PUC Theft Trial Hears
(Continued from Page 1)
Referring to a discussion with
John' F. Robinson, auditor, in
1963, about .arrears, •Mr..Mar-
tin asked: "Did he ask you why
arrears were so high?"
"I believe he' did,"
"Did' you give him any.rea-
son?" ii
"I might, have."
"Did you telrrirn,one of the
reasons was that it had been
the practice to apply payments
received upon the current bill?
Did you tell him arrears notices
had not been sent out during.
the year? In the preliminary
hearing you said you did .not
do anything after the/auditors'
report."
"I told Mrs. Boyes to, put
arrears on the bills." -
"I- suggest you never men-
tioned anything about putting
arrears on the Dills until the
auditors again brought it to
your attention -in • 1964."
"I remember telling • Mrs.
Boyes to 'put arrears on."
"Do you say • 1963, after.. the
auditors' first discussion with
you?"
"After it was brought to my
attention arrears were accumu-
lating, that is when I mention-
ed to her not to forget the
arrears."
Mr. Boussey, after more than
two hours under examination
by Crown Attorney W. G. Coch-
rane and Mr. Martin, was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Margaret Scott
and Mrs. Marjorie Bridge, for-
mer part-time employees of the
commission.
Mrs. Scott testified 'that ar-
rears were .shown en hydro and
water bills during the time she
was in -the office: She did not.
know of any daily balancing of
the cash register against the
stubs of bills paid.
Mr. Martin: "If anyone with-
drew a number of stubs from
the spike and an equal amount
of cash, you would not know?"
"No." •
Any partial payments from -
customers were'"applied to the
total," Mrs. Bridge said. Dur-
ing three months she had got
out . hydro bills pretty Much by
herself, and assisted with one
water billing.

tive members of Goshen United
Church, Mr. Lamont serving as
Elder. Mrs. Lamont is a mem-
ber of the UCW.
Mr. Lamont is affiliated, with

ed as. councillor , on Stanley

years. He Is a former treasurer
of the South Huron Liberal As-

Mr. and Mrs. Lamont have a
daughter, Margaret, Mrs. Mel-
vin Elliott, of Stant y Township,
and two grandchl ren, Bill El•
liott, • St. Thoma and Joan El-
liott, a re t graduate of
Stratford Teaeh rs' College.
They were the rediiiients of
many beautiful gifts, -flowers,
congratulatory n1e'ssages, in -
eluding a message from Prime
Minister,Pearson, from premier
Roberts, Hon. C. S. MaeTaugh•
ton, Minister of 1llghways,' and
a s ad, certl$eato.;,from the
Pro inch' S'edditir'y
collected?"
"Mrs. Boyes' said they would
probably be marked off." §.
"flit-. Sills says there we a
policy."
"I only know what Mrs.
Boyes "told me."
E. H. Ells, chartered account-
ant, London, was 'sixth of 25
'Crown witnesses, and the de-
fence has about a half-dozen.
Mr. Boussey was questioned
closely by defence counsel re-
garding sales .of material 'from
the Commission's warehouse.
Mr. Martin asked: "Who kept
the inventory?"
"There was no inventory
kept," witness replied; "tile ma-
jority of stuff' in there was sal-
vaged off jobs:"
"Nobody would ,Chow _.how.
much copper wire was there,
or wasn't?"
"The only way was to weigh
it, and that was done When . it
was sold." .
"What of other 'equipment,
copper pipe and ' things like
that?"
"If the odd contractor requir-
ed some copper pipe,' we would
sell it and a bill would be sent
from the office.
"No bill was made out -when
the material . was delivered to
the contractor?"
"rt, would be sent from the
office." -,
"Who physically delivered
the material?"
"Members of the PUC staff
gave to different persons what
they required and gave a memo
to the office or myself, and the
contractor was billed."
Judge Lang temporarily
checked a line of questioning
in which Mr. Martin asked: -
"Hew do you normally pay bills
for substantial amounts —
'cheque or cash?" •
"How is it relevant?" .inquir,
ed, His Honor. • -
"Circrknstantial evidence is
pointing in various directions,"
replied counsel. "If he paid
large amounts by cash, I sub-
mit it would be relevant• i3oth
he Wand Mrs. Boyes had access
t� the money. Cash is alleged
to have been missing. A num-
ber of people are aIIeged to
have had access to it, and any
large amount of cash in , the'
hands' of anybody with access
to it would be _ relevant."

