RESURFACING
Work of resurfacing portions

PROVINCIALS
CHECK TRAFFIC
Change Personnel Of
Town's Police
Detachment.
As a result of a recent re-
arrangement of personnel, Provin-
cial Police now stationed in Sea -
forth include P.C. I. D. Wade and
P.C. Max Grose. They replace
PC. Wm. Hodgson and P.C. Gor-
don Craig, who have been trans-
ferred to Mount Forest.
The new constables, both natives
of Peterboro, are veterans of the
•last war, P.C. Wade having serv-
ed in the navy, and P.C. Grose in
the army. Before coming to Sea -
forth they were stationed in Mount
Forest.
Both are married. P.C. Wade re-
cently moved into an apartment in
the Munn Block, while P.C. Grose
is waiting for accommodation be-
fore moving his family here.
Since coming to Seaforth the
constables have paid particular at-
tention to speeding at the east and
west ends of town on No. 8 High-
way, particularly in the area ad-
jacent to the Lions Park. As a
result of the attention being giv-
en traffic, several charges have
been laid and convictions obtain-
ed.
Speaking this week of the traf-
fic problems near the park, Con-
stable Grose pointed out that chil-
dren using the park contributed to
a dangerous condition when they
walked on the highway, rather,
than using the sidewalk, and also
when bicyclists rode two or more
abreast along the road. While chil-
dren and others who ignore the
regulations are being warned, it is
intended to lay charges if the prac-
tise continues.

Council•Postpones Action
On School Board Request:
Street Repair Program e,
Well Under Way, Com-
mittee Reports.
A decision on the request of the
Seaforth Public School Board to
purchase the new survey at the
western limits of the town for a
site for a new public echool, was
held over until the next council
meeting. This decision was made
at the regular meeting of the town
council Monday evening, because
three of the councillors were not
present to vote on the matter.
Those absent were Councillors B.
F. Christie, Wallace Ross and Dr.
E. A. McMaster.
In discussing the question of the
site for a new public school, Reeve
Sills pointed out that the survey
was the only producing property
the town has, and as $1,127.00 has
already been spent in developing
this tract of land, it should be kept
as originally planned -for housing.
He also said that as- yet he had
neither heard nor seen of a sur-
vey of the present building, that
is, whether it has been gone over
by a building engineer with a view
of determining the cost of neces-
sary repairs and alterations to put
it in first class condition. With
regards to seating accommodation,
the Reeve said that a kindergarten
was non-essential, and that the
room would provide additional
classroom space He was of the
opinion that the decision to build
a school should be made by the
ratepayers.
In his street committee report,
Councillor E. H. Close said that a
new sidewalk had been built -on
the west side of East' William St.
in front of the residence of Mrs.
J. J. Cluff. He also stated a cdm-
plaint had been lodged by two resi-
dents on North Main St. of two
horsemen using the boulevards as
a thoroughfare, instead of the
road.
In a letter from the Supertest
Petroleum Corporation, the com-
pany offered to bear 50 per cent
of the cost of a sidewalk in front
of their ,service station, providing
it was of the same material as the
parking lot of their station. Coun-
cil agreed to accept their proposi-
tion, but will insist on a curb be-
ing built at the corner. Mr. Close
also stated that the shrubbery at
First Presbyterian Church corner
was a driving hazard, and suggest-
ed council request the authorities
of the church to trim it back to
the street line.
A transient trader's license was
issued to John Rice. Building per-
mits to Bank of Commerce for
$6,000.00 to cover cost of a new
vault and interior decorations: to
I.O.O.F. for $400.0-0 for raising
roof; to Willies Howes for $3-50
garage, were confirmed.
A letter from the County Health
Unit was read. requesting the
cleaning up of the town dump.
The County Clerk notified coun-
cil of the date of appeal of Grey
Township on the equalized assess-
ment.
Signs Point To
Free Parking Space
Signs have been ,erected recent-
ly at the corner of Main and
Gouinlock Streets, pointing out to
the motoring public that free park-
ing space is available at Victoria
Park, one block east.
The signs are designed to en-
courage motorists to use the facili-
ties at the park and thus ease the
parking pressure on Main Street.
