He is not as concerned with trout

Plan New Fence SENTENCES FOR DRUNK
For Race Track
A new fence around, the inside
of the race track at Agricultural
Park will likely be erected before
the first race meet on June 2.
At the Town Council meeting
last,Friday night, a letter from the
Goderich Agricultural and Trotting
Association pointed out the need
for the new fence. The present
one is broken in many places and
several sections are missing.
Reeve J. H. Graham said he felt
the new fence should go complete-
ly around thetrack. and favored
building it as soon as possible. He
said he thought the association
could assist financially in the pro-
ject.
The -request was referred' to
council's public works • -and parks
committees to meet jointly with
the association and work out plans.
DRIVING, THEFT ,COUNTS
Pleading guilty to a charge of
drunk driving, William Walmsley,
