A. McMaster an- mounced his retirement as may or Monday ni'g+ht at •the rate- payers ,meeting following nom- inations. He said he bad decided to retire from municipal 'poli- tics as he had .now served seven Yeats as mayor, making a'' total of 111 years in council. He gave a brief review of the progress Seaforth had made dieing those years, including the new public school, large high school addi- tion, excellent streets, 'planting of maple trees, modern town of- fices, west room in`to!vin and forecast town zoningwithin 18 months. He had enjoyed the work and, felt satisfaction at what had (been accomplished. 'Referring to the present year, he said it was a year of progress with 'the rebualdin'g of the town hall. He would admit it had cost' a lot of money, which does not 'appear on this year's tax (bill. The P.D.C. had Trade plans for .getting new quarters and the ren'ayation was •necese sary to keep the P.U.C. in the town hall. The s'eeneation centre had been a headache, but it had been badly in need of repainting and cleaning. Lions Club held 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. Ile paid tri- bute to the 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 sewer is put down, to makeconnections to the hospit- al, 'Otherwise the hospital board will have to waste $3,000 on fa- cilities which will only •be -good for a' few years. - Mayor McMaster suggested. formation of a senior citizens -•eo-urer91, appointed by the coun- cil, to act in an .advisory capac- ity. It could comprise former mayors, reeves and other citi- zens whose advice would be helpful. Reeve +Scoins, as finance eommittee chairman, gave a brief outline of 'Seaforth's fin- ancial affairs. Assets include +$,24,500 in bonds, $0.7,98$ in the approaching tax sale, and $16,898 en •tax arrears, Liabili- ties include $227,383 public school debentures, 4,139,000 high school debentures, Sea for.th's share of which is 17%, . +$27,000 conununity centre, and $89;000 for sewers. He expected the relief com- mittee of avhich be was chair- man, will keep within its esti- mate of $2,400 for the year. To the end of !October the costs had --been $458 for direct relief and 1$949 hospital indigents. As reeve he was on the county home committee and had found there is prejudice against the county home as a place of residence. There is no basis for this, because anyone visiting the home will find it very accept- able. The county enill rate had been raised because a fund is being. built up for roads. Al+the 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 new office, board room, store room and a work shop had been built 'during the year, Rebuilding of 'the power feeder lines on the east side of Main street was •com- pleted, also the line behind"- the west side •of Main street. Four flourescent street -lights were on East Goderich street on a trial basis, and it was hoped soon to snake permanent light- ing. of this type there. 'Water- works activity had +been cur- tailed but the -2,200 volt stand- by inotor at the pump house is being changed over to 550 volts. MT. +Kling. forecast the possibil- ity of slightly cheaper hydro rates here. The P.'U.O. has no outstanding accounts, collec- tions 'being 100 per cent. Councillor IB, 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 compari- son with 1966: !Highways in 1157 were $7,561, snow removal $666, drains +$1.912, sundries $718, sidewalks $182'9, gradier $1479. +A rebate of 50% is re- ceived from the 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 01007,' less custom work re- ceipts .$465, making a net cost of $5+81. The previous year a construction firm had received $12896 for ,16110 yards, on the west side of Main street, 'Councillor Scott Habkirk said his property committee had (budgeted for +$4.600 and spent $4000 to 'date for (heat, light and ,maintenance on the town hall, etc. If work is done on the second floor of the -tonin hall next year it would mean a high- er budget. He would not run for mayor. 'Councillor John 'Kellar said the 'fire and water 'budget of +$2000 would .be exceeded by .over 1$400 because of added FOR CHRISTIE costs, from the town haul reno- va+tion. He thought the P.D.C. should pay more rent now that they' had better accommodation. 'Councillor Wen. Ball said the parks committee bad spent only about half of their budget of 1+200. Councillor John Turnbull ex- plained about Seaforth 'chang- ing from the IProvineial Police to ;a town pollee force. 'Councillor Thorpe Rivers said lie would not run as reeve and would decide later about council. W. T. Teall, public sehool board ehailenansaid. the pupils vary between 330 to 340 due to coming and going of 'air force families. Things are going s'mo'othly. 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 in- crease in salaries to meet the rising cost of living. As' chairman of the arena eommiseion he said many people had no idea why so much has. been spent at the arena. We spent money .because we had to; nob because we wanted to, Mi. Teall said. $1000 had been spent on red'eeorating not ex= pecti'ng any other expense. Then trouble developed in the ice plant. Needed 'parts for the compressor were rushed in from '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 it would not freeze and it was discovered the tubes in the condenser were leaking, requiring replacement of all, 66 tubes. Ile 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 $4500 is owing for the terrazo floor. Reeve 'Scaling '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.
