A useful light went out when !Alex's hands and mind were stilled. He will be missed—no one an quite ta,ke his place in the vil- a.ge. He will be remembered for the xample he set his fellowman, of onesty, industry and a strpng sense r responsibility to his community.e One becomes so accustomed to th abitual that a break in it imtnedt- tely presents a void. The work of he later Alex Lillico was something we perhaps took for granted and ex- erted to continue for the rest of our ves. As a personality, Alex was unique., ever too busy. to stop for a 'chat, or wap a tale. his good humour never failed him. His bigness wae that he aw life in little things. It was char- eteristie of him that he wb,g Cheerful 11 the day he died; he kept his chin p, planning for the future.

APPOINTMENT chase of Building Lots For Resale To Veterans. , 1 Seaforth tax rate will be 46.7 mills, an increase of 5.2 mills over • 1947, council. decided at its meeting Mon- day night as estimates presented by the finance committee were accepted. Rate for Separate School supporters will be 45.1. ,All members of council, except Councillor W. T. Teall, who is on holidays, were present. Mayor M. A. Reid presided. In presenting the estimates, Coun- cillor J. S. Keating, chairman of the finance committee, pointed out that the cost of materials and labor nec- essary to the"operation of the town,. had risen in the sante mariner as had the cost of operating the average home. In addition to the over-all cost of operation, the town was faced with additional expense in eSnneetion with the purchase of a dump and repairs to the Town Hall. Of the total increase, all but 2.7 mills Is accounted fof by expenditures not controlled by council. The High School rate increased .9 mills and the Public School from 8.5 mills -to 10.1 mills. The rate is based on estimated ex- penditures of .$81,864:00. Council was informed approval had been given the purchase of 42 lots be- tween Goderich and Market Streets for resale to veterans desiring to er- ect residences. Applications for lots facing on Goderich Street, from Fred Dinwoodie, and Cecil J. Lemon were approved by council. Lots will be sold at $10, subject to certain condi- tions to be laid dowtt regarding type of construction. Council agreed to go over the property at an early date. •Building permits were,granted Wm. Bradshaw for a greenhouse on Market Street at $200, and to Harvey Mein wain fora residence, North Main St., $2.000. A resolution from the Seaforth Wo- men's Institute, asking that play- ground equipment be placed in Vic- ctoria Park, was not acted on, council feeling that the park should be con- sidered as a memorial • park rather than a playground. A petition from residents. on Rail - •w -ay Street, asking for an additional street light. was referred to the street committee. It was felt that an exist- ing light could be relocated to pro- vide necessary relief. When the lights[ went out halfway through the meeting, councif carried on its deliberations by the light of a gasoline lantern provided by ,Council- lor B. F. Christie, Necessity for trimming trees on Seaforth streets was raised by Reeve F. Sills, but Councillor E. H. Close, chairman of the street committee, ex- plained that it had not been possible to do the work because -of shortage of help. Council instructed the Mayor to pro- claim Monday, August 2, as Civic holi- day. A by-law regulating barbers was given final reading and passed. The by-law confirmed regulations set out by the district association. Approval was given a grant of $1010 to the Agri- cultural Society with an additional amount of $25 to assist with the Shorthorn field day being held in con- junction with the Fair. By-law 493 regulating hawking and peddling, setting a $2.00 licehse fee, was given final reading. The by-law was made necessary by recent amend- ments to the Municipal Act and .pro- vides protection to focal merchants. In a letter to' council, Town Engin- eer S. W. Archibald discussed steps that could be taken to ease the flood- ing that obtains in certain parts of town. While it is doubtful if the sit- uation could be corrected without en- tering into a scheme, the cost of is Melt would be prohibitive, council agreed to have Mr. Archibald meet with it so the entire situation Could be thoroughly discussed.
