The Huron Expositor, 1954-12-03, Page 1!ti iy< h 1".iTl$'S d(3 w 74' • Plinety-Fifth Year flan w1e Number 4534 Many Subjects Interest Electors Ratepayers Meeting Indicates Seaforth ratepayers gathered for the annual nomination meeting in the Town Hall on Monday evening sand at the close of nominations :beard members of -council and new- ly-nominated ew- • yi nominated candidates indicate their views of municipal affairs. "The meeting named Clerk D. H. Wilson as chairman. Mr. Wilson called on Mayor Mc- Master as the first speaker, who ex- pressed his appreciation for the confidence which had been placed sin him as a result of his again having been nominated, for 'Mayor. Reviewing the work of the pre- vious year, Dr. McMaster said that in his opinion the year had been ,an important one, and that it had required heavy work on the part of members of council. This, how - 'ever, had been most pleasant, he said, because of the assistance which members of council were ,able to render him in the carrying out of his duties. He spoke par- ticularly ar:titularly. of the work done by E. NI. Close, chairman of the streets committee, and H. H. Leslie, as chairman of the sewer committee. Hope To Extend Sewers Touching on the complaint which its sometimes heard, and which was the basis of an anonymous letter which was published recently, May- or McMaster said it was the hope of councilthat ultimately the sewer system would serve the whole town. Certainly, the fact that at idle moment it is serving areas ad• Jaeent to Main Street, is not be- cause there is any desire to deny other ratepayers service. Rather, it is .because a start had to be made. some place and because the en- gineer n,gineer retained by the town had aecominended a start in this par- ticular area. Had the work been 'extended further afield, it might well have been . that the tax rate *would be 115 mills; he said. He held out hope that extensions to the system would be possible short- ly, and in any event that an -extension to the hospital area would become a reality next year. Referring to the tax rate of 73 mills, -the speaker asked. his audi- ence whether sufficient thought was given to the benefits Which were received by ratepayers for the taxes which are paid. Mayor Mc- Master listed the various municipal services which are made available as a result of the payment, of tax- es, and suggested that municipal -services have become, to such an extent, a part of every citizen's llife, that too frequently they are taken for granted. If citizens con- tinue to demand services ..of one mature or another, then there can .be no alternative, he said, to the continuing payment of taxes. Value For Aax Money Reeve Norman Scoins, who also was nominated again, told the meeting of his work in council. As chairman of the County Library Committee and as a member of the Children's Aid Society, he was in a position to see that citizens of the county got good value for the approximately 10 mills which county government costs. He re- ferred to the Health Unit, which operated on .501 mills or, Insofar as Seaforth is concerned, about 2650, and: indicated that for this money certainly the Citizens of :Seaforth receive good value. Something in the order of a mullion dollars was being spent by the County on various construc- tions this year, but of this amount ,only $300,000 was borrowed. This indicated, Reeve Scoins said, the excellent financing which the coun- ty is doing. Frank Kling, chairman of the Public Utility Committee, told the meeting of work which the com- mission had undertaken during the Tears, and paid particular, refer- ence to the elimination of overhead wires on Goderich St., and the il- aumination of the street by new lighting standards. In addition to this, considerable line work had teen done on Victoria. St., and work at present was in hand en John St. Finances in Good Shape Operation of the waterworks system has been on an economical basis with p: ovis'.on being made for ordinary maintenance. Deben- `M, tures have now been cleared and waterworks debt-_ is reduced to 110,000, an amount which has been borrowed from the town. B. F. Christie, chairman of the finance committee of the .council, was the next speaker, and review- ed the financial situation as it ex- isted in the town, Mr. Christie told the meeting that he was par- ticularly happy about the manner Am which current taxes were being paid, and said that out of the' total lax bill of $105,373, already some $82,535 had been paid. Mr. Chris- tie suggested it would not be nec- essary for him to go into detail in- eofar as the work of each of the committees were concerned, be- cause the various chairmen would discuss the financial aspects of their work. E, 1•I. Close, who has been chair- man of the streets committee for several years, discussed the con- struction wcrk.,which had been un- dertaken during the year and which inclntded the laying of side- walks amounted • to 10,910 square. feet In addition