Ottawa Snowdon. Bros.,,. Publishers MAYOR McMASTER RETIRES; ACCLAMATION FOR CHRISTIE Mayor E. A. McMaster an. nounce'd his retirement as may- or Monday night at the rate- payers meeting following nom- inations. He said he had •deeded, to retire from municipal volt - tics as he had now served seven years as mayor, making a total a hi years in council. He gave a brief review of the progress :Seaforth had made during those years, including the new public school, large high„ school addi- tion,' excelle"nt streets, planting of maple trees, modern town of- fices, rest room in town hall, and forecast town- zoning within 18 months. He had enjoyed the work and 'felt satisfactionat what had .been ,accomp'lished. Referring to the present year, he said it was a year of progress with bhe rebuilding of the town ball. i1.ewould admit it had cost a lot of money, which does not appear on this year's tax bill. The P.C.C. had made plans for ..getting new quarters and the renovation was neces. nary to keep bhe P.U.C. in the' town hall. The 'recreation centre' had been a headache, but it had been badly in need of repainting and cleaning. Lions Club head their dinner there this week and it was now a place to be proud of. The break (down of the •refrigeration plant had add- ed to the troubles. He paid tri- bute: to bhe untiring efforts` of Bill Teall and John Baldwin for the time they had given to the arena: No. 8 .highway on Goderich street is rough, but he did not think it wise to have it surfaced until the server is put :down, to make connections to bhe hospit- al. Otherwise the hospital board will have to waste $3,000 on fa- cilities which will only be good for a few years. Mayor McMaster suggested formation of a senior citizens _.ouncil, appointed by the coup - Cil, bo act in an advisory capac- ity. It could comprise former mayors, reeves and -other citi- zens whose advice would'r be helpful. Reeve +Scorns, as finance committee chairman, gave a brief outline of Seaforth's fin- ancial affairs. Assets include $,24,500 in bonds, 5117,985 in the approaching tax sale, and 516,89'8 in tax arrears. Liabili- ties include ,$227,383 public echool. debentures, '5139,000. high school debentures, Sea forties share of which is 17%, -$27,000 community centre, and 589,000 for sewers. He expected the relief com- mittee of which he was chair- man, will keep within its esti- mate of $2,400 for the year. To the end of October the costs had 5458 for direct relief and 294:9 hospital indigents. .45 reeve he was on the county home cot�anittee and had found there is prejudice against the county home as a 'place of residence. There is no basis for this, :becausre anyone visiting the home will find . it very accept- able. The county mill rate hadbeen raised because a fund is being built up for roads. At bhe pre- sent rate it would take 200 years to pave the county roads. The road system is a good in- vestment, he said. Frank :Kling, P.U.C. chair- man, reported that a new office, board room, store room and a work shop had been built during the year. (Rebuilding of the power feeder lines on bhe east side of Main street was com- pleted, also the line' behind bhe west side of Main. street. Four flourescent street lights were on East Goderich street on a trial basis, and it was hoped soon to anake permanent light- ing of this type there. Water- works activity had been cur- tailed but the 2,200 volt stand- by motor at the pump 'house' is being changed over to 550 volts. Mr. Kling forecast the possibil- ity of slightly cheaper hydro rates here. The P.U.C. has no outstanding accounts, collec- tions :being 100 per cent. Councillor B. F. !Christie said he -had found being chairman of the streets committee quite a job. He gave a summary of the expense on streets and coanpari- son. with 1956: (Highways in 1957 were 57,551, snow removal 5666, ,drains :51913, sundries 5718, sidewalks $11r829, :grader 51479. to rebate of 50% is re- ceived :from '•the'r province on costs of streets, snow removal and grader. Asphalt had been laid on sidewalks by town men, 1481 sq. yards and 228: sq. yards of custom work, for a total cost of *037, less custom work re- ceipts 2465, making a net cost of '5381. The previous year a construction firm had received 512r896 for 116110 yards on. - ,the. west side of Main street. Councillor .Scott Habkirk said his 'property committee had budgeted for +$4600 and spent 54000 to date for heat, eight and 'maintenance on the town hall, etc. III' work is done on bhe second- floor ,of the town ''.hall next year it would mean a+high- er budget. He would not run for mayor. :Councillor John Kellar said the fire and water budgetof costs from the town hall reno- vation. He thought the should pay more :rent now that they had better accommodation. !Councillor Wm. Ball said the parks committee had spent only about half of their budget of x$200. Councillor John Turnbull ex- plained about Seaforth chang- ing from the Provincial Police to a, town police force. • Councillor Thorpe. Rivers said he would not run as reeve' and would decade later about council, W. T. Teall, public school board chairman, said the pupils vary between 320 to 340 .due to coining, and going ofair force families. Things are going smoothly. Woodwork had been painted and there are no main- tenance difficulties. He paid high tribute to Robert Joynt as caretaker. Teachers' salaries 'are a problem over which the board has no control. An 'agreement will be made before next June providing for an annual en - crease :in, salaries to meet the rising cost of living. As chairman of the arena oommis'sion he said many people had no idea why so much has been spent at the arena. We spent money because we had to; not bepause we wanted to, Me. Teall said. 51000 had been spent on redecorating, not ex- pecting any other expense. Then trouble developed in the ice plant. (Needed parts for the compressor were rushed in feom Omaha +by air express, then it was found more parts were needed and these were phoned for. When the machine was started it was found itwouldnot freeze and it was .discovered the tubes in the condenser were leaking, requiring replacement of all 66 tubes. He felt the ar- ena should be operated under the town council, :but this will not be possible until it is com- pletely paid for, as balance of 54500 is 'owing for the tes'razo floor. Reeve ,Scoins thanked the ratepayers for his acclamation and said while he was not a contender for warden this year he would seek the Good Roads commission.
