Goderich Twp. council discuss senior housing proposal
Senior Citizen housing at
both the county and local
level was one of the topics of
discussion when Goderich
Township Council met in
regular session on November
21.
Township council passed a
motion to approve in prin-
ciple the formation or con-
solidation of present senior
citizen housing under a
county committee. This
would mean, in effect, that
instead of each separate
municipality in the county
running its own senior citizen
facility, the county would run
all of them. Those people in
the county's municipalities

A doctor told a man, "The
thing for you to do is to drink
hot water an hour before
breakfast every morning."
After a week the man
returned to the doctor's of-
fice. "How are you feeling?"
asked the doctor.
"I feel worse if anything."
"Did you follow my
directions and drink hot
water an hour before break-
fast every morning?" asked
the doctor.
"I tried my best," said the
man, "but I couldn't keep it
up for more than 15 minutes
at a time."

Selling your house....
What Doesn't Work?
If you're at all like many homeowers, you've become used to
working around appliances and gadgets which hove stopped
working. A knowledgable prospect, looking at your house,
will want to throw switches to be sure that lights do light --
that the attic fan really works -- that the dishwasher doesn't
flood the kitchen -- and so forth.
Chances are that It's been quite some time since you last
made a thorough check of the electrical and mechanical
systems in Your house. Does the vent on the attic fan open
and close freely? What about that mystery switch on that
wall that doesn't seem to turn anything on or off? Have you
ever figured out why the rear doorbell only works part of the
time?
A slew of minor failures when a prospect gives your house the
once-over can add up to a bad impression, and lack of a forth-
coming offer to purchase. -�
We're aced to the fine art of flame tuning a house for inspec-
tion by prospective buyers. Arid we know what to say when
an item won't function no matter what!

facilities could then be
eligible to move to one within
the county.
Regarding the proposed
senior citizen housing facility
in Goderich, township council
passed a motion to agree to
contribute a combined total of
$25,000 along with the Town of
Goderich and Colborne
Township to assist in the
acquisition of the West Street
site for the facility.
Goderich Township council
also passed a motion to have
the township undertake and
agree to contribute together
with the town of Goderich and
Colborne Township, 71/2 per
cent of any annual loss
arising from the operation of
the project.
The proposed 75 unit senior
citizen housing facility to be
built in Goderich would serve
the town as well as the neigh-
bouring townships of
Colborne and Goderich on a
rent geared to income basis.'
In other business, Goderich
Township Council heard
complaints from three per-
sons present at the council
meeting regarding water
being dumped into the Yeo
Drain by the F. Ridder tile
drains resulting in
overloading. No motions were
recorded regarding this
problem.
Reeve Gerry Ginn reported
to township council his fin-
dings regarding S.A.M. (a
proposed suhdivision in
Goderich Township) and the
interpretations of the
township's secondary plan. In
order to follow the concepts of
the township plan, township
council decided to recom-
mend that the present
proposed subdivision plan be
revised so that the lots are
reduced to a minimum size
and the open spare increased
accordingly.
Township council passed a
motion to concur with the
resolution' passed by the
Township of Sandwich West
regarding school buses,
Present legislation says that
school bus driver must
identify the driver of any car
which passes a bus when it
has its flashing red lights on
in order to hold that driver
liable for violation of that
law. Sandwich West has
proposed that the legislation
he changed so that the bus
driver must identify the
vehicle rather than the driver
and that the owner of the
vehicle be held liable rather
than the driver.
J. Lindsay was present at
the township council meeting
on the 21st to ascertain the
progress of his request to
build a home on pt 36 con-
cession 3. Regarding this
inquiry council passed a
motion to have the clerk
request the status of Lind-
say's request for a land use
change on this property.
Council decided to have
J.D. Hindmarsh's land
severence application
referred to the Reeve. Also
Chas. B. Lindsay's request
for land severence is `being
referred to Councillor Reder
for further investigation and
report.
