They have resided on a farm near Rose - town since that time. Of a quiet disposition, Mrs. Aitcheson was a person who was a great home lov- er and a good wife and mother.

MoKERCHER Phone 849 r 4 ()Worth ,g; n Many SuInterest (Continued from Page 1) keep all the sidewalks cleared, but it would entail the •purchase of large amounts of equipment, and in view of the tax rate and the fact that many people felt that taxes were too high, the purchase of that equipment was not justi- fied. People want the snow re- moved, but at the same time they want their taxes down, he said. The policy that he was following was to compromise between the two extremes and to clean as many streets as possible with the equip- ment and staff that was available. Mr. Brugger, referring again to, the sewage contract, asked whether or not the town was being reim- bursed for the work which was be- ing down by the town grader and town employees, clearing up after the contractor. Mr. Close told him that the contractor pays for all work of that nature, that he was required to put the streets back in the shape which he found them before excavation commenced. Mr. Brugger wondered, too, what was being done about fixing the road adjacent to the C.N.R. station, and over which traffic had been de- toured•because of sewer work. He commented on the taxes which the C.N.K. paid and felt that the road which is a private road, should be repaired. Mr. Close said that the town had graded the road on sev- eral occasions without charge, and Chairman Wilson added that in ad- dition to grading, oil had been put on the road. Mr_ Wilson explain- ed, too, that the taxes paid were relatively small and were on the buildings only. Fears Parking Charge Concern was expressed as to the nature of the tile which was be- ing used in the sewer job by Mrs. I. Butt. Mrs. Butt wondered whe- ther it was similar to that which was u..ed in other towns, and whe\ ther it would stand up. Mr. Les- lie, in reply, said that the tile was known to be serviceable, and that the town had been told that it would last as long, if not longer, than any other kind of tile. R. S. McDonald inquired as to what action would be taken against motorists who left their cars on the street in a snow storm because it was not possible for them to be placed in garages adjacent to or butting on the lane east of Main St. This lane has been impassable for several weeks because of sewer construction, and garages opening onto it have not been in use. Mr. Leslie said that it was hoped that before long the lane would be re- paired so that it could be used. He said that the consulting en- gineer had pressed the contractor and that progress was now being made. He felt satisfied that in the circumstances outlined. by Mr. Mc- Donald, the police would be pro- perly lenient. Mr. McDonald was concerned, too, about the removal of prison- ers to Goderich pending granting of bail. He felt that they should be retained in Seaforth and bail arranged here because as a result of prisoners being taken to Gode- rich additional expense was placed on them and further delay result - that the contents of 24 and 30 inch ed in the granting of bail. When tile were going into 15 and 18 -inch the decision as to whether a pris- tiles, D'Orleon Sills said. He won- ower was held here or taken to sary to hold ii. family conference. John Kellar, also nominated for council, told the meeting the only reason he would consider running would be because he felt that the council, as it existed, was unbal- anced. "It would be better to have some of the council from outlying districts and not so 'many from Main Street," he said. Ross Hamilton, also a council nominee, indicated that he would not qualify since he felt that he had not been in town sufficiently long to become well enough in- formed as to its affairs. Are Undecided Telling the meeting that he had no intention of permitting his name to be placed in nomination when he arrived at the meeting, A. W. Sillery said that he had not yet decided as to the action he would take. He commented on the man- ner in which the sewage contract was being carried out, and said that he couldn't see a contractor being permitted to leave a mess similar to that which existed in Seaforth if he was working in a city. He spoke about the possi- bility of an Old Boys Reunion be- ing theid in Seaforth in 1955 and felt that steps should be taken im- mediately to insure that a proper organization was created. Scott Habkirk said that he had not decided whether or not he would stand. The last nominee for council, R. S. Box, said that to do a proper job on council involved a consider- able amount of time, and while he was interested in the work, he felt that at this time he was not in a position to undertake the duties. When the nominees had com- pleted speaking, the meeting was thrown open for questions. William Brugger wanted to know whether or not the sewage system, as designed, provided for • EGMONDVILLE - PPCBUBP 0, 190 Mr. Stuart N.

Mr. Leslie said that the mat- ter had 'been thoroughly investigat- ed and that the decision which had been taken„ was as a result of the recommendation of the town's con- sulting engineer. Recommended By Engineer • In the event that sewage backs into my basement, who is going to pay for cleaning it out? Mr. Brugger wanted to know. Mayor McMaster told him that the town had been assured by its engineer that such a situation would not arise. Mr. Hamilton told the meeting of his experiences during the years he had lived in Wingham. In Wing - ham, sewage system had been in operation for 30 years, and in that time sewage had never backed in- to his basements. Mr. Brugger wondered whether possibly Mr. Hamilton had been living on top of a hill, Difficulty was forseen because the arrangement of tile was such DUBLIN Mr. an,d Mrs. Jerottre Wicholson, London, visited with Mr„ and Airs.

Mayor McMaster said that the differences were compensated for by a gate valve, and that experi- ence in other centres with larger populations, was that an 18 -inch tile would take all the sewage eas- ily. When flooding occurs, - the sewage, being heavier, sinks to the bottom of the tile and the flood waters go to the top, he said, In reply to a further question as to whether or not it was intended to dredge Silver Creek, Mr. Sills was told by Mr. Leslie that for the time being no dredging was con- templated. Mr. Leslie recalled that a meeting of council had been held at the site, together with ad- jacent property owners, and that it was the opinion of that meeting that dredging was not necessary. It may be, he said, that widening in certain areas would' be desir- able. Reeve-Scoinsalso recalled the meeting and confirmed that dredging would not be done, but that widening was essential. Junk Yards Are Problem Difficulties Sbeing experienced ae. a result of •the existence of junk yards in the town were explained by James Kelly, who said that he was put to a.dd.itional expense be- cause of rats coming from an un- controlled junk ytard.\ Mr. Sharp, chairman of this year's property committee, told the meeting of the difficulties that existed in regulat- ing such situations. The matter had been discussed with the town solicitor and with the County Health Unit, and it was the opin- ion of the solicitor that the only steps which could be taken were to lay charges. Charges had been laid, he said, by the Health, Unit, and the offending citizens were be- ing brought before the magistrate periodically in an effort to have the mess cleaned up: John F. Scott, lire chief, asked for his Wiliam from the standpoint of fire hazard, said that there was only one way to solve the diffi- culty, and that was to put the of- fender in jail. The streets committee is willing to try to keep certain sidewalks clear of snow is year, Mr. VJose told John Ho am, who inquired, why sidewalks eneraliy were not cleaned. Mr, otha.m felt that a serious situation existed, particu- larly insofar as elderly people were concerned, when it was necessary for them to walk on .the road, or to climb over snowbanks, He won- dered, 'Whether or not . a by-law could be passed which would make it obligatory for property owners to keep .gidewaiks adjacent to their prOjlefLy Clear .Mr. Clow said, a. by -lav Mould be passed but it Weald be difficult to enfbrce, acid he text ijv 'w uktIl be iiheati. to iii'r'tii1+'„ t)itioYi'13 tk eW I�ir ; 11e .c it heft.

It was explained that there was only a lockup in Seaforth, and that prisoners could not be .held here for more than a minimum of time, since no facilities for their care existed. Mr. Kellar asked whether or not properties on Main Street, who would .,obtain sewer service were in arrears of taxation, and if so, would sewage gervice be granted them? Mr. Wilson replied 'and said that there may be one or two pro- perties in arrears, and that in any event that was not a fact insofar as sewage service was concerned.
