At Friday night's Council meet - bag, lit was moved byCouncillor Frank Wellcome seconded by Coun- cillor Peter S, MacEwan, that the report, recommending an addition- al officer, be adopted. The report Was not voted.: on, since Deputy -Reeve James Donnel- ly and Councillor Charles Robert- son -rose to request more time to consider the proposal. The deputy - reeve said he was rather. taken by surprise rpr se and wanted more time to study the matter. )froth he and Councillor Robert- son said, in effect, that they would like to see figures and reasons pro- duced to show whether or not another man is the best solution. The Real Problem The deputy -reeve suggested that there is another problem that is more acute than manpower. The biggest problem, he maintained, is to make the present police more readily available to the public when needed. Six or seven men might not be anymore satisfactory than four, he said, unless the present system is improved. 'He suggested that a -detailed pro- posal be put before Council, show- ing what duties would be assigned to the proposed additional officer. He also asked if the police com- mittee could bring Council a sum- mary of work done by the force at present. Alt another stage in Friday's meeting, Mayor J. H. Graham, chairman of the police committee, registered his disapproval as Coun- cil voted a salary increase of $200 to Police Chief F. M. Hall. The mayor said he was concerned about the fact that four constables re- signed from the local force within WILDWOOD MOTEL ON HIGIi*AY NO.. 21, -ONE MILE 'SOUTH OF B.A.YFIELD NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS MODERN HEATED ROOMS ALSO MODERN RESTAURANT SPECIAL DINNERS .� Served Every Week -End -12-15 11 1 AIR-CONDITIONED ktti • AT PHONE • • THE pAR,1150 Y •• • • GODERICH •• Now Playing—"WALK THE PROUD L'IVD"—Cinemascope— Techtiicolor_Audie Murphy, Anne Bancroft.

Councillor Robertson also said Council would be wise to wait until the 1857 tax rate is ready for Striking, before proceeding on the police committee recommendations. Would Like Proof Regarding the proposed addition- al constable, Deputy -Reeve Donnel- ly said that perhaps one is needed, but no one had shown him a con- vincing argument so far. The real problem, he suggested, is that the police are not always available td the public when need- ed, He said he had observed the 'pollee on a number of occasions when going about the town. "They stick pretty closely together," he 'commented. "When there are two men on, they are more often seen together. . ." He noted, "We could have six or seven men and it wouldn't be any better, if they were all to- gether." "I feel certain if it COUNCILLOR CHARLES ROBERT- SON, who, with Deputy/Reeve James Donnelly, told Town Council they would like to see figures and reasons why another man on the Town Police Force was necessary. four months and "I'd like to get to the bottom of it." Council also voted a salary in- crease of $200 to Constable A. So �iChuth.ere was talk at the meeting of a possible $5,000 increas in the police budget for 1957. Grant Increases Earlier in the meeting, Council approved a wage increase of 10 cents an hour for town works em- ployees. This brings their pay to $1.30 an hour, or $3,042 per 'ear. The foreman was voted -an increase of $234 per year. Besides the recommendation to hire a 'fifth officer, the police com- mittee report recommended that the police .chief ,be authorized to loge appeals to the county judge. It was indicated that the recom- mendationscame aboult as a result of a recent police committee meet - nig at which Crown Attorn4yx H. Glenn Hays discussed the Ideal situation. Regarding the hiring of another man, Mayor Graham stated, "My opinion is we don't meed anymore. I think it's. a question of organizing it." 1 Deputy-ateeve Donnelly asked 1 Councillor .Walkom if he would mind explaining the reasons under t lying the police committ recom- mendations. Councillor Walkom replied tha the crown attorney had said th local ifcprce is under -staffed. H had mentioned hiring a girl for th police office, but the police com mittee had felt it would be bette to hire another man. The committee felt it wasn't fai to ask the present police officer to work more than 51 hours a week, said Councillor ° Walkom Later, another member of Cgunci suggested that a portion of the 51 hours'is spent "with knife and fork." Taken 13y Surprise When Councillors Walkom and MaeEwan moved adoption of the eport, the deputy -reeve said .lie y'as taken by surprise and was not repared ,to deal with it yet. He sked for a chance to think about t before giving his opinions. Councillor Robertson rose to de lare, "I'm very anxious that' the own be well policed, but I'm yet of convinced it is necessary to lave five policemen to administer ustice. I've never =yet heard a eal reason why we should have ve.„ He added, "I think, with fai/ne— o the citizens, our tax rate is high nough. "We were two members .short at he last meeting when this report as brought up," Councillor Rob- rtson claimed. "I registered my protest, but the matter went hrough." In seconding Deputy -Reeve Don- elly's amendment that the motion e withheld until the next Council eeting, . Councillor Robertson cited that Councillor W. A. Tipple as not present and therefore were put to a vote, you would ,be beaten," Coun- cillor Walkom told the deputy - reeve. He said, however, that he wanted to be fair -and would agree to delay a vote on. the motion. The next regular Council meeting is on Friday, April 5. Councillor Walkom said that the fact that new constables were be- ing "broken in" might sometimes be the reason that two men were seen travelling together. Councillor "Bothered"' Councillor Robertson said he had been "bothered" all day as thought about the police matt Commented Mayor Graham: you've got away with one you're doing good. I've been th ing about it a good many days Last two years!" The mayor said that addition another constable would m about $3,000 more in taxes. Deputy -Reeve Donnelly then ed if the police committee co bring Council a summary of w done by the force. ,Councillor Walkom said that, the information of those cou members who might be wonder about speeding, the chief repo at the last committee meeting t 11 speeding charges have been since January 1. Mayor Graham 'maintained t the chief has not lived up to agreement. Isle is not doing he work which he promised w ie was hired, stated the mayo Councillor Walkom sugge.s hat the mayor go' to the 'el personally and take this matter with him.

