SEWERAGE BY-LAW
PASSED BY COUNCIL
Tho Seaforth sewerage bylaw was
advanced a further step on Friday
night at the regular meeting when
first and second readings were ,given
to the revised bylaw so that it can
be sent to the Ontario Municipal
Board for approval.
Asked if a'public meeting of rate-
payers will be held, Mayor McMaster
said that is up to the Municipal
Board,
The bylaw as read provides for a
frontage rate of 15c per foot on
properties where the sewer will run,
with an additional 25c per foot on
commercial buildings for a total of
40c, Balance of needed annual suns
to cover maintenance and debenture
costs to be raised through water
rates and direct taxation.
Councillor Crich objected that
there was no provision for considera-
tion for large commercial water us-
ers like himself, but was assured that
the bylaw gave council power to re-
view individual rates,
By request of Mayor McMaster
Mr. L. Walker, Department of
Highways engineer, Stratford, and
two other engineers, were present to
give information on the rebuilding
of No. 8 Highway, now in progress.
Council learned that the traffic
here is around 1000 cars a day on
No. 8, far below the capacity of a
two-lane highway which can safely
carry more than 5000 per day. The
highway link through town belongs
to the town, the department main-
taining 22 feet in the centre, any ad-
ditional width being paid for by the
town.
Councillor •Crich spoke on behalf
of taking the highway around Sea -
forth. The engineers said Seaforth
was luckier than most places as the
highway does not go up the Main
Street.
Mayor McMaster smilingly said
council two meetings ago had passed
a resolution asking for a provincial
highway on our Main Street.
.Councillor Christie said it would
look odd if we wanted a highway on
Main Street but not on Goderich St.
Councillor Scoins said he had been
in favor of a detour, but after hear-
ing the explanation of the engineers,
was convinced it was unnecessary. In
reply to a question by Reeve •Seoins,
the highway engineer said that no
qualified engineer would recommend
a by-pass at Seaforth and he could
not foresee the time when one would
ever be needed here. In towns where
traffic got up to 10,000 vehicles a
day, and he had to recommend a by-
pass, it was always a tough job to
convince the citizens a bypass was
needed.
Councillor Leslie asked if Sea -
forth was putting a float in the par-
ade at Blyth trade fair this week and
Councillors Sharp, Scott and the
Mayor were named a committee to
work with Frank Phillips on prepar-
ing a float. Councillor Leslie said
he had been asked to open the fair.
Councillor 'Close reported that the
streets conmtittee had planted 60
youngrant trees.
f $1 a tree owand
as passed for Mr.
P. Eisenbach who had supplied the
trees. 600 tile had been laid on Rail-
way street to drain a spring. He had
received a quotation from a Preston
firm to build a sidewalk on Market
street from •Sparring street to the
public school at $2.00 so, yd. three
inches thick.
A meeting is planned with Tucker -
smith re township water flowing on
the south edge of Seaforth.
Building permits. were confirmed
to: F. A. Dobson, new dwelling on
James Street, value $10,000; Jackson
Homes, frame dwelling, N. Main and
Welsh stn., $7,000; Sid Doimage,
dwelling, West William St., $7,000;
S. Shinen, store front, $800; James
Elliot, Chalk St., garage, $300; Wm.
Montgomery, rebuilding kitchen,
$400.
NO CRIPPLED CHILDREN'S
CLINIC THIS YEAR
At a meeting May 1.9 of the Hur-
on County Crippled Children's Asso-
ciation, it was learned that there are
not enough cases of crippled children
in Huron County to warrant a clinic
this year. But after the 40 cases re-
ported have been further looked in-
to by Miss Elizabeth Wallace, of the
Ontario Society for Crippled Child-
ren, London, those needing specialist
advice or treatment will be taken to
Victoria Hospital, London, at a later
date, ,possibly late in June.
IDr. E. A. McMaster, Seaforth, pre-
sided at the meeting in Huron Coun-
ty Health Unit offices, Clinton.

SPORT SHORTS
Following last week's Athletic As-
sociation's hockey banquet, it ap-
pears that the sports picture in Sea -
forth will be at a standstill for some
time. At present the Athletic Associ-
ation has no plans for summer sports
activity in the town, and if any ac-
tion is to be taken it will probably
be done by the Legion.
Even in Legion headquarters there
remains a great deal of uncertainty.
It is hoped that either a softball or
baseball team can be organized. Fur-
ther information on this subject
should be known within the next few
weelts.
For the tennis fans, the Lion's
Tennis Court is back in operation
and during the last warm weekend
some .of the stronger supporters were
out getting in some of the early
spring training. The formation of a
tennis club this year appears a little
hazy, but no definite statements
have been released by last season's
executive..