west, and Egmondville to the
seuth," were the established
bpainess athd commercial areas.
It was not' until the coming of
the Buffalo and Lake Huron
Railway, and the discovery of
salt within the town limits, that
Seaforth was assured of a place
in the expanding community. ,
Paralleling the growth of
commerce and industry in 'Sea -
forth was the -inception and
growth of Masonry. Even
though Seaforth only had vil-
lage status (it was not incor-
porated as a village until the
year of Confederation, 1867,
and as a tdwn in 1875), cer-
tain members began to lay the
corner"stone of a work that in
the ensuing century has assum-
ed permanent proportions.
These included Alexander Slem-
mon, W.M.; Royal MeShea, S.W.;
Edward Hickson, J•W,; Robert
Nathaniel Brett, Richard Van-
nti • QJulius Duncan. Jhn Brett, Strong

The first Worship Master of
Britannia Lodge, No, 170, vias
Alexander Slemmon, who was
originally a Member of 'Clinton
Lodge, No. 84.
The Huron Expositor in 1869
recalls that the local Baptist
congregation held regular wor-
ship services in the Masonic
Hall until their chapel was
built.
In 1874' the 'present Lodge
rooms were leased for 20 years
at a rental of $100 a year. It
was then necessary to equip
nd furnish the ...new lodge
rooms for occupancy by the
Blue Lodge and the newly or-
anized Malloch Chapter. The
dedication of the new lodge
ooms took place on March 3,
.875: A banquet was also serv-
d 'on :that occasion with 37
members present from Britan-
ia Lodge and 25.guests, includ-
ng the acting Grand Master,-
. W. Bro, J. E. Kerr, and the
sting Grand Secretary, R. W.
ro. J. J. ,Mason, as well as
ther visitors from neighbor -
ng districts and lodges.
In 1882 the first recorded di
ine service was held by the
rethren of Britannia Lodge to
t. Thomas' Anglican 'Church.
ev. Bro. Jeffrey., Hill preached
he sermon. Twenty-eight mem-
ers ..and 15 visitors were ' in
ttendance.
In 1879 steps were taken to
ave electric lights installed in
he lodge rooms.
In June 1943, Britannia
odge was host to a very dis-
nguished visitor in the per -
on. of Bro. the Hon. John
racken, who 'addressed •the
dge in a very interesting and
onstructive manner. Britannia
odge .has had several members
ho, served faithfully in the po-
tical field, i.e. Bro. Thomas
cMillan and Bro. William
olding; the latter not only
rved for many years las sit -
ng member in the Hoose of
dmmons, but served in the
nate,-as well for many years,
ntil his death on' December 31,
61. '
Of More recent memory are
e arrangements which led up
the annual visits 'between
ritannia Lodge and Lincoln
odge, Detroit. Firm and last -

Britannia Lodge took steps in
1950 to acquire possession of
the building in which the Lodge
rooms are situated. After ac-
quistion it became necessary in
the ensuing years to rehabili-
tate sections• of the building,
and modernize the lodge rooms
with needed facilities. In 1965,
a lower section of the building
was converted into an area that
lends itself to social activities
in connection with the lodge
work.

PUC Theft Trial Hears
(Continued from Page 1)
Referring to a discussion with
John' F. Robinson, auditor, in
1963, about .arrears, •Mr..Mar-
tin asked: "Did he ask you why
arrears were so high?"
"I believe he' did,"
"Did' you give him any.rea-
son?" ii
"I might, have."
"Did you telrrirn,one of the
reasons was that it had been
the practice to apply payments
received upon the current bill?
Did you tell him arrears notices
had not been sent out during.
the year? In the preliminary
hearing you said you did .not
do anything after the/auditors'
report."
"I told Mrs. Boyes to, put
arrears on the bills." -
"I- suggest you never men-
tioned anything about putting
arrears on the Dills until the
auditors again brought it to
your attention -in • 1964."
"I remember telling • Mrs.
Boyes to 'put arrears on."
"Do you say • 1963, after.. the
auditors' first discussion with
you?"
"After it was brought to my
attention arrears were accumu-
lating, that is when I mention-
ed to her not to forget the
arrears."
Mr. Boussey, after more than
two hours under examination
by Crown Attorney W. G. Coch-
rane and Mr. Martin, was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Margaret Scott
and Mrs. Marjorie Bridge, for-
mer part-time employees of the
commission.
Mrs. Scott testified 'that ar-
rears were .shown en hydro and
water bills during the time she
was in -the office: She did not.
know of any daily balancing of
the cash register against the
stubs of bills paid.
Mr. Martin: "If anyone with-
drew a number of stubs from
the spike and an equal amount
of cash, you would not know?"
"No." •
Any partial payments from -
customers were'"applied to the
total," Mrs. Bridge said. Dur-
ing three months she had got
out . hydro bills pretty Much by
herself, and assisted with one
water billing.

