Holds Three Meetings On
First Three Days
Of This Week.
•Seaforth's town council worked ov-
ertime this week, holding a meeting
.on each of the first three days of 'the
week. Unfortunately for the' coun-
cillors, they only get paid for 'the
_regular meeting Monday- night, ac-
cording to the bylaw passed earlier
this year. The meetings Tuesday and
Wednesday v(rere free.
Monday night the regular April
meeting was held. Tilesday afternoon
the council met adjusters from the
insurance company which carries the
town's public liability policy and dis-
cussed responsibility in two recent
accidents on Seaforth streets.
Representatives of the Seaforth
Holding Syndicate met council Wed-
nesday, re Aeon Chests. Certain points
had beef raised in a letter to town
from the Avon Chests trustees and
it was to clear these up 'that coup-
til on Monday night determined to
eall the special meeting Wednesday.
• 3ens'kiterapble diseusaion also took
place at this meeting concerning the
admission of indigent patients to lo-
cal hospitals and the responsibility
of Seaforth to pay ,its, share.
The system now in vogue has been
that the hospital notifies the county
clerk who has the account okayed by
the. Reeve of the municipality, who
investigates the case. The county
then pays the account and proceeds
to collect one-half from the munici-
pality in .which the indigent is resi-
dent. The local council objected and
claimed it should have more say in
who was and who was not an indigent
before being saddled with the ac-
count.

A gloom was east over our burg
last Tuesday whep, it was• learned
of the sudden death of Mr. Isaac
Bolton, in his 74th year. Mr. Bol-
ton was about as usual and had din-
ner, safterwerd's lying down for a
zest, when suddenly his breathing be-
came heavy. Mars. Bolton realized
the sudden change and immediately
sent for the doctor, who found him
in an unconscious condition and all
efforts to restore him proved of no
avail. Mr. Bolton was lowed by all
who knew him as he was honest in
all this dealings and always of a gen-
ial disposition. Much sympathy goes
out to the bereaved family in this
their hour of sail affliction.
The maple syrup s•easen came to a

TAXES ARE NOW PAID
Aidaition l •paving for Seaforth
streets was anooted at the regular
April Council meeting Monday night.
Arrangenveuta were also begun to ob-
serve the King's Jubilee on May 6th.
All members of council, excepting
Councillor 'Broderick, who is still con-
fined to hospital, were present. May-
or Sutherland presided.
A htidge•podge • of relief, indigents
and horse shoeing occuipi'ed the first
hour of the meeting. New regale -
dens governing medical 'relief were
dismissed and explained by .Mayor
Sutherland;, the relief. officer. Form-
erly doctors were paid 50 per .bent.
of regular charges for work outside
hospitials; nothing for 'work in hos-
pitals. . The new regulations provide
that. the town will pay 25 oents per
month per :person on relief to a cen-
tral doctor's committee, who will
pass on and pay individual doctor's
accounts. .;In the case of 'Seaforth,
where there are 118 people on re-
li• f, the cost amounts to $29.50, a
saving over the former system and
at the _ same time considerably redw-
ing the pay of the doctors:
Mayor Sutherland, who had taken
part in a broadcast from Wingharn
that day, ;explained) the system in
vogue there. Wingham, he pointed
out, had paid $2,053.00 for relief since
last: December 1st.
In presenting the relief report for
the month of March, the Mayor
pointed out that while the total cost
had been $577.52, the net cost to the
town was only $82.43. There are, he
said, 26 families and 92 dependants
on relief. The gross amount was di-
vided as follows: Food $33$,76, fuel
$193.46, shoes and clothing, $5.85,
'household remedies $3.95, medical
servides levy $29.50 and optical ser-
vices $5. Of the gross amount
$577.52;the Government pays $385.51,
Lions Club, ' milk, $13.60; Township
of Tucker -smith, 1 family, $7.75, and
worked out $88.73, leaving a net cost
to the town of $82.43. ' '

Two bills from Heron County for