Meeting last week, Goderich Pub- lic School Board set a budget of $152,393, compared to $130,355 spent last year. The tknird started this year with a balance on 'hand of $4,911. Its only other revenue expected this year, aside (from the town levy of $100,000, will be $47,782 in provincial grants. The net provincial grant is estim- ated to be about $8,000 higher than last year. The $3,000 increase in the local levy means a little more than half a mill in terms of the tax rate. The estimates have been for- warded to Town Council for con- sideration when the 1957 Town tax rate is struck. Teachers' salaries account for $89,000, the Iion's share of the board's budget. This ka ,ary total represents a net increase of around $8,000 over last year's payroll. In- cluded in this amount is $3,120 to cover new increases which become effective next September. 0 At $26,329, plant operation and maintenance is the second largest item in the 1957 budget. The board will need $21,264 to cover debenture payments. The board has budgeted $8,000 for capital expenses, compared to $2,540 spent last year. During 1956, the board spent $1,000 on the gym floor and about $2,000 on other "non-recurring" work. 'focal town assessment for public school purposes is $5,328,000 this year.

"I understood that was to take the place of a policeman," he said. A delay had been experienced in obtaining a heavy duty generator, explained Councillor Walkom. Once the new generator has been installed, the mobile telephone can ,be put in operation, he said. Declared Deputy -Reeve Donnel- ly: "I really think if the police want to make that phone work, it will go a long way to solve the biggest problem." The subject of police salaries was introduced later. Councillor Walkom said he didn't know how king the town could I keep the present force. Said he, "It's quite possible one of them will be leaving within the next couple of months." The maximum salary for con- stables here is $3,400 annually, said Councillor 'Walkom, but there is no maximum limit on the chief's salary. Councillor James Bisset suggested that a minimum and maximum salary schedule be set up for all members of the force. "Piecemeal" Approach The deputy -reeve said he thought thatCouncil. had been dealing with salaries of town employees in -a "piecemeal" manner. In future, he suggested, it would be better to review them all at once and adjust any inequities. Town laborers start at one dol- lar per hour and reach $1.30 in six months. This means that they are earning at the rate of $3,042 nually, it was,pointed out. Police nstaibles start at $2,800 annually d ther6 appears to be no set time ✓ receiving an increase. There was a suggestion advanced at new constables be 'given an crease of $100 at the end of six nths and $100 more at the end the first year. This suggestion drew fire from uncillor Robertson. He made it ear he was not kindly disposed and a man accepting a salary $2,800, then coming in for more soon. Both he and Deputy -Reeve Don sot. agreed that if the town could good wages to four men, it ht .be better than having five o were dissatisfied.
