Two Year Su
Set Rules
For Auto
Wreckers
Faced with the possible estab-
lishment of an auto wrecking
yard on the county road in
Egmondville, Tuckersmith coun-
cil acted Tuesday night to pro-
vide controls that it was suggest-
ed would prevent any such op-
erations from becoming a nuis•
ance.
Guided by action taken by
11161Sert -TtiwrialtiP—earlier this -
year, council passed a by-law as
provided by the Municipal Act,
for the "licensing, regulating
and governing salvage shops,
salvage yards, secondhand shops
and dealers in secondhand
goods." The bylaw became ef-
fective with its final passing on
Tuesday.
Location of the yard was 'sug-
gested as being at the ,corner
of St. Patrick's Street and the
County Road, near Egmondville
bridge. While the bylaw' would
not, prevent a yard being .estab-
lished, it ,set up certain re-
quirements. These included a
provision that no salvage may
be kept within 25 feet of the
boundaries of the premises on
Which the yard is located, and
also, that the yard be surround-
ed by a tight -board fence of a
height sufficient so that no
salvage may be' seen from any
Iiik-hw or frotn any- adjoin-
ing property,, by any_e_crpn at
ground level.
• The bylaw would not effect
sale of secondhand implements,
:Clerk J. I. McIntosh said, in
reply to a query by Councillor -
Alex McGregor, nor did„it gov-
ern the location or number of
salvage yards, providing the
regulations were met, he said.
93 Donors Aid
Drive For Blood
A total of 93 donors took part
in the Red Cross blood donors
clinic, held here Tuesday after-
noon and evening., The re-
sponse was up considerably
from last year, according to of-
ficials.
Arrangements for the cllnie
were completed by the Seaforth
Red Cross, of which Mrs. W. E.
Butt is president-.
Lightning Hits
Hydro Insulation
Seaforth's new north -end sub-
station, which -went into serv-
ice earlier this year, saved a
town -wide blackout Friday af-
ternoon, when lightning struck
an insulator or an air -breaker
At the No. 1 Station on Chalk
Street. As it was, the southeast
area of the town was without
hydro for two hours.,
Work of installing equip-
ment so that the entire load
can be carried on either
of the substations has been al-
most completed, PUC manager
R. J. Boussey said. In future,
trouble at one station will mean
that the load would be carried
at the other, thus avoiding any
interruption.
No action will be taken by
Tuckersmith council, at least
for the present, to provide for
a two-year term of office. At a
meeting of council on Tuesday
night, members agreed that as
long as there was a require-
ment for school trustees to be
elected annually, there would
be no savifig in election costs
by providing foe council elec-
tions on alternative years.
The matter was given consid-
eration along with a bylaw estab-
lishing nominations and elec-
tions forlater this year. Reeve
Elgin Thompson said there had
been discussion e.n..a number of
occasions, and councillors re-
called there had been a wish to
study the matter in greater de-
tail when consideration was be;,.
ing given to .the setting of nom-
ination day.
Any change in voting proce-
dures would not be effective
until one year after the new pro-
cedure was agreed on. The coun-
cil which was elected at the
Mr, Mrs. Lorne Wilson
next election in December
would serve only during 1965,
even if the changes were
agreed on.
Suggestions that the election
,of councillors would alternate,
that is that two councillors
would' be elected in one year
and three in the following
year to provide for continuity,
did not agree with election pro-
cedures, Clerk 'J. I. McIntosh
said. The Ad provides, that
elections may be held on alter-
nate years, but at such elections
the entire council would be
elected.
.Nominate November 30
In rejecting the move to
lengthen the term of office,
council agreed that nominations
would be held on Npvember 30
and an election, if necessary,
on the following December 7.

The fact that S.S. No. 1,
where voters in No. 5 poll have
voted for many years, will be --
closed this year, posed a prob-
lem. Councillors wondered if
the trustees of the section
would agree to open the school
on voting day in the event an
election became necessary. An
alternative suggestion was that
a residence in the area could

Requite Bylaw
Reviewing discussions he had
had with D of II officials, the
road superintendent said itawas
necessary to adopt a bylaw be-
fore speed restrictions could be
brought into. effect. In order
to do this, detailed informa-
tion as to the zone in which
the 'lowered speed Would exist
was needed. It was agreed
Reeve Thompson and the road
superintendent would visit the
Station and discuss with staff'
personnel -the•problem.. -Itt_the
meantime, new style signs in-
dicating maximiim'sPeed are on
hand . and will. be .erected at
various points throughout- the
township,
Clerk McIntosh told council
he had received a report from
S/L McConnel of Station Clin-
ton, which indicated that school
signs in the area of the Ate -
tion required repair or replace-
ment. Asked by Councillor Var-
ley whether the existing signs
could be freshened up, the.
road superintendent hesitated,
and said that they were pretty
well faded, but agreed with
Reeve Thompson that probably
they.could be freshened up f r
less than theprice of new sign.
Discussion revealed that signs
in use near S.S. 4 would no,
longer' be required,' since the
school. is closed, and council
agreed these signs could be in-
stalled near the Clinton School,
and the Clinton signs repaint-
ed during the winter.
