told coun- cil of two meetings, one with the OWRC in Toronto, and one with CMHC' in Kitchener. Both he and the Mayor, who attended the meet- ings, said the OWRC seemed to be taking a little more interest, but that a man from that office was to come up, but as yet hadn't ap- peared. The OWRC are interested in the plan around the outside of town, Councillor Turnbull said, down to the present plant. He told council that if the OWRC suggested a lagoon or force main, the council should accept it. Council was told that because of the work on North Main Street, it might be advisable to change and do that street first, instead of Goderich Street. Robert E. McMillan, president of Seaforth Agricultural Society, and Cliff Broadfoot appeared before council asking for the usual grant to that society. A grant of $400 was made. At the same time a grant of $500 was made to Sea - forth Lions Club for the operation of Lions Park, following a writ- ten request. A petition of Seaforth merch- ants, received through the Cham- ber of Commerce, was referred to the police department, with in- structions to enforce the by-laws referred to in the petition. The group asked for stiffer enforce- ment of the two-hour parking and improper parking along the Main Street. Two letters received by council dealt with the recent issuing of a permit for improvements to a building to be used for the com- mercial housing of poultry. The Chamber of Commerce asked for more stringent measures on the issuing of building permits, and also council's consideration of zon- ing for the town. A letter from Topnotch Feeds Limited discussed the possibility of the spreading of disease because of the proximity of the building to their plant. They expressed fear that the ventilating system could release any diseases present into the wind and be carried into their feed plant. This infected feed, in turn, could be sold across Ontario and thus spread the disease The letters started a lengthy discussion by council on the cir- cumstances surrounding the issu- ing of the permit. Councillor Bell, chairman of the property commit- tee, gave his stand, on the matter. He said that no one man should have the extensive power of issu- ing a permit regarding industrial expansion, especially if it was of a contentious nature. Mr. Bell said it was time Sea - forth passed a by-law which in- cluded the prohibiting of the com- mercial raising of poultry within the corporation. Councillor Dalton said he could buy any property in town and do what he liked with it, even 511 it with chickens, and no one could stop him. Mr. Bell reiterated that this showed that it was time Seaforth did something about bringing its .by- laws up to date, for by the same token a property in the core of Seaforth's business section was mentioned which could become the scene of chicken raising and noth- ing could be done to stop it. When the discussion became heated, Mr. Bell indicated ,lie would resign from council, and left the chambers. A letter from the Legion asked for the drawing up of an agree- ment for the use of their old quar- ters in the arena in case of em- ergency, such as fire. Council agreed -that this matter should be attended to and instructed the town solicitor to draw up an agree- ment suitable to both parties. As the three-hour session drew to a close, Councillor Flannery in- quired if there was any way of bringing another dentist to town. Councillor Cardno said the matter had been taken up with the Mid - Western Ontario Development As- sociation, and they had investigat- ed. All they could do, the organ- ization found, was put a notice on the bulletin board of the Royal Dentistry College. Councillor Flannery also asked about an agreement with the Liquor Control Board regarding gallonage tax, and was told that such an agreement is on file.
