told him that it would not be Pos-

moment, tout that the matter would
be referred to the town solicitor
for a report.
The danger that existed when
small children were permitted to
ride tractors was also drawn to
Council's attention by Mr. Dolmage,
as well as the necessity of the
weed inspector examining certain
lots in the north part of town. It
was explained that weeds on town
streets had been cut once, and that
town employees were now cutting
them for a second tipte. The weed
inspector, to whoni the complaint
should be made, was Harold Ma-
loney, .Mr. Dolmage was told.

Consideration of the finance com-
mittee report led to a discussion
of the manner in which provincial
grants were presently being paid
to the town. In the opinion of
Councillor Sharp, Seatorth, who
employs Provincial Constables,
should get a grant additional to
that received by other municipali-
ties where Provincials are nut em-
ployed. In his opinion, Provincials
here are under the control of the
District Provincial Police Office at
Mount Forest, and from time to
time are called upon to serve out-
side the municipality. In this way.
Councillor Sharp points d out. the
town, which is paying the cost of
REV. W. P. LANE
The Rev. Wiliiaan P. Lane, a
retired minister of the 'United
Church, died suddenly at his home,
4 Austin Terrace, Toronto, on Tues-
day.
Born in Lane, Bruce County, he
was the descendant of a tamely of
early settlers that gave their name
to the community. Mr. Lane, or-
dained a minister of the Presby-
terian
resbyterian Church, after graduating
from Knox College, Toronto, in
1908, had served at Presbyterian
churches in Bond Head and Embro
and United Churches in Seaforth
and Gederich. He retired in 19421..
He is survived by his widow, the
former Mary Irwin; a daughter,
Helen, Mrs. G.' E. Myers, Middlle-
toii; N.S.; one sister, Mrs. W. D.
McDonald, Toronto, and five broth-
ers, John and Malcolm, of Kin-

Henderson to fill the vacancy.
Council concurred in action
which had been taken by the sew-
age committee in appointing D. L.
Reid as inspector of the work
while it is in progress, at the rate
of $1.10 per hour.
Councillor Leslie, chairman of
the sewage committee. in discuss,
ing the steps which were to be tak-
en, felt that instructions should be
issued to the end that the work
of laying sewage lines would com-
mence at the treatment plant, and
progress from that point. 11 that
was not done, he felt considerable
difficulties would arise, since con-
struction of the lines might well
involve the elimination of certain
existing installations'.
Council instructed the Mayor
and Clerk to sign contracts with
the 1.3.C. Construction Co., of Nee
gw•a on -the -Lake, in an amount of
$45.627.00, to provide for the in
stallation of the sewer lines, and
with the Spartan Contracting Co.,
of Toronto, for $39,537.50 for the
construction of the treatment
plant. The contracts had been
awarded some time ago.
Third and final reading was giv-
en By -Law 553 which was the by-
law having to. do with the est:ib•
lishing of sewage rates. Council
was informed in a letter from the
town solicitors, Messrs. McConnell
& Hays, that approval of the by-
law had been received from the
Ontario Municipal Board. The by -

Councillor E. H. Close, chairman
of the street committee. reporting
for that committee, told council
that the sidewalk program was al-
most completed. It. had been nec-
essary to buy 55 bags of cement
over and above the quantity which
had been originally arranged. and
that already 6,509 square feet of
sidewalk had been constructed. It
was intended that street signs
would be erected in a few days.
Councillor Close discussed with
Councillor Sharp the extent to
which it was inteltded to erect
street signs, and it was explained
that at the moment, in the long-
term program, only signs on Main
St. were to be erected.
Councillor Close said that he had
received complaints about a cess-
pool on South Main St., which had
been brought to him by neighbors.
and he felt that it was the respon-
sibility of the Property Committee.
Council agreed, however, that this
was not a matter of town property
and that the Huron County Health
Unit was responsible for the con-
dition of cesspools in the town.
The matter is to be referred to
the Health Unit by the Clerk.
Discussing the necessity of cut-
ting weeds on town streets, and
the tact that it was now being
done, Councillor Close felt that the
town would be well advised to pur-
chase a used one-horse mower.
This was available for about $60
and would be a positive saving, he
said', since there is a horse avail-
able and there is a man on the
town staff who would have suffici-
ent time to do it.
Following a short illnesa, Mrs.
William Irvine died early Thurs-
day- mooning, August 5, in Scott

