Police Covered 1,985 miles during June, according to Chief Hutcson. Councillor Dalton said he had checked some trips and doubted all were necessary. Turn Down Signal There are no funds available to provide new crossing signals at the CNR, and council in- structed the Clerk to advise the Board of Transport Commission- ers accordingly. The board asked Seaforth's approval for the work costing $19,150.00. The town's share would amount to $2,500. Little progress can be antici- pated during the summer as far as sewers are concerned. Chair- man J. 0. Turnbull said people are on holidays and we can't get any response from the OWRC from mid-June until af- ter Labor Day. Answering a query from May- or Daly concerning a sewer line on High Street, Dr. Turnbull said the amount had not been budgeted. The cost would run to at least $1500. Mayor Daly said the PUC would do the digging without charge, since a waterline was to be laid on the street. Dr. Turnbull doubted the PUC would do more than dou- ble necessary digging without charge, and Councillor Cardno agreed. In any event, it was bad practise to lay water and sewer lines in the same excava- tion. Reporting for the park com- mittee, of which he is chair- man, Councillor Dalton told council that work was required at the Rec. Officials of the ball club has urged additional sand and more frequent grass cut- ting, and he was attempting to co-operate. Approval was . granted for Civic Holiday, August 7. Possibility of obtaining the services of a dog catcher is to be investigated. Other area towns had made arrangements, Mayor Daly said. Council agreed unless there was a dog catcher capable of enforcing the regulations, there was no point in passing a by- law. The mayor reported on a re- cent convention of Mayors and Reeves he had attended in Lon - on and said how helpful the discussions had been. Council approved payment of $50, re- presenting his expenses at the meetings. Twenty-two Sign (Continued from Page 1) study and to report.

The kitchen, where it is believed the fire started, was completely gutted, as was the upper portion of the two - storey frame dwelling, along with the furnishings and almost all of the Hoornaert family's, clothing. The fire ap- peared to have started in the vicinity of the electric range. Hr. Hoornaert works in Clin- ton, and it was not immediately ascertained if any insurance was carried. At press time the loss had not been estimated. Earlier in the afternoon the Seaforth rural brigade was call- ed to the McKillop Township farm of Stewart Dohnage, when fire threatened a hay field. The fire was quickly extinguished by the firemen, along with several farmers who forked the burn- ing hay away from the rest of the crop.

Mr. Dolmage was busy at the other end of the farm finishing baling a field prior to starting on the field where Mr. Kerr was working. The fire truck had just arriv- ed back in Seaforth but hadn't reached the fire hall when the alarm was raised for t h e Hoornaert fire. Druggist:.
