Council,

Increased Cooi
Areas of common interest a
between the Public Utility Com
mission and the Town .were dis
cussed with PUC Chairma
D'Orlean Sills and Manager R
J. Boussey at council Monde
evening. • •
Explaining that the PUC pro
jected plans over a five to 10
year period, Mr. Sills said tha
sometimes ,diffteulties aros
when council initiated project
which involve the PUC, but o
which no advice had been giv
en. He referred to road pro
grams on Goderich Street and
North Main Street on which n
prior -advice had been given
-and on the annexation of th
hospital property, as cases in
point. In the case of the hos
pital property, he said it wa
necessary to provide hydro ser
vice at ' a cost of $3,500, and
water service at $2,009. In ad
dition, three or four stree
lights were • involved, he said.
Discussions on the widening
and repavingof the Goderich
Street connecting link and
North Main Street extended
over several years. In the case
of the hospital property, the
tvwn annexed the area follow
iffg a public hearing which was
held, here by the Municipa
Board. The hearing, which took
place in 4963, followed repres
entations which had been made
the previous„year band discuss
ed the provision of services.
Mr. Sills said energy cost of
$4.82 a month would result in
the 'installation of street lights
which would rise to $18 when
capital eosts were reflected in
the monthly billing.
Improved Lighting
On reviewing' steps 'which had
been taken recently in connec
tion with improving street light-
ing throughout the town, he
said that flourescent units had
been installed on Market , and
East William Streets, and it
was intended to extend 'this
type of installation to Victoria
and High a n d connecting
streets. Approval for such work
was required from the, town,
since the cost of operating the
the town.
improved units was charged to
• Referring to suggeations
which he understood had been
made that year-end waterworks
surplus should be turned back
to the town, the chairman point-
ed out that if this was done it
would only result in the PUC
having to turn around and ask
the town to issue debentures to
• provide for replacements and
capital works. He outlined capi-
tal works which were facing the
Commission in the immediate
future. These included repOrs
to the water tank, $3,000' IRA-
•sibIy a 'new _pump, $3,500; re-
placement of Victoria Street
pump house, replacement of
valves on Main Street I3efore
the street is improved, and ex -
'tension of a six-inch main on
South Main Street, _$6,500. lin
all, he -said, :the Commission
cofild spend $15,000 at once on
waterworks capital require-
ments. He pointed out that this
' amount would not include ord-
inary maintenance, nor the ex-
tension of individual services.
Available By Audit
Answering a query by Reeve
Dalton, Mr. Sills said as far as
he knew, other towns did
not return waterworks surplus
amounts. However, full state-
ments and reports were pro-
vided. This information, he
said, is already available to
the town through the annual
auditor's statement.
•As the result of the installa-
tion of new master meted last
year, it was expected it would
be possible to say how closely
present rates reflected the ac-
tual costs of producing water,
he told Mrs. N. C. Cardno, who
queried him. Councillor Harry
,Donaldsen recalled that the
Matter of returning the surplus
had been raised originally when
it had been pointed out the
Municipal Act requires this be
done. Howeverfurther discus-
sion had revealed that under
certain circumstances perhaps
spelt action was net desirable.
At,. the shine, time he Oh that
there was a ' requirement that
the ?UC should keep the town
fully informed as to its plans
and financial 'picture.
Answering a query by coun-
cillor Frank Kling, Mr. Sills
said that the • surplus in the
hydro account Was $10,006.00,
against. which was a bank loan
of $6,500, representing the bal-
ance due on the construction
of the new north -end sub -sta-
tion. He pointed out this had
been handled Without the ne-
cessity of debentures being is-
sued, He thought the v(tater-
works surplus would be be.,
tWeen' $16,080 and - $11,0004
Mayor Flannery, Who ,sits as
the . town's representative on
the PVC. Onainissfert, „Said that
On occasions there, did 'soft to
b a lack of 'co-operation, anti
he suggested .perhaps a letter
from the Peg to the conncil
outlining ra
progras would be
of help, since the big pronlenr
seemed to be a lack of infor-
mation.•
Discuss Rental Rate.
Referring to the rental rate
of $45 per hydrant ,whigh ^the
PUC charges the ttiWn,"Mr. Sills
said the rate at one time wag
$75, and originally had reflect-
ed the cost of amortizing wa-
terwork debentures. When the
debentures were paid off, the
rate was reduced to $45. For
this amount, the PUC main-
tains the hydrant. Mr. Boussey
said it was not possible to ar-
rive at a precise figure as to
maintenance cost, since it was
included in general mainten-
ance. • , -
Answering a query by Coun-
Ciller Kling as to how much
the additional audit required
last year had fqat, Mr. Sills
said the account had not been
received, He ,pointed out, M
any event it would go to the
town in the first instance:
Later in the meeting council
discussed the number of fire
hydrants in existence. Town
approval 'is required before a
hydrant ' is installed, and the
town, after consultation with
the Fire • Department, directs
where hydrants are to be lo-
cated, It was agreed that .the
protection to persons commit-
tee would review hydrant in-
stallations. • It was thought
some saving in numbers could
be effected without loss of pro-
tection. At the same time, con-
sideration could be given to
arriving at a more, realistic
rental rate.
Rover Crew Canoes
Best Bayfield River
The'- Bayfield River, a high-
way for Huron- pioneers 150
years ago, ,came into its own
again, Saturday, when four
members of the Egmondville
Rover Crew and a member of
the District Office' went by
canoe from Egmondville to
Bayfield. They were the first
to make the trips this year.
The Rovers, Jack Durst, Rob
Brady, Laurie Stockwell end
Harold Smith, accompanied by
Assistant District Commission-
er Ron Eyre, navigated the
river in two canoes. They left
Egmondville at 9 a.m. and ar-
rived in Bayfield nearly ten
lours later, at '6:45 p.m.
Two of the Rovers—.they re-
fuse to say which two—were
also the first to enjoy a swim
in the river this year due, they
said, to an "unfortunate mis-
calculation.”
The river from Egmondville
IQ _Varna_ was , _easily navigated,.
but the going became rough
between Varna and Bayfield.
The trip included sightings of
some ,water fowl, in addition to
much foul water. Several pin -

their task.

