This picture, reproduced from the historical atlas of Huron County 1879, shows the mills and resi-
dence of the late A. G. Van Egmond, in Egmondville, adjoining Seaforth. While the mills do not look
familiar to the present generation accustomed to the 'Hesky flax building which now occupies the site,
the residence still stands. It is owned by Harold Jackson.
"Some Negligence Existed,"
Inquest Jury Says of Drivers
A. coroner's jury inquiring into
the accident which resulted in the
adeatbs of two persons, on the Kip-
ipett; road, south of Seaforth, on
July 19, found, negligence on the
part of each of the two drivers in-
volved. The inquest was dnent in
a9eaforth Town Hall on Monday
morning betore Coroner Dr. E. A.
'McMaster. Members of the coro-
eier's jury were Ivan Forsyth (fore
snan), John 'MacKay, Arthur Var-
ney, Wilfred' Tremeer and Rudolph
Etue. The accident which involved
vehicles driven by Norman Harvey,
.of Monkton, and • James Love, of
Tuckersmith, resulted in the death
sof Mr. Love and 'Mrs. Harvey, a
gra.ssenger in the Harvey vehicle.
The verdict, returned atter the
Pry had deliberated for more than
en hour, was as follows: "We, the
soromer's jury, find that James
Love and Mrs. Mary Ellen Harvey
,died from injuries suffered in a
collision, between a car driven east
Love, and
roadb� Mr.
township Y
on to
A
truck in which Mrs•. Harvey' wee
a passenger, driven by Norman
Harvey, south on county road, 3%
smiles south of Seaforth, •on the
evening of July 19, 1954. On the
,evidence available we find that
negligence existed on, the part
,of both drivers involved."
First witness called was Provin-
tial Constable Helmer Snell, who
investigated, the accident, and who
completed arrangements for the
coroner's inquest. Constable Snell,
ion being sworn, attested to the
eligibility of the, jurors. The wit-
nesses were interrogated by Crown
Attorney H. Glen Hays.
Dr. Carl Elliott, the next witness
called, told the jury of having at-
tended at the accident on the eve-
ning of July 19, and of having look-
ed after the injured subsequent to
[Che accident. Mr. Love died In
$cott Memorial Hospital on July
21, he said, and Mrs. Harvey on
July 26. He described the injuries
,suffered by Mr. Love as a fractur-
ed skull, brain injury and multiple
lacerations, 'Mrs. Harvey had re-
ceived a brain injury and multiple
lacerations, as well as a fractured
right forearm.
Dr. Elliott had no knowledge o8
any latent condition that would
Have resulted in the death of either
of the accideht victims in the
event that the accident had not
ocourred. Hie statement was in an-
swer to a question from Mr. Hays.
Rules of the Road •
Coroner MoMaster suggested that
icor the benefit of the jury it would
be well for Mr. Hays to explain
the rules of the road and the ex-
tent to which they were a factor in
481e inquiry. Mr. Hays told the jury
that the driver on the right had
the right-of-way. On the other
hand, there was the rules that
where a stop sign existed on an
intersecting road,' the driver ap-
proaching the stop sign must bring
lois vehicle to a complete stop.
Once having brought the vehicle to
• stop, Mr. Hays said, the motor-
ist, by that action had restored his
right to preference, Insofar as the
eight-o&way was concerned.
Norman Harvey, the driver of
One of the vehicles Involved, hav-
ing
awing been called, was sworn and
told the jury that he was driving
st 11953 Ford picltu:p truck at the
'time of the accident. He was a
Carmer, residing in the Village of
ieeentkton. He bad left Monkton
about 7:30 on the evening of July
10, and while he had not taken
•artic1idlar note of the time, felt
Oat the ' accident had occurred
about 8:15. He was en route to
Hensall.
Forty Miles Per Hour
In answer to a question, he indi-
cated that the health • of his wife
was good, and that she had had no
heart condition. She was 58 years
of age.
Mr. Harvey said that he was
travelling south, and while .he was
not in a position to give precise
distances, he recalled that as he
approached the intersection, he
saw a car coming from the west,
and when he first saw the car it
appeared to be between the stop
sign and the pavement. It Was in
motions At no time had he seen
the approaching car stopped. He
was travelling at a speed which ,he
estimated at a little bit over 40
miles per hour. Queried by Mr.
Hays as to whether there was any
possibility of his speed having
been in excess of 50 miles per
hour, Mr. Harvey said no. His
truck, he said, was in good mechan-
ical condition, being almost new.
When he first saw the approach-
ing vehicle, he thought that ,he
was possibly . two rods or a little
better from the intersection.
Asked by Mr. Hays what happen-
ed. then, Mr. Harvey said that he
had tried to turn down the side -
road, to the east, to avoid a col-
lision, but that the other car con-
tinued to come on. The collision
occuriad at the east side of the
paved portion of the through high-
way. He applied his brakes as
soon as he saw the other car, since
he bad a feeling that the other
car had no intention of stopping.
"Did you get a look at the other
driver? Was he looking ahead?"
asked Mr, Hays, and Mr. Harvey
answered, "I don't know."
The vehicles were not in the
position which they assumed -fol-
lowing the impact when Constable
Snell arrived, Mr. Harvey said,
since it had been necessary to tow
the Love vehicle away because of
fire which had dedeloped. The
weather was clear at the time and
it was quite light, Mr. Harvey said.
After the impact, Mr. Harvey got
his wife out of the cab and with
another man, who had appeared at
the scene, and who Mr. Harvey said
could not speak English, went to
the other car. Others arrived and
he returned to his own car, and he
was assisted in carrying his wife
across the road
The next witness called was Os -

