Mayor Frank Mills supported Councillor Carroll: ' He told Deputy -reeve Sheardown the ,proposed hike in dockage fees at Snug Harbor were not excessively high in respect to rates charged at other marinas ,along the lake. Deputy -reeve Sheardown, argued that. the costs were too high for some sailor, friends of his who vnrere residents of the town, "These men," said -the deputy -reeve .".feel they have already paid a partial east of docking their boats in Snug Harbor since Orig.,y contributed. through their, taxes, towards the $15,000 share the town paid towards renovations of Snug Harbor. . • "They're not doctors or lawyers you know, who can 'afford this kind.•,of money; they're Fust ordinary working fellows who want to enjoy boating as'a hobby but it will get beyond. their financial means if they're forced to pay additional dockage fees," Mayor Mill , told the deputy reeve there are no lawyers who have boats in Snug Harbour, and only one is owned by a doctor.

A letter from Percy Barker"was: read in which Mr. Barker emphasized the need for more landscaping to decorate the "prettiest town in 'Canada:" The writer suggested -the use of multi -colored floodlights - in courthouse park to highlight displays of colorful flower beds. Mr. -- Barker also recommended ' more pansies be planted; since, as he pointed out in his letter, this flower had been adopted by the town as its emblem. Councillor Paul -Carroll,' stated the would convey this, information rto . Goderich Horticultural$ i y: ` There was also -correspondence' from Baird Motors in which council was informed of the costs for replacing a burnt-out engine on the town's, motorized street sweeper. Two prices --were-given; one for $483 would provide a rebuilt motor; the second figure, of slightly more than $600, would pay for a new engine. ' Reeve Harry Worsell recommended that council approve the latter, Deputy- Reeve—Walter—Sheardown-agieed E. - (hat the cost of replacing the burnt-out engine for the sweeper was justified.

Recent letters from townspeople • complaining about its bad^taste had been investigated said Mr.'Sheardown. . At first It was thought by the technicians at the pumping station that the off -taste was being caused by addition of too much chlorine. Tests were made to . determine effects -of this chemical on the water's taste and it was discovered that the off -flavor was not being caused by an additive. The problem. was an annual one, said Mr. Sheardown, arising every spring when flood water from the Maitland river flowed into the pumping station's intake pipe in Lake Huron. • The only° way the problem could be corrected would be to lengthen the pipe, said the deputy -reeve.

Made the accusations out of council meeting.. . Deputy -Reeve Sheardown said he had .not critized the harbor committee sooner because he had not known what they Were doing until he had got complaints from people on the street after the committee's decisions had been. released to the public. CouncillorJewell was critical also of the special .committee method of conducting business of town council. "One ' half of us, doesn't know what 'the other half is doing," he said. Mayor `,Mills wound up the debate by telling councillors they would get their chance in November if they: wanted to ' change 'council's method of handling affairs. 'In . the meantime," he said, "we can make it a bad year for the town by refusing to cooperate or, we can' make it a year of progress if we can pull together."
