ich street East out to where the as the Bruins were a battling outfit
Silver Creek leaves the town limits at
the edge of Egmondville.
Members of Council were all pre--
sent
re-sent and Mayor Keating. presided.
Councillor Norman Scoins, speak-
ing on behalf of the residents in the
South part of .Seaforth, pointed out
that this would only run more water
down to the south end of town and
cause worse floods in the vicinity of
the recreation grounds unless some-
thing is done to relieve the situation
there.
A report with plans of proposed
drainage schemes by S. W. Archibald,
engineer, was considered. Mr. Archi-
bald had stated he could not guaran-
tee this scheme would prevent flood-
ing in spring. The whole scheme if
adopted would cost over $5,000.
Council came to the conclusion
that flooding is worse now than in
earlier years due to numerous drains
from the townships dumping water
too rapidly into Silver Creek and
other main drains. It was recalled
that even with the old, dam in the
Bayfield river at Egmondville there
was never any trouble from flooding.
The treasurer's report 'indicated
that $2100 has been received to date
for tax payment.
A building permit was issued to W.
A. Ross for garage at his residence,
North Main Street, estimated cost
$1590. and a permit to erect new
sign granted Baldwin Hardware.
Peddlers license was granted to an
out of town photographer,
Councillor Close reporting for the
street committee said a broken tile
had been repaired on Market Street.
Charles Reeves had bought a pile of
wood from the town for $75. A dry
place for storing cement had been se-
cured at the Commercial hotel. Mr.
Close suggested putting in a catch
basin in front of the postoffice on
Main Street. Reeve Sills believed
filling the low spot with asphalt
would be cheaper as the drain is on
the west side of the street.
Councillor Christie, chairman of
lire and water committee, reported
that Fire Chief D'Orleon Sills under-
went an operation in the hospital on
Saturday and is progressing • favor-
ably. The matter of a fog nozzle for
the large fire hose was turned over
to the fire brigade.
Councillor Wallace Ross, chairman
of property committee, stated Mrs.
Dungey has given permission to put
up No'Parking signs in the alley be-
side the Town hall as called for by
the insurance company after a car
was damaged by ice from the hall
roof. The town horse had been indis-
posed and council recommended it be
kept in the town stable instead of
in the Bushie stable The committee
recommended the council chamber
and town cleric's, office be painted
and ,a flourescent light installed in
clerk's office. A request was pre-
sented from the Gun Club for a
small room for a meeting place.
Conned suggested use of the council
chamber, as other bodies such as the
athletic association are doing.
Councillor Christie complained
about the dumping of garbage in the
lane to the town clump. It was de-
cided to deputize Mr. Clarence Ma-
lone as special police to check on
ehicles entering the lane at nigh
and to prosecute offenders.
Reeve Sills reported four families
on relief.
Councillor James Stewart said he
had received complaints about boys
as young as twelve years frequent-
ing poolrooms. Mayor Keating said
he would speak to the police. , "The
police tell me; Mayor Keating said,
"that' eighty per 9osuut,,of�their trouble
comes from E jdondiylle." ,

ENGINEER ESTIMATES
DRAIN COST $4;000.00
The preliminary report of S. W.
Archibald, engineer, to Seaforth
town council re drainage, parts lots
24, 2.5, Cont. 1, McKillop Tp., now in
Seaforth; parts lots 9, 10, Con. 1,
H.R.S., Tuckersmith, now • in the
Town of Seaforth, and Silver Creek.
1. Further to my.letter of 28 June
1948 and my meeting with the street
committee early in February 1949, I
submit:
'.(a) That a sufficient outlet within
the meaning of the Municinal. Drain-
age Act can be obtained in my opin-
ion for a minor scheme at Silver
Creek and for a complete drainage
scheme at the . Bayfreld River just
south of the bridge on the diverted
road (in lieu of 2nd concession road
allowance) as shown on the accom-
panying preliminary plan and pro-
file.
'Cost of excavation only, exclusive
of culverts, damages, allowances,
clerical and engineering fees, I es-
timate at:
Minor scheme—$600.00
Complete se'heme—$4,000.00
(b) The content of my letter of
28 June is, I believe, sound in all
particulars. However, as a result of
further investigation in the field, in-
terviews with owners, written re-
quests from A. Harrison and others,
my opinion hes become more decid-
ed that in the interests of both ec-
onomy and efficiency, a sufficient pe-
tition under section 2 of the Munic-
ipal Drainage Act should, if possible,
he obtained. The area to be describ-
ed to be benefitted should comprise
lots 25, 26, Concessions 1 and 2
(both McKillop and Seaforth rate-
payers) and lot 10, Tuckersmith Tp.,
now in the Town of •Seaforth. --The
petition could bb presented to the
Council of tither municipality.
2. Immediate action to relieve
from flooding to some extent prop-
erties lying immediately north of
the Highway at Coleman street in
my opinion should consist of a minor
job of cleaning the approaches north
and south of the road. I do not con-
sider any considerable work advis-
able until more thought and effort is
put on finding a final solution for the
problem. For example, the location,
size and type of new culvert to cross
Highway No. 5 at the end of Coleman
Street, and the location, size and
type of the ditch away from it should
he carefully considered before an
open cut to the grade shown on the
profile is considered.
I estimate that the approaches
could be cleaned and an average of
about one foot three inches cleaned
out from the bottom of the present
ditches from Highway No. 8 to Silver
Creek for between $150 and $200.
An amendment to the Municipal
Drainage Act s.s. 2 of Sec. 2 to give
the authority in charge of the streets
of a city, town or village the same
right as the Department, county o1'
township, with respect to initiation
of drainage schemes is considered to
be desirable by all those with whom
I discussed it, but 1 doubt if the Act
will be so amended at the present
session.
