The committee had received `word from the Canadian National Railway (CNR), who owns the bowling green property, that rent would be increasing to $330 from $300. The town was offered the option of paying $1,320 in advance covering five years ($264 per year) - a savings of180. TRANSFER REVENUE Further to another suggestion from its finance and general government cormnit- tee Seaforth Town Council has recom- mended the Fire Area Board be permitted to transfer excess revenue, if any, to a reserve fund to offset future capital expen- ditures. The recommendation is subject to theme approval of sufficient member municipalities. USE NAME Seaforth Town Council has approved a request from Luke Janmaat of Luke's .Machine Shop to use the name `Seaforth' on a new line of mower. However, council refused him use of some form of a stylized town crest on the mower, saying any use of a logo similar to the 'Town Crest' must be submitted to council for approval. INCREASED'COST Seaforth Town Council supports the revised 1988 budget for the Huron Municipal Police Comniunication system, but isnconcerned about further deteriora- tion of the communication system through any further withdrawals. The town of Wingham has indicated it will withdraw from the system on April 1, 1988, meaning a marked increase in cost to the town of Seaforth, and the other three towns that share the system. According to Seaforth's Protection to Persons and Property committee the BRIEFS town's monthly share of the costs from January to March for 1988 is estimated at $1,349. This compares to an actual monthly cost of $1,317 for 1986 - a 2.4 per cent in- crease. The estimated monthly cost for Seaforth after Wingham withdraws from the system increases to $1,541 - a 17 per cent increase over 1987 costs. Total 1988 costs to Seaforth are estimated to be $17,916. • PAY INVOICE Town Council has recommended the $110 invoice from Zone 6, to cover the cost of operation of the Trauma Unit, be paid. Council also -agrees Police Chief Hal Claus should recommend to the Zone 6 Association future cost sharing of the operation of the Trauma Unit be based on the number of constables in a municipality. SMOKE DETECTORS Town council has adopted a recommen- dation from its Protection to Persons and Property committee that, as per the com- mission report, recommended smoke detectors and a regular alatna system for the police station be considegninn the 1988 budget. AWARD CONTRACT Town council has agreed with its Transportation and Environment commit- tee that Southwestern Tree Service be awarded the 1988 tree removal contract at an estimated cost of $4,735. Approximately 26 trees need to be removed to below street wires. Thirteen other trees on the County Road will be removed by the Public Works men with the help of Dennis Merrill, County Engineer and his tree crew.

At• present there are no lights from the corner off Huron and Jarivs Streets until the corner of Railway and Jarvis.
