TOWN COUNCIL HOLD
JANUARY MEETING.
The Seaforth town Council held
its first business meeting of the Year
in the council chamber on 'Monday
evening, Important business included
the. granting of a building permit
to John L. Rice for a $12,000 gas
station and showroom on Goderich
Street, and making arrangements to
register a new street plan for the de-
velopment of the former Tucker -
smith Agricultural property as build-
ing lots.
All members of council were pre-
sent, Mayor Keating presiding. The
council had met in the morning for
the official organization meeting.
A request from Mr. Rice to build
a gas station and auto display room
on property he had bought from the
McColl Frontenac Co. on the north
side of Goderich street between
Main Street and West William street
was considered. Mr. Rice was present
and explained his plans to council.
He said the building would be about
14 feet high, built of cement blocks
with a crystalline covering.
Councillor Scorns asked if Council
had passed a motion giving half the
proceeds from outside fire calls to
the firemen. The town has received
$50 from Tuckersmith for a fire call
last summer. A motion was passed
giving the firemen half the money
from outside fire calls, and retroac-
tive for the year 1949. It was report-
ed that Clinton had been paid $75
for the fire call here on Nov. 21;

the fire call the same night.
The mayor read a letter from
Watson & Reid dealing with compen-
sation insurance coverage for the
town's clerical employees, the Volun-
teer firemen and all other town em-
ployees.
It was reported that due to c'lrang-
es in the act governing compensa-
tion for volunteer firemen that all
claims for compensation would now
be awarded by the workmen's com-
pensation board and the awards paid
by the insurance company, previous-
ly the awards had been made by the
insurance company.
An application for purchase of a
lot 00 x 132 feet between Mr. Din-
woodie's house and the Shell station
to George 32, Miller, was accepted
by council subject to registration of
the new survey and other conditions
to be arranged at time of sale. It was
said that Mr. Miller was snaking ar-
rangements for building a house on
this property.
This application led to an exten-
sive discussion of the new plan for
the former Tuekersmith Agricultur-
al property on the West side of the

al and will be registered at Goderich.
It will be necessary for the council
to pass a notion cancelling the old
Tuckersmith Agricultural survey.
Councillor McMaster said they
were busy planning the drains.
Reeve Sills said. that it would be
necessary to have an award drain
through the Reynolds and Beattie
properties, or council could go to
the people and snake arrangements,

trade levels through the property.
He figured they had a 13 -foot fall
to where drain would cross highway.
The drain would cost about $5,000.

street committee said he had a re-

Council decided to advise the install-
ation of a grease and gravel trap,
and see if that would help matters.
Mr. Close said there had been com-
plaints about drains and that some
of the towns warning lanterns had
disappeared. He said the stone crush-
er had been dismantled for the sea-
