County Council meeting Thurs- day and Friday last week decided that the rental agreement should include money for maintenance and capital costs at the, jail. There was no immediate indica- tion of what such an agreement would cost Goderich per year. The Town of Goderich had ex- pressed an. interest i4' the former jail property this fall when it be came evident the county was having difficulty finding a use for the premises. Reeve Paul Car- roll of Goderich told council Fri - new additions for presentation to county council. Good Rent Promised The Warden, Elmer Hayter, said the province bad assured the county of a "good rent" if the ad- ditional facilities were provided. Ken McMichael, chairman of the property committee, ad- mitted that the • province had asked for only another 2,600 square feet of space, but said the additional, room to be constructed would not go unused.

He said he couldunder- stand Goderich's feeling that the jail building and its walls should remain intact.

Reeve Carroll asked that con- sideration be given to acquiring additional property to the west of the present office building for the new construction. He said he felt certain the Town of Goderich would prefer to see all the exer- cise yards at the jail remain in- tact. He added .that the specific exercise yardtslated for removal was the one most suited for an outdoor amphitheatre, according to experts in the field. Reeve Anson McKinley, deputy reeve of Stanley. Township, re- quested , that consideration » be given to building the 'addition par allerto the.. fresent'sttucttir�e, on the north side. Although this would result in the loss of some parking space, Mr. McKinley felt this obstacle could be overcome by removing exercise yards of less importance to the Goderich plans for the jail. Museum,. Arts It was learned that Goderich saw the jail as a combination museum of penology,, cultural arts centre, and theatre with some facilities provided for din- ing and » perhaps souvenirs. County councillors voted 27 to 5 againstthe county building a museum of penology at the jail and 23 to .9 in favor of leasing the property to Goderich for a similar purpose. A third proposal, that of the county, and the Town of Goderich co-operating toward establishing a museum and -or a cultural arts centre at the site of the county jail,, did not come to a vote. Reeve Charles Thomas of Grey Township asked for an explana- tion as, to why the County of Huron should provide facilities for provincial: government of- fices. "Is there a profit to be made or does it cost us money?" asked Mr. Tomas. Clerk Berry told him that on ,.the present building, the county expects to have its initial invest- ment, about $134,000 back in 20 years. He also reminded Mr. Thomas that by providingaddi-, tional space, it would assist county to "retain something we have now". Councillor Cecil Desjardine of Stephen Township questioned the wisdom of hiring an architect when no final arrangements had been made with the province for leasing the building. He was told the architectural firm of Snider, Huget and March, London, had been contacted to draw prelimin- ary plains since that firm had.con- structed the present building and because it was necesary to deter - MESSENGERS MEET WHITECHURCH — The Mes- sengers held their December meeting on Sunday during the church service in the Sunday School room.
