MAYOR McMASTER RETIRES; Mayor and Reeve-
ACCLAMATION
(Mayor E. 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.

"Dear Grant, Mary, and
Boys, -•-+We hope eve didn't
cause too much, ineenveneiencre
when we asked you to join us
this evening, but we felt we
could not let you 'leave our
midst without gathering to say
farewell. It is with regret that
we see your stay among us ter-
minated but the changes are
necessary for the welfare and
happiness of all. We'll always
renie'mber the cheerful smiles
.and gracious hospitality that
.greeted any of us whenever we
dropped in for an evening or
for a few moments. It just won't
seem right not to see feu. little
smiling faces and four little
pair of hands waving as one
drives by the farm on con. 3.
Many ofus will feel a sense
of loss which well deepen as
time goes on just knowing that
you Grant and Mary are not.

the saying goes, "Our loss is
another's :gaibi", is certainly
true as far as the boys are con-
cerned for the change will mean
more companionship with Dade
dy, more family life, and we
would not wish it otherwise for
any of you. It will not be long
before you find new friends and
neighbors, the boys new school
chums and 'once more feel et
home. You 'are not going far, it
is hoped you will often be seen
hack in 'McKillop. We will not
say goodbye but older farewell.
good luck and much ,happiness
in your new home. As a token
of esteem .and a remembrance
of -your stay among us, we ask
you to accept this gift from