to this, LeroVi ,watch lbasinsr'had ,beet, cenStrltete >an alt treos cat do's ny neo t i *tees rowbif 1t ci x br f. tis ' P.':... •:" n.nr„ )M:�'Fai'W4T�l�tifiil�l('V��M1IYtl1k� 60 new- trees which were planted and the majority of these, the speakeq said, were doing remark- ably %well. The committee throughout the year had paid careful attention to necessity of the proper mainten- ance of town drains, and much of the work of its employees had been directed to this end, Mr. Close was hopeful that approximately two-thirds of a mill of the estimat- ed street cost would be saved this year, _but that this depended ozi the extent to which snow fell between now and the end of the year. Tribute To Employees The street committee, he said: could only plan certain work, and had it not been for the faithful manner in which eniploy'eek carried out their duties, `the program en- visaged by the committee could never have been completed. Chairman of the fire and water committee for several years, J. C. Crich, commented on the manner in which the fire brigade was be- ing operated. by Chief John F. Scott. He told the meeting that the fact that two hours after the fight had commenced on the occa- sion of the Top Notch Flour Mill fire last spring, it was possible to reduce the hose indicated, the ef- ficiency with which the brigade was doing its job. During the year there had been no major expendi- tures, but he was of the opinion certain items would be required in another .year. He expressed hi:s appreciation for the co-operation., he :had received in the tour years he had been on the council, and said that insofar as he was con- cerned die felt that all who served on the council had. approached their task in a conscientious manner. Keith Sharp, who was chairman of the property committee of the council, indicated routine mainten- ance which had been carried out and which included certain redecor- ating of the lower floors of the Town Hall, but not including the forth District High School. Area, auditorium on the third floor. He, and said that the expenditures too. expressed his appreciation for here of approximately $150,000, was the confidence which had been much better than expenditures. of placed in him during the four over half d million which had been years he had served on the coun- undertaken by other areas,-adjac- ell. ent to Seaforth. In Seaforth, great Weather Delays Work !care had been taken in the manner James T. Scott, chairman of the in which the public money had park committee, told of having had the old recreation grounds plowed so that the' grass could be cut more readily in another year. Difficulties which were faced by the sewer contractor were describ- ed by H. H. Leslie, chairman of that committee. While progress in cleaning up after the laying of mains was slow in certain parts of the town, construction of the dis- posal'pleat Was proceeding quite quickly, he said. 'Even here dif- ficulties had been experienced in the earlier stages of the program because of quicksand and the con- tinuing wet weather. He expected that the, disposal plant would be completed -within a few weeks. Mr. Leslie expressed sympathy with the property owners who have been adversely affected by sewer construction, and said that every- thing 'possible was being done to have the trouble eliminated as quickly as possible. He hoped that this work too, would be completed within a few weeks, but agreed that certain of the cleaning -up work would' have to depend on good weather. He indicated that if there were any questions con- cerning the sewer program, he would be happy to attempt to an- swer them. D. Sills, elected by acclamation as Public Utility Commissioner, said that he would continue •to look after the interests of the town in the future as he had in the past. Chairman of the Public School Board for the past year, Clifford Broadfoot, told the meeting that it had been necessary because of in- crease attendances, to add one more teacher to the staff. At the moment there were 339 students attending the public school, he said. Mr. Broadfoot paid tribute to the co-operation which the board was receiving from the staff of the school, and told of the excellent results which the staff was obtain- ing. M A. Reid, secretary of the Sea - forth District High School Board, was called next and referred to the problem which .the board had faced in preparing the school for opening a few weeks ago. He ex- pressed pleasure at the fact there bad been such a splendid attend- ance at the opening, since this per- mitted the ratepayers to see just what had been done at the school. He indicated that he had heard criticism of the surplus which the board had had as a result of oper- ations at the end of last year, but pointed out that this had been nec- essary because of the work which it was planned to do in the old part of the school. The work was not possible until the addition had been constructed, he said, and now had been completed. In