Bo' 01011e 84 Seaford'', Ontario, Thursday, November 15, 1962 The Seaforth s ends P ews c« This is the final issue of The Seaforth News, In future the facilities of the plant will be devoted entirely to commercialprinting. The modern trend is towards specialization, and we are taking a step in that direction. Production. costs of an up-to-date news-. paper have increased greatly in recent years. An xample noted, is that two large Huron county newspapers, each with sub- scription rates of $4.00 a year, are present- ly abandoning letterpress printing, and are experimenting with photographic produc- tion, in an effort to reduce costs. To the hundreds of subscribers who re- sponded with renewals in recent months, we say thank you, and the only regret is our inability to continue a low subscription price paper. If you are paid in advance, ad- justment will be made in the near future. On the other hand, if your account is due, early settlement will be appreciated. And thanks is due to advertising customers over the years. Last but not least, to the many faithful correspondents, some of whom have con- tributed to the columns of the paper for many years, we express gratitude. Finally, we might 'add that we will con- tinue to do business at the old stand and will be pleased to serve you when in need of printing of any kind.

Boiler repairs at the town hall will exceed the 6800 estim- ate, Councillor Angus MacLean, fin- ance chairman, reviewed the pro- gress report which showed that council was underspent about $1,400 on the overall budget for the year, Total taxable assessment, real property is 61,628,104.78, a net in crease of about 650,000 over 1961, - The number of persons on th essessment roll is 2,352.

Councillor Dinsmore suggested making a grant of 61,500 on 0011- dition a le skating admission prices be reduced for evening skating for kids, A family with four youngsters finds it a herd- s m at present rates, he said. Other councillors bit that townships ahould help out, be- cause rural children are also using the rink. Councillor Dalton. said the townships won't subsidize the arena, Councillor Cardno said it is Seaforth that always pays, Mayor Daly reminded council that the town is paying off the annual debenture on the arena O'er and above a subsidy. Reeve Ball said we are fortun- ate in Seaforth we don't have to pay more, Councillor MacLean suggested paying the $1,000 requested and sending a letter suggesting cut- ting the price Friday and Satur- day nights to 15e.
