Ottawa Snowdon Bros., Publishers RECOMMENDED: MAITLANDBANK CEMETERY TO BE ASSU .ry ED BY SEAFO `: TH A recommendation that Sea - forth town council assume own- ership of Maitlandbauk Cemetery was made to council on Monday night in the following written report: 'A meeting of the Committee appointed in Julyto study the problem 05 the disposition of the bfaitlancibanlc Cemetery was held in the Town Fall on Wednesday, September 3rd. The following men were present A. Valley, R. W. Campbell, W. Jewitt, W. Somerville, Charles Bona, E. C. Boswell, L, P. Plumsteel, • "After a considerable discus- sion, it was moved by R. W. Campbell, seconded by Wm. Sevi- erville that this Committee re- commends that ownership of the )Iaitlanclbavk Cemetery be as- sumed by Seaforth Town Coun- cil, The Committee tether re- commends that. Council charge non-residents a higher rate than residents of the Town of Sea- forth, such rates to be set by the Municipal Cemetery Boatel. Mo- tion carried. "It was moved by 'Wm, Jewitt, seconded by A. Varley, that the recommendation of the. Commit- tee be presented to the Seaforth Council by R. W. Campbell, Wer. Somerville and L. P. Plumsteel, Motion carried." L. P. P1uinsteel, special com- mittee cbairman, said that dis- cussions about disposition of the cemetery keep conking back to what: is in the elation. There had been a suggestion that a group of protestant churches appoint a cemetery board, but it means that the churches would have to assume the deficits. The churches could not promise to assume de- ficits because it would depend on voluntary contributions which could not be guaranteed year one year. Another suggestion discussed was that Seaforth and adjoining townships take over and share the deficits on basis of number of burials each year. The town- ship councils had indicated that this would put them in an impos- sible situation, as each township t would then be expected to con- tribute towards all the other cemeteries where they had bur - 1310, Joint ownership by several councils would make it awkward to carry on business and make decisions. McKillop council had sent no representative to any of the meetings, Mt. Plumsteel said. McKillop was legally responsible for looking after the cemetery as it is located in that township, a • councillor stated. R. W. Campbell, one of the deputation, said none of us would like the cemetery to go 'back to somebody not interest- ed in looking after it. Wm. Som- erville said there are five empty houses on his lino, and it would not be Long before there will not be too many people left in the township to bury. "They will all want to move to Seaforth to buy cemetery lots at the Seaforth rate," someone re- marked. Use of the perpetual upkeep trust funds for current expenses was discussed, Mr, Plumsteel stating that a demand had been made for restitution before hand- ing it over, The committee felt that if the fund was replaced it should be a non -denominational effort, as all the community had benefitted from the use of the funds. The men of the United Church who had devoted time and effort to the cemetery with- out recompense deserved a vote of thanks from the community. In any case, the $200 annual in- come from that portion of the fund would not make much dif- ference in paying operating costs. The deficits at Goderich amounted to over $8,000 a year, the said, and he thought locally they had done well to hold it down to $5,000 in five years. Councillor Turnbull said the fund would have to be replaced before council took over, or it could not be done. Council passed a vote of thanks to the committee for the report, and the town solicitor will be' in- structed to go into the legal as- pects and prepare a bylaw. Gas Turn -On at Mitchell Next Tues.

Dairy Seeks Council Aid for License On Wednesday morning when asked by The Seaforth News if the sale of Maple Leaf Dairy to Exeter Dairy Limited, would alt- er in any way the request he had made to council on Monday night, se his seeking a license to sell milk in -Seaforth, R. 13. Cousins stated that he had anticipated such a development, and he ex- pected be would still be asking for a 'license Here. Roy Cousins, proprietor of the Brussels Creamery and dairy, appeared before council on Mon- day night to inform council he is making a new application to the Ontario Milk Board to peddle milk in Seaforth. He stated that he was n..w prepared to buy milk from local producers equal to lo- cal sales, and was also' prepared to Purchase property here to es- tablish a pasteurizing plant. He showed council a petition with nearly 200 names asking for a li- cense he had been refused by the Milk Board because of a wrong impression created by the town council and hoped they would rectify it. Councillor Baldwin had been asked 11y the judge if any formal complaints had been made to Seaforth council against present milk, and Mr. Baldwin had re- plied "No". Mr, Cousins said he had ar- ranged with local producers to purchase over 700 pounds of milk daily starting.- next M. 011(1 a y, There are several reasons why it would help us to proeess the milk at Seaforth as wo are crowded at Brussels and the modern trend is towards volume, he said, in reply, Councillor Baldwin said it should be a simple matter to get a copy of the hearing at the Milk Board and let the people know exaetiy what had been said. Ile challenged any of the council- lors to say that they would per- jure themselves and say that a complaint had been made to the council about milk. Reeve Scoins thought the judge should know that eomplaints would not he made to council and should not have asked such a question. The Judge hail asked Mr. Bald- win if he thought there was room in Seaforth for another:' license. 1 -Ie asked if any of the council would say they thought there was room for more than one. Mr. Cou- sins agreed that the correct an- swer was no. But Ile thought a wrong impression had been area - ed, "You had never spoken to any ]oral producers prior to that Milk Board meeting," Mr•. Baldwin said, pointing out that the mat- ter had been turned over to the industrial committee of council for the purpose of assisting local producers. if Mr. Cousins had one to the producers and explained to them and had taken this petition to the Board it might have been dif- ferent, Councillor Baldwin point- ed out. Ile asked if lir. Cousins lives aware that he purchased Brussels milk, proving there was nothing personal Councillor Brady suggested that Hr. Ormolus put his prom- ises in writing, and council would consider beaking a statement to the Milk Board. Councillor Baldwin explained that the owner of Exeter Dairy had been present at the hearing. ler. Travis had stated to the judge that the sale of his dairy to the Exeter man would take place immediately a second lic- ense in Seaforth was granted by tit Re MB, ReeveiIk Scouoardrs, who was acting Mayor in the absence of Mayor Christie, said he thought the in- dustrial committee had exceeded their authority in sending a man to the Milk Board bearing. The council had wanted to remain neutral, he thought. Councillor Baldwin said the milk problem was delegated to his committee with a view to as- sisting local producers. What is the sense of turning a matter over to a committee if they have not the right of decision, he ask- ed. Reeve Scoins repeater] what he thought the Mayor had said. "Are you calling me a liar?" Councillor Baldwin asked, alld walked out ei the meeting, GEORGE -S. BARR The death occurred suddenly, at Toronto Western Hospital, on Monday, Sept. 8, of Geo. S.
