COUNCIL DEFERS DECISION ON NEW SCHOOL SITE With members of council present expressing the opinion that a new school for Seaforth should not be proceeded with until a vote of the people is taken, council on Monday night refused to grant a request of the public school board for sale of the Roberts and Buller subdivision at west end of Seaforth, until a inter meeting when a full council is pre- sent. Routine business of the streets committee was outlined by Councillor Close. Reeve Sills reporting for the relief committee called attention to bill for $290. as town's share for hospitalization. The annual tax by-law was passed. Transient traders license was granted to Mr. J. Rice for service station and garage. Building permits were granted to Canadian Bank of Commerce for new vault, etc„ cot $0,000; to 1:.0.0,6, to raise roof at rear of hall, cost $400; to Wilmer Howes for garage, cost $350. A. motion was passed that Town of Seaforth hypothecate balance of town bonds with Canadian Bank of Commerce against any future loans. A letter from County Health Unit re proper covering over of garbage was read and turned over to property committee. Notification was received from county clerk that two appeals against county equalized assessment, from town of Goderieh and Grey Township, will be heard before the judge ut September. H. Maloney asked that his work- ing hours on street be defined. Council agreed that he work an eight hour day, and when he starts at 7 to quit at 4, and that J. Cum- mings works from 8 to 5 with re- quest he ring fhe six o'clock bell. Councillors having disposed of the 7 a.m. bell previously were reluctant to also abolish the 6 p.m. bell. When the public school board re -1 quest was being discussed, 'Reeve 'Sills outlined his reason for proceed_; ing with extreme caution at this time. The town had spent $1120 on preparing the subdivision for build- ing lots, and it is the only revenue producing property the town has available; also if a school area is formed in a few years, the whole de- benture burden will rest on-Seaforth ratepayers until such time. Mr. Sills quoted 'Senator W. H. Golding as having stated a similar 1 situation arose in 1923, when the then inspector said a new school was necessary. They bad a building in -1 spector come in, and his report was that with a few repairs the present school building was good for a hund- red years. In reply to a question if the coun- cil has power to call for a vote of the people, town clerk Wilson informed council they have power to refuse to pass the bylaw, and then the school board cannot proceed without a vote of the ratepayers. Or, if council does ' pass the bylaw, ratepayers have right to appeal to the municipal board. Councillors all expressed wish that a vote of the people be taken.
