Mayor Cluff presided and all members of council were pre- sent: Reeve J. H. Scott, Councillors 5. E. Keating, M. A. Reid, F. Sills, R, G. Parke, C. Holmes and H. E. Snaith. Minutes df last regular and special meetings were read by Clerk D. H. Wilson and approved. The report of the Finance Committee was adopted as read, The usual grant to the Sea- forth Agricultural Society was given.. Councillor Sills reported that it would be advisable to keep the doors to the Council Chamber locked ex- cept when in use. A 200 watt bulb had disappeared out of one of the lighting fixtures recently and a can of alumi- num paint left. in the room by the painter shoring the week end also vanished. The auditors' report was accepted and payment of the auditors was authorized. Discussion of a police alarm sys- tem followed the reading of a letter which stated a representative of the Bell Telephone Co, would give in- formation about operation; when the change in the telephone system is be- ing made this year, was considered a suitable time for installation of such a system. Mayor Cluff explained that when somebody calls up wanting the police, the telephone operator can flash a red light out on the street 'which would be seen by the constable on duty. Councillor Parke said that the natter had'beeti considered for several years and he felt that it reit, hard for the telephone operator to 10- cate the constable and this way she could do it from inside. Councillor Smith said some towns have three lights and Listowel had four. The suggestion had been made to have a light on the projecting part of the portico at the front of the town hall. Further consideration was left un- til after the representative had been here to discuss methods and costs. A resolution was passed that tend- ers for purchase of debentures of Collegiate and Public School be ad- vertised immediately. . Councillor Sills brought up the question of having an assessment of all properties in the town made by the assessor who did the equalizing for the county, or any other outside assessor.. The question of such action arose following the recent meeting with the county valuators. It was felt the demaud for an assessment recog- nized by the department when paying subsidies, etc„ was becoming more and more necessary in ali towns, and brill rates could be lowered. Opposed to this view was the feel- ing of some councillors that a local assessor 'knew actual property values by local experience. The case of a town near Toronto was cited where almost all the large dwellings are de- serted as a result of lack of discre- tion. It was decided to leave further action until proposed assessment act revision in the provincial parliament had taken place, Councillor Smith referred to the an- nual topic of the rough condition of the road between the railroad tracks, saying he load seen Haat morning a car driven by a lady• driver narrowly miss a pole when her car went out of control on the bumps at a moderate speed. It was pointed out that coal sleighs crossing the tracks continual- ly found it unpleasant navigating the rough spots. Councillor Holmes, chairman of the Streets Cemnnittee, said if it were 'left until after the road was hare, they would see what could be done after suggestions :were made for using old asphalt the town had on the vacant lot, or for use of cement. The Finance Committee had a re- port prepared on a contributory pen- sion plan for town and utilities em- ployees. After some discussion it was decided only feasible to consider such a plan for a group of five, which was found to be the minin•uin number for a group, and a retiring age of 65.
