Voters will reserve for future development; He said the expenditure would take place Over a period of time and pointed out any such development would be heavily subsidised by . the provincial government,' with a 50 per droit grant available to the municipality. He stressed the, people be advised the site would be for tourist.camping not just :trailers. The Y taxpayers of Goderich "4 will be asked December 7 whether or not they would be in favour Of, a• tourist camp site, operated by the municipality, on the South Beach. Council decided last week to make a specific location for a campsite part of the 'plebiscite bylaw ° at the advice of the town's solicitor J. Hunter. • Mr. Hunter : suggested four alternative questions: one asking if the people agreed generally with the idea of a tourist campsite; the second asking if they agreed with one on the South Beach; the third asking if. they agreed with one in Harbour Park and the fourth if they agreed with one run by The town in or outside of the boundaries of the town. Council discussed the alternatives and by a majority agreed Harbour Park should not be considered, particularly in view. of misleading publicity that ihadtbeetvgiveruto.thedoratlon.of4 trailers in Harbour Park by Deputy Reeve 'Walter Sheardown in a London Free Press article October 17. The deputy reeve refused to take part in any vote on the referrendum , stating he was opposed to it. He, said he felt the question would cause confusion in—tlie minds of the voters ",and suggesfed perhaps the South Beach was not the only municipal land available. , Dr. G. F. Mills, mayor stated that „hi view of the confusion that had already been caused by the newspaper article council should make itself . clearly understood by .the people as to where it stands. He polled council and showed only, Coun. Reg Jewell would be in favour of Harbour Park as a site for trailers. Coun. Jewell said he would not be opposed to the South Beachaarea " ... if, the people wished if." Coun. Deb Shewfelt, who.,ha been opposed, to the plebiscite ,when the move was made earlier, said he could not support the motion at that time As he felt it .. was "... not concrete enough." He said,he would'be in favour of naming the South Beach as a possible site. Reeve Harry Worsell stated he didn't feel the South teach would be a good area although he felt benefit would' be felt by a• trailer park somewhere in Goderich. Coun. Frank Waikom said he was in favour of , leaving the question to the people. He said it should be pointed out the cost would probably be half of what had been stated before, — perhaps $50,000. Coun. Paul Carroll reminded Council . he had 'presented a proposed plan for the South Beach area that would provide for park area, a campsite which would 'include facilities for trailers, tents and other camping units, and would -leave an area in jron-Perth board approves after hours scnooi-usepw'y • In other ' news , members , of council reported on the first meeting held to discuss phase one of regional development. Dr. Mills stressed the statement in the report that campsites were considered. very high on the list Of priorities in the area. Coun. ' Paul Carroll noted the port of Goderich was receiving consideration as a regional port and council will continue to press for development of the harbour for added facilities for - shipping. Coun. Frank, Walkoin stated he felt rural municipalities did not seem to have the same interest as Goderich. in the development of the area although all . supported tourist` development. Among the priorities listed in the report',' in -addition- a o • campsites werean arterial road linking the area with other "� centres; the development of more recreational. facilities such • McKillop and Hullett and the ` s manilas and boat facilities and p errosion control along the lake Town of Clinton the meeting front and rivers.