water,
'rhe implement building, owned
by Ziler & Nott, originally was a
carriage shop, operated in conjunc-
tion with the Egmondville black-
smith shop for many years .by
Thomas Hill, and later' George Hill.
Messrs. Ziles and Nott',had intend-
ed taking possession of the build-
ing at the end of the month, and
Mr, Blue was planning other ac-
commodation when he returned
from his trip.
Seaforth fire brigade responded,
to an alarm turned in by Allan
Nicholkon after a passing motorist
had noticed the flames and brad
awakened residents. The brigade
found the fire had spread to such
an extent that their efforts were
confined to protecting neighboring
buildings and .in salvaging machin-
ery from the blazing shop.
!Destroyed in the fire was a com-
bine, •a binder and various other
im,plemments, together with a quan-
tity of implement parts. Lows would
have been greater had not other
machinery been driven away from
the fiam•es by Joe Nigh and others.
The brigade answered a second
alarm about 5 ami., after Raymond
Nott saw flames in the Blue resi-
dence. Sparks apparently had set
the roof on fire and 1iames were
seen in the attic. Water and
smoke damage was +heavy.
Mr. Blue since his return has
been checking his loss. He has
not yet determined' what his •fila-
ture plans will be,

1954 Tax Rate Set at 73.3
The Seaforth tax rate for 1954
was set at a meeting of the Sea -
forth Town Council on Monday eve-
ning at 73.3 mills for Public School
supporters, and 70.3 mills for Sep-
arate School supporters. The rate
represents an increase of 1.9 mills
for Public School ,supporters and
8.9 mills for Separate School sup-
porters, over that levied in 1993.
The estimates on which the tax
rate was based varied little from
the preliminary estimates to which
consideration had been given by eration of problems raised by two

Hensall Taxes Liss;
Rate Down 3 Mills
At its regular meeting" held in
the Town Hall, Hensall Council on
Monday evening established a tax
rate of 54 mills for 1953, a reduc-
tion of three mills from the rate
which was in effect last year, The
reduction was [Rade possible, it
was pointed out, because of grants
which it was expected would be
received, and also because there
was a reduction in the water works
debenture ..payment, as well as in
the rate required by the. public
school.
The rate for 1954 wilI be made
up as follows: County, 9.4 mills;
village, 17:8 mills; public school,
15.1 mills; high school, 4.7 mills;

