(Reason for giving the by-law three readings in one night was because of some advice which the town solicitor had received from Queen's Park, it was said. Appar- ently, provincial authoritie re- quire police commissions to sub- mit their budgets for approval by March 1. The town police 'force consists of the chief and four other con- A.1•••••••• -..- stables. Last year, the department had an operating =budget of �$22,000.

The main 'reason for the this news aper wa informe% ' members embers p$oii cis r' is to ayoid the possibility of,here ever beim any petty political interfer• ence in police matters. This does not mean- that ,Council feels. there, has-been such interference in the past, one member of Council stated. It was also felt that the mem- bers of a..pglice commission are generally better acquainted with police routine and are therefore better qualified to supervise the police department than is Council. A police commission has worked successfully in Listowel, which is considerably smaller than Gdde- rich, for about 10 years, it was 'argued. • Further, any Goderich citizen who has a complaint can still bring it before the police commission.

So said M.agistr'ate D. E. Ho' 'es as he fined G. F. Huffman, 'Cedar Springs, $26 and costs, fol' overloading his truck by 4,450 pounds. • Huffman was .one. of five .truckers whose cases were heard in ma trate's court at Goderich last week. The magistrate declared that truckers' who overload their ve- hicles are cheating the govern- ment, wearing out the roads and wearing out their own equipment prematurely. Provincial Constable D. A. Bow- ring, who is a mem ,er of the traf fie squad from tchener, may have been a lit a too lenient be- cause he didn't charge more truck- ers, the magistrate indicated. -The constable said_ that he hadn't been in the habit of charging truckers unless .they were overloaded by more than 2,500 pounds. ,The five truckers who were charged had been engaged in a road,construction project near. St. Joseph. Others fined, besides G. F. Huff- man; ""`uVere: 'Tfaroid-Fuhr, of -RR. 5, Stratford, $10 and costs; William G. Lovie, of R.R. 3, Parkhill, $20 a d costs; Howard Huffman, of C dar Springs, $20 and costs, and Larry Calder, of •Hensall, $15 and costs. (M'r. Fuhr said in his own defence. that the weigh scale is three or four miles from the pit where the trucks are loaded. The constable said that if he had charged all the drivers whose trucks were ' overloaded the court would have been,busy all day. In a speeding case, Robert S. Morey, of R,R. 1, Little Britain, was fined $15 and costs.

The reason the association had gone ahead and spent $415 just re- cently was that one horseman wanted accommodation for five horses and two men, Council was told. New rental fees for barns 1 and 2 are $2.50 monthly per stall; rental fees in barn No. .3 are $1.50 monthly per stall Mr. Feagan Said the facilities which the association has been maintaining could prove a valu- •able asset in bringing an annual agricultural fair back to Goderich.
