Atwood Thursday evening at Seaforth in group finals 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 UDPC Patrons Receive Dividends .
