Superintendent H. Maloney and
staff were doing. He told of
events leading to the purchase
of a new grader at $5,200, and
said the company had allowed
$2,000 for the old grader, when
all other Suppliers had said
there was no trade-in value. He
suggested new sidewalks be

75 per cent of the cost. Mr.

MAYOR'S REVIEW INDICATES
MUNICIPAL ACTIVITY IN 1962'
In reviewing municipal activi-
ty during the year at the rate-
payers' meeting Monday eve-
ning, Mayor Daly recalled the
improved accounting and office
procedures that had been
adopted a year -ago, and which
now were paying dividends In
better overall efficiency.
Further chang-a contemplat-
ed, he said, will be reflected
next year in tax `notices and
assessment notic6s arriving
earlier, courts of revision and
tax sales being held on schedule
and in general, the business of
the town being up to date at
all times. It will also result
in prompter payments of grants
owing to the town. The Govern-
ment won't give us grants, he
`said. till we ask for them and
we have to have our books in
order to know what we want.
An example was subsidy on
street work which this year will
amount to $12.800, up $1600
from previous years.
More realistic budgeting had
reduced surpluses which had
stood at $17,000 in 1961 and
$10,000 in 1960. At the same
time, it had been possible to
reduce the tax rate by 4 mills.
He warned, however, that ad-
ditional costs would be faced in
future years arising from capi-
tal projects.
. Arrears Reduced
The overall- financial position
of the town was much improv-
ed.
"A year ago last .January,
arrears were $64,000. Last Janu-
ary this figure was reduced
$10.000 to $54,000," Mayor Daly
said. "At the present time our
tax arrears are something over
$15,000. To this $15,000 figure
we will have to add 1962 taxes
still unpaid on Dec. 31 of $28,-
000. This year we moved the
second payment date back to
October 31. as we felt that Dec.
15 was too close 'to Christmas
and too close to the end of
the year. We hope to get a lot
of that $28,000 in before the
end of the year."
The mayor reviewed the ac-
tion taken regarding the sewer

Tribute To Employees

when it was found a conversion
program was not possible in the
existing 80:year-old building.
Cost of fireproofing was not ec-
onomical, and construction was
such that additional floors
could not be added. Approval
had been received for a new
hospital of 48 beds—an increase
of 15 over existing accommo-
dation of 33.
Referring to the campaign to
raise $195,000, he said the
OHSC does not contribute to
construction costs from ,insur-
ance premiums. These are used
for operating costs only.
Ratepayers took part in the
proceedings following comple-
tion of reports and questions
ranged from sewer rates to an
amount of $1700.00 spent on
repairs to a boiler in the Town
Hall. They included references
to the lack of a plan of the
existing sewers and the need
for careful inspection;.. to the
fact the OWRC • would operate
the new sewers; to action of po-
lice in connection with a citi-
zen's complaint regarding care-
less driving.

the town money.
"With the purchase of an im-
proved grader a short time ago,
we have put our public works
equipment in top shape. I'm
sure our capable town foreman,
Harold Maloney, must be pleas-
ed to have such good equip-
ment to work with. All he wants
now is a home to house the
equipment, and I'd like to see
this included in 1963 plans.
"I feel that relations 'with the.
police, under Chief Sonstable
Hutchinson, have improved this
year, and a better job is being
done. They do operate under
the public eye at all time and
are therefore subject to every
criticism. That doesn't say that
we shouldn't work for further
improvement In connection with
town employees, we are intro-
ducing a Government sponsored
pension plan, effective Janu-
ary 1st.
Another new town employee
this year is our new assessment
commissioner, Don Haines. He
has done a fine job and should
show further improvement as
he becomes better acquainted
with the town."
Seaforth can have a bright
future, Mayor Ddly indicated.
"In the business world, we
know that a smart show window
pays off in increased business,"
he said. "The same thing ap-
plies to a municipality. I like to.
picture Seaforth 'a couple of
years from now-- with a broad
new highway through town, a
beautiful new hospital at the
eastern approach, a wide new
street with modern lighting to
the north, an expanded sewage
system in operation and, in gen-
eral, a town that is sure to
attract new people and new
business. You might add that
it will also include a mortgage
that will cover the town from
one end to the other, but I still
contend that improved effici-
ency in administration can
greatly offset any increased
costs"
While credit was due those
who year after year contribut-
ed of their time to. municipal
affairs, Mayor Daly found
younger married people do not
tend to make themselves avail-
able for 'service, especially on
school boards where they could
be most effective. He felt, too,
an improvement would result
if ratepayers had an opportun-
ity to learn of town affairs at
a meeting prior to nominations,
rather than afterwards.
In concluding,- the speaker
suggested the advantages of a
ratepayers' association, and also
urged early establishment of a
planning group to view the
• town as a whole and to chart
a course for future develop -
i ment.
