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.

In order to do this, detailed informa- tion as to the zone in which the 'lowered speed Would exist was needed.

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.
