Seaforth Approves
New ,Industrial Plan
Tuesday, December 27th was
declared Boxing Day for Sea-
forbh by the town .council at the
final meeting for the year on
Monday night A lettev lrom the
enerahants' committee e the C.
of C. was repudiated +byta peti-
tion signed by 41 merchants
asking for the Tuesday holiday.
Three merchants, the members
of the merchants' committee,
asked that Monday be declared
(boxing day.
All members of council were
(present and mayor McMaster
presided.
The Mayor revealed that a
new industrial organization is
being formed for the counties of
Huron, Perth and Waterloo. At
a recent meeting at Kitchener
plans were outlined for a re-
gional !orgahization +wlhich would
employee a full time industrial
commissioner. If the counties
will raise 410,000 the province
will match it with an equal sum
to provide •funds for promotion.
The cities are acquiring scores
of valuable industries, the may-
or stated, because !they have
ample funds to send delegations
to Europe or wherever required
to lay their advantages before
prospective industries, 'This set-
up will give the smaller places
an equal chance, he said..
!Donnell unanimously endorsed
the plan, which will cost .Sea-
forth$130 annually.
Councillor E. H. 'Close gave
the streets report, Snow was
being removed tonight for the
second time this season on Main
Street to give cars .a chance to
!park. In reply to a question he
said cost is $10.00 an hour for
loader and two trucks. .Last
time the work !began at '7 o'-
clock and finished at three.
Reeve 1Scoins, reporting for
the property committee, said he
was now willing to o.k. the con-
tractor's account for the police
building if council approved,
Heating is working well in the
new building now, and a new
door is on order to replace one
which came that opened the
wrong way. He said a new appli-
cation had been received Monday
for relief for a load of coal.
:Councillor Christie, fire and
:water committee chairman re-
ported that fireman Allan Reid
had lost three days from his
work as a result of injuries re-
ceived at the Daly fire. This
amounted to $39.00, but he
would be satisfied with $30.00.
"I don't know how we can do
anything else but pay it," Coun-
cillor Christie said. .Application
had been made to the Workmen's
Compensation which now covers
volunteer firemen, but it was
not clear if he was off work
long enough to get compensa-
tion.
!Councillor !Scott Habkirk said
most insurance policies do not
cover the first week.
Councillor John Kellar said
when a enan volunteers as a fire-
man the least we can do is see
that he gets his full wages, we
spend money in lots of less im-
portant ways.
.A motion was passed that Al-
lan Reid be paid the full amount
of his earnings if the Work-
men's +Compensation does not
pay it.
The treasurer's report showed.
tax arrears receipts in excess of
$112,000 and current tax re-
ceipts of over $97,000.
Mayor McMaster said the
Waterworks department are pay-
ing off their loan well, 47,000
has been paid, leaving a balance
of $3,000.
Councillor Leslie said there
is a hold -back of over $1200 on
the Sparton firm.
Mayor McMaster was heartily
supported by council on recom-
mendation to provide a Christ-
mas goose for each town em-
ployee.
An indigent funeral account
several years outstanding was
discussed, and it was left to- the
Reeve to find out if any collec-
tion could be made through the
county,: before taking any action.
'When the letters from the
merchants committee of the C.
of C. were read, :councillor
Christie said: "That merchants'
committee only includes five
members. They never discussed
it with other- merchants. I 'don't
think it fair to the other aneesh-
ants•„
Councillor Kellar thought it a
matter for the C. of C. to
straighten out.
Councillor 'Leslie said it was
up to tllhe merchants to object to
the action of the merchants' corn-
anittee.
The Mayor then produced a
petition signed 41 to 8 .in favor
of holding Boxing Day on Tues-
day and staying open all day
Wednesday.
Reeve +S'cbins said all the other
places are closing on Tuesday,
