TWO NEW MEMBERS ON SEAFORTH COUNCIL The Seaforth nomination meeting was held in the town hall Monday evening with a very fair turn out of ratepayers. Fol- lowing the nomination Town Clerk D. H. Wilson was appoint- ed chairman of the meeting, Mayor 'Dr•, E. A. MoMaster said he was delighted to see a number of the ladies present. This year had been a lnomen- toes one in the history of Sea - forth and would be remembered m history of the town. A great deal of work had been done. Council had done a real job and had attended the extra meetings. rim Councillor Close, as chairman an of the streets committee, had done excellent work, the mayor said. The oiling and crushed stone on the back streets was good and no town in Huron County could compare. The mayor said the sewage work had been started under the direction of Council- lor Leslie. While the weather had been against progressof the work, with a little good weather it should be well on its way by Christmas. The mayor said that if the sewer system had been ex- tended .all over town the tax rate might well be 115 mills. Areas that need sewage would be look- ed after as fast as possible. He predicted the sewer would be extended west to the hospital next year. The mayor said taxes were high because of education costs, and would remain high until our senior governments took steps to help, He asked if taxpayers, realize all the things they get for their taxes: fire protection, water, police, heat and power, street lights, and sidewalks, library, and public and high school, and many .others.. The cost of education in Sea - forth per pupil was 80c a day, and the average for Canada was 82c. Municipal services were pari of our everyday lives, Paying for these services was essential. We 'wanted good streets and good services and we must pay for them. 'We must not take our town for granted but must be part of it. At the close of his address the mayor indicated he would stand for office. Reeve Norman Scoins, chair- man of the relief and indigent patients committee, said these two items were much the same as the previous year and added up to about one mill. At the county council he served on two committees. The county library committee had attended the opening of the Bluevale library this .summer. He was a member of the county children's aid com- mittee and everyone knew of their good work. The reeve said the county got 10 mills in taxes but the rebate brought it down to 9 mills. The county health unit gave a good service. This year the county had the largest building program in its history amounting to a million dollars. The reeve predicted county rate would go up a hill next year to 11. mills. He said he would stand for office. Chairman Frank Kling of the P.U.C., said the tall poles on Victoria street had been replaced with shorter ones. He said the waterworks still owed the town a balance of $10,000 which had been owing for some years. Councillor B. F. Christie, chairman of the finance commit- tee, spoke briefly. He said $82,- 000 out of 1105,000 of this whichaid taxes heconsidered very een good. He indicated he would stand. Councillor E. H. Close, chair- man of the streets committee, gave a brief review of his work. There had been a lot of drainage work and sidewalks. He had a word of praise for the street foreman, Harold Maloney, • Councillor John C. Crich thanked the ratepayers for the four years he bad spent on coun- cil. Councillor Keith Sharp thank- ed the r'a'tepayers for their sup- port during his years on council. Councillor James T. Scott, chairman of the park committee, said the recreation field had bedeendowplon. wed and would be seed - Councillor Leslie, chairman of the sewage committee, said the work was held back by the weather. The disposal plant was corning along real well now, but had been handicapped at the start by quicksand. This had been overcome, and in a few weeks would bo completed. Mr. Leslie said he sympathizes with the people whose alleys had been torn up by the laying of the drains. There had been delays in repairing the alleys, and coun- cil appreciated everyone's co- operation. It bad not been too pleasant hut these things take time, an d after while everything will be fixed up, Ina 'few weeks the digging will be eonpleted if the weather 1s favorable. Mr. Leslie indicated he would stand for office. P.U.C. Commissioner D'Or- loon :Sills spoke briefly. Chairman Cliff Broad'foot of the public school board, said they had hired a new teacher this year, There were 389 pupils. The new 'school was satisfactory and the staff was excellent. Mr. M, A.
