General Observations
R
:Che season has been very .favor'•
cable for spring seeding, The cool
weather has made the heavy work
easy for the horses and. the land.
has seldom worked up as nicely as
this .year. Fall wheat is in fine shape
with little winter -killed.
**
1t may not be generally known
that there is a heavy fine attached to
the shooting at or killing of birds
that east insects. These birds are the
best friends to man, as they destroy
insects which if permitted to in-
creaee, would soon kill all vegetation,
Protect the birds. They are not only
delightful with their songs, but they
r.rotect you.

From the above figures you will
see teat when the Bell Engine Works
commenced business in 'Seaforth they
paid- taxes amounting to $41.66, The
opening remarks defined 'the post- average taxes per year for the last
tion of the council. Propositions had three years .are $924..00, or 22 times
the amount they were paying when
they started here. The above also
shows how much increase there has
been and how much benefit to the
Town the Company's operations
have been so far as revenue from
taxes is concerned, and it effectually
contradicts the misleading statements
circulated in the Town, with the ob-
ject of trying to make ratepayers be-
lieve /hat the Bell Engine Company
have been paying little or no taxes.
Instead of increasing the .ratepayers'
taxes, the location of the Bell Engine
Plant itt Seaforth has been the means
of reducing the taxes for every tax-
payer in town. The question'has.also
been asked, "Why should the rate-
payers of Seaforthpay Mr. Bell's
personal taxes ?" The ratepayers of
Seaforth have never paid a single
cent of Mr, Bell's personal taxes, but
'their taxes have been reduced, from
the fact that Mr. Robs. Bell is one
of the largest taxpayers in town,
and if anyone has the slightest doubt
been . from tune to time presente
for the industrial expansion of the
town but no time had been lost in
turning down the schemes of pro-
moters. The present proposals, how=
ever were those of reputable business
men and the council in endorsing alt
three were, as was their duty, look-
ing after the best interests of the in-
dividual citizen and the town at
large. Messrs♦ Pfeffer,' Hay and
Eleldorf frankly stated that they had
been offered mills iu.other towns
with their bonds guaranteed and, a
fixed assessment. These mills, how-
ever, were too small and 'they select-
ed the Rob Roy plant as being the
largest and requiring the least ad-
ditions, i•ith the promise of the
council theymade the purchase and
would Spend the money guaranteed
by the town in new machinery, Mr.

ure in
leasurein submitting to the careful con-
sideration of the ratepayers the fol-
lowing verbatim extract from the
general manager of 'the Canada Fur-

tion:
`Industrial conditions ill Canada at
the present time are far from satis-

Reviewing the inforntation furnish-
ed your committee and the state-
ments made by the principals inter-
ested in the enterprises, we find that
all three companies will continue to
pay taxes --there will be no increase
in the taxes of arty ratepayer, There
will be corresponding reduction in
tate cost of lighting and cooking,
which will be a benefit to almost ev-
erybody in town. That ample se-
curity has been made Inc 'the guar-
antees given by the town and at no
cost to the ratepayers. That the
spending of the enormous stuns of
money on the waterworks system,
drilled wells, etc„ new pavement of
Main street, etc., are not warranted
if these bylaws are - to .be defeated.
With these expenditures made 'ttte in-
dividual ratepayer is but protecting
his own intcresis by voting for .all
three bylaws.
In conclusion your committee beg
to submit the opinion of an outsider,
fully conversant wtilt municipal and
financial affairs:
"Seaforth should pat itself on the
back in having this mill property ta-
ken over by such men as Pfeffer &
Co.. whose standing Sand ability to
do things is unquestioned. Share-
holders in your other companies have
been ill-advised in demanding a divi-
dend at this time when the farriers
. the wes-
tern
particularly
the
inY
tomeet
provinces, are unable
their obligations. Better conditions
are obtaining in. almost all parts of.
Canada and in a few years these
farmers will meet their paper and
the manufacturers in turn will pay
dividends. Just have a little patience
and a lot of faith. We have a grand
country, none better, and things will
right themselves in a short time., I
hope I have made myself explicit,
dividends cats only be paid out of
fundsprofiter
s the naid out industry will f any
rtltor
later go into liquidation and idle
factories are no asset. To close 'these
factories would mean that the bur-
den of taxation would of necessity,
have to be carried 'by the people who
remained its your town: Take my ad-
vice ant hold on to what you have,
and hold tight.”
In submitting their report your
committee beg to say they have en-
deavored to obtain ala information
from all sources and while conditions
have been -ala tow ebb for some
time, the ,prospects are decidedly bet-
ter for 'improvements in. which Sea -
forth, in common with other 'towns
will receive its share.

Mr. Reid for the Canada Furniture

the general depression also, but the
company had faith its the country
and it would surely come hack, Fur-
niture was the best investment any-
one could snake, and unlike autos,
etc., which lasted but a few years,
furniture would last a life time. At
no ,small cost the company had in-
stalled a sprinlder system throughout
the plant and as business increased
more men would be taken on. It
was in •the best interests of the com-
pany to employ a full staff of hands
