Actually organization of this company took place last February, according to Mr. M. A. Reid, who is listed as secre- tary -treasurer, and the directorate is provisional, for organization pur- poses only. Belgian and American capital is understood to be interested in the project. The article says: Salt soon will be mined here again, after bores near the town have laid idle for the past seven years. Sea - forth Chemicals Ltd., comprised of a group of Montreal, Toronto and Sea- forth businessmen, plans to start pro- duction by mid -fall. They hope the recently -formed company will start with a capital of between 5800,000 and 5600,000. Seaforth was the centre of a boom- ing salt mining industry 40 years ago, and an attempt to restart min- ing seven years ago failed due to high costs. Introducing a new method of ex- traction to Canada, Seaforth Chem- icals hope to produce salt with a 'minimum of labor and cost. Extensive Government tests in the area have revealed an unlimited sup- ply of brine in its purest form. Engineers of the Ozark-Mahonic engineering firm, Oklahoma, are drawing up blue prints for the in- stallation of the new equipment. i.. submerged combustion system each unit is fired by butane gas and is fully automatic. The heat from the fired gas crystalizes the salt which is blown into a silo and fully dried. The company plans to start with one unit, which costs $90,000, and later add others. The equipment needs only one en- gineer to operate. Dr. E. A. McMaster, of Seaforth, second vice-president of the com- pany, said today that the daily out- put from each machine will be about 100 tons. One of the failings of the company which attempted to re -start the industry seven years ago he said was that it used the old drying meth- od which took a maximum of labor, and resulted in high costs. He _predicted a ready market for Canadian -produced salt, as the coun- try at present imports large amounts of the mineral from the United States. President of the company is Earl Elliott, director of a Toronto funeral home. First vice-president is Norman Brooke, of Montreal; secretary -treas- urer, Merton Reid, of Seaforth, and director of the company, H. L. Rown- tree, of Toronto. day, August 2, civic holiday. A motion was passed that the ten- tative tax rata be adopted and a tax bylaw be prepared. Russell Bolton and Earl McSpad- den, on behalf of the Seaforth Agri- cultural Society, asked for the an- nual grant. They pointed out that Clinton and Brussels each give their respective societies 5300. Mr. Bolton mentioned that the winner of the Golding trophy here last year in the county 4-H Club competition, had gone on to ruin the grand champion- ship at the Royal Winter Fair. Mrs. Jos. G1°ummott stated that the society is planning' to celebrate its 110th anniversary next year, be- ing the oldest fair in Iluron County. Councillor Leslie spoke in favor of an increased grant because agricul- ture is the Main industrial support of our town. Reeve Scolne and Councillor Close opposed it because the working man is carrying e heavy tax load. On suggestion of Councillor Scott a grant of $200 was made, as this is more than any of the townships give. Mayor McMaster announced that according to his information, Iligh- way No, 8 would be torn up this fall for rebuilding, as far as Main St. from the west. He thought plans should be laid for laying sewer pipe under the road before it is surfaced, as it would be very expensive after- wards. Councillor Christie suggested that authoritative information be pub- lished giving facts about the sewer- age bylaw. He believed if the pub- lic were acquainted with all the facts and their questions answered, much :misunderstanding could be avoided. The mayor said this would be taken care of, and that until now there we instruct the Clerk to advertise for Tenders on the :Ranking Munici- pal Drain for the open portion and for the Tile portion. Contractor to give a Certified Cheque for 5200,00, Tenders to be in the hands of the Clerk by July 17th. Carried, R,Hesk and. W. R. Jewitt, that the Accounts as read be aecepted and paid, Carried. T.
