The Seaforth News, 1958-11-27, Page 1WHOLE SERIES, VOL. 80 ELECT HE ACCLA ATI NS F At 9 o'clock Tuesday night t following had qualified for Se forth council for 1959 and we elected by acclamation: Mayor, B. F. Christie. Councillors, John Baldwin, D P. Brady, Nelson Carcino, Sco Habkirk, Thorpe Ravers, D John Turnbull. Two having qualified for reev William Ball and D. E. A. M Master, there will be an electro on Dec. 10th, - Mr. Cardno is a new memb of the council. Mr. Ball is a me -bel' of 1958 council, and Dr. M 'Master is a former Mayor of Se forth, The nomination meeting for the town of Seaforth was held on Monday evening with a good number of ratepayers . present. When the nominations closed a public meeting followed with Town Cleric A. H. Wilson presid- ing. Mayor Christie said: I can scarcely realize that a year has passed since I accepted the honor of serving you as the Mayor of our town. You will all realize that we have hail a very busy and eventful year. You also know that the projects and und- ertakings have involved a great deal of time and interest of your council. I can truly say that in my 13 years of service on the council I have never worked with a more congenial group of men around our eouncii table and I would like at this time to extend to *them 3110, sincere gratitude. I think it would be a good idea to outline briefly our year's work and the chairman of each com- mittee will go into more detail on these. The collection of taxes twice a year has saved the town apliroxi- mately $700.00 on interest. Then we had the difficulty over the Police Force. I'm sure you will agree this Inas been settled most satisfactorily. Our big project of course has been the new shoe factory, finding a suitable site and making arrangements for the property both for the factory and the approaching street. It has all meant a great many meetings taking time, work and Coopera- tion. The industries in our town osafxer all the most important features to be dealt with, as they mean employment for our citi- zene, and it takes happy busy people to make any town, so I don't feel we should be backward abort boosting our industries and giving the management a few words of praise and appreciation when we get the chance. The sewer extension is another Project and the council le work- ing hard to get it under way as soon as possible, The milk question was anoth- er item brought to the council for discussion as was the Mait- land Bank Cemetery. These mob- lems are all things that have to be looked into and dealt with as they come along by the members of council, The Union Gas com- ing to town was another irnport- ant transaction, You will agree 't has been a big asset to the town and added to ettr facilities. Many have made use of it and it is available to anyone at anY time. We will be voting' on the fixed assessment of the shoe factory on Dee. 10, I would like you to know that both Council and Chamber of Commerce have voted unani- mously in favor of this. I hope you will reach your local papers where it is explained most fully for you. We feel that this is not only a benefit to the present fac- tory but an inducement for any new industry that might be con- sidering our town to locate in.' Reeve Norman Scorns told the meeting the town's relief com- mittee of which be is chairman, would likely be within its budget of $2300 by the end of the year. This year's budget had been $300 higher than last year. The reeve told of his work at County Council as chairman of the County Home Committee. Plans have been macre for a large addition to the county home at Clinton. The county was spend- ing about $114,000 a year for hos- pitalization and much of this oonld be saved by building the new addition at the county home. Reeve Seo•ins said he expected the plans for the new addition would be approved before the end of the year. 13Ir. Scoina said the building would cost a million dollars and hall would be :paid by govern- ment grant. This would leave half a mullion to be paint by the county. Tho reeve said the debentures on the new court house would be paid this year and new deben- tures could bo issued for the .county's share of the new addi- tion without adding anything to the county tax rate. Reeve Scorns told the meeting he desired to retire this year 'from public Ii,•fe, and would not be a candidate, WilliamBall, nominated for reeve, had been chairman of the finance and industrial aomniilt- tees of the town council. Council had budgeted for a deficit of $2600 and would not be much over that. Taxable assessment in town was 31,600,000 and this would be increased by $50,000; by new construction this year. Total taxes in town are $7.32,000, Cab lectod so far this year $71,000 and 969,000 ar tl aue in D e ecember, he a- re tt r, e, 0- n er m- c - a Mr. Ball said arrears or taxes collected this year was $12,000 Which left $24,000 in ay'rears. This was' $10;000 less than last year at this time. Mr. Ball made no statement as to whether he would be a candi- date: Councillor Scott Hablcirk said the town's streets' committee, o8 which he was chairman, had been very active. Four blocks of new streets for the new factory had been planned. The budget had been $18,000 and over $14,000 had been paid out to elate, and the rest would be paid out before the encu of the year. Ili', Habltirk said he appreciat- ed the co-operation he had re= ceivsd from other members of the committee and the .whole council. IIe praised the work of the town employees, and •Ilarold Maloney as street foreman had been a very good adviser. Mr. ITablcirlc said he intended to retire this year unless he changed Tris mind before 9 p. g,1. on Tuesday. Councillor J. 0. Turnbull toll the meeting that when he had been appointed chairman of the sewage committee this year he had bad no idea the town would he in a large scale sewer pro- gram by the end of the year,. Dr. Turnbull recommended the town proceed with the program which has been outlined. The shoe factory is expanding and it. will be necessary to offer dile- (mate sewage if the factory is to remain in town. The situation at Scott Memorial Hospital was ser- ious. The Water Resources Com- mission had determined that raw sewage was entering the creek from the town storm drains, The 'MacLaren firm 'had drawn up a Complete sewage program for the town, Dr. Turnbull said. After many discussions about an overall plan from a long range economic view and provide lines in general areas, Council had de- cided.to go ahead. Councillor Tm'nbull told the meeting he was not attempting to review all the details at this time, but he agreed with the de- cision for the large plan rather than the short plan. Future councils should be able to pro- ceed and complete the system. In regard to the disposal plant Dr. Turnbull said the lagoon system had been discovered since the town's disposal plant was built. It was cheaper to bypass the disposal plant and scrap it rather than enlarge it to bigger capacity. It was unfortunate WO have a .new plant which Inas be- come obsolete so soon, A. lagoon would be cheaper and more effi- cient, Council all agreed there were many decided advantages to have the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission instal the sower system and finance it. In closing Dr. Turnbull said a couple of months ago he had de- cided to retire from couneil, but with recent developments be felt it was his duty to remain and help complete the project. Councillor John Baldwin said 11e is chairman of the property committee and had .also been on the police committee. The town house at the old water works had been closed and it was recent - mended that next year's council convert it into a garage for town tracks and implements. Everyone knew of the develop- ments in regard to the police, Mr. Baldwin said. He reviewed the events during the year singe the town had formed its own force. Council had to feel its way and get some experience. The first personnel had proved un- suited to the town's needs, and there had been the problem of car expenses. On the first of July the present force had taken over and the town bad bought a police car. Chief of Police Hutchison and Constable Sam Bates have handled things well. A, Calder has been acting as extra police- man to give the men a day off. The police budget was $10,000 this year, and might go a little over it.
