(Coun- cil was agreeable. • Councillor Christie said the' town had it a new temporary tap on well located - near the foundry. It was ` - uncertain whether ths old well, about 15 feet deep with eight feet of wa- ter in it, -was on town property, or foundry property. Brad Smith, councillors reported, had offered to fill it in with broken brick: -Councillor Christie told coun- dl• that steam blowing across the sidewalk and roadway from the -boiler room at the Boshart factpry under certain conditions caused so much fog that it was nearly impossible for car driv- ers to see each other at this point and there had nearly been accidents several times.

Richard McCullough of Wood - stole addressed council on in- surance on (behalf of the Frank Cowan Agency, His agency had wr'`* a liability • insurance foiwn for 'a number of years but this year it had not been renewed. Ele said the pay- ments of liability insurance dur- ing past years at the high school had not been covered 'by the premiums paid, and that while several hefty claims had been paid at the public school and town these had been more than covered •by the premium pay- ments. St. Thomas' Anglican Church was filled to capacity es women from Seaforth and district un- ited to observe the World -Day of Prayer. Mrs. J. H. James led in the, call to worship assisted by the choir with Geo, B. 'Clarke at the organ, The service which had been prepared by a ,woman from Hungary was shared by members of the Anglican, Eg- mondville, Northside United, Pentecostal and First Presby- terian Churches. Those taking apart were: Mrs. 'John Oldfied, Mrs. 'Clarence Walden, (Mrs, Jas. M. 'Scott, Mrs, Peter Dunlop, Mrs. 'Roy Lawson, Mrs. A. "Pep- per, Mrs. Gordon McGonigle, Mrs. L. Eckenswiller, Mrs. D. Glenn Campbell, Mrs. Orland Johnston, Mrs. L. Bell, Mrs. Keith Sharp. Mrs. Bruce Hall in •an impressive address on the theme, "Who shall separate us?", stressed the practice of being thankful, of being an un- derstanding person and of be- ing responsive. The soloist, Mrs, Cleeve Coombs sang "What will You ,do with Jesus" The offer- ing which is used for Christian Literature was the largest re- corded in this centre amount- ing to $38,72, It was received by Miss Dorothy Parke and Mrs. Wm. O'Shea. Mr. McCullough offered that his agency would make a survey of all town property and the town's insurance needs and pre- pare -a report with recommenda- tions for a complete coverage without any overlapping. Over- lapping was •a problem when in- surance was placed among a number •of agents without a carefully prepared master plan. There would ibe no charge or obligation' for this service and the firm would broker it among local agents while at the same time taking full responsibility for complete coverage. Councillor ,Christie asked if Mr. (Reid was not a broker. (Reeve Scoins asked a number of questions and said he was - very pleased with the policy they had this year. Mr. McCul- lough •explained 'comprehens- ive' insurance: there was an initial payment' followed by an adjustment payment at the ehd of•the year. This gave consider- able scope for varying, the init- ial payment. His agency 'had tried to set the initial payment so that the •adjustment •at the end of the year was small. It was largely affected by attend- ance at the arena during the year and payroll on construc- tion work done by . town . em- ployees. Afterwards Councillors Chri- stie and Habkirk told council that Mr. Reid had assured them that the policy they had obtain- ed ilhis year gave more •cover- age at a lower cost.
