The Seaforth News, 1959-07-16, Page 1Seaforth 1V' WHO1.111 SERIES, VOL. 81 SDAFORTH, ONTARIO, TTIURSDAT, JULY 10, 1959 $1.8e 9 Year Authorized ae Sesond Glees mall, Poet Office Dept„ Ottawa Snowdon Bros.,Puhlishero WILL WRECK ONTEX FACTORY OWNER TELLS COUNCIL A proposal to tear clown tire' three-storey Ontex laetory at the Town Appoints corner of Jarvis and Market sts., was heard by Seaforth. town council at the regular July meet- ing held Monday evening, Other .important business be- fore the meeting was` a proposal by the sewer committee to put in a pumping station on West Wil- liam street and continue the use of the disposal plant now in op- eration, with minor alterations to take care of the increased flow. Present at the meeting were Councillors Habkirk, Rivers, Bra- dy, Cardno and Reeve Ballo May- or B.i F. Christie presided. W. R. Davis, owner of the On- tex building here, said the last time he had met with Seaforth town council was seven years ago when the firm was moving Here. Mr. Davis and council members exchanged their opinions in a frank and realistic manner and agreed each side had "head- aches." Mr. Davis submitted to council a 'plan for !publicity to sell the building, spread over a year and costing $250 a month, or $3,000 for a year. He asked council to share half the cost, in the hope that an industry would buy it. The publicity would be directed by a broker firm that specialized in industrial buildings and had a record of success. Council appeared not enthusia- stic about this proposal and said they would have to give it furth- er study. Mr. Davis admitted that in Southern Ontario there are num- erous factory buildings available., But with luck an industry might be found for the building. The •taxes on the °building are $1,000 a year, Mr. Davie said. In- surance and .maintenance is an- other $1,000 and with interest on the salvage value added, the yearly cost .totals $3,000. He estimated that nearly ten houses .mightbe built on the pro- perty including the Vacant lot on the south side of Market st. This should give the town at least the same revenue as now, he said. Councillor Brady reported to council about sewer matters. The Municipal Board :had been inter- viewed about the complete sew- erage plan for the town. The Board refused to allow the town to borrow the money, pointing out that Seaforth was now up to the limit of 25% of its assessment in debenture debt, which is the limit. Dr. Brady said they had inter- viewed the Water Resources Commission about putting a pumping station on West Wil- liam street to pump into the main sewer. Use of more chlor- ineshould handle the additional flow of sewerage, it was suggest- ed. The commission will send a man here soon to check over the details. Councillors estimated this plan would cost $100,000. Asked about extending the sewer on Goderioh strket west. beyond Louisa street, Councillor Brady said he thought this could be done so it would be possible 'to repave the whole of-Goderich street. Mayor Christie told council the flour mill had rented the lower floor of the old shoe factory for storage for a year at a rental of $500. They will vacate in 30 days if building is sold. Councillor Soott Habkirk led a discussion on policy for paving town streets. The past system of oiling the roads every .year has not worked out. It had been hoped after this treatment for' a number of years, a good smooth surface would be built up. How- ever, if the base underneath is weak, the surface has broken ev- ery winter and nothing has been gained. Councillor. Habkh'k suggested that two or three blocks be pav- ed each year. A firm base could. be put in and surfaced with asph- alt. The cost would be about $2,- 000 a block, and a total of about $5,000 annually could be assign- ed to this work. In the course of years the town would have first class roads with a solid base and good surface. 3,000 gallons of dust layer have been applied to the streets and we could use another carload, re- ported Councillor Habkirk. The town has repaired the road on Goderich street near thegas sta- tion where work had been done on the sewer, but he thought Somebody - other than the town should have paid for this work. Some asphalt sidewalks are being land. Council has been offered the power ,roller with trailer they are now using, Action was left to the property committee. An application by ` Cities Ser- vice to erect a billboard on their property was laid over. Council want to be sure it Will not ob- eti5net the view. Councillor N. Cardito reported that the ,bandstand *ill' be re- painted. , Council discussed .bringing the Nomination meeting abtl election day closer togbther~, At present they are separated by 16 :days, , and St Was suggested a Week is long enough. A. notice to change the, bylaw will be brought in at next .meeting, Council agreed .to place a.noth- erlight on Chalk Street between Acting Constable The three members; of Seaforth solice force have been called as witnesses in a case coming up in court at Goderich on Thursday morning. The charges involve three Seaforth residents in con- nection with a break-in at a local hardware store in the siring, Two of the accused are serving sentences in the county jail und- er a previous conviction. The oSeaforth town council has arranged that Harold Maloney, Illbe n street foreman,w sworn i s actin constable while the ns g b re- gular force 18 absent, so .that the town will not be without -police protection.
