Mr. Longstaff, who spoke for the club, presented a financial state, anent which indicated that there was a deficit of $2,594. He explain- ed that the condition was not pe- culiar to Seaforth, but it was one in which all hockey .clubs found themselves. The people were not• interested in any of the towns in which the team had played. In answer to, a query, he said that the club had no plans for the coming year, and in view of the financial situation it was not known what was best tos•do. Mr.. Longstaff told Councillor Christie that the financial state- ment included the expenditure of $442, covering activities of juven- ile teams. Referring to an account covering equipment purchased out of town, it was explained that the price was such that after consul- tation with local suppliers, it was found that they were not inter- ested. . Mayor McMaster suggested that tile deficit might be covered by the Hockey Club sponsor'aa lf "Rock 'n Roll" dance. "If you spend money on a proper orch stra and charge a good admission, you will fill the arena," he said. "It's the real craze now." • Mr. Longstaff said that there was difficulty in obtaining help to assist in even smaller affairs. Council spent nearly' an hour discussing the situation and at the same time gave thought to a re- quest which had been advanced some time ago by the Community Centre Board to take over an out- standing loan which for some time has been guaranteed by local citi- zens. It was indicated that the loan could be assumed by council assuming certain steps were fol- lowed. Rock 'n Roll Dance" Councillor Christie suggested perhaps council could match dol- lar for dollar amounts raised by the Hockey Chili towards the deficit, but Councillor Close said last year council had granted $900 when it was indicated there would be professional support for the hockey .club. However, events in- dicated this bad not been forth- coming and that the Hockey Club at that time had paid their bills and disbanded. "I'd rather put my hand in my pocket and help pay it than put it on the ratepayers," Councillor Close told his colleagues. Reeve Scoins suggested that the club be permitted to run some kind of a lottery, and that council assist the club in getting people to help pflt on something. On the other hand, Councillor Kellar felt that this would not be of immediate assistance, because there was a difficulty getting people to at- tend during the summer time when they are away on holidays. Mayor McMaster Caine back to bis Original suggestion that the clubsponsor a "linck 'n Roll" dance.% He said that Maple, Leaf Gardeft. had been packed on , a recent occasion. He felt that it should be inftisted that the club go out and collect, or put sothething. on to raise money. It would have to be well adver- tised all around in order to get a crowd, Councillor Scott Said.

"Yes, but somebody would have to pay for the orch- estra and guarantee it," Iteeve Scoins said. "Well, the town would have, to back them then," Mayor McMaster replied. No decision was taken in the matter, which will be reviewed further at a later meeting. • Name -Supervisor Council named P.U.C. Chairman Frank Kling to supervise altera- tions that are proposed to the Town Hall. He will work under the direction of the Property Commit- tee. Mr. Klipg was at the meeting and discussed the changes. He said that the P.U.C. was awaiting a reply from the H.E.P.C, approlas ing Plan Swim -Meet the proposed construction, an soon as this had been obt aet1 the P.U.C. was in a position to pro- ceed. Council postponed a decision regardirfg interior stairways until later. Mr. Kling had, for council's inspection, a proposed arrange- ment which had been prepared by the ,,architects. It was the con- sensus that it would be necessary to alter the stairs in order' to pro- vide proper access to a*oid a fire hazard, but Mayor McMaster •sug- gested the matter be delayed.

Interested swimmers are asked to cheek at the pool for details. to permit second reading, of a daYT law providing for, Goderich Street sewerage work, failed to pass with the necessary majority at council Monday night: • The by-law, which provides for financing of the proposed sewer extension on Goderich St.,' was in- troduced first at the July meeting of council. At that time a .motion for second, reading failed to obtain the necessary •75 per cent major- ity', as is- required by the Municipal Act for by-laws dealing with the expenditure , of money. Tenders, which had been invited for the work, were held in abeyance pend- ing further consideration.. Subse- quently, a special meeting of coun- cil was called, but could not con vene when a quorum was not pres- ent. On this occasion it was in- timated informally ,that Scott Memorial ,,Hospital was concerned, bec use of the delay in the pro- visi in of sewage facilities to serve the hospital. The motion for second reading was put after an hour-long dis- cussion. Moved by Councillors Leslie and Scott, it was opposed' by Reeve Scoins and Councillors Christie- and Kellar., In order to carry with the necessary majority, it would have required six mem- bers of council favor. In opening the discussion, Mayor McMaster told Council that a de- ci ion must be made,. since.the s ccessful bidders wished their de- posit returned if the work was not to proceed. He said that in the event that tenders were called again, it could be expected that there would be an additional cost of at least $20,000. This was the difference between the lowest ten- der and the second lowest tender. He said that the lowest tender was probably at a figure that was 'too low, and that the bidders would be quite happy to be relieved of the contract. • Councillor Kellar commented that perhaps it was a good thing. He recalled the difficulties that bad been experienced with B.C. Construction, the lowest tender for previous sewer work, and said that if we had gone ahead per- haps we would be in another mess. Mayor Mdiester, however, assur- ed council that B.C. Construction could not be compared with the successful bidders in this case. Reeve Scoins felt that the town's engineers had been misleading in that the meeting •had been told that the next bids were at amounts which suggested that the bidders were not interested in the work. CouncillOr Kellar recalled that .it had been necessary to pay $7,000 Robert Irwin. 28, of R.R. 2, Sea - more than the contract price to forth, was admitted to South Hur- B.C.

Car Leaves Road; In Hospital Here take over the whole thing, all of which would be charged back to the town, and the cost would be much greater in the end. He said that financing under such circum- stances could be spread over 30 years. Should Be Voted On Reeve Scoins thought perhaps that this would not be a bad thing, since the • whole tovvn wouldehave the benefit of sewer service and not just a portion of it, He and Councillor Kellar were concerned that no plan for the town as a whole existed, and felt that the piecemeal approach that was be- ing proposed would be unneces- sarily costly. Councillor Kellar suggested an amount of at least $100,000 as being the additional ex- penditure that would be necessary by preceding, as was now being done. In his opinion, the matter of a system for the town as a whole, should be referred to a vote of the people. Mayor McMaster read corres- pondence with the Municipal Board and with the town's engineering consultants, indicating steps that could be taken in drder that the work could proceed. It was sug- gested that under certain circum- stances, a hearing of the Board (Continued on Page 5) SEAFORTH-NEW HAMBURG BANTAMS VISITORS BEST IN GROUP FINALS New Hamburg Bantams tamed Rowcliffe, ci.; G.
