Goderich pays 62%. This amounts to $11,160. - a year, plus $3,720. - over the first two years: I remember attending a Council meeting at the beginning of the year when Councillor Carroll presented a thoroughly prepared proposition regarding a new dump site which had been investigated and recommended and for which the rent would have been $1,000. - a year. A group of Council members being against it, the site was rejected and we were stuck with our old deplorable dump ' for another year. Those. who rejected the plan did not really elaborate on their reasons. The only thing mentioned was the $1,000. - a year rent. I must frankly say I- was left with the impression that the said Council members just did . not like the particular man who stood to collect the rent money. I hope I was mistaken and that,their reasons for refusal were much more businesslike. So for the next two years it will cost our .townspeople $13,020. a year to participate in the operation of a dump in 4 Holmesville, the agreement to be reviewed after two years when it might easily mean an increase, whereas the originally proposed site was to have the same rent for 20 years. As the new dump site is eight 4 miles from Goderich, it is reasonable to . believe that the person who holds our town's • sanitation " contract will have to be paid extra ' for the longer distance to travel, ° time lost, gasoline used, depreciation . on his truck etc. Unfortunately, it is not clear ?whether the $13,020. ' yearly. .Aump-o_peratuig sot_ already includes this consideration or not. Does it? I am very glad that we finally did get around to establishing a new and suitable garbage disposal site 'and I do not want to take, away•even a little bit of the satisfaction the Council must feel over the decision. However, facts and figures are at times more fascinating than general talk and I would be relieved to remove from my mind the last bit of nagging suspicion that somehow the townspeople are expected to come up with funds to support the extravagance of pe conal likes and dislikes of some of our Councillors. I hope your newspaper can obtain for us a clear comparison of the two sets of figures: the total of the estimated costs in connection withthe site which was rejected earlier in the year and the total of the venture we are entering instead. If the facts show that we are now doing financially so much better with the new site, then let us truly congratulate ourselves for the dedicated job our Council as a whole is doing on our behalf. Yours very truly, Elsa Haydon Other winners since the IJ�n wins trophy GmmE mmU' 0NA "NOVEMBER 27, ,,0 , trophy was first . presented in 1958 include: other two-time winners Thomas Bowman of Stroud; Ontario, who won ,in 1959 and again in 1960; Robert Allen of Brucefield, in 1958 and 196 2; and Robert D.