They were the rediiiients of
many beautiful gifts, -flowers,

eluding a message from Prime
Minister,Pearson, from premier
Roberts, Hon. C. S. MaeTaugh•
ton, Minister of 1llghways,' and

"Mrs. Boyes' said they would
probably be marked off." §.
"flit-. Sills says there we a
policy."
"I only know what Mrs.
Boyes "told me."
E. H. Ells, chartered account-
ant, London, was 'sixth of 25
'Crown witnesses, and the de-
fence has about a half-dozen.
Mr. Boussey was questioned
closely by defence counsel re-
garding sales .of material 'from
the Commission's warehouse.
Mr. Martin asked: "Who kept
the inventory?"
"There was no inventory
kept," witness replied; "tile ma-
jority of stuff' in there was sal-
vaged off jobs:"
"Nobody would ,Chow _.how.
much copper wire was there,
or wasn't?"
"The only way was to weigh
it, and that was done When . it
was sold." .
"What of other 'equipment,
copper pipe and ' things like
that?"
"If the odd contractor requir-
ed some copper pipe,' we would
sell it and a bill would be sent
from the office.
"No bill was made out -when
the material . was delivered to
the contractor?"
"rt, would be sent from the
office." -,
"Who physically delivered
the material?"
"Members of the PUC staff
gave to different persons what
they required and gave a memo
to the office or myself, and the
contractor was billed."
Judge Lang temporarily
checked a line of questioning
in which Mr. Martin asked: -
"Hew do you normally pay bills
for substantial amounts —
'cheque or cash?" •
"How is it relevant?" .inquir,
ed, His Honor. • -
"Circrknstantial evidence is
pointing in various directions,"
replied counsel. "If he paid
large amounts by cash, I sub-
mit it would be relevant• i3oth
he Wand Mrs. Boyes had access
t� the money. Cash is alleged
to have been missing. A num-
ber of people are aIIeged to
have had access to it, and any
large amount of cash in , the'
hands' of anybody with access
to it would be _ relevant."

seuth," were the established
bpainess athd commercial areas.
It was not' until the coming of
the Buffalo and Lake Huron
Railway, and the discovery of
salt within the town limits, that
Seaforth was assured of a place
in the expanding community. ,
Paralleling the growth of
commerce and industry in 'Sea -
forth was the -inception and
growth of Masonry. Even
though Seaforth only had vil-
lage status (it was not incor-
porated as a village until the
year of Confederation, 1867,
and as a tdwn in 1875), cer-
tain members began to lay the
corner"stone of a work that in
the ensuing century has assum-
ed permanent proportions.
These included Alexander Slem-
mon, W.M.; Royal MeShea, S.W.;
Edward Hickson, J•W,; Robert
Nathaniel Brett, Richard Van-
nti • QJulius Duncan. Jhn Brett, Strong

The first Worship Master of
Britannia Lodge, No, 170, vias
Alexander Slemmon, who was
originally a Member of 'Clinton
Lodge, No. 84.
The Huron Expositor in 1869
recalls that the local Baptist
congregation held regular wor-
ship services in the Masonic
Hall until their chapel was
built.
In 1874' the 'present Lodge
rooms were leased for 20 years
at a rental of $100 a year. It
was then necessary to equip
nd furnish the ...new lodge
rooms for occupancy by the
Blue Lodge and the newly or-
anized Malloch Chapter. The
dedication of the new lodge
ooms took place on March 3,
.875: A banquet was also serv-
d 'on :that occasion with 37
members present from Britan-
ia Lodge and 25.guests, includ-
ng the acting Grand Master,-
. W. Bro, J. E. Kerr, and the
sting Grand Secretary, R. W.
ro. J. J. ,Mason, as well as
ther visitors from neighbor -
ng districts and lodges.
In 1882 the first recorded di
ine service was held by the
rethren of Britannia Lodge to
t. Thomas' Anglican 'Church.
ev. Bro. Jeffrey., Hill preached
he sermon. Twenty-eight mem-
ers ..and 15 visitors were ' in
ttendance.
In 1879 steps were taken to
ave electric lights installed in
he lodge rooms.
In June 1943, Britannia
odge was host to a very dis-
nguished visitor in the per -
on. of Bro. the Hon. John
racken, who 'addressed •the
dge in a very interesting and
onstructive manner. Britannia
odge .has had several members
ho, served faithfully in the po-
tical field, i.e. Bro. Thomas
cMillan and Bro. William
olding; the latter not only
rved for many years las sit -
ng member in the Hoose of
dmmons, but served in the
nate,-as well for many years,
ntil his death on' December 31,
61. '
Of More recent memory are
e arrangements which led up
the annual visits 'between

Britannia Lodge took steps in
1950 to acquire possession of
the building in which the Lodge
rooms are situated. After ac-
quistion it became necessary in
the ensuing years to rehabili-
tate sections• of the building,
and modernize the lodge rooms
with needed facilities. In 1965,
a lower section of the building
was converted into an area that
lends itself to social activities
in connection with the lodge
work.