74th year. She was the farmer

'Some Negligence
Existed', Inquest
Jury Says of Drivers
(Continued from Page 1)
wald Suezle, a New Canadian re-
cently arrived here, and he gave
his evidence through an interpre-
ter, Dd. Henke.
Saw Accident Happen
Mr, Suezle was on his way home
from work, he said, and was about
hall way from the county road to
the house on the Earl Papple farm,
south of the sideroad at the inter-
section. He told of having seen
Mr. Love driving slowly from his
gate to the corner, and when the
Love car was about 30 yards from
the county road, he saw a truck
about 60 yards north from the in-
tersection. In reply to repeated
queries by Mr. Hays as to whether
or not he had seen Mr. Love stop
at the intersection, Mr. Suezle said
that he couldn't say for sure. He
later said ,he didn't see Met, Love
stop. He explained that his atten-
tion was attracted to the truck be-
cause the horn on the truck was
blowing.
He estimated the speed of the
Love car at. about 34 kilometers an
hour, or 18 M.P.H., and that of the
Harvey car at about 60 kilometers
an hour, or 35 to 40 miles per
hour. He said that at any time he
had seen the Love car it was in
motion. He saw the actual acci-
dent happen.
When she ran to the accident, he
didn't know who was driving either
of the vehicles:,arrived
but a s he
e that the scene he recalled th t Mr.
Love was alone in one of the ears.
Atter the impact, the cars were
about two feet apart. Constable
Snell arrived about 20 or 30 min-
utes following. At the time of the
accident, there were no other cars
in sight.
Through its foreman, Mr. For-
syth, the jury asked the witness
how far ,he was from the corner
when he saw the accident, and his
answer was "about 50 yards from
township road in a field." He went
on to explain, through the interpre-
ter, that he had been at the Love
gate and walked across the road,
climbed the fence, and was on his
w•ay to the house in the Papple
farm south of the Love gate. He
had gone about 50 yards south in-
to the field when he saw a vehicle
come out from Love's lane. He
went another 30 or 40 yards south
when he heard a horn blowing,
and turned to see what had caus-
ed it.
Asked again a's to whether or
not he had actually seen the Love
vehicle come to a stop, Suezel re-
peated that he hadn't seen the Love
car stop. Mr. Hays asked him.
to recall the conversation he had
Thad with Constable Snell about
9:30 or 10 o'clock that evening fol-
lowing the accident, and to tell the
jury what he had said at that time.
His answer through the interpreter
was that he had said to the con-
stable that he wasn't sure. "1 didn't
see him stop.' Further discussions
were reviewed and he was asked
to recall what he had said when
he was discussing the accident with
an insurance investigator on the
following day. It was explained
that this interview had been
through another interpreter other
than Mr. Henke.
Constable Describes Scene
Municipal. Board, by the deletion
of a reference to Oak St., since the
sewage line does not proceed along
Oak St., but simply crosses over it.
Council discussed at some length
hypothetical cases which might
arise upon application of the sew-
age rates set out in the bylaw.
Delay Meter Decision
Approval was given also for the
purchase of lands necessary for
t he site of the sewage plant in an
amount of $250.00, from Messrs.
Wright & •Leyburn. It was point-
ed out that inherent in the Pur-
chase was an agreement that in
the event Oak St. was closed, the
town would 'purchase that portion
of lands owned by Wright & Ley -
burn, which as a result of the clos-
ing of the street no longer would
be accessible, for an amount of
$150.00.
Council reviewed at some length
a discussion which it had held at
its July- meeting with regard to the
possibility of installing parking
meters...on Seaforth's Main St.
Councillor Christie told of an ex-
amination he had made of an in-
stallation at Collingwood, where
two-hour parking for five cents was
allowed, and Reeve Scoins inform-
ed council that he had discussed
the matter with Reeve Nediger, of
Clinton, and that he had been in-
formed that in the event Seaforth
installed parking meters, Clinton
would do the same. Councillor
Scott was of the opinion that there
was no opposition, ''1 have not
heard anybody against it," he said.
Councillor Close felt too that in
most cases parking meters were
favored, but on the other hand, he
did indicate that he had heard one
or two who had opposed the mat-
ter.
Councillor Sharp wondered whe-
ther or not parking meters were
the right thing. "What are they
going to do for us?" he queried,
and Councillor Close replied that
it would result in people who used
Main St. as a place to sit, being
forced to park someplace else. He
didn't think it was reasonable that
people who came into town to go
to the show, for instance, should
occupy a place on Main , St. for
several hours and thus prevent
people who wished to shop for' a -
short period of time from finding
a place 'to park. Councillor Sharp
was not completely satisfied and
expressed the opinion that a pro-
perly enforced parking by-law
would accomplish the same objec-
tive. In his opinion, he doubted
whether the town was big enough
for .parking meters.
"It's not a question of being big
enough; it's a question of the
streets being too small," Reeve
Scoins pointed out.
'rhe matter was held in abeyance
ellen it was agreed that a commit-
tee to include the Mayor, Reeve
Scoins and Councillor Close would
approach the Councils of Mitchell
and Clinton and discuss the matter
with then 'as to whether or not
those municipalities proposed _to
take similar action.
Referring to a decision which
Council had taken at its June meet-
ing, Councillor Crich inquired what
action had resulted., or had been
taken in order to obtain the ser-
vices of Dr. Pleva regarding the
desirability of a planning program
in Seaforth. It was pointed out
that at that time the Mayor had
agreed to look after contacting Dr.
Pleva and in his absence it was
not known whether or not this had
been done.
Sees Need of Water Supply
Reporting for the fire and water
committee, Chairman J. C Crich
told council that there had been
two -fires recently in Egmondville,
and on each occasion it had been
necessary to use the town truck as
well as the rural truck. Had. the
town truck not responded to the
alarm and augmeeted the protec-
tion offered by the rural truck, both
fires would have been out of con-
trol, Mr: Crich said. This pointed'
to the necessity, he said. of some
action being taken to make avail-
able an adequate supply of water
in Egmondville, since it was only
with great difficulty that it was
possible to pump water from the
river in eunlmertime. He pointed
out that there appeared to be a
shortage of some 800 feet of hose
and wondered whether other 'town
agencies had been using fire hose.'
He was assured by Councillor Close
that the street committee had not
used the Bose, and it was suggest-
ed that possibly it had been re-
quired for P.D.C. purposes. Reeve
Scoins felt that additional hose
should be purchased, and said: that
it was two years since the last
purchase had been made. At the
present time there was not suffici-
ent hose to provide adequate pro-
tection in certain parts of town.
Councillor Crich, in reply, indicat-
ed that there .was sufficient hose
assuming that the 800 feet, which
were temporarily missing, were 10-
catedand brought back into use.
Reverting to the recent fires in
Egmondville, Councillor Crioh told
Council that a length of hose had
been lost in the fire last Friday
morning. This was as a result of
its having been subjected to in-
tense heat. Reeve Scoins felt that
since the town carried fire insur-
ance on its property, a claim
should be entered to provide for
the hose whicth was burned.
Reporting for the property com-
mittee, Councillor Sharp said that
two tires had been purchased for
the grader and. that certain other
repair work had been carried out
by the town foreman. He indicat-
ed that there was a requirement
for new flags, since those present-
ly in use were quite badly damag-
ed.
There we`re no new cases for
consideration, Reeve Scoins, chair-
man of the relief committee, told
council. Councillor Scott, ohair-
man of the park committee, had
nothing to report.
The interim, report a.nd, requisi-
tion to the Ontario Department of
Highways was concurred In by
Council.

