The move has been made at ''the request of Coun. Paul Carroll, who served notice of the - motion on October 1, and Coun. David Gower. Coun. Carroll said the matter had been brought before this council and other councils in the past and • was of ' such a controversial nature that he felt the people should be allowed to make the final° decision. A petition served by businessmen in the community asking council to make such facilities available has not been acted • on by council. Deputy reeve `Walter Sheardown was opposed to a Goderich council last week plebiscite.

Coun. Frank Walkom agreed yvith the,d pputy reeve stating he feels the .decision should rest with council. He suggested if electors favoured a trailer park in town it would " ... no doubt end up in Harbour Park again." Coun. Reg Jewell, who was opposed to: removing the trailers from Harbour Park in the first place, • stated he would be ' in favour" of letting the people •decide and would also be in favour of using HarbourrPark for the site again. He suggested the matter was hurried through council when the decision to bar trailers from Harbour Park was made a year ago. Dr, G. F. •Mills, mayor, stated he felt the, decision to bar trailers from the town was an error. He said Mr. Gardiners' site was too far from the beach to be effective and in order to attract tourists the town must a e facilities .in the beach Qarea. e said the- town had suffered a severe loss in tourist 'dollars this past summer as a result of the that 1' the wording of the plebiscite be left with the town's solicitor. On a recorded' vote Deputy Reeve Walter Sheardown, Coun. Frank Walkom and Coun. Deb Shewfelt were opposed to letting the people decide., Reeve Harry Worsen was absent from the meeting. Trailers were first banned from Harbour. Park under a Motion of September 1969 which. was made on the contingency that an alternate site be found. A second motion the same day asking council's permission for the Parks committee and 1-Iarbour committee of council to seek an• alternative site Was, .passed unanimously, On November 6 'a motion that the , town proceed with setting up a new Site in town was defeated by„council although no site was named.

Municipalities say 'No' to enlarged authori BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER" The big question these days among Conservation Authority officials seems to be "Why?". Why did five municipalities — particular.ly . the village of Bayfield — vote against to rrubye to enlarge the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority'? • The motion was inaugurated by the ' town of. Seaforth to enlarge the • Maitland Valley Conservation Authority to include all the land south of the present south ,boundary of the Maitland Valley Conservation Alrthority to where the south boundary . of Stanley. Township meets Lake lluron. A meeting in Goderich last Wednesday afternoon considered the proposal and finally "voted on the matter. The motion failed to get the required two-thirds majority when seven municipalities voted in favor and five' were opposed to` the move. A spokesman from Seaforth explained the reasoning . behind the Seaforth proposal. He said rs council• had assumed that it ' was more than -likely that every municipality would • be forced into a conservation authority in the near future. From Seaforth's point of view, he added, the Maitland" Valley Conservation Authority was the most logical ,choice since the Ausable Conservation Authority " to the south was further away. The original resolution, the Seaforth spokesman stated, was to include the Bayfield • River watershed in the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority: FredJackson, of the Conservation Branch of the Department . of Energy : and Management, Resources was on _ hand to answerquestions. John `Pinney of Hay Township asked if the Ausable Conservation Authority was being ignored since its proposal had .been to have the Bayfield River watershed join with the Ausable group. He 'learned that things were taken , in order and since the Seaforth proposal was received first, it would be processed first. "If the motion is defeated," said Mr. Jackson, "another meeting can be set up to consider the possibility of the Bayfield River communities joining • with the Ausable Authority. But let it be understood that • the whole Bayfield watershed must go one Authority or another." John Berry, Clerk treasurer of -Huron County, said Warden Roy Westcott, had been unable to attend' the meeting but had asked Berry to convey his thoughts .to the' group. He said Connie Hickey named Queen of the Furrow Connie Hickey, 20, of RR 3, Auburn, was voted Queen of the Furrow at the annual Huron County Plowing, Match at Seaforth,Saturday.
