MAY HAVE VOTE ON
SEWERS THIS YEAR
A plan to make a start on a
sewerage system for Seaforth was
submitted to Seaforth Council at
the regular meeting on Monday
William Empey, by W 11 rn p y, sanitary
inspector of Huron •County Health
Unit, Council will receive an esti-
mate on the cost of laying a sewer
in the lanes behind the stores on
both sides of Main ,Street and con-
necting to a large septic tank to be
located near Silver Creek at the
south boundary of Seaforth. A
chlorinator would be used and dis-
posal could be run into the creek,
instead of a weeper system.
Additions could .be made to the
sewer from year to year and event-
ually a disposal plant could be con-
structed.
Mayor McMaster said the project
could be submitted to the ratepay-
ers at the November elections and
in the meantime full information
could be secured to give to the
electors.
All members of council were pre-
sent and the Mayor occupied the
chair.
Councillor Crich reported that 50
plaques with two flags each have
been ordered for the coronation
celebration. Each plaque is 2 feet
by 31 inches. Twenty-five poles
along Main Street will be decorated,
Mr. Fred Snow approached coun-
cil on behalf of the Seaforth Agri-
cultural Soelety for the annual
grant. More accommodation will
have to be built or tents provided
for the two regional cattle shows
coning this year.
Councillor Christie asked 'if more
effective safety regulations are
,possible for the public crossing the
race track on fair day. Council
voted the annual grant of 3125.00.
Huron Municipal Officers Asso-
ciation will meet at Hensall on May
13th at 10 a.m., Town Clerk D. 11.
Wilson announced. Mayor McMast-
er said he would be going to Toron-
to on Tuesday `to attend the 80th
anniversary of his graduation.
The department has sent .notice
that subsidy this year will be paid
on road expenditures up to $7,000.
Last year the maximum was $9,000.
Tax prepayment receipts to date
total $5660, the treasurer reported.
Street committee report was giv-
en by chairman E. H. Close. Three
loads of hot patch were applied but
was not a success as something was
the matter with it. Market street has
been graded and gravelled from the
flax mill to the new school, ditches
on several streets have been cleaned
out and gravel applied. Oiling is ex-
pected next week. Signs are being
put up at more stop streets. A Cent-
ralia contractor had offered to dis-
cuss with council resurfacing of ce-
ment sidewalks by applying tarvia.
800 .bags of cement have been used
on street work this year Councillor
Close said, and much work is to be
done. All work had been done only
after consulting with the other
members of his committee, Mr.
Close stated. He had asked Clerk E.
Chesney of Tuckersmith to 'find
out if that township would pay
half cost of putting a drain down
the boundary street.
Mr. J. E. Keating appeared be-
fore council and presented a report
of the .Seaforth Memorial Centre
and also a cheque of over 32,000.00
covering interest and principal for
this year on the debentures. This
would amount to about two mills
saving on the tax rate, he said. The
board had decided to go ahead with
flooring the arena, the estimated
cost being around $10,400 for a pol-
ished top. The firm doing this work
is now working at St. Marys and
then will go to Exeter before they
can come to Seaforth, he said. The
Community Centre had a very suc-
cessful year, but it had taken much
hard work, and more work will be
needed to make it a success as more
and more a r t i f i c i'a l ice rinks
are being put in at other .places. The
Legion had expressed willingness to
continue co-operation with the
bingos to help'pay for the floor.
Mayor McMaster congratulated
Mr. Keating on the excellent report
and said special recognition was due
him for bringing a cheque to coun-
cil for over 32,000, whereas most
deputations come asking for money.
Mr. Frank Kling, chairman of
Seaforth P.U.C., was present and
asked council for authorization to
lay an extension of the water main
to the town limits on Goderich St.
East. At present 21 families are
served by a single 1% inch pipe, he
said. The cost for a four inch main
would be $3400 or a six inch ,amain
33900. He asked that the town loan
the funds to the P.U.C.
Reeve Scoins said the south end
of town had only a small pipe and
no fire Hydrant for three blocks.
Councillor Sharpe thought the
P.U.C. should take care of the inter-
est charges on the loan.
A motion to lay a six inchmain
on Goderich street east was carried
unanimously.
Mr, McLaren of James McLaren
Associates, . Toronto, who made a
drainage survey and map of Sea-
forth last fall was present,
Mayor McMaster said the plan
they had prepared was excellent
for sewerage, but contained no data
on surface drainage. What the
town had wanted was a plan of ex-
isting drainage, and levels and sizes
required for future drainage.

NORTHSIDE NOTES

film, "The Second Chance". It is a

own experiences, younger people
are awakened to the danger that lies
in failing to safeguard their
Christian privileges.
