With the municipal election
over Seaforth town council at

Study Diesel
Standby for Sewer
Councillor Turnbull said that
the sower pump to be located at
the corner of. ''crest William and
Goderich Streets would require a
- diesel generator 08 an auxiliary.
Councillors discussed a location
• for it along the block on W, Wil•
, liatrr St, between Godorieh St.
• and James St. It would need a
low building about 7 x 10 feet,
It was expected that the power
linos for the pump would be con-
nected through this building,
Councillors said the pump
would be in a round three-foot
structure. It will have two five
horsepower motors, only one of
which will run at a time. Coun-
cillore said they would not be
surprised if it was spring before
the sewer work started,
Councillor Turnbull said he
was concerned about what would
happen when work started on
Goderich St. Town Clerk Wilson
reported that the department of
highways had made a number of
inquiries concerning the cost of
the proposed work on Goderich
Street.
Councillor Brady thought the
highways dept. wanted to in-
clude their sharp of the cost in
this year's budget. Councillors
said we should consult the de-
partment about this,
In answer to a question Town
Clerk Wilson said the street be-
longs to the town but the depart.
Ment will pay their share for the
connecting link.
Council Turnbull remarked it
looked as if it is put in the sewer
first and then do the highway
on a separate contract.
Councillor Bell wanted to know
if a former council had not asked
the department not to pave the
street until the sewer was in.
That was why the street was not
done when the rest of the road
had been done.
Councillor Cardno suggested
finding out from the Ontario Wa-
ter Resources Commission what
they would do.
Mayor Daly proposed getting
in touch with the highways office
in Stratford.
Council Turnbull thought it
was not wise to do a repaving
job for a time after a sewer was
laid, They should put in a lot of
crushed stone.
Councillor John Flannery said
people around Victoria Park were
asking where they were going to
dump all the snow this year.
Councillors discussed putting a
holiday display in the park an-
other year,
Councillors reported bids for
two lots at Mill and Brantford
Streets. Owing to uncertainty
about terns council decided to
call for new tenders.
Council discussed a report from
the high school for more street
lights in the vicinity. Councillors
thought some of the present
lights from Main street might be
moved there. •Patting fluorescent
lights on Main Street is now un-
der consideration. The PUC will
be asked for a recommendation.
A letter from the department of
public works stated that there
were three vacant offices in the
post office building which were
not needed for government use,
and that they would be offered
for rent, The department inquir-
ed about the amount of taxes
payable when rented to the pub-
lic.
A grant of $1000 was made to
the fire brigade.
Council discussed the problem
of plowing sidewalks, especially
those leading to the schools. The
council may experiment with dif-
ferent types of snow blowers.
Before the close of the meeting
Reeve Ball extended a few words
of appreciation to Councillor Paul
Brady who retires from council
at the end of the year.
Raise Fire Brigade
Strength to 15
The chief said three more men
would be added to the roll at the
first of the year. He said all
equipment was in good shape, In
answer to a question he said the
brigade had 13 men on the roll
., present. Councillors had a
word of praise for Jack,
Council discussed the town's
financial situation. Mayor Daly
said the amount of taxes in ar-
rears had been dropping steadily
during recent months and were
now away down.
Mayor Daly said he was afraid
people would forget that the sec-
ond instalment of the 1960 taxes
were due on December 15th.
Councillors said a penalty was
added to all unpaid taxes on the
16th. A proposal by Councillor
Brady to extend the deadline for
a few days was opposed by
Reeve Ball and Councillor Card -
no. They contended taxes in ar-
rears would not be affected by
extending the deadline, A motion
for an extension was defeated,
Councillor Thorpe Rivers gave
a report on the streets. Snow had
been removed from Main Street
for the Santa parade, and they
had tried out a snow blower.
Councillor Neil Bell said the
dump had been bulldozed. He had
received a complaint about the
ceiling in the police office.
Councillor Bell said they had
bought a tractor for $1500 and it
was a real good buy, it was only
two years old.
Mayor Daly said ho regarded
the purchase of a tractor as a
long term view of the town's
needs. Next they should get a
suitable loader for the tractor.
Consider Purchase
of Digger
Mayor Daly said the town had
spent a lot of money on ditching.
In recent years there had been a
lot of improvement in diggers.
Formerly it was a lengthy com-
plicated job to attach a digger
to a tractor, and once mounted
the tractor could be used for
nothing else. Now it was possible
to get a digger that could be at-
tached or detached from a trac-
or in three minutes. He had been
consulting the P.U.C. about it
and they said they could use a
digger. Councillors thought per-
haps the P.U.C. could buy the
digger and the town would sup-
ply the tractor.
Councillor Rivers said the PUO
would be digging up miles of
rusted pipesin the next 5 years.
4ayor Da_ly said that diggers
were just a new development and
would widen the town's use of the
tractor.
Reeve Ball reported on relief,
one case at present. Councillors
said there had been a lot of build-
ing in town this year.
Mayor Daly said he had noticed
surveyors at work on North Main
Street. Reeve Bali said North
Main Street is slated for improve-
ment by the county but not for a
few years. Councillor Cardno
said the jogs on the North road
north of the new bridge are to be
eased.
Reeve Ball said Huron County
had too many miles of road in the
county system for its population.
The province will not take over
any more roads as provincial
highways, Reeve Bali said the
road from Kipper to Wroxeter
mos slated as next in line as a
development road. The county
would do the work and retain the
road but the province would pay
100% of the costs of the improve-
ments.
Mayor Daly read the police re-
port. Councillors discussed the
operation of the police depart-
ment.
Councillor John Turnbull re-
porting for the sewer, said the M,
A. Reid estate property on North
Main Street was paying sewer
taxes although hot connected.
Mayor Daly suggested that this
should be rebated. Councillors
thought there must have been a
verbal agreement with Mr. Reid
before he died to connect to the
sewer but it had never been car-
ried out,
Councillor Turnbull told coun-
cil that engineers from the Mac -
Laren firm had been in town
since the last council meeting to
locate storm sewers and other
underground hazards to the pro-
posed sewer in the northwest
part of town,
Mayor Daly said Councillor
Brady had always been of great
assistance to council, especially
during the last few months, and
we hope he will be able to come
back again later.
Councillor Brady thanked the
council for their kind words.

