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. The coun-
thy with the objections of the
federal government medicare
bill.
The federal government is
offering to pay 50% of the cov-
erage per capita costs of medi-
care in participating provinces.
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.
MUSEUM
Council authorized the pur-
chase of a used vacuum cleaner
in the amount of $125 and 500
advertising folders at a price of
$100 for Huron County Museum.
A centennial plaque erected on
the 1966 addition will be un-
veiled at the June session of
council.
A new museum employee, J.
Raymond Neill, has been hired
at a salary of $3, 000 per annum,
JAIL
Uniforms for employees at
the county jail have been pur-
chased at a cost of $435.85 from

erich. New turnkey at the jail
is Leonard Rivett who will re-
ceive $3,300 annually.
The probation officer will
move to another office in the
court house and the jail resi-
dence will become the head-
quarters for the new Huron Court-
ty Library System following

County Council

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.
