U.° COMMISSION Seaforth citizens • Indicated their approval of the manner in which, the town's business had been conducted in. 1936 by returning all members of the coureil by acclamation at the nomination meeting held' in,, the Town Hall. Monday .evening. While the meeting was well at- tended, there was' seething like the in- terest displayed a year ago when 41 Der -son's wore nominated for the var- ious offices. , At 8.30. when nomipations closed, clerk J,. A. Wilson, in his 'capacity as returning officer, announced the fol- lowing to be nominated: Mayor-A'Sutherland. ' , D.Suthe la d. Reeve -J. H. Scott. •CounciTiors--M. A. Reid, 3-3.

Ar -drew Archi- ball and Robert Scarlett. Mas'or •Sutherland was the first sneaker and reviewed' the business' of the town in a comprehensive manner, The Manor paid tribute. to the untir- ing work of 'Clerk J. A. Wilson, re- ferring to him as a ".pretty' good- old scout." The Seafortli Highlanders Band and the Seafortli Fire Brigade were also, complimented, the former for its en- tertainment, and the latter, its se- curity. Reeve J. H. Scott followed the Mayor. Chairiaab, of the Street Com- mittee in 1936, Reeve Scott'told of the work of that committee. • More criticism is directed against. a 'Street committee than any 'ether, the Reeve stated. the reason being that any works of the committee were always• before the public's . gaze. Early. in. the year the committee had found it necessary to introduce cer- tain regulations governing drains: The gist of these were .that property owners using • town drains as an out- let for cellars must pay the cast of any labor necessary to repair the out- let. The town, however, pays for any tile required. The plan was working well; the Reeve stated, e,nd appeared to be meeting with satisfaction. • Another case of ehe street commit- tee was• the •preservation of .Sea. forth's Sea- forth's splendid trees. • The ,committee had kept well with- in its estimates for the year, the chairman told, the meeting. Estimates were $2,200 while expenditures were slightly over $1,800. . Improvements to Main Street side- walks were imperative • and during 1-98-7 something would have to be done towards replacing ther• e. • Reeve Scott concluded his remarks shown by the remarks of the Inspec- tor when herelast week, that •in Janie ary there were over 2,000 families on •relief in Owen Sound alone, but now ' there were not 2,000 fatnilies throughout the Counties of Grey (in- cluding OWen .Sound), Bruce, Huron and Middlesex (excepting London Oity) on relief.
