He said, however, that with the' registry in Goderich it would mean law yers would have to go to two towns and that it may be better if both buildings were in the same town. Deputy-Reeve McKenzie, is chairman of the property mittee on county council, the question put him on a "We’ve got to make plans to build right away,” he said. He pointed out that 12 county of ficials owned homes in Goderich and would have to move if the courthouse were moved to Clin ton. All school text books, and much legislatiou, including .the British North America Act would have to be changed. Reeve Pooley, also a town representative on the county council, said the vote was 26-3 to build the courthouse in Gode rich. "If Goderich was a good place in the horse and buggy days, it should be an even better location now.” Mayor Cochrane said he was in favor of Goderich, noting the location in the square Was ‘‘pic turesque’’. The mayor suggested the coun cil could take no action on the resolution. Deputy - Reeve Mc Kenzie asked that the reply favor Goderich but the “no action” vote passed. The Public Utilities Commis sion will be asked to notify the road superintendent when their men cut off a drain when re pairing water mains. Discussion arose from a charge by Council lor Dinney that drain tile ripped up by the P.U.C. had never been replaced on the property of Bert Clark, Albert Street. Other coun cillors reported-similar cases. Reeve Pooley called for better co-operation between the P.U.C. and the town in these matters. Councillor Dinney suggested the P.U.C, should be warned about the occurrence and be re quired to pay for repairs where they were found negligent. Hints Of Petition Council decided to seek pro fessional engineering advice to alleviate flood pressure on the Snell drain which cuts through the centre of town. This was the drain which caused the flash flood during February.1* Council took the action after being warned by Councillor Brady that “we may have a peti tion on our hands” wasn't done. Thanks Firemen Council expressed to the members of partment who assisted with pumping out cellars during the flood.
