The minutes of the last regu- lar and special meetings were adopted. Chairman Reeve Crosier reported for the streets committee, Some dit- ches are itt need of repair, but with the exception of a 20 -rod ditch near the flax •mill none of this work is Urgent for the present. 31. A. Reid introduced an agent for tlfe Globe Indemnity Co who out- lined a policy for liability for accid- ents on town roads, sidewalks, parks or other town property. $5;000 is the usual policy, the minimum premium for a town of 1,700 population being $100. He cited. instances in St. Marys, Hartover, tWinghatn, Yarmouth Tip, and other places of accidents for which the municipality was liable. He Claimed that nearly all municipalities carried this insurance. Mayor Suther- land urged that the insurance on the various town properties, etc,, be div- ided among all local agents. A Mo- tion was passed that liability insur- ance for this year be given the Globe Indemnity Co. )Chief Constable Snell was present add explained regarding a request from Magistrate Reid for the return of a cheque to the Town of .Seaforth for fines under the L.C.A. The of- fences had not been committed in. [Seaforth but 2y utiles out of town, and the fines had been remitted to 'Seaforth by error, A fine of $10 should come to Seaforth however, he said. Chairman L. Eberhart of the prop- erty committee reported that suitable sites for the Campbell memorial foun- tain had been considered. The coon - nil; left the final choice to the cont- mittee and also to get water rates from the public utilities, 1'ite town is to provide a site for the fountain and also water. All expense of installation is borne by the bequest, The site which appeared most favorable to the committee f n c the corner across , from the l Dic: house, This is town property and Itis easy accts from the street. Other sites discussed had been at the rear of the Queen'; hotel, w•bic!t wilt: objected to as being un- safe for teams turning in off the high- way; another site Mentioned 11asat the rear of the town hall, which did not appear satisfactory to the com- tttittee. - .A couple of matters in regard to taxes and business tax were before the council. lfayor Sutherland said that ashes are wanted at the flax mill as well as old cans, to make a drive -way, The Mayor also reported a request from the Legion for the service; of the Band next Sunday for their parade, The Band agreement provides that the council ntay request their services free of charge for two occasions dur- ing the year• A resolution from the Iiitcitener council to the Ontario Government. ankiitg that unemployed heads of fam- ilies must be resident of a municipali- ty alt months instead of three months as heretofore, before direct relief will be granted. !Seaforth coun- cil did not endorse . the resolution, Reeve Crosier cited an involved in- stance whereby Kitchener is at pres- ent charging the County of Huron for direct relief. A request from the hospital for the town to pay half the expenses of a patient could not be granted, patient being a property owner and also on old age pension. The 19314 dog tags have not arrived yet. Councillor Hudson thought the municipal dog laws aught to be ,en- forced. The town has gone wild with dogs, lie said, and not one dog in ten with a tag.

It was amusing to hear some of the delegates trying to bolster lir. Ballantyne as a temp- erance candidate, A man, when asked his attitudeu on the temperance ques- tion at the U T .O..Lib slndependent- Progre sive-C. C. F. convention by a Rev, Gentleman, said that lie could take a drink or leave it alone, an1' that he would follow his ^leader, who is sopping wet, politically. At the and meeting Mr. R. J. 'Mclfillan at- tended and boasted of his straight in- dependence for over 20 years, and to confirm the statement, he said "I MEAN \VHAT I SAY." I and a few more took it with a pinch of salt, and before the meeting was over this straight Independent was on his feet ltarangittg the Henry Administration until the chairman called hint down. In a County that at the last Prov- incial temperance campaign gave over 12 thousand dry majority, still they were afraid to nominate a dry candi- date, for reasons. I have read of wol- ves in sheep's clothing, and Tuesday, nomination day. this lamb in sheep's clothing got Itis name on the speak- er's list and started in to bulldoze and harangue the Bennett and Hon. Hen- ry's Governments, and tried to charge the Henry Govt. with debts accumul- ated by the King administration, and talk high rates of interest, When Warden Elliott took the Boor be handed out McMillan a sharp rebuke, which was coming to hint, for the Venerable Bob 'had no rights as a speaker. He wasn't a candidate, nor was he representing any of 'the three candidates,,tHe appeared there as an agitator and platfonm speaker, and threw the meeting into turmoil. The Conservative candidate, Ward- en Elliott, gave his two opposing can- didates a square deal. If Mr. McMil- lan had been carried off the ,platform, the meeting would have been har- monious, Warden Elliott gave Kinn what was ceiming to him•. Yours, A.
