ed. • The letter had been re-

there hadn't been time for a

result there were no recom-

• Police are .working 48. hours

this was agreeable to them,
Mayor Flannery said in answer
to a query by Councillor Don-

Pointing out the need . for.
early consideration; Councillor
Kling reminded council there
were 168 •hours • in the- week:
If the three men worked all
the time, with only one on
duty' at a time, it provided only
144 hours. This didn't take in-
to consideration holidays, court
work, orw
ti�.e-, when all men
must be on duty, he said.
Chief Hulley, who was at the
meeting, agreed with Council-

The centennial project has

Victoria Park proposal, but has
taken no action, since provin-
cial officials requested details
as to what was contemplated.

The Centennial Commission
advised council that the Cen-

No More
Late
Sessions?
There are going to be no
marathon council meetings in
the future if, members 'of coun-
cil can 'prevent it. In the dy-
ing hours of the meeting • Mon-
day night, which ran on until
nearly one o'clock Tuesday
morning, Councillor Jas. Kelly
introduced a motion which
gained unanimous consent and
which called on :committees to
do a greater' degree of pre-
paratory work, and to iitake
formal recommendations so
that council • business could be
expedited. Councillor Flanni-
gan suggested committee chair-
men approve accounts prior to,
the meeting.
Council in other business:
Considered 'a'. request from
Murray Dalton, animal control
officer, for $3,00 a- week retain-
-ert plus $5.06 -far each dog he
catches. This is the a'range-
ment in, Tuckersmith, he said,

The necessityof looking
ahead and determining an or-
der of priority for road and
construction was emphasized
when Seaforth council Monday
evening considered a prelim-
inary report by representatives
of MaeLajen Associates, who
are designing a storm sewer
for the town.
Douglas Smith told council
that plans of the system were
well advanced and should* be
ready within a few weeks, but
before completing them it was
felt council should suggest an
'order of priority for road con-
struction over the next few
years. In this way the priori-
ties
riorities could be attached to the
storm 'sewer work, He empha-
sized •that . before permanent
paving .. could be considere5,
provision should be made for
both storm and sanitary sewers.
He recalled the events lead
ing up . to the construction of
the storm sewer on North Main
Street two Years ago. At that
time, because of the urgency
of the work, the Sewer was de-
signed to serve only. the road
itself. Now,' in "order to pro-
vide storm drainage through-
out the •area, an additional
sewer must be constructed. He
would hope that such a situa-
tion could be avoided in other
areas by planning In advance.
In this way, substantial savings
can result in most cases.
Reeve Carl Dalton " agreed.
"We don't know . when_Main
Street and Main Street South
will be done, but it won't- be
too long, and certainly it will
be wise to share a seeder line
with the county' and to provide.
for all the needs of the area
in one line," he said.

agreed that Silver Creek would
probably have to be deepened,
and thatthis, would be con-
sidered.
- Can ,Save Money
To suggestions that funds
were not available; for addition-
al construction work, WT. -polio
agreed a complete -program
would be quite expensive, but
the advantages of having, a .re -
port and plan is „that there is
knowledge of what the ulti-
mate aims' are. In this way,
construction 'can. be spread
over as many years ,asare: de• .
sired, or as may be necessary
because of shortage of funds.
When the over-all project is
finished, however, there is as-
surance that the work fits to-
gether.
• Referring to the water dis-
posal problem in the SDR&
area, Mr. Kling asked • whether
engineering advice had been
sought so that corrective steps
could be taken and the cost
distributed over all the areas
benefiting. Reeve Dalton said
the situation seemed to have
cureditself; and as 'a result
nothing else had been done. r.
Mr. Smith told aeouncil .this
could he considered as part of
the storm sewer survey now un
der way,
He agreed in answer to a
question that a basic sanitary
sewer plan already existed ..and
had been prepared by his. ,firpa,
about 10 years ago. As far as
he could recall, the next re-
quirement would be that dis- -
posal facilities be improved.
It was agreed the engineers
would include in their study -re-.

to the Main Street proposal,
since early approval is expect-
ed of . a development road pro-

ver Creek and the outlet. that •
is, being provided to parts of
McKillop: Existing, drains • in'
the town are to be determined
and where possible these will
be incorporated into the pre -
posed scheme.
OWRC Asks Action
Later in the meeting, council
considered a letter from the
Ontario Water Resources Com-
mission, asking what action had
been taken as a result of . a
letter in January „of 1964, sug-
gesting improvements must be
made to disposal facilities.
Mayon Flannery recalled dif-
ficulties there .had been in pre-
vious meetings with the OWRC,
but suggested possibly a fur-
ther meeting should be held to
determine priorities. •
Couneillor Harry Donaldson
and Councillor Kling urged that
the establishing of priorities
was most important and could
result in substantial savings in
years to come. It was neces-
sary, they pointed out, that
!here be some plan and that
this should encompass storm
sewers, sanitary sewers. and a
