UNJUST CRITICISM
The unfair criticism by Mr, Parkes
at the nomination meeting on Mon-
day night, whether rriade in his own
interests or for the benefit Of others.
over our attitude in the 1930 council
over the new fire alarm system, wat.
entirely uncalled, for and here are
the facts.
In April, 1929, the Fire, Brigade
asked Mr. Parkes, or the .council, to
have the 'existing fire alarm system
overhauled and -repaired. Nothing
was done until the fire at the Bel!
plant about the month of A4gust,
when the request of the firemen was
remembered and the council gave Mr.
Parkes a free hand to purchase a
new system. There is not one iota
on. -the council minutebook authoriz-
ing, the purchase of the new system
and our endeavors to have the cor-
res-po-ndence .filed with Town Clerk
Wilson were voted down, the mayor
(voting to tie things up. The Fire-
men did not ask for a new system
and when the new system was ready
to he hooked up, a trial of the old
one proved 100 per rent. correct.
Extras added to the new system ran
the cost up -to about $4,000.00; de-
bentures were issued for $3,000.00,
and the balance paid outs of 1930
funds. The new system was not re-
quired and costs mounted up, install-
ing parts-, then beefing them out,
the expenses of the experts., etc.,' so
much so that to cover up the exces-
sive costs, items pertaining to the
new system were slipped into Fire
Brigade and Hydro. All, letters per-
taining to the new system were car-
ried by Mr. Parkes instead of being
filed with the town clerk, and all our
endeavors to have them placed on
file proved futile. The attitude we
took was to save the ratepayers
money and not spend it for a system
not required, and we will do so again
with any move- for a 'sewage .system
or for a survey for one, which means
more money, to the last muskrat
ditch.

Mr. and Mrs. SydneyJacobs, two
of the oldest and most -highly esteem-
ed residents of Seaforth, quietly ob-
served the 60th anniversary of their
wedding at their home on Christmas

don Township and came to Egmond-
ville when 17 years of age, where he

was efitployed afterwards for some
years with Johnstone Bros.,

into'business on his own account. Mrs.
Jacobs, whose 'maiden name was Em-
ily Brownell, was lborni in the Town-
ship of Osnabrook, -Stormont" Coun-
ty, and came to Seaforth with her
brother, Joseph BrOsynell, in 1869.

a few years in Bowmanville and
Stratford they have spent over half
a century, Although over the four
score mark, Mr, and Mrs. Jacobs are
still remarkably active and able to
attend to all their duties, and also
cultivate a beautiful garden. They

ued members of Northside United
