Sewer Tile Ltd. Includedin the program is the erection of a large cement block building, as . well as the erection of a steam kiln 170 feet in length. The building will have new machinery, be- - ing imported from Denmark, to permit manufacture of "cement I1 e 60 inches in diam- eter and six .feet in length. Present facilities permit pro- duction to a maximum or 39 inches. The new building will be erected west of the present plant i Harpurhey. Purchase of the machinery was confirmed Monday, accord- ing to Peter Christensen, who said delivery was promised for April 1 at Toronto, He said construction would begin early in March and production would be underway by mid-May. Also included in construc- tion plans is a silo to handle aggregate and cement. Opera- tion of the new plant will be automatic, with materials flow- ing to the mixers by gravity. Forms containing newly -poured pipe will be lifted. by overhead crane and : moved into the steam kiln onto a moving floor, which is a feature of the kiln and "which ,will run the length of the building. The kiln will have. a capacity of two ,days' production of tile, or 1200 feet of 24 -inch tile. • Mr. Christensen said a fea- ture of •the new machinery is that it makes possible use of a new type sealing gasket. At the moment, only one firm in Canada is equipped 'to produce concrete pipe with such a seal- ing feature, he said. Demand for concrete pipe has • Acknowledge Donations For Scout Camp Donations have started flow- ing in for the Boy Scout Build- ing Fund. To date, $78 has been received, of a total•objec- tive of $1,200. The money will be used for developing the Boy Scout camp site.

He pointed out that all buildings are to be erected by the Scout organization, leaders and mem- bers and by volunteer labor.

This demand in turn has led to the decision to increase ca- pacity of the local_plant. While, production here is be- ing doubled, thought, is also be- ing given'to'erection of a plant in the Brampton area, where- a site was purchased ,recently. Much of the production from the Seaforth plant is shipped to the Toronto area, and by manu- facturing anufacturing certain types of pipe closer to the market, savings on transportation costs would re- sult. ward Pins to St. James' -Grads Members of the 1961 graduat- ing class of St. James' School were honored Tuesday evening when the Catholic Women's League presented them with school pins.

The court adjourned at 11 o'clock after reaching a decision in but six of the appeals. The changes which the court approved were of 'a minor nature, involving transfers and clerical errors. Usually the court of revision on the„ assessment roll sits in October or November,' but was postponed because ofthe illness and subsequent, death early this year of Seaforth assessment commissioner, W. P. Roberts. Members of the _court are. Mayor Edmund Daly; -Reeve W. N. Ball and Councillors J. F. Flannery, N. C. Cardno and Neil Bell. County assessor.

She told the court the property had been sold at prices ranging from $1,375 in 1906, to $7,200. in 1950. Appealing an increase of $625 on a brick residence on Railway Street,' Mr. and Mrs. Jack Smith told the court there had been no improvements made.