All members of 'Council were
present for the meeting, and Reeve
Alvin W. Kerslake presided.
Clerk J. A. Paterson told council
that he had had discussions with
the Deputy Minister of Municipal
Affairs in connection with the mat-
ter of licensing trailers, and said
that he had received permission to
assess for trailers and that at the
same time he had contacted an of-
ficial of the trailer coach associa-
tion. He told 'council that the as-
socation requested that he attend
a meeting of the Ontario Municipal
Association in connection with the
natter and which will be held at
St. Thomas. Council concurred
and in a motion by Councillors
Parke and Jones, the Clerk was
authorized to attend the meeting
on August 23, 24 and 25.
Council approved the employ-
ment of Fred Turnbull to plaster
-the-•upstatrs- of the Town _ Jdali.
Councillor Hoy •had reported the
discussions he had had with Mr.
Turnbull regarding the work.
E. R. Davis told the council of
the work which had been done in
[patching the streets, and in con-
nection with cutting weeds on var-
ious lots of the village.
The sale of debentures in an
amount of $30.000.00 had been com-
pleted, •Clerk Paterson told the
council. The purchase price has
been received also, he said. The
debentures were sold to provide
for the cost of the installation of
artificial ice in the .arena.
The Hensall Kinsmen's Club
was given permission to erect. a
tripod from which will hang a ket-
tle in front of the Town Hall, and
which will advertise the club's
bean festival, which is being held
on Labor Day.
Council petitioned the Depart-
ment of Highways for an interim
payment of the statutory grant of
the Highways Impt'ovement Act on
read expenditures made up to
August 21 of this year. Council
also approved a proposal that the
Clerk and one member of the coup
cfl attend a school to be held in
Toronto on September 13 to 16
next.
The necessity of safety mea-
surels being taken at the intersec-
tion of the Canadian National
Railway on King tit. was discussed
at some length, and it was agreed
by Council that the C.N.R. should
be requested to install a wig -wag
signal at the railway crossing. The
crossing at. this point includes
three tracks.
Council approved accounts for
the cutting of weeds going forward
as follows: P. Langram, $3.06; W.
E. Pfaff Estate, $2.45: Park Board,
$15.21; General Coach Works,
$3.68; • Recreational Committee,
$13.80. The Clerk was instructed
to add any arrears for weed .cut-
ting to the tax roll.
Council agreed to order 150 feet
of lee -inch fire hose from Bickle-
Seagrave Ltd. after a delegation of
the fire department had appeared
and asked for additional hose. A
by-law designed to regulate traffic
in the village was presented by
Clerk Paterson, and incorporated
suggestions which had been raised•
at a previous meeting of council.
The by-law was given first and sec-
ond readings and the Clerk was
instructed to forward it to the De-
partment of Highways for the nec-
essary approval before third and
Anal reading is given it.

water, He felt that this condition
wins, if not caused, at least ag-
gravated by the fact that the rail-
way bridge under ;.}which Silver
Creek runs, is not sufficiently wide
to take the water. He reviewed
the situation that arises several
time; each year when: many rate -
p iy ez s in that portion of the town
are completely flooded. and told
Council that in the opinion of
these ratepayers, step; should be
taken to correct the situation.
Referring to the' fact that Coun-
cil was concerned with industrial
:,^iter, Mr. Elliott• said that he own-
ed seren lots, two blocks off the
main street, which would be good
for industry, and which were for
sale, but there was little point in
attempting to seli them if they
were to be under water every time
Silver Creek was in flood. He felt
that the least that could be done
would be to dredge a portion of
Silver Creek, so that the water
could get out of town. Silver Creek,
he said, might have been big en-
dugh 50 years ago to carry the
water which was flowing into it
then, but in the years which have
passed, more drains had been add-
ed, so that now it isn't big enough.
Councillor Christie reminded
Council that just three years ago
Silver Creek was cleaned out,
south of the town.
"Has anyone ever walked it?"
asked Councillor Scott. "it's just
like a snake. If it was cleaned
out, it certainly would help."
Tuckersmith Council be invited to
meet with Seaforth Couneil iu'all
effort to arrive at a mutually agree-
able solution.
Asks Feneeviewers To Act
Sidney Dolmage, who appeared
before council to ask that instree-
tions be issued to the fenceviewers
to examine a fence between his
property and that of Harvey Me-
Ilwain, told Council that horses
were reaching over the existing
fence and eating his garden. The
fence in question was at least" 17
years old, he said, and it had been
bolstered with some snow fence:
He told Council that he had, erect-
ed
rected a new fence along the westerly
portion of the lot and that, in his
opinion, as he put it. "haven't the
right to fence out and fence in
too." He informed council that he
had not been able to get any action
as a result of various requests, end
it was for this reason that he was
asking that the fenceviewers re-
view the situation.
He asked, too, whether or not
there was a town by-law to prevent
stallions running outside with
mares. Clerk Wilson was quite cere
twin that there was nothing in
town by-laws which -would be rele-
vant but felt that some provision
might exist in the statutes. He
wasn't quite certain where this ex-
isted, and felt it was a matter for
the town solicitor, Mr. Doimage
told council that both Mr. Sills and
Mr. Meir had told him that there
was a prohibition against the prac-
tice, and went on to describe an
incident which had happened on
Monday.
Constable Christensen, who was
pre•sent, told council that Mr. Dol -
mage had consulted him and that
he in turn had checked with the
town solicitor, and that no refer-
ence could be found in the statutes.
On the other hand, Councillor Scott
was quite certain that there was a
statute governing not only horses
but all animals.
"W&re in town now and it

ing been in that area during the mage said. "We've stood it for

bridge was contributing to the
flooded condition. Reeve Scoins
said that there was a difference of
at least 14 to 18 inches in the
height of the water.
Another factor which was con-
tributing to the flooded condition, e
Mr, Elliott said, was the existence
of .two large poplar trees which °
