Assessment Up,
Population Down
In his report to town council
on Monday night, Town Asses-
sor W. L. 'Southgate reported
that the town's assessment had
risen about $'77,000 this year,
making a total of over $1;838,-
000.
I regret to say very little of
this was from new construction
but is largely raised assessments
.on Main Street", the assessor
said. "I expect there will be
some appeals."
Mr, Southgate said Main St.
had not been touehed since
1949 and this re -assessment
would bring it up to date. It
would also (bring Seaforth Main
Street assessments more in line
with assessments on the busi-
ness streets of other towns dpi
Huron county. He had driven
through other towns and com-
pared the buildings and valua-
tions and he thought Seaforth
valuations were - lower, Some
council enernlbers indicated they
were considering entering ap-
peals.
The assessor said bis count
showed a small population de-
crease in town. The figures are
2089 this year to 2165. The dog
population is up to 185.
Askedabout whether "poten-
tial earning power" was consid-
ered he malting assessments the
assessor said it was considered
among other factors. For in-
stance it was well known that
local bake shops had a hard time
competing today and this was
taken into account.
The assessor forecast that lo-
cal assessors would disappear in
a few years and all assessments
would be under a provincial
board.

To Vote On
Goderich Street
Seaforth town council held
their regular October meeting
in the council •chamber at town
hall on Monday evening. W. E.
Southgate, town assessor, told
council that the assessments on
many business properties on
Main Street had been substan-
tially increased.
A. vote of the ratepayers
would be held with the 'munici-
pal elections on the question of
extending the sewer west on
Goderich street to the hospital.
Present at the meeting were
Reeve Scoins, Councillors el,
Leslie, B. !Christie, ,T. Kellar, J.
Scott, S. Habkirk. Mayor Dr.
MCMaster presided.
Council passed a bill from
legal firm of McLaughlin, 'Mac-
auley, May and Seward of Tor-
onto for $235 for advice 'to
town solicitor in connection with
:bankruptcy of B --C Construc-
tion, contractors on Main Street
sewer.
Current tax receipts are $62,-
000. The town's taxes each year
total over $100,000.
Mayor McMaster gave an ex-
tensive report on the work in
connection with industrial de-
velopment, pertaining' to the
town and the whole of western
Ontario. He said there were two
industries which had the town
under consideration. One indus-
try wanted 15 acres of land
with the possibility of landing
fields, The other was an Eng-
lish glue factory with a distinct
possibility of a "stink?'—but not
a bad stink—which might be lo-
cated in the nearby country. It
would employ about 100 people,
the other about 35.
Council approved the assess-
or's report and passed his ac-
count of $738. Court of revi-
sion was tentatively set for No-
vember 15.
'Councillor Leslie gave the
streets report in the absence of
Councillor Close. TIe recom-
mended a meeting with Tucker -
smith council about some of the
drains which start adjacent to
the town and have outlet into
town drains. Reeve Scoins said
Reeve Doig had told him the
township would give co-opera-
tion. Council discussed drainage
troubles at the corner of Gouin-
lock and Victoria Streets where
water from catch basins was
flowing into nearby cellars.
Councillor Leslie thought drain
must have been injured when
sewer was dug.
!Councillor Habkirk reported
for property committee. Work
was commencing on town halt.
What about a snow plow, the
grader is about worn out. He
thought a '-ood truck with a
blade should be used for snow
plowing, Councillors wanted to
know how it could be financed.
Town Clerk Wilson said the es-
timates were all made for this
year and no more could be made
until after January.
Councillor 'Habkirk said work
had started on paving No. 8
highway east of town and the
black top came up to Coleman
street. Would it not be possible
to get the rest of Goderich S't.
paved, either with the sewer or
without it, he asked.
Councillor Leslie said a num-
ber of people had asked him the
same thing. It should' be „put to
a vote.
Councillor Kellar said he had
heard much opposition to in-
stalling a sewer on Goderich
street. 'Councillors introduced a
notice of motion at next meet-
ing of council for a bylaw to
have a vote on the question of
a sewer on 'Goderich street and
out to the hospital.
Councillor Christie charged
that 'council had promised •a man
it would guarantee payment for
cement supplied to B—'C 'Con-
struction, and $900 was still
owing.
'Councillor Leslie said the,man
was Bill Ball and he (Councillor
Leslie) had told 'Mr•. Bali that
the town had a hold back on
sewer work, which 'was true.
Neither he nor council had done
more than this, which was be-
fore the company went into
bankruptcy.
Councillor Christie said this
was not the only case; there
were several other accounts in.
town in the same position.
"It is no wonder people are
moving out of town with the
tax rate at 84 mills" was 'Coun-
cillor Christie's final blast.
Frank Kling, who is in charge
of remodelling town hall, ap-
peared before council and re-
ported his talk with the fire
brigade and fire marshall. They
had agreed that a rear exit for.
the fire truck was satisfactory
but alley at back of town hall
would have to be kept clear of
parked cars, The firemen de-
sired a room •close to fire hall,
and they wanted fire hall to be
private and under lock and lcey.
Mr, Kling said fire marshall had
suggested a ley be in a box
wtih elase front outside fire
hall door. 'Mr. Kling said fire
marshall had suggested submit-
ting plans for town hall stairs
to his office !before construction
began.
!Councillor Christie reported
for fire and water committee.
He recommended an increase of
$500 in the grant to the fire
brigade for a total of $1,000
this year. 'Fe explained that the
firemen lead "lost" practically
all their grant in the reunion

sewage committee, Sunoco Oil
Co. had applied for connection
to sewer on east Goderich street
for their new station. It would
be necessary to run a ditch 40
feet down the boulevard to
make connection. Councillor
Kellar objected; he said that
was where Clinton got into
trouble, running connections
here and there at town's ex-
pense, Reeve Scoins asked what
length of connection the town
had paid for on Main Street and
was told eight feet. 'FIe insisted
that was all we should do for
Sunoco. fie also thought it
