KELLER GODERICH—"If the parking lots go in we'll paint the things green," remarked Herbert Such, Reeve of Goderich at last Thurs- day's sitting of Huron County Council. He was referring to a proposal by the property com- mittee to alleviate unsatisfac- tory parking conditions by pro- viding "parking facilities for approximately fifty cars at the north end and the south end of the court house". The Goderich reeve was op- posed to the installation of the parking lots in the court house square because it could be con- sidered a "desecretion" and "an asphalt jungle" by Goderich people who appreciated the beauty of the park. Such urged councillors to defer any action on the proposal until Goderich Council had had an opportunity to meet and perhaps come up with some alternate suggestion which would be just as accept- able to members. Carl Dalton, reeve of Sea- forth who is chairman of the property committee retaliated, "We don't intend to be buffalo- ed by the town of Goderich. We were supposed to be guaranteed parking as long as the court house existed. County person- nel are being penalized and I don't think Goderich has a park- ing problem." Reeve Elgin Thompson, Tuc- kersmith, noted, "If they're (Goderich) going to offer some- thing better, we're sure glad to hear of it." Dalton explained the park- ing lots would cost approxim- ately $7,480 and would be pav- ed and feature bumper blocks with names on them to discour- age shoppers in Goderich from using the facilities.

To qualify for the federal aid ty's proposed 70-foot wide park- ing lot would put an end to constant worries over parking tickets pinned by Goderich po- lice to cars left in one spot ov- er the two hour limit. While councillors and cer- tain employees have received special consideration in the past, Reeve Stewart Procter of Morris complained to council that he had received a parking ticket, his first in 50 years of driving, in Goderich while on county business. Agreement was reached to defer immediate action on the parking lots, but only for a period of two weeks when work could begin if Goderich officials fail to offer other suitable ar- rangements.

BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P. HURON-BRUCE Report from Queen's Park County Council brightener , By SHIRLEY 1 . KELLER =RICH—Two 'hungry county councillors managed to swing one more gaunt council- lor's vote on a motion to in- crease the per diem allottment for eating purposes from $5 to $7.5Q. Duff Thompson, reeve of Clinton and Calvin Kramer, reeve of Brussels said that since the cost of everything else was rising, it seemed only right that county councillors should re- ceive an increased eating allow* ance while travelling on county business. Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle in- timated that anyone who could not get enough to eat on $5 per day should carry a lunch. Tuck- ersmith's reeve Elgin Thompson agreed; and noted that in his area persons could get a ban- quet for $2.00, When the matter came to a vote, Frank McFadden, reeve of the village of Bayfield com- pleted the trio in favour of the expense.
