Council Offers To Sponsor A
$1,000,000 Technical
Monday evening was budget
night at the regular meeting of
Seaforth town council. Most of
the meeting was taken up in re-
viewing last year's figures and
trying to estimate what,would be
required in 1961.
Councillor Dalton told council
ke had expected a delegate to tell.
council about the proposal to put
a vocational school in Huron. He
suggested Seaforth should offer
to `sponsor" the school the way
it does- the present high school.
He predicted it would cost a mil-
lion dollars, have 400 to 500 stu-
dents and forty teachers. It
might be built iii one of the sur-
rounding townships if not actual-
ly in town, as it would require
20 acres.'Council agreed to write
a letter concurring in these sug-
gestions.
All members were present. Ma-
yor Edmund Daly presided,
Moat of the estimatesfor the
present year were higher, but
council did not attempt to strike
totals.
The problem of providing sew-
er connections to residences on
Victoria street which were con-
nected to the pipe put down last
summer for the separate school
was discussed. Councillors said
the whole block had sewer ser-
vice now. Provision was made
for payment of $355 for this work.
Councillor Turnbull told coun-
cil the town would need the red
scavenger wagon for a long time
yet for pumping out cesspools,
$650 was required for tank, hose
and pump and another $100 for
an engine.
To use the power take -off from
the tractor to operate the pump
would require machine work and
be slower than an engine on the
pump. Mayor Daly said it was
hard to get a scavenger. It takes
six to seven hours to ladle out a
cesspool with the dipper by hand.
The pump and tractor could do
it in an hour. Details were left to
1,irouncillor Turnbull and commit-
tee.
Mayor Daly said' we were bud -
getting close to 100% of the esti-
mates and should leave some al-
lowance.
Last year charity and welfare
had been estimated at $2,700 and
actually it came to only $1,250.
This year's estimate was placed
at $2,500.
One expense in general admin.
School
istration council was told was a
non-recurring item, was $900.00
for the two liquor votes. An item
provided for this year was $300
for a new office typewriter.
Councillor Neil Bell asked_the
council to' provide for the purch-
ase of a loader this year, also
for $387 for the snow blower.
Councillor Turnbull said itwas
the most efficient way to load
snow; other towns using buckets
were finding ahe costs a lot high-
er. Property estimate, $7.800.
Council said the'. arena had
done well in its operations this
year. The town had paid the deb-
enture. Al] the notes have been
paid off. Councillors decided the
budget should not be trimmed
too close and the estimate for
grants was set at $6,500,
The town's bank interest is
paid under the heading of sund-
ries. Last year's estimated $4,500
went to $7,000, and council put
it at this figure for 1961. The ar-
rears of taxes cause these inter-
est charges.
Councillor Cardno said if we
can get people prepaying taxes
it will help a lot. $2,700 has been
pr;epayed. Council is looking for
$12,000 arrears from the tax sale,
The streets committee estimate
remains at $22,000, although last
year's budget was not all spent.
This will make allowance for ex-
tra street expense if sewer work
is done this year.
The fire brigade estimate is
$2,300 this year, which includes
$550 increase for the brigade,
and more than $300 for the new
air-pac and mask. Councillor
John Flannery reported the rural
truck had been in Stratford for
a week. He said a Fire School
would definitely be held at Sea -
forth.
Street lighting increased from
the estimated $4,600 last year to
actually $6,400. Council budgetted
$0,000 for 1961. The PUC intends
putting new fluorescent lights on
Main street early this summer.
Councillor Dalton said the rec-
reation ground needed draining,
also the band stand 'might need
repairs councillors said. The woof
was moss covered. Council put
the parks estimate at $300.
-Lengthy consideration was giv-
en the proposition to buy a load-
er for the town tractor. Two off-
ers were made, a Massey heavy
duty by A. Boyes, and alighter
