This is the second time in. its history the building has been moved, as it originally stood at Reid's corner, about one mile south of Walton. Irt 1903 it was moved to the east edge of the village where it continued to be used as a house of worship until the time of church union. The Walton L. 0. L. later purchased the building and it will be fit- ted up for a commodious community hall. Mr. FJarry Hart of Seaforth had the contract of moving the building, The above pictures were taken on Thursday last by The News.

TO REBUILD SIDEWALK 01N EAST !MAIN STREET Council Pass Estimates—To Strike Tax Rate at Special !Meeting ' The regular May meeting of Sea - forth municipal council was held on Monday evening in the Clerk's office, with all •menthers present. Minutes of the last regular and special meetings were read and approved. Mayor Cluff presided, Clerk D. H. Wilson read the finan- cial report. No able bodied person is on relief at present. A petition was read by Mayor Chuff asking for a street light in the alley behind the stores on the west' side of Main .street north of Market street, namely Stewart Bros., Smith's, Sills, F. J. Bechely, Keatings and Provincial Bank. A request was also granted to replace a street light on Anne street in front of Mrs. Sillery's residence. A letter was read from Crown Attorney D. IE. Holmes rec- ommending that permanent lights be placed behind stores to help the night patrol cars of the provincial 'police. Action in regard to arrears of taxes was discussed. Town Solicitor H. G. Meir was present and explained nec- essary steps. 'bThe auditors' report was adopted. Mr John MacTavish and Miss .Hazel Reid were the auditors. Council took no action on a pro- posal 'from the City of St, Cather- ines re observing Viotoria Day on May 213rd instead of the 24th. Chairman C. Holmes of the streets committee urged •council to authorize rebuilding the East side of Main street. Discussion followed. iReeve J. H. Scott asked what would be the cost of repairing the bad spots or resurfacing. 'Co'un'cillor R. G. Parke said our sidewalk was in as good shape as in the average town or city. Chairman Frank Sills of the prop- erty committee reported the •roof on the town stable was leaking and re- quired repairs. The town hall has nct been p'ain'ted since 191114, he said, and other a'repairs are necessary to the building, also the band stand is badly in need of paint, and there were sev- eral other items, all of which would improve ,the appearance of the town. In the interests of economy the pro- perty .committee had decided •to do only what 'was absolutely necessary. An automatic stoker for the town hall would be a good investment, he said. Chairman Merton Reid of the fin- ance committee, spoke in favor cf boosting the local assessment, which he thought was too' low. Industrie al- ways looked at the tax rate and did not consider' the assessment, he said, Councillor Sills asked what .disposal would be made of the unsightly heap of asphalt which had been torn up front Main street last fall and piled on the Vacant lot at Market street corner. A citizen had tested a piece of the asphalt by remelting and it appeared worthless for further use. Later Mr. Holmes brought up again about rebuilding sidewalk on tit( 'East side of Main street and pro- vision was made in the estimates t, rebuild the walk front IGoderich• street to Gouinlock street, amounting to 660 yards at a cost of approximately (Continued on Page Five.)

The downy little halls of fluff are good travellers and almost always arrive at their dbstinations in good shape. The clay of the setting hen is gone and in her place are huge electric incubators, with automatic heat and ventilation regulators; everything spotlessly clean; hatches of chicks every few clays from Christmas until the hay is cut, with clockwork regularity. The Chicks from. pedigreed eggs, as soon as hatched, are banded with a small wing band which remains with. them for life, and is recorded in the masses of records in office filing cabinets with breeding records, trapnest sheets, egg laying contest records, pedigree charts of thousands of Barred Rocks and. New Han pshires. Mr. J. M. Scott has achieved wonderful results, over a period of years, in producing birds of .but - standing 'quality.
