SEAFORTH TAX RATE DOWN NEARLY TWO MILLS There was good news for Seaforth ratepayers at Monday night's ad- journed council meeting when the annual tax bylaw was passed setting the tax rate at 58 mills for public school supporters. Owing to altera- tions at the separate school their rete will be 59.8 mills. Mayor E. A. McMaster presided and all members were present ex- cept Reeve Sills ` and Councillor Close, Communications included a let- ter from the provincial seleet com- mittee •on controls asking the town's wishes in regard to continuing rent controls. As the council had already replied to an inquiry from Mr, Tenn Pryde, M.P.P., a member of the committee, asking that controls be retained, and as some of the council were now undecided, it was' decided to let it stand. If further action is needed there would' be time to do so up to March, 1953, it was under- stood, A motion was passed declaring Monday, August 4th, Civic Holiday. Councillor Sharpe asked that not- ice on. behalf of the Chamber of Commerce be included in the procla- matien stating . the stores would close as usual that week on Wednes-' day afternoon. An application for building per- mit for repairs and alterations to garage • on Centre street from Mr. Hiram Shannon, estimated cost $275, was approved. Building permit was confirmed to Mr. J, M. McMillan for repairs and alterations to residence on Victoria street, estimated cdst $1000.00. , When the tax bylaw was being read, Mayor McMaster ,pointed out that council has actual control over only a fraction of the money raised by taxation, and that a very sub- stantial decrease had been made in the portion under control of coun- cil. ouncil, Councillor Sillery asked per nis- sion to have the scrap iron old from the basement of the town hall and around town property. He sti- mated there is a ton, Councillor Christie gave the ro- perty committee report stating re- pairs bad been made in the cella'n of the town house on Coleman street at a very reasonable cost of 52. Work is still in progress on the other bridge to the town d. ip. The town truck needs a new nn for and he submitted two estimateson replacing With a factory . re uilt motor, under $275.00. Councillor Crich asked if it w uld g be ,good business to buy a big ger truck that could haul snow or pow. Councillor Daly said the half ton truck is very useful that the t wn now has, for taking shovels, cem nt; etc. to jobs where a big truck wuld be awkward and costly. A plow can be put on the front end of the ad- er, but he was informed the 12�inch blade would do normal snow pow ing. • ,r s e p t� u 0 b 0 1 0 e a t 1 A notion was passed that tenders be 'called for overhauling the old truck, in the hands of the property committee and Councillor Daly. Tenders will also he called for painting the town hall, it was stated Councillor Christie asked about the town bylaw forbidding bicycles to ride on sidewalks. He said a 'boy had shouted at a woman to get out of his way. on the sidewalk the other day. Councillor Crich said they ride even on Main Street side- walk. The property committee was au- thorized' to sell scrap iron. Councillor Daly laid before coun- cil, a letter from the engineering firm, showing a quotation to the town of Listowel of $200,000 for a sewage disposal .plant and using suitable portions of existing drain- age system. Mayor McMaster said one benefit from the drainage survey of Sea - forth would be if sewer connections could be laid under the highway ac- cording to an engineer's plan be- fore work is done en Goderich st. by the department. This would avoid having to spoil the street later by digging. Councillor Sillery said any furth- er work should be held over till spring, Councillor Daly explained it was a natter of surprise to himthat a place that sizecould get such a low estimate on a sewer 'system. Councillor Sharpe thought it would be a good idea if a table of compar- ison could be drawn up showing, the taxes, water rates, hydro costs, etc, for Seaforth and some of the other towns. He was of the opinion that this would give a more accurate picture of the cost of locating in Seaforth, as compared to say Clin- ton, where the sewer cost was on the water rates rather than the tax rates. Farmers intending to retire sometimes looked only at the tax rate, Councillor Sharpe gave figures on putting a rest room for Seaforth on the .lot owned by the Seaforth branch of the Canadian Legion, lo - fated just south of the Dick House, f the„ lot was obtainable, A ,build- ing could be erected for $262.50 us - frig the cement floor and portions of wall now on the property. Plumb - septic tank, etc. would cost 39.00 for a total of $601.50. This started the usual round of pros and cons which comes up with mach discussion of a rest room. Mayor McMaster said he had 'leer shown the new rest room at '.Exeter by the mayor of that town, SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1952 - Snowdon liras., Publishers oAull,orized ON :Gonna Class midi, Post.

TELEGRAM WRITER WAS NATIVE SEAFORTH AREA Joseph Henry Fisher, 54, for years The Telegram's political co- respondent at the Ottawa press gal- lery and more recently chief editor- ial writer with the newspaper, died Sunday at Toronto ]Fait General Hospital. His death following an operation turned the final page on a lifetime of newspaper work which had be- gun at a small print shop in Sea - forth and ended at the top levels of Canadian journalism. Under the byline J. H. Fisher, he hacl written news stories and record- ed political trends for The Tele- gram over a 25 -year period. Since his return from Ottawa to write anonymously in the editorial col- ums, he had continued to write oc- casional signed articles on the edi- torial page. His enormous capacity for work, and a phenomenal memory and knowledge of government affairs, had stood not only himself but his colleagues in good stead in the realm of political criticism and as- sessment. Mr. Fisher's career of more than 30 years had been almost entirely With The Telegram. He started at the close of World War I as a suburban reporter, cov- ering the ,basics of newspaper work -1-the accidents, the courts, the dreary meetings, the speeches and spring floods, fires and crimes. With the fundamentals of gener- al reporting well learned, he took his 'first step towards political spe- cialization when he was assigned to cover the Toronto Board of Educa- tion. Then for almost 10 years he was senior reporter on his news- paper's City Hall staff. He was briefly at Queen's Pai•k and briefly city editor, and then, in 1932, be was given the press gallery assignment at Ottawa. His political sagacity, his nose for mews, hit'' wide acquaintance with legislators of every party stripe, and in particular his prodigious ra- pacity .for work, won him a repute - Hon as one of the soundest political writers on the continent. and earned his newspaper a place. of special re - sped on Pai'liament'•hiill. During the summer recess he Would return from Ottawa to fill in at executive posts.---mmiaging_ edit- or, news editor, city editor -in Tor - also with Mr. and Mrs. Y. Aldwinklt unto, In 1949 he returned permanently 'from Ottawa to write editorials and political commentary in the Toronto office. His impatience while working - and his friends said he would rather work than do anything else -was conspicuous. He would even wear his hat in the corridors because it fended off people who would delay him with foolish questions on the assumption' he was a civil servant. But when he permitted himself to be • off duty -a rare event in Joe Fisher's busy life -his colleagues and friends found him a particular- ly gracious host, a man with a capa- city for fun and conviviality they would not have suspected. He was born on a farm outside Seaforth, third son of a pioneer farmer Joseph Fisher, and he at- tended public school at Seaforth and business college at Chatham. But he was largely self-educated, with a love of reading which was second only to his love of hard work. Immediate survivors are his wid- ow, the former Marjorie Stewart of Ottawa. and a young son, Gerald. Also surviving are a sister, Mrs. Alma Cowan. of Detroit. and two brothers, Louis Fisher of Seaforth and Dwight Moody Fisher of Guelph, founder of the Western On- tario chain of Fisher hotels. The funeral was held Wednesday. from Trull Funeral Chapel, with burial in Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
