Seaforth town council Mon lay night, said he had an, option to .purchase the creamery and freezer locker pro- perty just south of the ONE tracks. Ile -old council he would dis- mantle the present creamery building and put up 'a cement block store for his grocery bush- less. He will re -open the freezer locker plant. Councillors were agreeable, They said Mr, Cooper could ap- ply for a building permit, which would be issued if the construct- ion details met the Building In- spector's approval. The creamery building with its massive chimney was originally built as the Seaforth electric power plant. After hydro electric power came totown fifty years ago it was converted to a cream- ery and operated until it closed a few months ago. ‘.....;.Councillors estimated there would be parking for about 20 cars. They said some of the pre- sent_ building was located on ONE property. Mr. Cooper completed purchase of the property on Wednesday. Metal Work In Ontex Plant ? Councillor Cardno reported that there were indications of increas- ing use of the former Ontex fact- ory on Market and Jarvis streets. Metal work might be more ex- tensive there and he was not sure that the neighbors altogeth- er approved of the project. Even at the present time quite a lot of metal working is being done at this plant. Councillor Cardno told council -'bout developments at the. Bell Industries where a new company was setting up. In a long range view this could attract secondary industries. Mayor Daly said officials had contacted him about sewage, and electric power, water and gas. Councillor John Flannery said the roof of the fire hall was still leaking. Councillor Thorpe Rivers re- ported on the street work. Mayor Daly asked if more oil was need- ed. Councillor Rivers said that so far no dust was flying, Coun- cillor Neil Bell said there was no sand, that three trucks had broken down. A resident at the west end of John Street wanted a new catch basin. Council considered a proposal to lay a sewer on part of High Street to connect with the private sewer on Market. Street. The P.U.C. has toP ut in a new water main and the town might put in the sewer at the same time, Councillor N. Bell reported bulldozing at the dump. Mayor Daly said that the public should be brought in on conditions at the dump. Councillors agreed that garbage collection by the town might only lead to head- aches and be no cheaper than the present system. Reeve Wm. Ball reported two families on relief. Councillor John Turnbull dis- cussed the sewage situation with council. He estimated that the work under consideration might cost $320,000. This would include a line from the north part of the town to the lagoon including a, force pump. Councillors i. ayght repaving the streets. would be extra. Councillors said. the sewer now in use had mostly been put under the alleys be- hind the stores and resurfacing was comparatively simple. To Modernize Railway Flasher Council received a "prelimin- ary" notice from the board of railway commissioners that the flasher at the ONE. tracks should be modernized. The cost was estimated at $19,000: Labor was $11,000 and materials $790, also engineering costs. Councillors did not think the work will be done until next year. , rx I4, al?tg ai.

Mayor E. Dalyresided. y .P Mayor Daly reported that the Public Utility Commission had put up "sample". lights on Main Street of the fluorescent type on steel standards that fitted the old bases.
