F. Christie presided, Councillor Brady asked that all estimates • by the committees should be prepared at once so the budget could be made up, Councillor ICardno said Mr. Ford of the Bank of Oommeree explained to him the conditions forthe town borrowing w ng dram the bank. 'Phe town was not to bor- row more than 70%' of the amount collected in taxes during. the year. With the town making two tax collections in the year it could easily occur that the town would borrow more than was col- lected Ln taxes. That was why the total or "aggregate" amount of the borrowings should be closely watched by both the bank .and • the town. Councillor •Cardno said Mr, Ford recommended that every ef- fort should be made to colleot the $40,000 in outstanding taxes to reduce the carry-over of ,$48.000 owing the bank. It- was .explained that some of the carry-over was dor work done on the town hall. Councillor Daly said the prop- erty committee had received corn =plaints about the misuse of the town hall. A lock had been put on the front door and it would be locked every evening at 6 o'clock and all day Sunday. Those who had business in the town hall should arrange before hand to have the doors open or a key could be obtained from the police, Councillor Daly said. He said the washrooms at the town hall were for •customers and it was only fair to lock It up atter six p,m. Councillor Daly said property committee budget during the past 10 years had averaged $5000, suf- ficient for this year. Council will offer the town scales to the coal dealers on - a yearly rental basis, the drivers to do their own weighing. Councillor Daly said the subject was a "hot Potato", and had found the deal- ers rather unhappy about the problem. Councillors had criticism for the work being done at the form- er theatre building. The cantract- or claimed no permit was neces• sary as work was an "inside" job, It was estimated the work cost • over $15,000. Councillor Rivers said street committee hadn't cost of clearing Main St. with a blower, but it was less. Mayor Christie said he got numerous calls about the plow tilling in driveways. The police had found a lot of cars parked overnight on road. Councillor Cardno said the fire and water committee would have a budget of $2500. They needed hose and chemicals. The cost of the rural truck would be extra. •Councillors said they had an in- quiry for the old shoe factory, but nothing definite. Mayor Christie read the police report. The budget was 413,500 for the year, quite • an increase. Councillor Flannery said there was a request for a water tap at the recreation grounds, also blea- chers. Building permits: Walter Mur- ray, Franklin St„ $7,000.00; G. A. Whitney, display, $700 to $800.001. Smith's Grocery. food :front, $1900. Council appointed Mayor Chris- tie as town representative on the Mid Western Development Associ- ation. T.he Chamber of :Commerce had two suggestions for council for liquor licenses: 1. Vote on dining lounge. 2. Vote on lounge. Councillors said it would be necessary to have 60% •mojority to •carry. A petition should ac- company the request. The cham- ber was looking at it from a ,busi- ness point of view. Council decid- ed to leave the queetion over to next .meeting. Council made a grant of $100 to the chamber of commerce . Councillor Flannery told council of his meeting with liquor control board officials in Toronto on Mon- day. He had been sympathetically received by the chairman.

Send 1959 Losses Up In the annual report to the pol- icyholders of the MoKiliop Mutu- al Vire Insurance Company, Pres- ident Robert Archibald says in part: "Cur losses this past year jumped •from $43,000 to $60,000; of this increase the direct losses were up $11,000 and the re-insur, ance losses were up $6,000, Gen- erally speaking premiums are re- gulated by the extent of the loss- es incurred. Despite the Piet that Insurance rates generally are be- ing increased throughout the na- tion it is the earnest hope of your directors that through mutual co- operation a sincere effort may be put 'forth to keep the trend of in, smarm() losses low. "One of the rnajor changes that the Company underwent was the ap loin rnent of a no secreta - pl t w ry treasurer in the person of W. B. •Southgate and the transfer of the headCompanyof the fficeis o to h office on Main street, Seaforth. The change has been made with a very minimum of contusion. "Tire new application and pol- icy forms have worked out very well and new forms for town dwellings, cottages, churches and schools are in the offing. The new re -insurance plan, which was ad- opted a year ago, and which the majority of farm mutuals are us- ing, saves a lot of work and elim- inates the possibility of .error in reinsuring. During the year •our 'Company suffered a severe loss in the pass- ing of Mr. E, 1. Trewartha, a di- rector of this Oompany for many years. Ile played an important part in the advancement of our Company." Major 1959 fire losses Include: John Carnoehan, Tuckersmith, dwelling,: $7,000; John R. Makin.
