The question of bicycle riding on the sidewalks again arose. Council- lor Close thought that all bicycles should be licensed, so that all in- fractions could be traced to the of- fender, Mr. Close was requested to bring in a report on same as council was of the opinion that plates, would cost more than the revenue derived from their sale. In his park's report, Mr. Close asked for guidance as to how much he could spend on the park this year. Last year the council budget- ed for $500, but this wasn't spent, and council gave authority to pro- ceed with such work as he thought reasonable.

Reeve Sins• in the brief discussion, "that the more.,. we're squeezed, the more authority we lose," Councillor Crich raised the mat- ter of garbage collection again. He told council nee he had done a lot of work to date on the matter, and before doing any more, wanted to know if council was going ahead with it. Councillor Sillery pointed out that the backs of the Main St. were in a terrible condition, and that something should be done about cleaning them up. Reeve Sills said that the town has suf- ficient and adequate collection now and that there is no need for the town to have its own. Councillor Sharp presented a proposition, which, he said, would solve many town problems. He suggested the purchase of a trac- tor with various attachments, such as a snow blower. grader, bulldoz- er blade, rotating broom, etc. The tractor with a trailer would elim- inate the need of a town truck and at the same time do away with the necessity of having to contract for most of the snow removal and road work. Another councillor suggest- ed that the $300 a year it costs to feed the town horse would go a long way toward maintaining the tractor. Councillor Sharp was ask- ed to look further into the matter DAYLIGHT TIME The people of Seaforth will turn their clocks forward one hour at midnight on Sunday.
