The Story of the Seaforth Sewage System A Statement on Behalf of the Seaforth Town Council The' need for a sewage system in Seaforth is not recent' or new. The Department of Health have talked about it for years, Two years ago a Department engineer investigated the town, and after his investigations showed me several drains in the town carrying raw adulterated sewage. We have been very fortunate thatsa typhoid epidemic has not begun in Seaforth. I definitely felt that the town did not immediately need and wild not afford a system for the entire town. After many discussion by the Council with the Health Unit, Dr. Berry, and engineers from the Department 'of Health visited the town and later gave the Council per- mission to carry out the present scheme. It was deoided by the Council to investigate the possibilities of a system to take Care of the present critical areas only, such as' behind the Main Street stores, where there is not sufficient ground area to install enough weeper tile. That is our present plan. A system for the entire town would be advisable, and the Council would like to see it done, but our ability to pay for it is certainly questionable. It is alright for people to say we can borrow ,another $200.000 or $400,000, but if you. as a taxpayer, will look at your taxes of 71.4 mills in 1953. and 74.3 mills in 1954, I think you will agree with the Council when they decided against a total coverage which would have added another 15 or 20 mills to your present rate. The whole town has been surveyed by Graham Reid and Associates, and sufficiently large trunk sewers are being installed to take care of the entire town. The treatment system is being built sufficiently large to take care of our needs for possibly five years. and this esti be added to with nothing wasted, to give complete treatment in the future. Tbe Council have been assured by the engineers and others that the plan for treatment will be safe and will make Silver Creek safer than it is at the present time. Tbis system, when installed, will take care of drainage from the cellars of those attached to it. As to the cost of this system, the capital cost will be $95.000. The annudl upkeep is estimated, by those who should know, at $1,500 to $2.000. The money would be raised as (1) The amount of your present water rate annually for those served only. (a) 15c a foot frontage for private homes, only where sewage system passes property. An additional 25c per foot frontage Lax for those paying business tax where sewage system passes. (3) Tbe remainder. a variable amount, will be collected over the whole town, In this way, those who are unable to avail themselves of sewage facilities will be paying the amount which will be their equity in the treatment system and the trunk sewers which will be available for them in.the future. Those who have the use of the system will be pay- ing the major amount. The Sewers 4\111 be installed by the B. C. Cons,truction, of Niagara -on -the -Lake, and a start will be made immediate- ly. The plant will be installed by Sparton Company,. of Toronto, and they also will be at work at once. Our Council meetings are open to every taxpayer and we would be glad to have you. sit in with us ,and eee how your business is conducted. A very complete aoverage is always printed by the local press. They are to be congratu- lated on the fine way they have covered the work of the Seaforth Council. A number of our debentures will be paid off shortly, and it is my hope that extensions can be made in your system in the near future. Sewage systems are now a real necessity and not a luxury, as expressed by the Ontario Municipal Board on Monday, July 5th. The town does not stand still. It either loses ground or progresses, and I can assure you that. I will] work hard for..your town's progress in the future. 9 a construction hamlet sprang up outside our old walls to give us a new auditorium.

Previous to the overworked idea of Easter exams, there was a bur- ley -burley preparation for Variety Night. The idea was a complete new venture for the S.D.H.S. clan and as a result needed careful pre- paration. Heading the limelight was the Drama Club's one -act Play, which required months of steady' practise. The basic fundamentals were all set before the judgment day crowded out the extra curri- cular activities, The Friday evening just before being crowded into confinement, the Seaforth Lions Club played. host to, a district public speaking contest.

Wat- son, Ontario Livestock Commis- sioner told members of the Huron County Soil and Crop Improve- ment Association's twilight meet- ing at the Huron County Home Monday evening. Canadians have shown a strong preference for beef with about 30,- 000 cattle a week being marketed at present, compared with 22,000 in 1952. The year 1951 saw cattle sell at record prices, with one load sell- ing for $39.50 a hundredweight, an all-time high, Beef consumption has increased because.L,it is more attractively Packed and housewives are budget- ing according to income. Mr. Watson predicted the pres- ent drought would' force a lot of cattle on the market within the next few weeks. It is possible, he said, there will be a heavy liquida- tion of cattle, The same condition exists in United States markets, he said. He urged farmers to find pas- ture and hold their., cattle off the market to ease the, situation. Relative to the hog situation, Mr. Watson said prices were satis- factory although marketings were lower. At present 90,000 to 100,000 hogs are being marketed weekly with 6,000 to 7,000 hogs a week going to the United States. Of the wheat crop. he said there were now 634,000.000. bushels of wheat in storage at Canadian ele- vators and on the farms — the amount grown in 1953. He said 140,000,000 bushels are required a year for livestock feed and products consumed by the pub- lic He predicted that within two months Canada will have one billion bushels of wheat. Sales last year were slightly lots er than other years owing to the fact that buyers of some ccuntries purchased smaller quan- tities, hoping for fower prices. Earlier, farmers examined a rod row of oats and barley variety.test THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE New Massey -Harris Clipper with Motor Never used, but weathered; greatly reduced New Massey -Harris 12' Swather—Weathered Greatly reduced to clear Used International 62R Combine Motor, pick-up, scourkleen; used one year. / A real buy!

E. A. McMASTER, Mayor. Seaforth Motors Phone 541 Seaforth In 1932 there were 313 wo- men in Ontario convicted of drunkenness. out of a female population of 1,085.214. Twen- ty years later, in 1952, there were 2.439 convicted, out of a female population of 1,554,593. Any connection between these statistics and the fact that beer parlors were authorized in On- tario in 1934. and cocktail bars in 1947? In 1952 the total sale of brewery products in Canada was nearly 21/2 times the fig- ure for 1942. The brewers have always planned skilfully for the future.
