on tourist campsite issue
The people of Goderich will
' have the opportunity at the next
election to chose for themselves
whether or not they want . a
municipality ,operated. tourist
campsite and trailer facility in
the town.
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. He said the town had decided to increase • the size of fforts.

trailer business, and suggested allowing t h e volunteer

Acouncil had no suitable• place in firefighters away from work on
had "experienced difficulties at Ore calls
•
Mr. - Gardiner had stated 'he
. hoped .the town would not go
into the tent and trailer business
for at leash two years.
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.
No location for any site. was
discussed by council last week "

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