Constable Snell, recalled, was
asked for his version of the con
versation and referring to notes
which he had made at the time, he
told the jury that Suezel had stat-
ed to him: "Love did not stop—was
travelling Lair speed." The con-
stable felt that he had not misin-
terpreted the information given to
him at that time, and that there
was no chance of his having been
told the same as Suezel recalled
having told him.
Constable Snell told the jury of
the accident scene when be arriv-
ed, and the location of the vehicles.
The Harvey vehicle was on its
right side facing west, in line with
the south fence of the sideroad. It
was completely destroyed' by fire.
The Love Vehile was 25 feet south,
on the west side of the crossroad,
facing in a north-easterly direc-
tion. It appeared from an examina-
tion of the vehicles that the colli-
sion took place on the left door of
the Love vehicle and the front of
the Harvey truck. The Love ve-
hicle was part on and part off the
road. The constable said that he
was informed that it had been tow-
ed there in order to avoid fire.
In answer to a query, he told the
Jury that the county road was pav-
ed to a width of 24 feet, and that
the travelled portion of the inter-
secting township road was 15 feet.
The intersection was clear and
there was a good view. The near-
est obstruction was an apple tree
some 67 paces north at the h4gh-
way fence.
Constable Snell described skid
marks which he had examined on
the County road, and which he be-
lieved were those of the Harvey
vehicle. These extended from the
north in a southeasterly direction,
to a point 15 feet east of the west
side of the travelled portion of the
county road. The marks continued
in a direct line for 31 feet, stopped
and angled sharply to the east
ditch. There was no indication of
skid marks on the township road
along the course travelled by the
Love car, -except a mark about
three or four feet long, which was
directly in front of where the Har-
vey skid marks stopped and. which
ran in an easterly direction. This
was, a single mark.
Constable Snell said that a atop
aign was erected 60 feet west of
the county highway. The sign was,
of a standard size, The Love gate
was approximately 20 rods west of
the county road, on the north side
of the township road.
Mr. Hays told the jury that that
concluded the evidence which was
available for presentation to it.
The coroner reviewed the evidence
briefly and the jury retired.
No Further Paving
There is no possibility of the
County taking further action to
provide an additional coat of pav-
ing on Main St., Reeve Scoins told
council. He had discussed the
matter thoroughly with County En-
gineer Patterson. Whale it had
been intended that a delegation
would approach the engineer, this
had not been poseible, the Reeve
said, so he had found It necessary
to go alone. If an additional coat-
ing was required, the engineer
pointed out, that it would be de-
sirable that this be a hot mix,
rather than the type which the
county - uses.
It was indicated that. the C,N.,R.
proposed to repair the crossing at
Main St. and iCouneil felt that the
county should be approached, since
it was responsible for the 22 feet
of the roadway affected. Council
was happy to learn that the C.N.R.
proposed) taking action since, in the
words of one Councillor, "If was
the worst crossing In Weatern On-
tario."