ons, and three Kingfishers were
sighted, the' sailors said.
The- fast, deep _ and rock=

voyagers west of Varna, brought
an end to nature study and
forced full attention to navi-
gation.,
Recounting their adverilures,
the crew gave credit to a re-
cently acquired facility in La-
tin. for 'Allying them up when
the going became tough. With-
out the encouragment of the

the thought that some agree-
ment concerning salaries cohld

aries to probationery constable
$2,400, third class $3,000;, nsee-
ond class $3,300, first class $3,-

Within Authority
That the town was acting
within its .authority in termin-
ating the employment of •Con --
stable E. McNall was indicated
in a fetter from the legal fired
of Lernes, Lernes, Bradley &
Cherniak, of London.. The Lon-
don letter said, while you "MO
have acted on the last day of
the year, but certainly had, au-
thority, to do, so under the Po-
lice Act." -
The -Police Act provides that
the services of a constable may
not be slispensed with after one
year's service, without cause.
Constable MeNall, who was ap-
pointed by bylaw March 16,
1964, was advised by letter fol-
lowing a special council meet-
ing on the morning of March
15, 1965, that his services were
terminated immediately.
Faced, with, police problems
and mounting costs, council was
quick 'to endorse a Township
of Saltfleet resolution,' calling
on the Provincial Government
to provide financial aid 'toward
maintenance of municipal po-
lice forces.

NAME COUNCIL COMMITTEES,
Introduction of two new
members to Council , Monday
night necessitated a rearrange-
ment of standing committees.
As approved by council, com-
mittees are:
Finance and general govern-
ment — Donaldson, Cardin),
Kelly and Murray.
Protection to persons and
property— Cuthill, Flannigan,
Murray, Kling.
Welfare, recreation and in-
dustrial—Cardno, Cuthill, Kelly,
for
$1,500. It WO indicated there
might be interest on tt part
of a local industry, p iding
the price was reasonable.
Town engineers, McCormick
& Rankin, will be asked to re-
port on a D of H claim'for pay-
ment of $261.90, covering an
application of linseed oil to the
new sidewalks installed on
Goderich Street East a year
ago. An earlier elaim in a larg-
er amount had been withdrawn.
The Iaim represents item dis-
cussed in audit following pay-
ment of the contractor's hold-
back.
While the EMO co-ordinator
it doing a good, job, there is
little interest in emergency
Measures work, Reeve Dalton
said, as council tonaidered a
bid to attend- a planning ses-

in each case
• Seaforth tax rate will increase
5.8 mills, commercial and 5-9
mills residential this year.
This increase in the general
rate will .result in a rate of
86.6 mills public school resin
dential and 95.9 public- school
genunercial. The separate
school rate will be, residential
91.5 mills and commercial 101.3.
The' bylaw -- establishing the
rates and providing for a total
budget of $293,089.00, up some
$20,000.00 from, last year, was
passed in a few moments, bin
not until council had discussed
the rate in detail. Originally
planned at 10 mills higher, the
lower rate was established,
budgeting for a deficit of $20,-
000—the •same amount as last
year.. '
Decision to set the rate in the
lovver amount, came after Reeve
Dalton reminded council that
in providing sewer service to
the new hospital; it had been
agreed this would be done out
of surplus as a capital item.
It was not reasonable, he said,
that the entire amount—about
$21,000.00—be paid out of one
year's operation. .1
Last year council budgeted
for a deficit •of 520,000.00, but
when the year ended the sur-
plus was down to $14,000.00..
Referring to the services be-
ing provided to the new hospi-
tal, Mayor Flannery suggested
the county grant had been in-
tended to relieve -the munici-
pality. Mrs. Cardni pail -led out
that had there been a greater
voluntary contribution in the
hospital campaign there would
be no problem. As it was, the
town • . was,; providing services
Which benefitted everybody and
in which everybody participat-
ed.
Mayor Flannery "'reminded
council that when the hospital
Was in operation it Would pay
regular sewer charges. ,

The meetingwas the first in
two monthswhen there was a
full council. Mayor Flannery
on opening the meeting, com-
mented on the presence of two
new councillors, Frank Kling
and. Mrs. N. C Cardno,
. "I feel you definitely will
be a big help to 'council," he
said, as he promised every. as-
sistance in making them famil-
iar with their duties.
Mrs. Cardno, the first woman
to sit on a Seaforth council in
the 90 years since the town
was incorporated, thanked May-
or Flannery for his. remarks.

about the Arena. -
Last summer comet" estab-
lished the improvement of Vic-
toria Park as the project, but
lost interest as provincial .,offic-
ials pressed for more details.
In discussing 'the current pro-
posal, Mr. Donaldson said no
costs had been worked out, but
the committee felt the project
could include additional park-
ing, creation of a park area,
new entrance facilities, and an
improved front to the arena
There should be pride., in the.
structure, which should not be
permitted to deteriorate fur-.
ther, he said. , •
If ,the area was 'clevelopecil•
greater use could bemade of
the arena facilities, and it could
well. provide accenunodation for
youth groups.
Councillor Kelly said he had
been invited to attend a recent
meeting with a Lions commit
tee. to discuss Boy Scout mom.
modation. He suggested the
Lions could be expected to
assist in an arena project.
Mayor Flannery agreed to
arrange an arena commission

called no meeting ,had been -
held this year.
