Mayor and Members of Council,
Town Hall
Seaforth, Ontario.
Sirs:
We act for your Chief of Police
other
Elmer Hutchinson and theo e
m rthe Police Depart-
ment
ofo P
nlent- as a result of which we
have been advised of your press
releases to the Huron Expositor
and the Seaforth News which
state:
"Applications are being called
immediately by the Seaforth
Town Council for three positions
on the Seaforth town police
force" and "Seaforth Town Coun-
cil plans to hire two constables
for the Police force and a com-
bination part time policeman and
utility man, it was decided at
the regular meeting Monday."
to this effect,
The only time council has the
right to discharge police is when
misconduct has been determined
after charges 'have been laid, Mr.
McConnell told council. There
was no suggestion of misconduct
here, he said. When you hire a
police force you must deal with
them under, the act.
A new car and clothing were
not in the act said the solicitor,
but were a matter of bargaining,
Mayor Daly estimated the 120
day limit would end in January.
Present salaries, etc., could car-
ry
arry on until then.
Mr. McConnell explained that
.._niter 120 days of bargaining a
single arbitrator could be chosen
by both sides and his award
would be final. In case an arbi-
trator could not be agreed upon
the Attorney General would ap-
point one (probably a judge),
Councillor Cardno thought we
had kept our part of the bargain
in respect of the 3 -year agree-
ment. We hired Andrew Calder
on our own,
Councillor Bell said we certain-
ly acted in ignorance of the law.
We should have talked it over
with them.
This old agreement remains in
effect until it is replaced by a
-aikw one, Mr. McConnell told
cbantil.
The Mayor suggested that the
'solicitor should reply to the
lawyer's letter. Then council
could bargain intelligently.
Mayor Daly said a number of
questionaires had been sent to
towns about the size of Seaforth
asking particulars about police
arrrangements. A reply had been
received from Mitchell.

An announcement by the Can-

"Mrs. M. S. Savauge, wife of
the late Murray Savauge, who
was a well-kown Canadian Gem-
mologist, has donated the wond-
erful collection of books on gem_
urology which :Mr. Savauge ac-
cumulated through the years. It
- ' is one of the most .complete col-
lections of its kind in. Canada
and we are most grateful to Mrs.
" avauge for her thoughtfulness.
It is her wish that these books
shall be usefully employed by
those who are carrying on the
work which was so near to the
heart of her late husband.
"These books are now avail-
able as part of our library ser-
vice and may be borrowed in the
usual way.
"They will be particularly val-
uable to the students who are
commencing our new course in

Elected Director
On Oct. 11th at the London
Area Convention for Womens'
Institutes, Mie. John E. MacLean
of the Seaforth. W. I, was elected
Provincial Board Director, for
sdbdivision Uo. 22,
In our opinion the Council of
the Town of Seaforth has acted
in flagrant contravention of the
Police Act, R.S.O. 1960, Chapter
298 and regulations thereto and
this will advise you that in
our opinion your Council has no
legal rights to pass such a reso-
lution.
To review the facts, you may
recall that the Chief Constable
wrote to you on the 24th of Sep-
tember, 1961 and the two other
constables wrote to you on the
13th of September and the 22nd
of September, 1961, asking for a
reconsideration of the three-year
contract, To these letters neither
the Chief nor the Constables had
the courtesy of a reply and you,
as the Mayor and Council have
seen fit to advise the force to the
effect that any information they
wanted could be gleaned from the
local newspapers.
In our opinion your Council has
acted in an arbitrary manner and
one which is contrary to Regula-
tion 18 of the Police Act which
states:
"No Chief Constable or Consta-
ble shall be subject to any pen-
alties except after a hearing pro-
vided by the Police Act".
In addition, in our opinion Sec-
tion 27 of the Police Act indi-
cateat
"The Council of the Municipal-
ity shall within 120 days after re-
ceipt of the request commence
to bargain in good faith".
In our opinion you have not
bargained in good faith and you
have no right to discharge with -
but cause your Chief Constable
or any of your Constables,
We are writing to you to ad-
vise you of our opinion and to
give you the opportunity of re-
vising your' opinion, otherwise we
will have no alternative but to
place this matter before the
Courts or before the Honourable
The Attorney -General for the
Province of Ontario for whatever
action he may consider necessary
under the Police Act. It is appar-
ent to us that neither the Mayor
nor any of the members of the
Council are familiar with the law
or with the Police Act and before
placing this matter before the
Courts or before the Attorney -
General, we feel that it is only
common courtesy to draw to your
attention the relevant sections of
the Police Act with which we sub-
mit your incontravention in the
hope that you may take this let-
ter to your solicitor and have him
confirm the facts which I set out
here,
We hope that you will realize
that we have extended to your
Council greater consideration
than you have extended to your
own Police force. As a result we
shall expect to hear from you
within ten days of receipt of this
leiter advising usof what action
you intend taking otherwise we
will have no alternative other
than to proceed against the
Mayor and the Council.
Yours truly,
Wright, Poole, Bell & Porter

brate it right. Five and 20 years
ago on the 26th, Arnold and Irene
really did get hitched. With eggs

Jamieson should have a token.
Irene was the one and only, it
seemed right from the start,
whom Arnold gained the courage
to call "My Sweetheart." In later
years God blessed them with
children numbering three, so stal-
wart and so handsome, real
pretty, don't you agree?
Time has arrived to do honour
