Seaforth will go to arbitration after both
parties refused to give In to the other's
demands.
Despite both parties making some com-
promises negotiations broke off May 12 •
after 21/2 hours of conciliation.

January 1, 1987 with further increments of
$946 July 1, 1987, $974 January 1, 1988 and
$1,004 July 1, 1988. That would bring their

years.
The town reciprocated by offering an in-
itial increment of $1,838 to $32,463, effec-
tive January 1, 1987 and a second incre-
ment of $1,298 on January 1, 1988 to bring

The town did not accept that proposal
but instead offered two of its own.
The first offers the initial $1,838 (six per
cent) increase from $30,625 to$32,483 effec-
tive January I, 1987 and an additional
$1,298 (four per cent) to $33,761 on January

tional $824 effective July 1, 1988. The end
result would be a $34,106 salary, an $3,136
increment over the two years.
Councillor Bob Dinsmore, a member of
the negotiating committee, said he thought
council had bean very fair to the Seaforth
Police Association. He added the police
had given no consideration to the fact they
also receive approximately $8,000 a year in
benefits.
"They aren't even taking that into con-
sideration." he said.
"They're only interested in salary."

Mr. McCall credits their success to the
volume of sales completed since 1970. At
that tiitie the turnover for the company was
$9 million. In the last fiscal year, froth
September 1, 1988 to August 31;1988, the tilt
hover was more than $60 milllett. An tri -
crease th cattle prices to 82 cents per pound
in 1986, from 32 cents per polled in 1970; is
the main reason for the large turnover.
Brussels Stockyards_ Ltd. sells to farnie'r
across Ontario: as far East as Dundalk,
Shelbourne and Fergus, as far south as
Parkhill end as far north as ColTiigwood.
Greater tuft -raver means more expansion

many tunes since 1970. The barns have been
expanded four times since the Metells purl

ded in 1975 and a Stocker barn in I977 Of-

.had to make the story their otr*tn. These are
