(Maws Snowdon nros., a'ub!Mors PLAN MAUSOLEUM T GETS CE1 A nlausoleum fol Seaforth to be operated in connection with the Miaitlandbauk Cemetery was a necessity Councillor P, I., Brady toles Seaforth Council at its regu- lar monthly meeting on Monday evening. Iie said the accounts of the cemete'r'y board had been audited and put in shape as a going con- cern so the town could take over' the•assote and operate the ceme- tery. The council meeting was held in. the council chamber at the town. hall with all members pres- ent. Mayor 13, F. Christie •presid- ed, Councillor Brady told council the cemetery had a deficit of $1700 in 1958 and $2000 in 1959 He had suggested that the board raise its schedule of rates so the new rates would be in effect when the town took over, In answer to a question Coun- cillor Brady said Northside Unit- ed Church owned and operated Maitland Bank Cemetery. At the present time only about half the burials were from the Un- ited Church, and the congregation felt they no longer could make up the deficits incurred. The cemetery had securities with a face value of $15,000 for perpetual upkeep, This gave an income of $634 which was insuf ficient to pay upkeep costs. Councillor Brady said a com- mittee from council, two years ago had investigated the opera. tion of municipal cemeteries in Clinton, Goderich and Exeter. He advocated having higher rates for burials from outside Seaforth than from the town Burials occasionally came from Toronto and United States. Councillors in discussing the situation, said that St. James R. C. Cemetery could join the pro- posed cemetery board if it wish- ed. This was clone in some of the surrounding towns. In answer to ar question it was said that the Harpurhey cemetery was under direction •of the Pres- byterian Church. Councillors said a mausoleum would make the .opening of graves unnecessary in the winter. Coun- cil agreed to have a bylaw drawn up for presentation at next meet- ing, Councillor Thorpe Rivers gave a report on streets. They ware breaking up somewhat under the spring thaw. The town would plant a number o•f small trees this year. Reeve Ball asked about a pav- ing program this year instead •of always making repairs. Councillor Brady said it was a good idea but no provision had been made in the budget this year. The public school rates should be about the same as dart year, Councillor Brady told council. Last year the board had a surplus of $1600, High school and Separ- ate school estimates were not in yet. The county"' had promised the same rate as last year. The property committee had two applications to lease the town weigh scales at the rear of the town hall. The rentals offered were nominal. Council decided to wait until next month for further action in closing the .scales. The offers were from P. Little and A. Moore. Councillors said the road to the town clump had been closed— three trucks had been stuck. Coundillor Nelson •Cardno re- ported that the fire and water committee had bought special li- quid to put in the truck •pumpsto lessen damage by rust. Reeve Ball reported on relief. Some money was being paid to Clinton. Councillor Cardno said the in- dustrial committee expected act- ion on the Bell Industries this week. They had been offered a rebate on outstanding taxes if they sold by a certain time. Councillors were invited to a meeting of the Seaforth district high school board on Tuesday evening. It was reported that the present lunch room in' the base- ment was unsatisfactory. The board wanted to fit a cafeteria in- to the pians for a new addition. It was proposed tbat the stage should serve as part of the cafe- teria, and also serve as a stage when required. It was estimated the cost of the addition would be about $180,000. A gentleman from Stratford In- terviewed council on permission required to establish a bowling alley 111 town. The building would be 50 x 120 feet. The cost ready to operate was estimated at $60,000. Cauncil made a grant of $400 to Seaforth Agricultural Society, R, E. McMillan and H, Leslie inter- viewed council. Mayor Christie rend the police report, Councillor Daly said the town should buy the motor from the P,17,0. truck for btho small town track, Council received a complaint from Dr. Stapleton that ears were parked all day on John Street in front of his ,office. He asked that restricted parking be put luta ef- fect on ,Sohn Street. i'T4yor •Christie suggested bring - ng in two-hour panting in the lest block of all streets coming 0 11 to the business section of Main treet.

With the walls down and only the floor and the old vault still in- tact, the site was of untiring in- terest over the weekend to child- ren, who waudered around ap- parently in the hope of finding a nickel or a dime. To older folk, the place seemed to bring hack memories. One re- tired farmer stood gazing at the empty brick -covered steel vault, with the door standing wide 00011 to the street. "My money has been kept in that vault for 60 years", he said. "1 opened au account in there when I was 15 years old". And the workers could always get a laugh by shouting some- thing like, "I just found a hund- red dollars."

The bylaw will now go to the municipal board fol' apitraval of the town's ability to raise the money. Wlieu the bylaw is approved it will be returned to council for a third reading and final passage. Council has the approval of the Ontario Water Resources Commis_ aeon for the work now agreed up- on. The chairman of the sewage committee, councillor John Turn- bull, said work agreed upon be- tween the •town and the Ontario Water Resources Commission was for sewers in the north ward as outlined some months ago. It will require a pumping station on West William Street to force the Bow into the sewer on Goderich Street just west of Main Street. Councillor Turnbull told coun- cil that the committee had con- sidered diverting the sower to tdie east side of town so connections could be made to the new. Separ- ate School to be built this sum- mer, and to the high school. It was his opinion it would require six months delay if negotiations started all over again. Councillors all agreed it was best to go ahead with tiie sewers w-hieh were approved in the north ward. They said the separ- ate school could pump sewage up to the sewer on Goderich Street east of Main street until etch time as the sewer was laid on Chalk Street. Councillors said the high school had plenty of land to putt in sew- age disposal beds to be used until such time as a sewer was laid on Franklin Street. The high school board cooks be then assessed their share of the cost. Council was told that the rates set out in the bylaw are much higher both tor frontage and use than the bylaw for the worst done five or six years ago.
