Mayor McMaster agreed that a receipt should go forward, and council left the matter with the police committee to investigate. A query from Mrs. Sarah Swan as to the steps she should take to recover taxes she had paid on a lot which had been improperly as- sessed to her was referred to the finance committee for checking. It was indicated that in 1952 Mrs. Swan had sold the lot to Lawrence Dillon, but that this lot had con- tinued to be assessed in her name and. she had not discovered the error until this year. Clerk Wilson pointed out that ratepayers have 14 days in which to appeal after they have been served with an assessment notice. He would hesi- tate, he said, to give an opinion as to whether or not recovery action could be justified, and felt that the statutes would have to be checked and legal advice obtained to see whether remedial action could be taken.

Bora and educated in Seaforth, Mr. Wilson served for a number of years at various branches of the Dominion Bank across Can- ada. For the greater part of his life he was associated with the Royal Whiter Fair, Toronto. With the fair during the years it was being established, Mr. Wilson con- tributed much to the world-wide eminence which it enjoys today. For several years he has been liv- ing retired in Toronto. While he had not been in the best of health, his passing came as a surprise. A frequent visitor in Seaforth, he had been here for several days a little over a month ago. His wife predeceased him several years ago, but he is sur- vived by three sons, Douglas and Louis, of Toronto, and Robert, of Bessemer, Alabama. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Geo. Anderson and Mrs. Arthur Samp- son, of Seaforth. Town Clerk D. H. Wilson, of Seaforth, is a nephew. Funeral services were held in the Trull Funeral Chapel, Toron- to, Tuesday evening. Interment followed at Maitlandbank ceme- tery, Seaforth, Wednesday after- noon, when graveside services were conducted by Rev. D. Glenn Campbell, of First Presbyterian Church. MISS THERESA HEFFERNAN Miss Theresa Heffernan, in her 80th year, died at St. Joseph's Hospital, London, on Thursday, February 10, a week after she had ,entered the hospital. Miss Hef- fernan was poorly for the past five months, but was able to be up and around every day and took a keen interest in the activities and news of the day. She was the daughter of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Heffernan and was born on the old homestead two and a half miles east of Sea - forth on the Huron Road in Tuck- ersmith Township. Miss Heffern- an lived for about 15 years with Mr. L. Barry, an uncle, who farm- ed near Centralia, before coming to stay with her brother, Mr. Joseph Heffernan, Seaforth, who is the sole surviving member of a family of eight, three girls and five boys. She had been in Sea - forth with her brother for the past ten ycarg. Active in church work, she was a devout member of St. James' 'Church, Promoter for the League of the Sacred Heart. member of the C.W.L., and also of the Altar Society. She was of a happy dis- ,position and loved children and was always ready to give a help- ing hand to those in need.

Perhaps then they would bring it to Seaforth, he said. Council took no action on the request, ed members of council to see the plan as it was at the moment in his office at Goderich, and said that if a complete 'plan was requir- ed the cost would be $450. Coun- cil agreed to look at the plan, and before taking any positive action will investigate the matter further. Council finally agreed to join. theAssociation of Mayors and Reeves after a decision had been taken that the association would be of little advantage. Reeve Seoins felt that there was a re- quirement that municipalities stick together in order to get thingsas done, and said that this wpar- ticularly true insofar as small municipalities were concerned. Councillor Kellar said that he had experience with telephone associa- tions and felt that little good could result. On the other hand, Coun- cillor Leslie said that annual meet- ings of this nature were helpful in that they provided an opportun- ity to make contact with persons who had a greater knowledge of the' problems that were facing municipalities. Councillor Close doubted that there would be any advantage re- sulting from the meeting. He pointed out that it bad held meet- ings last year. and insofar as the council was concerned, nothing had come from them. It looked like a waste of money to him, he said,- - • Siouno'. 'Loci: its decision after Councillor Kellar asked, "Why not join it?" and wort on to say that council saved $15 a few minutes before when it turned down the request for a grant to the Huron County Seed Show, and "we may as well throw ten of it now." Mayor McMaster asked council whether it desired to take action in connection with converting the former substation on Victoria St. to serve as a police office, as had been discussed at the inaugural meeting in January. He suggested that work could proceed immedi- ately, and much of it done during the winter months. In answer to a query, Clerk Wil- son told council that the building was the property of the Public Utility Commission Electrical De- partment and, in his opinion, be- fore it could be sold or disposed of, approval of the H.E.P.C. would be a requirement. Reeve Scoins, chairman of the property committee, said that the matter had never been brought be- fore the property committee, and it was his opinion that if the P.U. C. wants any changes in accom- modation in either the Town Hall or at the substation, it should be brought to the property commit- tee. There was no need for the committee to go to the Commis- sion. Mayor McMaster replied that the matter had been discuss- ed by the town council and that it A request from the Salvation Army for the usual grant of $40 to assist with its Home in London, was approved. Council took note of the communication from James A. Murray, secretary of the Sea - forth Amateur Athletic Associa- tion ,in which the appreciation of the association was expressed for a recent grant. A communication from the Sea - forth and District Old Boys' Asso- ciation informed council of the dates which had been selected for the Old Boys' Reunion, and asked that council communicate with the Department of Public High- ways to insure that there would be no disruption of roads and streets in Seaforth, or immediate area, during the time of the Old Boys.
