The park conn- mitttee under 'Councillor 'Scott had done important work. The mayor said the police pro- tection had cost quite a lot but he would like to point out the town had been practically with- outcrime, Speaking 'of the future, the mayor said 1956 would see a sewer laid on .Goderich street. A sewer could be put in before the highway was rebuilt through here and save the 'town many thousands of dollars. It mould be a very costly undertaking to put a sewer on •Goderich street aft- er the highway was rebuilt, the mayor pointed out. The mayor said that if the structure over the drain on east Goderich at. was called a bridge the depart- ment would pay for it, ;but if it was called a culvert it would be up to the town.

The reeve said work for next year included'fix- ing the wiring in the town hall, which was obsolete. The cost of relief, the reeve said, had been low, about $475. Hospitalization costs for the county as a whole 'were away up this year, about double last year's. Reeve !Scorns said he had re- presented Seaforth on the coun- ty council. He served on two county committees, the library committee and the children's aid committee. He bad served three years on the library committee, which supervises the county lib- rary avthich travels about the county in the bookmobile. The province and the county each contribute $5100. ;Another $2000 will be needed to extend the work. A new truck had been bought this year for the'bookmo- bile. The reeve said the work of the children's aid in the county was not 'widely known. Public meetings had been held in Wal- ton and .Exeter to bring the work to people's attention. A- bout 350 children are looked af- ter, with about 50 being wards of the county. The cost is over $32,000 the reeve said.
