Seaforth Council . at the Seet- enther meeting. instructed Clerk E,M.Wllltams to prepare a n analysis setting out difficulties in the report as far as Seaforth was concerned. His analysis and omments follow. A study of the • port re- veals several features which raise serious doubts about its validity as a serious demographic study of the region generally and the Tow" ofSeaforth specifically. Obviously the report is based on statistical analyses aid this method can not produce valid re alas unless up-to-date, valid statistics are used. For example, in dealing wi the labour force the latest data used is from 1961 and a performance or functional rating which reflects this • fact can have little validity today. Similarly, the use of population data which is 4 years old can produce misleading results and this is particularly true of, the Town of Seaforth where the down- ward trend evident in 1966..has now been reversed with a 3.3% increase over the 1,967 low. Cerlain'y statistical analysis is a valuable tdol but unless the statistics are used 'with care arid with a proper understanding of their derivation and-context their use very ; often border's on 'misuse'. This report seems to be an academic study of avail- able statistics with very little field work on 'the pa -t of those preearile It. For example, the Town of Seaforth has an unusual feature which gives it a .much- higher effective population than is evident from ,statistics. Sea- forth has two suburbs, called Egmondvilie and Harpurhay, which have a corn' fined population of about '7 ,50 and which have been growing at a faster rate than Seaforth itself. These built up areas are statistically part of the Township of Tuckersmith but are geographically contiguous with the Town of Seaforth and it Is no: obvious to a stranger that they are not within Seaforth tome litn'ts. The residents are, for all pu rposes other than municipal control and taxatioa ' residents of the Towa of Seaforth. If the population of these built up areas had been ,considered ae, effectively resident in Saafeeth it is not unlikely that the "2" score range of the Towee',Ip of Tucket- smlh would have been e0.840 to -0.251 instead of as shown. This feature is not evident to anyone not fa.m'llar with the local scene but 'without considering It no realis!ic evaluation of population trends can be made. The same blind use of statis- tics coupled with a desire to simplify is probably the reason fir the ridiculous presentation in Figure 5. Here all iecorpor- ated menicipellties with a point- atioa of less than 2500 are lumped together with the adjacent town- ships to produce a population density chart. Thus the Town of Seaforth, with an area of 575 acres and a population of 2218 in 1969, is shown' as having a population density of 100 - 393/ sq. ml. Even without any con- sideration of the aforementioned effective population it is not only ridiculous but potentially damage ing to so grossly misrepresent a municipality which actually has a 'density of 2464/sq. mi. In Chapter VII the evaluation of Urban Growth Potential would seem to reflect the aforemen- tioned lack of knowledge of the area or the conditiong existing. We are concerned that any de- cisions made regarding develop- ment pt'egrame may be based oh this unrealistic analys's of potential. In eeamininge the 'ratings given in Table 7.6 we note the following: 1. Provincial and Federal Government services,. 1969. Sea- forth and Exeter are rated 6 and Clinton 4. However, Clinton is shown• in Figure 30 as having a National Defence presence and a National Revenue presence which do net exist. Also Sea- forth is not given, credit for a detachment of 0. P P. which serves the surrounding area. Using the weighting scales of footnote No. 4 it is difficult to understand why all these munic- ipalities do not rate 4. 2. Growth Prospect of the Econ- omic Base 1969. Exeter is rated 3, Clinton 4 and Seaforth 5. There seems, to "be little correlation between this rating and the rating of other measures whidh would seem to be impo-rt- ant to ''gr iwth such as: - Trade Area Size, 1969, where each rates 4; Trade Area Population where each rates 5; Manufacturing Em- ployment, 1969, where each rates 5; Population Growth of Centre, % change 1961 to 1968, where each rates 4; Retail Sales C ' change 1961 to 1966, where Exeter and Seaforth rate 3 and Clinton 4; Manufacturing Employment % change 1961 to 1968., where Sea- forth rates 3, Exeter 4 and Clin- ton 5. 3. Accessibility Rating of Cen- tres, 1969. Exeter and Clinton are rated 3, Seaforth is rated 4. Again theee ratings are difficult to reconcile with footnote No.11 and the existing situation. All three centres are served by east- west and north-south highways with Exeter being nearest to a freeway interchange and Clinton most remote. Clinton and Sea- forth are served by C.N.R. with 'both passenger and freight fa-, cilities whereas Exeter has no rail passenger service and onlf limited Freight service. Clinton is closest to a port facility while zeter is n of remote but Exeter Is closest to a major airport and Clinton is most remote. On balance it would seem that all three centres should be rated equally. 4. Water and Sewer Spare Ca- pacity, 1968 and 1969, Seaforth is rated 4 while Exeter and Clinton are rated 3 but no con- sideration seems to have been given to the fact that Seaforth has been working with D.W.R.C. since 1966 toward an improved and expanded sewage treatment facility which is now projected to be operational in 1971. Tnis is the only system placing any re- strictions on Seaforth at present and will cease to do so when the new plant is operational. Furthermore, the parameters given for ratings 3 and 4 refers to 'systems' and 4 refers to 'either' water or sewage. If this is an intended difference the ratings would seem to be in reverse of the proper order. The term 'system:,' seems to moan both water and sewage and this would be a more severe disadvantage than a restriction due to only one system as implied by the term In Chapter V111 some goalS, needs and priorities are sug- geeted for the region. It is our hope that the implementation of these goals will not be attempted on the same academic bagis that has been evident throughout this report..Problem solutions which are academically ideal are not necessarily practica4 solutions for large high density. populations are not- necessarily applicable to less compact regioea and the same so- lution is not ne essartly advan- tageous for all parts of a region. The Council of the Town of Sea- forth suggests a heuristic approach to the attainment of goals would be more appropriate than that used in the recent past; not only would it be more palat- able but would largely avoid the generation of ' secondary problems. We suggest That to properly define the rold.of the Province of Ontario in most categories of this report the Lions Seaforth Lions meeting in the Corneemity Centre Monday evening set in motion plans for fall activities. President John Talbot discus-. sed a fortheom'eig peanut drive sched del for October 19th when Lions will make their annual canvass of the town. anivi rural relations dinner is set for N er 23rd. Coesideration was given a special draw to extend through- out the winter and culminating in a dance in early spring. Mayor F. C. J. Sills, a guest at the meeting, congratulated the club on the contribution it had made to the community. Smiles . The jury had deliberated for several days and finally filed back Into the courtroom.'"Have you reached a verdict."' the judge asked. "We have, your honor," replied the foreman, "but to make this trial as fair as pos- sible, we'd like to ask the defend- ant one question." "Go right ahead," said the judge, Turning to the prisoner, the foreman politely asked, "Do you want AC or DC current?'.' The wrinkled gypsy looked up from her crystal ball , to the gentleman seated across the table. "I will answer any twd quee- tekis you ask me,' she said, "for My dollars," "That's rather high,' isn't it?" asked the man. "yes ,it 'is," she chanted. I•Now what is your second ques- tion?" first part of the definition of 'Goal' at the bottom of page 148 might wall be paraphrased to read: ' "Goal - To assist each reg4on or municipality to at- . attain its full poten- • tial." We further suggest that the above definition might well stand as a full statement of the basic role of the Province. We feel that the locarmunicipal governments are in the best position to judge the needs and aspirations of their people and that' the Province should, insofar as -it is ::onsistent with its responsibility to the tvl..ole province, restrict its assistance to the attainment of goals In those areas defined by those directly concerned.
