It is all right for people to ray we can borrow another eOra ,x, or 400,0031 dollars, but if you ite taxpayer will look at gout texts a, 71.4 mills in 1913 and 74.1 :Mlle in 1954, 1 think you will agree with the council when they decided against 0 total coverage which would have ad l- ed another 15 or 20 mills to your pre eat rate. The whole town hits been surveyed by -Graham Reid and Associates, and sufficiently large trunk sewers are being installed to take care of the entire town. The treatment system is being built sufficiently large to take care of our needs for possibly five years, and this can he added to with nothing wasted to give complete treatment in the future. The council have been assured by the engineers and others that. the plan for treat- ment will be safe and will make Sil- ver Creek safer than it is at the pre- sent time. This system, when install- ed, will take care of drainage from the cellars of those attached to it. As to the cost of this system, the capital cost will be $95,000. The an- nual upkeep is estimated, by those who should know, at $1,500 to $2,000. It would be raised as follows: (1) The amount of your present water rate annually for those served o h2) 15e a foot frontage for pri- vate homes only where sewage sys- tem passes property. An additional 25'e per foot frontage tax for those paying business tax where sewage system passes. (3) The remainder, a variable amount, will be collected over the whole town. In this way, those who are unable to avail themselves of sewage facilities will be paying the amount which will -be their equity in the treatment system and the trunk sewers which will be available for them in the future. Those who have the use of the system will 'be paying the major amount. The sewers will be installed by the B.C. Construction of Niagara -On -the - Lake, and a start will be made im- mediately. The plant will be installed by Sparton Company of Toronto and they also will be at work at once. Our council meetings are open to every taxpayer and we would be glad to have you sit in with us and see how your business is conducted. A very complete coverage is always printed by the local press. They are to be. congratulated on the fine way they have covered the work of the Seaforth council A number of our debentures will be paid off shortly, and it is my hope that extensions can be made in your 'system in the near future. Sewage systems are now a real necessity and not a luxury, as expressed by the Ontario Municipal Board on Monday, July 5th. The town does not stand still. It either loses ground or progresses, and I can assure you that I will work hard -for your town's progress in the future, Cordon Holland, 40, and Duncan L.

RICHES SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR Letters arriving addressed in a variety of ways is discussed by The Clinton News -Record. It recalls to us at The Seaforth News a letter which came to our desk somewhat over a year ago and caused excitement for a few moments, and helpful sugges- tions ranging all the way to chang- ing the name of this journal to "The Seaforth Advance". The letter was addressed to "The Seaforth Advance" and it contained a cheque payable to "The Seaforth Advance", for the sum of $15,000.00. Dreams of sudden riches ended with closer study of the valuable slip of paper, which turned out to be intended for a local industrial con- cern, and was the result of a steno- grapher's error in a distant city. "If it happens again, we'll split it 'with you", was the manager's gen- erous offer. It hasn't happened again. Not yet anyway. Joint Serviees 11 arm., • Sermon theme, "The Winds of God".

THE LIONS PARK I'm an old time Seaforth Lion, Thirty years we have been tryin' To build a lovely Seaforth Lions Park: As a Club we knew 'twas needed, Now we're proud we have succeeded, We hope all will agree with this ve- mark. From the very scratch we started, Tons of mud and stones we carted, The site at first of course was sure a sight, But with horses and a scraper We called work bees through the paper, All gladly worked and planned night after night. Now folks come from far off places, Swing and swim and run foot races, To everyone this beauty spot is free; True we'll welcome your donation,. A word of appreciation Will make the members happy as can be. Every night 'tis brightly lighted, Young and older folks delighted, To stroll about or play a game of ball, Some find muscles growing tighter, That's the trouble with the writer, We might be in them pitching after all. Yes, the Park is wide, wide open, And the kiddies all are hopin' We will keep it just as it is today, For their growing bodies healthy, Better far than growing wealthy, That's what our "Code of Ethics" has to say. -Lien John Beattie IAI 81.1,o It Year ,�---�••�,,,.,�w...�,�,..K-,� nom,• 1'nl,ll. h�•r t ...the choice of (7 ,atel46ratic«aI Stylists Fittest quality ... beautiful `1 styling ... unfailing accuracy 1 Cruor gives gnat more for your 3110ney in - every way, y• Vo,&Ih,n "DOREEN" 10 kt. gold -Riled lop, Stainless Golldite back. $33,75 Vert -1111n "SHADOW" 10 la.
