METERS Cooneil authorized the public works committee to look into the obtaining of parking inciters for Main street at their regular meet- ing Monday night. Committee chairman Dalton ire. Ported that a salesman from a parking meter firm had been in town. A double head type of me- ter costs $148 each. Installation is done by the company, The cost is paid ou a percentage basis out of the revenue until paid for. Af- ter that the town gets all the earnings. "The council might have to leave town for a month or so," someone suggested. Mr. Dalton said that some of the merchants who had opposed Parking meters, he understood now favor them. Mayor Daly said-.Mitcheli gets $5,600 revenue from their meters and are happy about them. Mayor Daly had information on low cost Housing. It was stat- ed that it is not usual in places under 5,000 population unless there are special circumstances. Councillor Angus MacLean be- lieved it should be looked into 'further. The highland Shoes factory is built to. make 4,000 pairs daily, but they can't get enough help to get production over 3,000 pairs. "Our wages are top for Ontario and Quebec in the industry," he said, and we need 50 more em- ployees. There are 20 employees driving from out of town because they can't get housing here, he said. Reporting for the general com- mittee, Chairman N. Cardno said a schedule of charges had been drawn up for rentals in the town hall. Ile suggested that town- ship councils be charged $10.00 a meeting. Charitable and ser- vice organizations could ineet free of charge, Organizations for profit, $10.00 a day. Dancing in- struction, $5.00 per month; Boy Scouts, $1.00 a year; euchre club, $1.00 a year. It was stated that Tuckersmith has paid $35.00 annually formany years. Other halls charge $20.00 in town. Details were left with the pro- perty committee. Councillor Cardno reported he and Mayor Daly had attended a recent meeting of the Maitland River Authority and had objected to the 50 percent proposed ass- essment for Seaforth. They bad been assured a survey would be made by engineers and the as - sass nent might be reduced to. only 15 Per cent. Clanton bad also made a vigor, ous Protest. Seaforth had sug- gested including the Bayfleld Ri. ver but Clinton didn't want to. Councillor Cardno said the ria ral areas would benefit most, Councillor Dalton said we will bo better off with 15% assess- ment instead of the 100% assess- ment with Bayfield River. 'Council decided to look into the town hall heating system la- ter, rather than wrap the pipes. Finance committee chairman Angus MacLean told of the re- cent meeting of the Midwestern Development Association, Finance matters concerning lo- cal school boards brought the suggestion by Councillor Cardno that a joint meeting of council and boards would be helpful, Mayor Daly said at present the town borrows money all year, to advance to the school boards. In December the boards pay back in a lump sum the debenture money. 15• the boards did not re: coat this money the town could still pay the debentures, and save the interest from borrowing. Councillors thought the new grants of $15,00 a head should go a long way towards financing the schools during the year. Chairmen Earl Dinsmore of the protection of persons com- mittee told of their efforts to cut down overhead. Over $100 could be saved by dispensing with the cleaning lady in the police office. $12.00 a month can be saved by cutting on the extra phones. At present there is a phone and ex- tension in the police' office, an ex- tension to the clerk's office, an extension ,to the chief's house and an extension to Constable Bates house. "I understand the police do not answer their phone when off duty," Mr. Dinsmore said. "And when on duty they are not at home, so I cannot see the need for these .phones." Council decided to try for a month having one phone in the police office and the extension in tate clerk's office. Councillor Dinsmore said the chief has done a good job in the past two weeks on the overnight parking ban: Council agreed to extend the enforcement to double parking. Tickets will be given fol+ double parking. Continued on Page 4 Walton Boy Is Regional Supervisor The Ontario Department of Highways News records the pro- motion of Frank R.

Pres., J. L. Ma. lone, who presided, said there were 1800 policyholders, and he assumed they were pretty well satisfied. Mr.. Malone said we are doing the best we possibly can, But larger attendence might bring new ideas and keep us from get- ting in arut. This was the 80th annual meeting, Increased business during the year was $1,400,000, Mr. Malone said. You might say this repre- sented increased values on the farm, but it also included 32 new policies. The surplus had gone up $15,000 a record to be proud of, he said, The board should not take the credit for the surplus increase, that belonged to the policyhold- er's, It is the policyholders who make a success of any company, he said• The secretary-treas., W.

They had ship- ped a number of other cattle that bad been in the stable, There was discussion about fire extinguishers. Mr, Craig said snow had been effective in ex- tinguishing the cover. Mr. Craig said that if there had been only a few cattle in the stable there probably would have been enough oxygen to keep the animals alive ' until the smoke cleared. But with the stable full of cattle there had not been en- ough oxygen for all the animals, Mr. Craig said ]re wondered why some sort of safe heater had not been developed to take the place of heat bulbs. Robert Archibald said any installation of heaters or lamps required proper wiring to carry the load. This applied to. hot water heaters.
