Sewage Bylaw Detai'Is
Town Solicitor I'. D.• McCon-
-•'rreI1 was preeorrt 'mrd reviewed
with council the changes to be
rnacte in the sewage bylaw.
The bylaw defines the sewage
area in detail. The area takes in
the Bell foundry property, the
flour. Mill property, a few' pro-
perties on Crombie street, then
approximately all the area north
of the C.N.R. tracks from Vict-
oria street to Jarnts street as far
as Gode r ieh street Also a few
Properties north of Goderich et.
around the Queen's Hotel.
The bylaw provides that the
sewage area shall he extended
as the sewers are extended.
The frontage tax will be 15e
a foot tind properties assessed
fo • business tae will -pay an ex-
tra 20e a foot.
The tax on water used will be
equal to the water rates and
Will be r,aected from all. pro-

was a good time to invite a lot
of people here when the alleys
and sidewalks were all torn up
with sewerage ae work. It. would
be better to leave it for the
Present. Councillor Leslie
thought the sewage work could
all be cleaned up.
There was discussion about
the Lione backing it. No written
request had been received, only
a verbal one. 11 was suggested
the stammer frolic might clash
with a celebration.
Councillors did not know
whether the chamber of com-
merce would back ,it. A. commit-
tee of Councillors Christie and
Habkirk is to consult with. the
Chamber and report.
Councillor Close said the town
should order cement now. Coun-
cil approved.
Reeve Scorns suggested traf-
fic signals for the town truck.
Council agreed.
Discuss Insurance
Council discussed providing
insurance for employees and
their families. The mayor said
it would provide hospitalization
and $20 a week allowance While-
ill,
hileill, $2000 in ease of death, ete.
He thought cost was about $4
a month per employee. The
1 l .C, staff would be included
in the same insurance group.
Council is taking this matter un-
der consideration and definite
details will he given at a later
meeting. The business will be
pia'ed through local agents.
VARNA
The Varna WMS held their
January meeting at the home of
trate' in throeoaths. it was
expleined the Seaforth water
meters re; istered in gallons.
This would work out at 120,0110
gallon; in three mouths. It_ was
decided to consult the PL( as
to the quantities used by large
consumers.. •
('ouniillors said that one of
the largest users of water was
the :arena. Large quantities were
necessary when -the freezing
plant was operating to remove
the heat from the coolant.
The bylaw provides that if
the water rates and -frontage
rate together with the 94500 le-
vied from the whole town do
not provide sufficient to meet
each year's debentures and op-
erating costs, 0 special mill rata
will be levied against the proper-
ty in the sewage. area.
The bylaw designates the PUC
as 'agent for the town for collec-
tion of the sewage rates.
The sewage bylaw amendment
received two readings at the
tweeting on Monday night, The
third and final reading will be
given when it is approved. The
Mayor said that when it is pass-
ed the debenturesfor the sew-
a•rc• work will be sold. The mark-
et for debentures is very good
at present, he said.
$500 For Hockey
Councillor Christie asked what
council would do about the Ath-
letic. He recalled they had got a
donation last year from the
town, perhaps $200 or $250.
Councillors suggested $500 for
the hockey.
Council discussed a reunion.
It could hardly be called a cen-
tennial, some said, as the town
was not incorporated until 1874.
Reeve Scoins asked if the
merchants were willing to back
it. He recalled that in 1924 the
merchants had put up the mon-
ey, and the firemen and the
hand had helped. The firemen's
convention had been held at the
• same time. It was too late now
to join the firemen's association
and get the convention;
Councillor Kellar asked if it
were read by Mrs. Meelymont,
lits, H. I)owson,- Mrs. -W. Web-
ster, and Mrs, H. Ilayter, Mrs.
I McConnell led in prayer. The

HULLETT
On Jan. 10th, 24 adults of the
Fireside Farm Forum net at the
]tonne of Mr. and Mrs. James
Howatt to discuss agricultural
fairs. (1) In our area all towns
holt] fairs in either the fall or
spring; we also have Huron
County seed fair and McKillop
school fair. (2) We think, if
weather permits, all these fairs
are very good. (3) There is al-
ways room for improvement in
any fair. If there was a limit
placed on the number of entries
in one class, by one exhibitor, it
would prevent a professional in
that class from taking all prizes,
and more exhibitors would en-
ter. In children's classes, great
stress should be placed on hav-
ing the work done by the child,
not the parents. The present
system trains children in dis-
honesty. The same exhibits in
handicraft should not be allow-
ed to take prizes year after
year. We believe the juniors and
4-31 club members have greatly
improved our fairs. If judges
would explain over a loudspeak-
er, why they place one animal
superior to another, it would
help educate the spectators, and
also help train young people for
judges. Too much stress has been
placed on the fancy groomed,
over -finished animal which may
be an advertisement to the own-
er for future sales, but, has been
so expensive that it does not
encourage better farming meth-
ods. (4) A few thought a small
midway added entertainment and
encouraged a large attendance,
but the majority opposed mid-
ways at small fairs, because
they have no educational value
and take much money from the
community and children are
frequently short changed. Tees -
water is one large fair which
can have a good attendance with
no midway.
Most games, Mrs. Wm. Dol -
mage and Don Buchanan; lone
