ing, July 9th, at 8 o'clock, Present

ier, Councillors I, 'Hudson, R. W.
Eberhart and J. Broderick, The May-
or presided. The minutes of the last
regular meeting acid special meeting
were react and adopted,
Councillor 'Hudson reported for the
property committee.
Several matters pertaining to court
of revision were before the council,
The Mayor reported having receiv-
ed a communication from immigra-
tion authorities at Sarnia, for a. re-
commendation in regard to a request
that the Teddy Allen family be allow-
ed to return to Canada,
)A request for a street light on
High street, just north of Market,
was discussed. Only two additional
street lights had been installed in
town during the past four years, the
Mayor said, Councillor Broderick
asked that a light also be placed on
the North side of Victoria park,
which was rather a dark spot. There
were a number of unused street light
brackets behind the town hall - and
these ought to be all in use, he said.
The -Mayor pointed out that street
lights each cost 110 a year, A motion
was passed to place the two lights.
A. nation was introduced by
Councillors Hudson and -R. W. Eber-
hart that the dog license bylaw be
enforced. Reeve Crosier enquiredif
hounds had to wear tags, pointing'
out that a hunting dog was not sup-
posed 'to have anything around its
neck, Trivial Cleric Wilson replied
that there were no exceptions in the
regulations.
A. communication/ was received re-
questing, rebate of scavenging tax on
a house that had been vacant a year.
No action was taken,
The Clerk read a communication
from . a Mr. Reycraft, re Ontario
Hunger March to Toronto this
month.
The Mayor reported that Mr, Mc-
Cully of Stratford, 'Relief lespector,
was here this week, and would finish
ou Tuesday. The 'Inspector had rec-
ommended the appointment of a Cit-
izen's Committee to care forreliefin
Seaforth next winter, tate members :
be one or two of .the relief commit-
tee of council, a Red Cross appointee
and other organizations, This system
had worked well at North Bay: the
committee investigated applications
and o.k,'d accounts before the Conn-
ell passed them. North Bay nas us-
ing Mauch cod liver oil, the Inspector
bad said, in fact the North Bay cod-
liver oil bill was greater than Sea-
forth's entire relief bill: The Reeve
caused a laugh by humorously inter-
jecting. that liquor might be apprec-
iated more than cid liver oil.
A conaennnicatiou front the
Ass,ciation of Rural Municipalities
with headquarters at Plantagenet.
Ont., was read; it contained a lis:
of recommendations to the Ontario
government. ,Letter was filed,
The -Mayor reported as Relief Of-
ficer that there had been ao relief this
month. '
Assessment -on gas puna.ps was
brought up, one owner having object-
ed to paying the tax in the belief that
some were assessed and others . were
not, The Roll was examined by coun-
cil and it was shown that all pumps
are assessed.
Town Solicitor Huggard's report
inn reg, td to the flour mill was- read.
There were two minor changes in the
draft of the agreement, and it will
be ready to proceed with taking the
mill aver i'hortly; A report of a sur-
vey of the trill by Arthur Powell,
local miller, was read. Oiling of belts
and machinery and cleaning is neces-
sary inrnaediately; the mill contains
one of the best installations of grain
flow systems in the country, costing
$9,000, The mill is too big and too
good to be operated as a local ,mill
RS it is really an export mill. Coun-
cillor
omecillor Broderick said that air. Powell
estimated be could do the oiling and
cleaning for $30. -
There are no new developments 111
regard to the C.7. M. situation. The
Mayor had examined the furniture
factory after a recent rain and found
only three leaks:
IA 'complaint had ,been made by re-
sidents of North Main Street about
cars speeding on the street. Most of
this speeding ideas done by through
traffic rather than local drivers, it
was stated, The Mayor said he had
requested the 'IIigh'ways Department
to erect warning signs three hundred
feet on the highway east and west
of the Main Street intersection last. Mayor,
PIONEER FAMILY REUNION
Toronto is not the only place hold-
ing a centennial celebration in 1034.
One hundred years ago the Broad -
foot Pioneers, five in nufuber left
their hone at Pic Mains Farrn" near
Lanquhar, Dumfrieshire, Scntlanili
and came to the Huron Tract. They
settled in Tuckersmith, Sandie settled
on the Mains Farm where the broth-
ers, Alex. and James, now live. John
made a house at. Spring Hill Farren
on the -Mill Road, one of the earliest
surveyed toads, so named because it
led to the Egtnondville Grist 11111.
This farm is now owned by John
Broadfoot, 'a great-grandson, James'
farm was at t'he Brig End. Agnes,
Mrs. Martin, settled on the second
con -cession and Sara, Mrs. Robt 1Mc-
Cartney, `wn the Mill Road.
It is interesting to note that these
pioneer farms have remained in the
elan for one hundred year, Little of
the dense forest survives. The Bay-
field River, on which pioneers journ-
eyed by raft or canoe to the mill at
Egmonclville; --- named for Calomel
VanEgcx ,nd, one of William Lycin
hlackenzie's supporters—has -shrunk
to -a mere trickle during the century.
The log house on the Mains Farm
has been supp'.attte1 by two prosper -
0115 homes built side by side •in a
clutup of spruce. and owned by Alex,
(Sandie) and James Broadfoot.
- The centennial celebration ryas
held here on July 11th. -Many of the
clan from the prairies, the. mountain
t
provinces and froth. Ontario have
gathered for the reunion in honor of
their pioneer fore -fathers, To such
families Canada owes iter political and
econontie position attttn:3 the nations
of the wor:'.i to -day.
•,A varied programme. was prepared
with .Alex. Broadfoot; Moosejaw, a=
chairtitan. Gauzes and spor ts, h,:th
old-fashioned :utd modern, were
heartily contested (luring the after-

Children are destroying green plum
trees irk town, it was reported.
The matter of re-imbursing Legion
officials for special police duty dur-
ing their recent parade was discussed.
