Wednesday got a momentary touch
of what the city folk accept as
commonplace -indoor water sup-
ply.
The Hensall waterworks, a pro-
ject started many months ago,
turned; on the system to test 'the
mains'. Although everything was
working well, it was turned off
again; services into homes have
not been completed and official op-
ening will not take place for three
weeks.
The system, for which deben-
tures amounting to $93,250 have
been sold, is being constructed by

jo to a tough assignment.
,]Pointing out the impossibility of
a4.y,rying out projects without _
nney, he stressed that it was the
d' and of the' ,public that led to
tie necessity of taxes. Taxes had
ii -eased, but not out of propor-
ti in with generally rising costs.
(teen years' ago, he said, the
t"ivn paid 25 cents' for labor; to -
muthe the rate is 70c per hour,
Reid reviewed the difficul-

ae, and felt that a comprehensive
s0beme for surface drainage would
be necessary.
Turning to the work of the coon- .
cis, the Mayor, expressed his ap-
preciation -of the co-operation ex-
tended him. He was of the opin-
ion every councillor should take a
ddfinite stand, and told of ossa ,
signs when Councillor Ross had
refused to vote. Recalling that

Councillor J. E. Beating, chair-
man of the Finance Committee, Dr • and Mrs. John Drover
told 'the meeting he had come to Guest of Honor At
Seaforth 25 year, ago and during
that time had seen a great -change Reception.
in the financial and industrial pic-
ture in the town.
"If we can keep up that trend,
taxes will be paid, your homes a:,-
sured'-you are going to prosper."
Ile said. .
Mr. Keating pointed out the ad-
vantages, of carrying a surplus, in
that it permitted major savings' in
interest and made -possible expen-
ditures when needed. Often, he
said, if such items are not attend-
ed to when they should be, the
ultimate cost is much greater.
The council controls the expen-
diture of only $18,00'0 out of
$67,009 collected in taxes„ the re-
mainder being spent by the coun-
ty, school boards and in payment
of debentures.
Mr. Keating stressed the neces-
sity of legislating for the interests
of all the citizens, not for any par-
ticular class or section.
Chairman of the Street Commit-
tee for the past two years, Coun-
cillor E. H. 'Close told the meeting
sidewalk construction had ,been de-
layed ,because of lack of materials.
He recommended permanentre-
pairs for drains, and stated that if
elected he hoped to get much of
the proposed work finished.
.He reviewed the street oiling
and told the meeting that because
materials were not. available until
September, it was decided to 'post-
pone oiling until early next year.
Councillor B. F. Cl}ristie, chair-
man of the Fire and Water Com-
mittee, spoke briefly. He expects
an agreement will be finalized with
Tuekersmith regarding fire protec-
tion in Egin-ondville.
Councillor E. A. McMaster spoke
of the work done in improving the
.Park and that, next year the pro-
gram which had been agreed on
would be completed. Predicting
an increase in industry, he point-
ed out rental ,housing had not
been proceeded with because of
changes • in government policy.
'He ,paid tribute to the work of
Councillor Close on the street
committee, and agreed with him
concerning action necessary to re-
pair drains on a permanent basis.
Councillor W. A. Ross, who an-
noli'need he would again -be a can-
didate, objected to the manner in
'.whibh The Park's Committee iaad'

Ile took exception to Mayor
