Finley Following the inquiry into the death last week of George R. Fin- ley, 41, Clinton, on 'the farm of Prank Tamblyn in Hullett, a -cor- oner's jury Monday found the H.E. PC. employee died 'by electrocution while working on a hydro pole. The jury placed joint responsibil- ity for Finley's death on. Earl D. Bruder, 'Clinton, a regular foreman, and Earl Ciceri, also of 'Clinton, a sub -foreman. The inquest was conducted by Dr. F. G. Thompson, Clinton, Huron County coroner. The five -man jury deliberated an hour and 25 minutes, following examination of evidence and the testimony of 11 witnesses, before reporting its findings. The jury reported that the acci- dent Was caused by failure of the foreman in charge of the party of men, including Finley, who were working on several poles in the area, th ascertain that all men were away from the poles and pro- perly mustered before the power was turned on. According to jury's findings, the power was turned on too soon. The jury also noted that there was conflicting evidence on whether Bruder or. Ciceri was actually in charge, as both were giving orders and may have failed between them- selves to ascertain who was in charge and therefore responsible for getting the men off the poles before the power was turned on. Findings of the jury also contain- ed a recommendation that hydro of- ficials see that in the future 'stricter observance be accorded' the orders which determine who is in charge in such a case. • Dr. Thompson was assisted by Crown Attorney Glenn Hays, Q.C., Goderich, and 'Constable Hel- mer Snell, Seaforth. �I NATIVE RETIR.S The man who "put Canada on the maps," Bruce W,.

The motion, passed following dis-• cussion arising when a letter was read outlining Council's reasons for not accepting the old school on terms laid down by the Board, reads: "That the School Board retain the old public school 'building and property, temporarily, until the 1954 Council takes office. The 1953 Public School Board recommends to the 1954 Board that the same proposal be submitted to the 1954 Council, the Board being of the opinion that sidewalks are essen- tial for the safety of the children." Reasons For Refusal Text of the Council's letter, read by Secretary M. McKellar, revealed that new sidewalks on Market and Goderich Streets could not be ex- tended to the new school property because: the work had not been budgeted for, and there was no money available; as a local im- provement agreement would be needed from property owners af- fected by the extension; and, the letter concluded, in complying with a request by the Board' earlier to widen Market Street to the school the 'Council understood this im- provement was agreed on in lieu of sidewalks being laid. The letter', in effect, signified Council's refusal to accept, free of charge to the town, the old school building and property on condition that sidewalk extensions be made on Goderich and Market Streets in- to the new school property. This contingency formed a clabse in the motion the Board made last month in an action designed to realize tax benefits for ratepayers through sale- of the building -and property byAtfhteer ttohwenietter• was read, W. T. Teall remarked: "We gave our de- cision, that's my decision too. Let's drain the old school, leave it, and make the proposal to the new Coun- cil." Question's Council's Letter Chairman Fred E. Willis agreed with Mr. Teall, but questioned the cost of maintenance if the building were let sit. Following this query, a short discussion was held on what the sale price of the building might be, Mr. Willis and Mr. Teall ques- tioned the inference by the Council that property owners in_question wouldn't be agreeable to sidewalk extensions. Mr. Willis added that he wondered why the Council themselves didn't leave the ques- tion over for a new Council to con- sider. When we're giving Council six, eight or ten thousand dollar build- ing, surely they can give us a few hundred dollars in sidewalks, the chairman continued. As well, he pointed out, the Board bought con- siderable property from the town for the- new school. As Mr. Teall repeated that the "Beard. should approach the new Council at a time when it couldn't say estimates for the work can't be made, 'Clifford Broadfoot in- quired why the extensions couldn't be classed as repairs, not as local improvement. Then, he indicated, affected property owners wouldn't be required to pay 60 per cent of the cost, "Bone of Contention" Chairman Willis, remarking that the matter "is going to be a bone of contention," wondered how the ratepayers would receive the issue at a public meeting. In view of the Council's stand, he wondered pos- sibly the building and property should be sold to the highest bid- der, However, he added, the Board realizes the ratepayers are entitled to benefit. "I think the Council just wants to be bullheaded about this," Mr. Teall stated, and offered to make the motion that the Board hold on to the school for now and make an approach to a new Council. Agree- ment prevailed among members and the motion was made by Mr. Teall, seconded by Mr. Broadfoot. Early in the meeting the Board reviewed individual cases of Sea - forth non-residents with children in the Public School. In several cases it was decided 'by members that payment in town of business tax alone does not exempt a non-resi- dent from attendance fees, Muni- cipal Clerk D. H. Wilson, present at the Monday meeting, explained the position of the Board and the non-residents, under sections of the Public School Act,' in regard, to col- lection of attendance fees. In the same reference, a letter from In- spector J. H, Kinkead was read at the meeting. TO Form Safety Patrol After building and general ac- counts were passed, members die- euesed the feasibility of erecting a fence or backstop on the dividing, line of the school playground pre* erty and the property 'of Orville Oke, Gtoderieh St, Although.
