To the editor Sir: This letter is a foreninner to a sample-type petition which will be seen in your community regarding our County's proposal to tear down the jail wall ad- jacent to the Assessment Build- ing in Goderich to make way for an a.ddition and parking facili- ties. Why Concern? The fort-like structure, which is situated on valuable land has been considered "unproductive" in the eyes of our reeves since it lost it's last inmate a couple of years ago. Therefore it is now considered “feasible" to eat away at the property for other County purposes. Should the county go ahead with it's plans it will quite effectively deface the building which, while over 130 years old, is also archi- tecturally unique, structurally sound, and imposing in nature. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities, Historical and Museums Branch, Archives of Ontario is interested in seeing it kept as a museum and feel it could become nationally and in- ternationally noteworthy. Of course, as such, it would divert tourist. interest to the entire area. There are three alternatives open to Council which will leave the jail intact. 1. The acquisition of property to the West which has not been investigated as of January 26. 2. An addition to the North with parking option on Gloucester Terrace. 3. Huron County owns the existing building. There has been considerable comment re- garding overcrowded County de- partments and Court facilities unrelated to the Assessment function. The County should con- sider a new site for a larger Assessment building and use the existing site to alleviate crowd- ing in other departments. The proposed solution not only destroys the very nature of a historic landmark, but also creates additional problems. No allowance would be made for additional parking and the exist- ing "cramped and crammed" appearance would become even more so. The Jail, as it now stands, is unique to North. America and has been publicized in both Weekend Magazine and the British Press. Furthermore, the oldest Archi- tects' magazine in Britain has established a fund to preserve this structure. Interested per- sons in the Seaforth area are asked to, contact Mrs. Shirley Dinsmore, 31 West Street. Sincerely, J. Van den Broeck Save jail wall .....-•••••••••••-•••W*•• TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN at is family size hot water?
