Engineer
%Seaforth Council was told at its
ieeting on Monday night that the
construction of the disposal plant
by Sparton Construction Company
w s completed satisfactorily, and
at the company's holdback should
returned. Attending the meet -
g wasj G. G. Reid, of Graham
Heid & Associates, the engineering
firm that designed the system and
supervised • the construction of the
plant, and Mr. Reid said that fol -
keying an examination of the plant
that day he was satisfied that the
company had now completed its
work.
;While the systemhas- been in
use for two years now, certain de-
fents'had appeared in the disposal
-plant construction, and council had
delayed finalizing the contract un-
til the company had made good.
Referring to a claim from the
company against the municipality
in. an amount of $1,263.86, Mr. Reid
said that he recommended that,
if possible, a settlement in an
amount of $600 be arrived at. The
cl;iim arose from the cost of pro-
virling a• water service to the dis-
posal plant. The specifications set-
ting out responsibility for .the pro-
vision of the service had been pre-
pared in such a fashion that it
was impossible to determine who
was responsible, and for this rea-
son the contractor, who had gone
ahead with the work, claimed the
amount as an extra from the
town. The account was made up
of the amount which was charged
by the PUC for laying the special
two-inch service, as well as the
contractor's overhead and profit.
Mr. Reid added that one item had
b,en neglected, that of the pro-
-len of a flushing hose, and.that.
•this4had been taken into considera-
tion in the settlement which he
recommended,
Through Solicitor
Councillor William Ball wonder-
ed whether the PUC had received
its money, and an effort was made
to ' contact PUC Manager Ray
Holmes, to; determine .this point.
Mayor McMaster pointed out that
the settlement recommended seem-
ed to be fair and reasonable, and
that the contractor on the whole
had done a good job in the face of
great difficulties. He said that the
settlement had been discussed with
the town solicitor, and it' was his
advice that an _effort be made on
the basis as recommended by the
engineer. In any event, the PUC
wpuld be protected, since any pay-
ments would be through the solici-
tor who would determine who
would satisfy himself that all
claims had been met.
Councillors expressed concern as
to whether or not the PUC had a
responsibility to provide the ser-
vice without remuneration, and on
this basis hesitated to approve the
settlement.
Mayor McMaster agreed that on
the basis of the payment for water
consumption the PUC was getting
pretty good interest, ,even if they
dial provide the service. He sug-
gested that perhaps the PUC should
be approached to determine what
the responsibility was. Mr. Reid
said that was a matter for the
town and PUC to determine, and
that in any event it didn't affect
the matter of a settlement with the'
contractor. -
Referring to the operation of the
system, Mr. Reid said that it ap-
peared to be working satisfactorily
but that he would recommend that

The possibility that the new
year would, see achange'in policing
arrangements in. Seaforth, bees:'
apparent as conned, at' its meetin
Monday night, discussed a cpm,
munication which had• • hien
ceived from the district office
the Ontario Provincial'Peliee
letter referred ;to the 'renet+vn,.-,N
the contract which the town #
with the. OPP and indicated
in the- event it was renewed'
would be necessary to provide,:for''
three officers, as of January 'Ist,r
next, rather 'than the -two officerss,.;_
who have been carrying out the;
work since the arrangement with :
the OPP was entered into some
years ago. It was explained that
the additional officer was required...,
as a result of the need for .-re
placements ,for sickness and heli-
days, and to fit in with present
working schedules.
The arrangement with the OPP
provides that thetown obtains the
service at a cost of $4,000 per year
per officer, plus an amount for the
use of a car based on mileage and
which works out to about $1,500 a
year. In addition to this, there....
are additional charges when relief"
officers are required to fill in" on
occasion., when leave or holidays •
are granted.
After discussing the matter and;
taking cognizance of the increased
cost that would result, couneii
adopted the following .resolution'
"That the provincial police, be ad-
vised that the town is willing .to
continue the policing under the
Provincial Police for 1958 if Wean ,.
be done under the present con-
tract for two men."
Sidewalk Work, Undinway
Councillor B. F. Christie, chair-..
man, of the street corns aittee , tolltl•
council that during the Month
der review, the street committee'
had completed cleaningout a num.
her of catchbasins and repairs to
the culvert on No. 8 Highway were
also completed. The cost of the
repairs, $72.80, is to be recovered
from the Department of Highways.
Traffic signs are being replaced
at various points in the town, the
chairman said, and in addition
smaller 'No Parking' signs are to
be erected on Goderich St. and will
be attached to light standards. New
sidewalks had been laid at a num-
ber of locations, using hot mix ma-
terial, which was being handled by
town employees. In all, some 623
square yards had been laid at a
cost of $797.25. In arriving at the
cost, Councillor Christie said the
wages of town employees, as well
as use of the truck and other
equipment, bad been taken into
consideration. If this amount of
work had been'done by contract,
the cost would have amounted to
$1,283.70, he said. As material be-
came available, it was planned to -
resurface additional areas with hot
mix, and included in this work
would be the area about the Town
Hall.
It was agreed that the sidewalks
adjacent . to the former Queen's
Hotel were in need of repair, and
consideration would be given this
work when the program was re-
commenced.
Clerk Wilson doubted that it
would be possible to recover a pro-
vincial grant with respect to work
that had been done on Main Street
paving near the post office. He was
instructed by council, however, to
make application,, since it was con-
sidered that the work was in the
nature of maintenance to a street.
The committee was instructed to
give consideration to laying addi-
tional paving material over a
boulevard on the south side of
Gouinlock St., from Main St. east
to a lane. It was pointed out that
this area was difficult to maintain
and that the dirt being tracked in-
to stores because of the condition,
of the boulevard was creating a
serious nuisance.
Remove Trees
The chairman told council that a
number of trees had been remov-
ed because it was found they were
in a dangerous condition. Adders
tional work of this nature was re
quired.
A request to have a street lalhp
moved from its present location ott
South Main. St., near Seaforth 10.-,
thine Shop, was referred to the
street committee. Council agreed
that the light, in its present loca•
-
tion, was subjeeted to undue strain
because of t'raff'ic going in and, +sett
at that area, but also realized ihat°,
the arrangeinent, of Sheet.
