E. Laithwaite stated his opinion that rather than. assess farm lands to bear the cost of putting sewer- age and water services into a new industry, and said, "Is it not bet- ter to let the towns annex the land and then spend the money? Though we are squeezed into a smaller area, I believe if we con- tinue to keep a cheaper place to live in we'll be better off. I say, ]et us stay as self-supporting farm land area as much as possible. We are free of debentures." Mr. Leith waite also mentioned that probably the township would pass a,by-law in the near future which would govern and restrict the op- eration of trailer camps. W.

Councillor Laithwaite Contended that the township should ask for a representative to sit on the plan- ning boards now set up in Clinton and Goderich, with a view to pre- senting the township's problems. He said that the township could form its own planning board, but that they should work with the neighbouring towns. Mr. Laith- waite asked his hearers to con- sider whether they wished to ap- point such a representative from the council or from outside the council. The chairman announced that he had resigned from the Goderich High School Board. He mentioned the difficulties the board had in getting teachers, and in connection with the board chairman, Harry Ford; he said that Harry Ford had saved the district thousands of dollars during the erection of the new school.
