Only five questionnaires were returned on this survey. All councillors were present at the June meeting, held in the coun- cil chambers, and Mayor Daly presided. Conducted by -the Department of Economics and Development, representatives were in Seaforth late May and spent a short while in ,town. Discussing the small return, Councillor Angus MacLean said he didn't think people really knew what the survey was all about. Thele should have been more adver- tising ' and possibly an open meeting, she felt, to overcome t h e misunderstanding that seemed to exist. Council agreed that the sur- vey was a hit-and-miss' affair and was carried out too rapid- ly. Mayor Daly said his under- standing was that the depart- ment would handle the survey, but the result looked as if the town was to introduce the sur- vey to the public. At an earlier meeting with a department official, the ..whole understanding was that the de- partment would handle the whole survey, taking 'about two weeks, while council estimated only one and a hall days were spent on the project. It was agreed by council that the department should be ap proached and council's com- plaint aired, requesting pos- sibly another survey in the fall, along with a familiarization pro- gram. Correspondence read ,by May- or Edmund Daly included a let• ter from the Retail Merchants' Association of Canada regard- ing by-laws restricting business advertising. Council endorsed the resolution. A letter from Seaforth Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, requesting a donation for the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, was filed. Reporting for general govern- ment, Councillor N. C. Cardno informed council that an agree- ment had been signed with Tuckersmith council for the use of the court room for their meetings. A proposition from Colborne township regarding group insurance for municipal employees was read to council, and the Seaforth group agreed to that township pursuing the matter. If the insurance should be to the advantage of the town, and at less cost than present, council would be agreeable to joining the suggested group. Sanction was given the gen- eral government committee for the purchase of a photo dupli- cator for the clerk's office at a cost of $432.50. The duplica- tor is of the wet process type. Councillor ' Earl Dinsmore presented a set of necessary legal papers covering a sum- mons under the parking meter by-law as used in the town of Mitchell. Council' approved the use of the forms for Seaforth. In his- protection to persons report, Mr. Dinsmore reported a committee meeting with the police. They had agreed, he said, to clean up a few of the complaints before the next council meeting. Approval was given for the purchase of four shirts for each of the police- men. Purchase of new uniforms was left until a- later date. Following the police report, 100 Years Old, - Turner's Church Plans Services' The congregation o£ Turner's Church is marking the "100th anniversary of its founding at special services on Sunday, and again on Sunday, June 24.

Questioned about what was (Continued on Page 12) Get Busy on Planning MOH Tells Council ."'"If you haven't thought of a good Planning Act, get. busy," Dr. R. M. Aldis, M.O.H., advis- ed municipal representatives in Huron county council this week as, he warned of con,di- tions which can arise from land subdividers' activities on lake frontage. "Already we are being de- luged 'by' subdividers and peo- ple putting up small cottages or additions" he reported, "and if some municipalities along the lake have not got a good plan- ning act,. I wish you would. They cram',lots in like sardines along the lake shore. There is no .public access and roads go in willy-nilly and a good lake front property is going to be wasted, They are going to be low -price properties, and cheap properties get turned into perm- anent homes, and bring welfare problems. 'There are pollution problems where they are jam- med in at small places, and there are more accidents on highways the more access to them, and our highways around here are getting busier and busier." Dr. Aldis mentioned publish- ed accounts of cake mix caus- ing.sickneos and said: "We feel we have had some of that in this area.

Ethel Dennis recalled inter esting facts. concerning the his - Assess Across County Council fold "There again- bas heel) anti: crease in valuation in every municipality in the county, with a total increase of $892,082 in assessment from 1961," Asses- sor Alex Alexander reported to Huron county council At the opening sitting of its June ses- sion. The total for high school assessment, $62,394,786, com- pares with $61,500,104 last year. Goderich assessment, $6,61Z- 475, is up by $158,140; Exeter's at $2,923,193 is increased $98,- 354; Seaforth assessment stands at $1,797,563, a rise of $60,760, and Wingham was up $31,500. to $2,612,150. These are all county equalization totals. Stephen townships shows a substantial drop in county eq- ualization total, . but not in as- sessment for high school pur- poses, up only $26,000 at $3,- 770,350. 3;770,350. A similar' change ap- plies to Tuckersmith. Hensall's assessment has risen by $42,620. An item of "mines profit," shown in Schedule 'C' of the report; was subject of an en- quiry by Reeve Walker, of God- erich, where the Sifto salt mine is located. The figure, $130,400, is a special valuation, distinct from provincial and government property valua- tions. "The Assessment Act," ex- plained Mr. Alexander, "sets out how the fnunicipality where a mine is situated gets a sum of money back from the De- partment of Mines, which is a portion of what they collect out of profits- of the mine, and this would represent a portion of the profits of 1960. When you divide the mill rate of Goderich you will come up with an as- sessment which equals 5130,400. The relevant sub -sections of the Act are moved from Section 94 to 98. There is no change in the principle . involved. "In this last schedule to my report, column 12 lists the de- fenee properties, at Clinton, Centralia. -and'' a small part of - Stanley. The figures differ from last year's to the extent that on last year's report He had the two housing projects under county the balance of the bud- get."
