The Mayor: "We were war-
. tried, and right here I suggest
you cannot build a filtration
plant for an unlimited supply
•of filtered water to water your
garden. I do not think people
would approve capital expendi-
ture to put flltered water on
lawns. I think in future there
. is gojng to be- a curb on lawn
- watering, and my suggestion
would be to divide the town in
two, and have them use lawn
water alternately."
"Why should there t)e a short-
age?" he was asked.
The mayor: "It costs more to
"pump water out of our lake
than in some places that have
wells. We have to have low-
level and high-level pumps, and
mains up a hill." To another
questioner he said the hospital
uses "around 750,000 gallons, I
think a peak of 1.1 million."
Over Two Million
"Last summer, without cur-
tailment," he said, "we had to
pump upwards of 2.2 or 2.3
million gallons a day. I think
meters is the answer. It is the
equitable way, but it is another
$75,000 expenditure, and where
does it come from?"
Harold Shore:- "Doe S the
o,vmc intend to put in theby-
pAss?"
The mayor: "It is a matter
lot negotiation.".
Thomas Taylor (a former
utilities commissioner): "What
would the rate be with meters?
I installed' a meter, and pay
62.7 cents for the water I con-
sume, whereas the rate is 40
cents."
The mayor: "That is the last
rate—far industries."Mas.
Mas. Mooney mentioned her
county council experience, this
year on finance and EMO com-
mittees and Children's Aid. In
Goderich she has been chair-
man of parks.and recreation.
••We are going to be forced to
build a sewage disposal plant,
indi think you need a leader
with business experience. I
want to work hand' in hand with
the industrial commission. We
cannot be a residential town,
because we need indu.striat
assessment.j (Applause).
"As chairman of ,the finance
eommittee," said Reeve Frank
Walkom, "it has been my policy
o carry on town business as I
would carry on mY own, and I
l'on't like to see committees
over -spending.
"I felt proud of Mrs. Mooney
n county council."
He dealt with the town's con-
ribution to county financing,'
Ind predicted that the tows
nill rate would rise. Advant-
.ges of a mutual fire aid unit
)n county basis were described.
Reg. Jewell
Reg.. Jewell, unopposed for
lepaty reeve, praised the co
>peration received from town
dficials.
"Thirteen years ago," ho re -
ailed, "I watched with interest
vhen Ernie Fisher started or

'ears. .We are going to mis:
iim, and he will miss us."
"The Businessmen's Associa-
ion," Mr. Jewell said, "is going
thong nicely: and that is some-
hing we have lacked." He
raised the work of Wallace
3uckworth in looking after the
)each. As chairman of the
.rena commission, he listed
mprovements, and announced
hat only $3,000 would be re-
luested t'am council in -1964.
'anteen sales during 1960-1-2
had totalled $25,386, on Whielf

to another location; but until

possible.

what the acclamation system

"I am not satisfied with the
qtowth of the town. The
whole of Canada is , growing,
ind I do not think we are keep -
ng pace. We have to have
ndustries. Over 90(7( of our
children have to leave Huron
`o earn a living. Our taxes
ire going to go up so an in-
iustry cannot afford to come
iere. If I am elected I will
nye no stone unturned to try
`o obtain a new industry for
loderich, and help the indus-
'ries we haVe to expand."
Fire committee chairman R.
Hays praised the work of
he firefighters here at the
ime of the waterfront blaze.
"The mutual aid system has
been brought up -by EMO, and
*,reat things can- come from
his. I am hoping a system
of fire prevention can be ' de -
/eloped through it.
"The Maitland Valley Con-
•ervation Authority is going to
be of tremendous benefit to us.
rhe Maitland is the only river
of its size in southern Ontdrio
'hat is not polluted. Recently
he Authority was considering
ourchase of land at the Valls
leserve, which has tremendoir

avor of them doing it.'
Mr. Hays was the only speak-
er other than the mayor to

Maybe questions 'should have

that our supply system was

Former councillor Harold
Mrtgomery .cautioned that
"when a town expands it brings
up problems, too, and is not
all growth."
"I would like to see the town
expand normally and steadily,"
he said,"blit do not think Ter
ting to be a citygirli
olve your tax problems. In-
ilastries figure jhings pretty
closely, and If it is going to'be
'o their advantage they will
come to Goderich. It is going
to be very difficult, I think,
to persuade any industry to
come here unless it is advan-
tageous. Some have left here.
The average ratepayer is ',just
about as well off to -day as if
this were a.city. At the same
time, if the town was not
growing at all you would have
empty houses."
B. R. Robinson recalled that
four years ago he had criticized
failure to joi-n , the Maitland
Authority: "Now," he said,
"you are not four years but
eight years behind, because it
will take another four to add
appreciable value- at- Falls.. Mi.,'

Town Lighting
Harold W. Shore commented
that the Huron road, out
where "nobody lives" was
brilliantly lighted, and suggest-
ed more "ordinary lights for
the ordinary part of the town."
Speaking of the public school
board, he recalled that in 1959
it was first in /Huron. to in-
augurate a salary schedule for
the staff, based on experience,
and "now adopted by nearly all
urban boards in the county."
