COUNCIL DISCUSSES
GARBAGE PROBLEMS
The Seaforth Town Council in a
special meeting on T ursday,;aven
ing, Feb, 26, cortsi:3'`4ed garbage
collection and disposal for the town
and means of financing it in detail.
Present at the meeting were
Reeve Sills, Councillors Close, Keat-
ing, McMaster, Teall and Ross, also
Town Solicitor, H. Glenn Hays
Mayor M. A. Reid, presided. •
^
A letter from the merchants'
committee suggested that idaylight
saving start a month earlier this
year, on March 26, instead of April
26 in order to save electric ••Rower.
Mayor Reid said the town was us-
ing about a thousand kilowatts over
its gtota.
The daylight saving suggestion
will be considered at the regular
March meeting.
Council granted permission to the
Rebekahs to hold a raffle.
Council requested the solicitor to
consult with the M. O. H. to draft a
bylaw licensing all restaurants and
establishments where food products
are handled, This will be presented
at the regular meeting.
Mayor Reid asked Reeve Sills as
chairman of the property epmmittee,
to explain to council' the problems of
the town chimp.
••Reeve Sills said there had been
rumors' that Tuekersmith, is opposed
to Seaforth' dumping' in the town-
ship, There was talk that township
officials ,had consulted a lawyer in
Goderich witha view to preventing
Seaforth using the dump at.. Eg-
mondville.
"The' first thing we have to find
out is, catf'ive• dump there?"' said
the Reeve.
Councillor McMaster said that he
and Mr. Hays had inspected' the
dump just before the meeting. "Pre-
sent method of disposal will have to
stop at once", he said, "garbage
and refuse are going into the river.
Councillors thought it was only
during the spring freshets that water
reached the dump. At other seasons
the river was a long way from the
dump.
Mr. Hays and Town Clerk Wilson
explained that it was necessary for
a municipality to obtain permission
to dump garbage in another muni-
cipality. This permission had been
obtained from Tuekersmith.
Mayor Reid thought truckersmith
could have no grounds for objection
to the dump.
Councillors suggested Tucker -
smith wanted to use the dump also.
Reeve Sills said they had used the
dump for -a time, but so much wire
and concrete had been dumped
around that the town had had to
stop them.
It was said the dump had been
used for five years, it was intended
for tin cans and was not much filled
in yet. It 'was suggested a bulldozer
could be used to cover garbage with
earth.
Mi. Hays said the case applying
to dump was Waterloo vs Kitchener
in 1918 when an injunction had
been granted against the city. The
city was held responsible for the
contractor who removed the gar-
bage.
Councillor , Keating suggested
burning. It was said 20 to 30 barrels
of oil were burned in the dump
every summer. Bodies of old cars
were most objectionable and had
been prohibited.
Reeve Sills praised the work Mr.
Louis Flildebrand had done at the
dump. His part had been kept neat
and level Be had covered each load
of refuse with a half load of ashes.
Councillors said Stratford separ-
ated cans and baled them in a press
and shipped them to the steel mills
at Hamilton. Toronto treated the
cans to recover the tin.
Councillor'McMaster,. who is also,
M.O.H. for Tuekersmith, said 'fishes
could be dumped over the hill with-
out objection. It was suggestedthat
a bulldozer dig a hole at the ,dump.
The assessment of cost, 2 or 3
mills on the.: $1, collection of cost
and operating as a public utility
were discussed. •
Reeve Sills` asked "How much
,are you willing to Pay? We could
excavate to a considerabledepth,
but don't know what it would cost.
Should we use a shovel or a. bull-
dozer?"
A power shovel or bulldozer costs
$8 an hour, it was stated.
Councillor Keating said people,
might not want to take ashes out to
the street ever' week during the
winter. Councillors Wallace Ross
and -Close concurred that it would
be a lot of trouble.
Councillors described the whole
problem of garbage as a "head-
ache",
There was much discussion about
collecting the cost of garbage collec-
tion from citizens. Councillors
thought collecting from every house-
holder would be expensive. Itwas
thought adding it to the tax bills in
the same manner that scavenger ser-
vice is paid, would, be simplest.
Landlords could recover the cost
from tenants.
Council proposed .1appointing a
committee to work out details and
make recommendations to, council.
Members of the pronerty committee,
Reeve Sills and Councillor Ross,
said they could not act.
Councillors McMaster and Teall
were anpeinted a committee to' ' in
ygetin'ate details on how garbage is
handled in surrounding towns and
costs collected, and will make re-
commendatiens to council.

WHY GO TO CHURCH?
Why go to Church on the Sabbath
day? Someone has answered, "For
the preservation of society, if for no
other reason". The Church is the
cement of society; it is the onli-
safeguard for the preservation of
world peace. Take away the Church,
and we have organized ,brute force,.
anarchy, and destruction of human
life, The Church stands at, the great
bulwark of society. It is the light of
humanity, whose beacon guides the
weary traveller to his eternal home.
The. Church is the only institution
that has as its main function the
transforming of human lives.
We go -be Church to worship, to
observe a .day of rest. We go to
Church that we may achieve a vic-
torious life. We go to. Church to set
an example and for the sake of our
influence upon others. We either
support the Church by -regular at-
tendance or we place ourselves with
that materialistic group which is
digging' away the foundations of the
Christian Sabbath.
