TREATMENT FOR ROADS ARRANGED BY COUNCIL Town Council of Seaforth held the regular June meeting on Monday evening in the town hall. Important business included arranging for en- tertainment of visiting firemen and contracting for treatment of the town streets. All members of council were present and Mayor Dr. E. A. McMaster presided. Fire Chief John Scott reported to council that the fire brigade some- times had difficulty getting the new fire truck through the alley between the fire hall and the hotel because cars were parked in the alley.There was no alternate route the lengthy truck could use. Councillors decided that although the alley property nearly all belonged to the hotel it could not be blocked in any way. It was decided to erect signs "Fire Truck Route" to overcome the dif- ficulty. Council decided to donate $50 for entertainment of firemen attending the firemen's school being held here this week. Chairman Crich and Chief Scott 'will attend all sessions. Chief Scott said he had consulted about the salvage yard Mr, Clarence Reeves maintains in town. Council- lors reported that Mr. Reeves had rented a property south of the tracks and had placed an old build- ing on it, There were objections from adjoining property owners. Council is studying the natter. Chief Scott further reported that the demonstration of putting out fires would be held Friday morning, He said the brigade 'had bought an air pack for $308. It will supply pure air in places where there is no air, weighs 20 pounds, and can be strap- ped to a person's back. Reeve Frank Sills reported that members of the Huron County Coun- cil would be touring the county next Monday and would reach Seaforth about 4:30 p.m. Councillor Daly, street chairman, said that Engineer Peter Patterson of Goderich had looked over the town streets recently and had com- mendation for the streets and the road grader. He thought oil treat- ment would improve the roadways. Councillors discussed a five year program for the streets. A representative of the Cornell Co. discussed the treatment of town streets. He recommended removing excess gravel where the roadways had been built up too high. The ideal was a crown about 4 inches lower than the sidewalks, but this was not always practicable. He recommended use of a barrel pump in repairing holes in the road. Council authorized the streets committee to purchase necessary materials and sign a contract with the company.. Councillor Daly reported that side- walk work had been carried on for two weeks, cost $1.38 a lineal foot 4 feet wide, 740 yards of gravel had been delivered, and a shovel was at work cleaning ditches.

He was sor- ry that all the light bulbs had been broken. Council approved a'n + application of Reg. C. Watterworth for a taxi license. This does not increase the number of taxis as Mr. Gordon Wil- son has gone to Toronto. Reliance Petroleum was granted a permit to build a small warehouse, cost $375. Dr. J. A. Gorwill altera- tions to office, $1500. Steffen Plumbing, permission for sign. A communication was read from Walter R. Shortreed, Morris twp., opposing the fox bounty. Council- lors agreed with the correspondent's views but owing to the large rural representation on the county council felt there was little that could be accomplished. Council decided to leave rental control as it was for the present in town. A detailed statement of the posi- tion of the store closing bylaw pre- pared by the town solicitors, McCon- nell and Hays, at the request of Councillor Sharpe was read. A request from the Women's In- stitute for a rest room. brought much lively discussion. Councillor Silvery said he had made a study last year and had found a number of insuper- able problems against it.

The mayor request- ed that Councillor Sharpe bring in a report at next meeting. Council arranged to have streets on the new +public school property closed, and to ask Mr. Anent to carry on as assessor even if he re- quired some help with the work, HOLD PICNIC A successful Progressive Censer- vative picnic was held at Peter Eia- enbach's grove, Goderfich township on Friday evening last J.
