SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, liOVEMBER 15, 1935. Councillor Isaac Hudson Is Named Acting Reeve For Balance of This Year • • • • • Ditch Note Ditch digging at its best is a precarious business, but some- times additional complications set in, making the job all the more difficult. Such an instance was the one reported by Councillor `Thomas Purcell, chairman of the street committee, at the meeting of council on Friday night. It appears the Councillor had in- structed a 'workman to dig a drain at the north end of town, and on going bash a couple of days later found the- drain dug, but to the south rather than to the north. In its progress it had cut across a couple of drive- ways. Everything was satisfac- torily straightened out when the ditch was filled in and a new one commenced to the north. • • • 0 • • +Council Pays Tribute To Memory of Late Reeve, W.