all, approximately $10,500 had been spent .on the whole building, or as a result of changes which were made necessary because of the ad- dition. Save On Interest A saving of approximately one mill resulted because of reduction in interest made possible by the manner in which the debenture is- sue had been handled, the said. At the current year the board antici- pates a surplus of approximately $6,000. Mr. Reid commented on the nature of the plant which now existed to serve pupils of the Sea - been expended, he said. Replying to a question from Reeve Scoins as- to what the cost of the town's share was, Mr. Reid said that Seaforth assumed ap- proximately one-sixth of the total expenditure. The total assessment of the school area is $8,450,000, he said. whereas Seaforth's assess- ment is $1,400,000:- - 1,400,000:- Library Cost Down Predicting a decrease in the mill rate insofar as the Public Library is concerned. Secretary F. 0. J. Sills told the meeting that for many years necessary maintenance had been Postponed and that this re- sulted during the last two or three years in the major expenditures for new entrance steps, complete re- decorating, new lights and com- plete new wiring. This work, how- ever, was now completed and it is anticipated that the board will end the year with a surplus of $600. This will make possible a lowered Library rate next year, he 'said - He expressed appreciation for the services being rendered by the Huron County Library Board, of which Reeve Scoins is chairman John Cardno, who had been nom- inated for council, told the meet- ing that it was a family affair, and before indicating whether or not he would stand it would be neces- (Continued on Page 8) Enter Now for Xmas Decoration Contest Here Entries for the Christmas Decoration Contest, being spon- sored by • the Chamber of Com- merce and The Huron.

Court of Revision Hears 19 Appeals Faced with the largest number of appeals filed in many years, Sea - forth court of revision sat for more than four hours Thursday evening. Of the 19 appeals, four were coir - firmed and 15 reduced by varying amounts. Eleven of the appellants appeared before the court to sup- port their appeals.. In attendance were Huron Coun- ty assessor Alex Alexander, and Seaforth assessor W. E. South- gate. Members of the court were Mayor E. A. McMaster and Coun- cillors Close, Christie and Leslie. The court reviewed each appeal and heard those ratepayers who were present. Decision was re- served in each case until all had been heard. Appeals followed a common pat- tern. Applicants could not under- stand why increases had been brought into effect when no chang- es had been made to the proper- ties. Mr. Alexander told the court that no basic over-all changes had been made in residential assess- ments in Seaforth, since the intro- duction of the county- equalization system 01 five or six years ago. Equalization, he said, is a continu- ing natter and according to the provincial statutes in that regard require the tests to be applied ea:1t year. In Seaforth this had not been Massive Leaf Picked From John Street Tree So large that 4t seemed to be al- most something new in maple leaves, was a sarriple which Cleve Cochrane picked from a young hard maple tree growing at his John Street residence recently.

First Church Observes 87th Anniversary done. ' The former assessor, the late William Anent, had taken ill shortly after the introduction of the system and had been ill for several years. A new assessor was appointed in 1953, and this year presented the first opportun- ity for a complete review. Similar reviews were taking place each year in various municipalities throughout the county, he said. Most of the changes come about because depreciation rates were improperly applied, The physical characteristics were carefully re- corded by Mr. Ament, Mr, Alex- ander said. and it was only in re- spect of their interpretation that differences arose. If the assess- ment was to be equalized within the town and with other munici- palities in the county, then such differences must be eliminated. In answer to a question from Mayor McMaster, Mr Alexander said in most cases properties had been examined personally, and in every case a decision was reach- ed only after accurate information had been obtained. Proceedings of the court were interrupted for 15 minutes when a blown fuse put the Town Nall in darkness. Iu addition to consider'.n_ the 19 appeals, the court adjusted rechni- cal errors in. various records or differences resulting from the sale of properties, Orig;nal New Count Assessment Assessment Decision M.

Towards the end of the second period a minor scuffe broke out when Bob Gallagher, of London, and Paul McPherson, of Seaforth, had a slight difference of opinion behind the latter's net. However, fast action on the part of the of- ficials put an end to it before it could amount to anything. Both were given double minor penalties which carried over into the third period.
