The motion by Councillors Earl Dinsmore and Angus MacLean was unanimously passed as fol lows: "That yearly salaries, which include pay for all statutory holi- days and vacations, for Town of Seaforth police for 1962 be as follows: Chief Hutchison, $4,000; Constable Bates $3,600; Cons- table Calder 83,300." Councillor Earl Dinsmore, chairman of the police commit- tee, reviewed events which had started in October when the coun- cil had asked for the resignation of the police following a request for a new contract on a higher salary basis. Subsequently it was found that negotiations were necessary and on Dec. 14th the police commit- tee had made an offer of $3,800, $3,380 and $3,220 to the police, to be inclusive of holidays and vacation. The police had made a counter offer of $4,200, $3,600 and $3,600, plus two weeks vacation with ,pay and 1 week statutory holi- days. This offer totalled up to $4,667.40, $4,033,00 and $4,033.00. �n Jan, 12, 1962, council re- peated their original offer, point- ing out that the 120 days for ne- gotiation expired Jan. 15th, and requesting the resignations of police to be effective Jan. 31st, if they were unwilling to arbit- rate. On Monday night the police gave notice that the wages go to arbitration. Neither side had given an inch, he. said. Mr. Dinsmore explained that to go to arbitrationinvolved agree- ment on au arbitrator. Failing such agreement, the attorney general would appoint one, the cost to be borne equally by town " and police. The matter might drag on for several months. The police and committee had several meetings Tuesday morn- ing and afterneton. Somebody had to give. "Your con-Mi't:tee made a pro- position, which the police have all signed," 'Councillor Dinsmore reported, presenting the agree- ment which council accepted af- ter some discussion. Asked for .a comparison of the old and new costs, Mr. Dinsmore. said the new agreement will cost 11 mins, what the police asked for was 14 mills, Clothing al- lowance will be settled at budget time. Mayor 'Daly -said we can now go ahead on a different footing. Councillor' Dalton• said he was not satisfied, but it was the best arrangement under -the circum- stances. Councillor Angus MacLean said -committee should be con- gratulated on what they accom- plished, Councillor Dinsmore said we have a whole list of things to go into now ',that :salaries are settled.
