''ale work will be necessarY and poles are hard to get reasonably, also the required wire. A delegation of Goderieh street residents, consisting of Dr, F. J. Bechely, Frank Kling, C. A.

McKellar. presented a peti- tion signed by 42 Goderich Street ratepayers, protesting against anY proposed widening of Goderich St. In reply Mayor McMaster inform- ed the delegation that no report on Goderich St. had been received yet from the engineer, and until then council is not taking any action.

" hazards �c�asc. traffic; ha a i Ile thought a reeonnnendation should be sent to the Department of High- ways that through traffic ought to be detoured around Seaforth on a lay -pass. Mr. Barber said there would not be great objection to widening the street a foot on each side, but asked that the sidewalks not be moved in- side the trees. Councillor Christie said parking was the cause of the trouble, and possibly the side streets night be used for parking instead of on God- erich Street. Councillor Daly told of how the widening proposal had originally come from the Department of Highs ways, as part of their policy of highway widening. However noth- ing would be done unless the town definitely took the initiative and asked for it, Mr. Daly said, The De- partment had asked that the town make a survey and decide what was wanted, so that when the time comes to let contracts they would be ready. The engineers had recom- mended cutting out the humps in the highway at every side street, Mayor McMaster assured the dele- gation that when the question comes up the petition will be given everY consideration. J. E. Keating, chairman of the Community Centre Board, presented a complete financial report of the Board, for the season and also since starting in 1949. He said it was a report of which they were proud.

Dealing with the request from the Athletic Association council voted e $250. to the Association to be used as they saw fit. A motion was passed to pay $259 to the P.U.G. this year on account of the street lighting deficit, dying to the fact the budget had already been made up. Town Treasurer 1), H. Wilson said he hacl information from the County Treasurer that the county rate may be a mill lower than last; year, which will allow a slight leeway to the town finances. In giving the finance report, he also explained that the town's share of cleaning the Lawrence Drain will be absorbed in the .gen- eral tax rate, at a saving of over $100 in costs. The street committee report, given by Councillor T. E, Daly, said a new section of drain had been laid on Market Street, also repair work on East William. It was found that much sidewalk rebuilding can be avoided by use of the new grader in removing clay from the side of the roads. He reported the representative of Cornell •Construction Co. had in- spected the streets and anticipates about same •oil needed as last year ,but more stone would be needed, The cost of oil has increased six per - Cent over last year. Councillor Chris, tie said oiling used to cost $1500 and now had jumped to over $4000, a major item on the budget. Mayor McMaster outlined a plan whereby the town could put the streets in excellent condition with the grader, buy a dump truck at $2000 and use salt, which is very much cheaper than oil. At the end of the year the town would own a truck and have streets in real good shape. There is never anything to show at the end of the year for the all money, he said. Councillor Keith Sharp approved the idea and said next year the town could show a big saving by using salt. Councillor Daly advised consult- ing someone who knows about it. He would like to get an estimate on a mile of paving such as had been on the Kippen Road, thereby cutting the annual cost of oiling and up- keep. Continuing the streets report, he said he had phoned Engineer Ross as to progress of his Goderieh St. survey. This is just renovation, not widening, Mr. Daly said. Widening had not been discussed with the en- gineer. Councillor Close inquired if the East William St. residents got u.p a paving petition, what would be the ratepayers' share of cost? The an- swer was 60 per cent, town clerk Wilson stated. In closing the street report, Councillor Daly revealed that accur- ate records had been kept on the new grader costs. Operation for 80 hours cost 451.57 or 62c per hour. The town had been paying $5.00 per hour when a grader was rented, so the grader had saved the town a big part- of its cost in the first month. Custom work would be charged at $5.00 per hour for the use of the town grader it was decided. However it was not a good practise to run it too much. It was decided that a small dele- gation go to Goderieh to get infor- mation on calcium chloride, etc. from the county authorities. Councillor Christie, property com- mittee chairman, reported there had been trouble over the use of the stock scales at the station by trucks and it was decided to ask the super- intendent at Stratford for a ruling. The dump needs filling in and Lavis will be asked to use his bulldozer next time he is passing this way. The second bridge to the dump is being rebuilt, he said and •the cost -is $300. He was authorized by council to put in a new steel culvert to re- place the first bridge at a cost of 0500. These two bridges leading to the dump have been a constant source of trouble keeping them in repair in past years. The Mayor read a letter from the Chamber of Commerce asking that the stores be permitted to stay open until 10 p.m. an Friday night, May 23, as stores will be closed all day on Saturday 24th. This was agreed. A building permit was confirmed to Gordon Kleber for sunporch and entrance, cost $500 permission to Ball -Macaulay to erect an overhang- ing sign, and peddlers license re- newed to B. J. Sopka for fresh naught fish only. Three delegates from council will attend a meeting of the Huron County Municipal Association in Clinton on Wednesday when special speakers would be present. The annual bylaw granting 10 mill reduction on farm lands in not less than five acre blocks was passed. A report from Assessor Win. Ament showed an increase of $16,- 500 in business assessment for 1952. ed. The meeting was then turned over to Il'Irs. Lorne Carter, who with Mrs. H Hugill were hi charge of the meeting. A song "The more we get Together" was sung. The motto, "Back of loaf is snowy Flour, Bath of the flour tho Mill Hack of the hill is wheat and shower, sun and tate Father's Will" was very ably ta- ken by Mrs. Paul Doig whose subject was A: jungle levelling , project in Ceylon, A sole `"Beautiful Brown Eyes" by Mrs. Ross Gordon was en- joyed, Mrs, •Carter then introdueed Mr. Harvey Leslie of Seaforth, who spoke on the conditions of 1951 compared with 1950 in the farm marketing industry. The year 1951 Showed considerable progress and the year 1952 has many undercur- rents of strength to boost sales. The present cheese situation has been. the hardest hit in the dairy industry because we have no contract with Britain for cheese this year. At a meeting held in •Stratford last week the outlook was very discouraging in regard to the butter situation, the Govt. has 12 million pounds of but- ter in storage or ge at the present time, which will .be on the market the first of June at 55e per pound. Mr, Les- lie also spoke of the process of stak- ing white paper from the salvage paper collected from time to time.
