riot that trashed downtown. “I
mean you might as well have the
Mafia to Toronto for a conven
tion.”
“I don't know,” Tim O’Grady
said. “Seems to me I’ve heard of
this kind of thing before only it was
called spring break when we send
all our college kids down to Fort
Lauderdale to take the town
apart.”
WEDNESDAY: Ward was saying
he hates to see government money
thrown around but he had to think
the $1.5 million the federal govern
ment is spending to try to convince
American tourists they should help
us fight acid rain coming from the
U.S. is well spent. He was pointing
out a picture of a billboard along
theborderthat was in the paper
today.
“Idon’tknow,”Hanksaid, “the
way my crops are, I’ll take any rain
the Americans can send us, even if
it is acid.”
Councillors
cautious over
county move

tion and reorganization of the
building.
The court house serves the
double role as headquarters of
county government and site of the
courts and offices of such court
officials as the Crown Attorney,
Sheriff, etc. The county owns the
building and rents space to the
Attorney General’s office for the
court offices. Provincial officials
are also seeking more room for the
court needs.
Lionel Wilder, Reeve of Hay
township was the only non-God-
erich member to vote against the
feasibility study. If the proposal
was for the courts to take over the
court house, he said, why should
n’t it be the courts that found
another building, not the county
offices.
Harry Worsell, Reeve of God
erich, wondered who was going to
do the study and how much the
study would cost. Reeve Hicknell
said no outside body was being
brought in to conduct the study.
Others, who eventually voted in
favour of the study still expressed
reservations on the whole idea of
moving the county seat to Clinton.
Russel Kernighan, Reeve of
Colborne warned that the study
has pretty broad implications. Bill
Mickle, Reeve of Exeter, said that
he could understand the thinking
in proposing the move but he
hoped there would be a very
balanced and open investigation
before a decision was made.
“There may be a heck of a lot of
costs in relocating,” he said.
The matter now goes to the
county’s agriculture and property
committee which is in charge of all
county buildings.
crew asked council if something
couldn’t be done about people
parking in areas clearly marked
“noparking” by painted markings
on the street. “It seems a shame to
waste that paint” he said noting
the town had spent $420 to buy
paint to mark the streets and
prevent people from parking too
close to corners. Ten minutes after
the crews finished their painting
there were six cars parked i n the no
parking areas, he said.
Council voted to hand out tickets
for those parking in no parking
areas. They noted that people
parked too close to corners can
cause accidents since they cut
down the visibility of drivers
entering the main street from side
streets.
*****
Mr. Crawford will look into
fertilizing main street trees in an
effort to combat die-back that may
result from too much road salt in
the soil or even acid rain.
He told council of hearing about
someone who had developed a
fertilizer in the Elmira area that
seems to have brought some sick
trees back to life. He noted that
even some younger trees along
main street were not healthy.
*****
Tax notices under the new
market-value assessment regula
tions have gone out and reaction of
some taxpayers has not been
pleasant, Clerk-treasurer Hugh
Hanly told council. “I want a
motion to unplug the phones,” he
joked. Those most affected are
those with relatively new houses
and those with vacant lots who
have seen their taxes take a big
jump.
*****
The road into the village’s
industrial park at the north end of
town is no closer to being installed
because a building still sits on the
road allowance. Mr. Hanly said the
building’s owner is not purposely
hindering the building of the
roadway but is waiting for word
from higher up in the company
before taking action.
Councillor Ruth Sauve, a mem-
berof theBMG Industrial Commit
tee said she wanted the road
open because there is an industrial
tour coming in the fall and the
committee would like to 6e able to
show the village is ready for
industry that might locate here.
