(Cause of the afire is unknown. are. Mc- Kenzie and 'children were home at the time, but Mr. McKenzie was away. Nothing was saved, Livestock burned was three cows, four calves and 34 pigs ready for the market. Seven ,pigs wore sship- ped 'lash week 'and the others were to go immediately. A 'bin'd- er and some other equipment was lost. The fire was ;first noticed by a neighbor, Bussell ^Dallas, who turned in the alarm. There is no t tel•epi] ions on the McKenzie Tamm. Brucefieid and ;Seal -forth fire brigades responded. The northwest wind was carrying sparks directly on the 'brick house and firemen had to put out a fire on the kitchen roof ;when they arrived. The main part sof the house has a slate roof. The welter supply 'being in the middle of the barn, the fire trucks had to rely on .their 400 gallon tanks, It is understood the barn was built by 'Henry 1VIonteille and the faun was leiter owned by William Chapma-n and Harold Jackson before being purchased some years ago by Kenneth Mc- Kenzie. Mrs: McKenzie is the former Miss Brodhagen, of Brod- hagen. 'Hydro was reconnected to the house about 11.30 pen.

Council Asks PUC to Remain As Tenant When members of ^the revealed to town ^council at the regular April meeting on :M'on- day night that they had taken ^an option to purchase the Daly Mo- tors store on Mann street, a mo- tion was passed requesting PIT: ;Commission to remain a tenant in the town hall. Aid anemlbers were present and Mayor 'McMaster presided. 'Councillor Close reported on streets. He. saidpeople would have less trouble with drains if they did .not put soapy neater down the drain. East William at. drain had been dug up and new tile was ;being laid on south High street. ,Seven tons of col tc;had h been purchased 'and some had been put do the deep holes on Main street. Mr. Close hoped the county would soon repair Main street, which is a county -road. ;Cornell Co. will he asked to spray the streets as early as pos- sible. A couple of ears had founder- ed in soft spots where drains had been dug across streets. Wien narking on (Main Street was brought up, most councillors said they remembered the bitter opposition to ,meters two years ago. ;Councillor Habkirk said it was nearly impossible to drive a bus safely on Main street. ^Coun cillor Scott said that double parking was :frequent, and in- deed necessary, under present conditions. - ;Councillor Christie wondered why people went happily off to Stratford with its parking me- ters, and then objected to any proposal of palling -control in ^Seaforth. ^Councillor !Close 'asked what the penalty would he for .over- rparking iT council brought in two- hour parking. Taxes Unpaid Mayor McMaster said upaid taxes are higher than ever be- fore. He suggested steps should be taken at once to bring this to ratepayers' attention. Councillor Kellar asked 'how much is ,owing in overdue taxes —about 430,000. 'Councillor Close said many dog taxes were unpaid. (Councillor [Habkirk said the dump was closed for a few days because of mud. A firemen's training centre will the (held in Toronto this 'month and council decided fire chief Jack Scott ^could attend, The 'cement tank at the sew- age disposal plant is leaking badly, 'Councillor Leslie report- ed. This had been taken up with the engineer and contractor. Faulty cement work was the cause, he said. Asphalt or ceanent sidewalks, which does council want this year, 'Councillor ;Close asked. Asphalt ^costs about the same as cement and made :an excellent walk. It evould still be necessary to -order some cement for repair of cement sidewalks. The mayor said two industries were prospects for Seaforth. Mr. M. A. Reid addressed the council concerning town insur- ance. He advised placing the in- surance on a schedule so that every company ahaa'ed equally in all risks to the extent of its pol- icies. 'The town would have a coverage of 433,000. P.U.C. To Stay Two P.U.C. commissioners, D. 'Sills and F. Kling appeared be- fore council. The P.U.C. had an option on the burned out Daly Motors property on Main street. The option expires .April 16. Mr. Kling said the P.U.C. desired 'better accommodation. He outlined a !plan Tor taking over the whole north side of the town hall and building a garage on the rear. Mayor McMaster said the town could take over the south side of the ;building. Coun'cillor ^Christie inquired about the present rent the P.U. Commission pays. They had been paying 4300 a year ever sine 1917. Mayor McMaster 'suggested the P.U.C. waterworks was in a position to offer the town a•re- duction on fire hydrants. The present rate is $75 a year and this could be cut to $37.50 as an experiment for 'One year only. ;Councillors asked about Eg- mondville, but this won't inter- fere withP.U.C. work in town. The 'commissioners asked if council wished them to remain in the town hall. ^Council agreed they wanted the P.U.C. to atay. The P.U.C. is' to get in touch .with an architect to lay out a front entrance for the building. ;Councillors .asked if there was sufficient room at the back for the two fire trucks to maneuver and get out to the street. A bylaw was passed providing estimates fox expendrtuee 'of $10,,000 on streetsand roads in town. This is necessary to quali- fy for the provindial 'grant. On advice the bylaw to pro- bi;bvb parking on west Gaderich street was withdrawn, and the provisions were inooa'porated as an addition to the present by- law governing the streets. Two 'building permits were granted, ^Syd Dolmuage to build a garage`on W. William street. (Cities ^Service Oil Co. to 'build a service Station on south side of ^Goderich street near Main. st. 1;t was explained the company had an option on the land and want- ed to be sure of permission be- fore coMpldting the purchase.