Dr. J. C. MacLennan of the
health of animals office here said

from Ottawa that a skunk found

animal had been discovered some
time ago,
"This proves rabies is still

THE LEGION CORNER
By Jack Holland
We11 comrades each day brings
us closer to the festive season
and the Legion is arranging par-
ties for old and young alike. Due
to popular demand Chuck Woods
is going to conduct another tur-
key bingo this Saturday night.
This will be our last turkey bingo
for this year and if requests are
any guide we will have another
bumper crowd so keep this date
in mind, Also Jack Eisler is start-
ing his hockey program this com-
ing weekend and he would ap-
preciate if all those wishing to
participate could be present to
get registered. Our election for
the new executive for 1961 was
held last week and you will find
the slate of officers elsewhere in
this column. Am sure that I am
speaking for the Legion as a
whole when I say that we are
sorry that Archie Dobson, due to
school duties, would not stand as
our chief executive for another
year. Archie did a real bang-up
job as our President this year
but we have another fine Presi-
dent in Allan Nicholson.
To get back to the small fry,
Santa Claus will be here at the
Legion Auditorium for our an-
nual Christmas party this com•
ing Sunday afternoon, There will
be entertainment and gifts for
all the kiddies of the district and
local Legion members, so bring
then along. And also do not
forget to turn in the names of
any needy families to either
Jake Cornish or Dave Wilson for
the Legion Christmas food bask-
et. So let's not forget the coming
events. Saturday night—turkey
bingo; Saturday morning—regis-
tration for hockey per Jack Eisler.
Sunday afternoon Christmas
party for the veterans' children.
A thought for the ones left in
foreign fields, at the going down
of the sun and in the morning we
shall remember then$.
