The addition of an.

intersection of ,Victoria Street
and . Nelson Street provoked
comment from the mayor who
stated he was pleased at the
appearance of that intersection
each time he drove past and he
commended the Dutch Canadian
families who had donated the
fountain this year. "It has made

Another matter that I believe
deserves some attention is the
water service to the Salt Mine. I
believe that with the combined
efforts of the Town, the P.U.C., .
and Dom -Tar Chemicals, we
could and should arrive at some
plan for providing the Salt Mine
with a town water supply.
Over .the past years, water
services . were extended to
Maitland Golf and Country
Club, Dominion Roads for
added fire protection, Sheaffer
Pen Co., -and our, empty
Industrial Park has a very
complete sewer and water
service. Therefore, I see no
argument' against Sifto Salt Mine
receiving the same services.
If I am elected Mayor for the
town of Goderich for the next
term, I assure you I will still
carry out my duties with your.
best interests in mind, as I have
in the past five years.
Thank -you.

intersection on one of the
entrances to our town. he said.
Dr. Mills said two phases of a
four-phase sewer program had
been completed and the other
stages were scheduled for work.
Waterloo and Elgin Avenue both
have been completed and more
work is planned to start in the
: spring. Dr. Mills said the one
thing he had disagreed with on -
the financing of the sewers was
_ _that they were paid for over two
years instead of spreading the
cost over a longer period of
time. He said ' he felt . if the"
financing had been carried ,out
over five years the taxpayer
could have had a decrease in the
mill rate this year, making the
community unique,
On the subject of recreation,
Dr. Mills said he was greatly
impressed with the work of the
Go derich Recreation" and
Community Centres Board
members in getting the arena
work' carried out as this had
resulted in a "tremendous
recreational facility" for the
town. Dr. Mills said the arena
now was filled with young
people all the time ,,and was
expected to start paying its own
way and make money with roller
skating and ice skating.
He said the arena renovations
had been approved over much
opposition from council and he
commended the recreation..
board for its perseverance .and
' eventual success in getting
approval. He said he gave credit
to council too for. finally seeing
that the work was right and
proceeding with the work.
Dr. Mills referred to the work
carried out at Judith,Gooderhani
Park with the replacement -of a
filtration system that in ,part had
never worked with a modern
unit that made the pool the best
there was in the area. He said the
recreation board,also had
obtained grants fr the work
that amounted to a considerable
amount of money.
For the future he suggested
improvement of the roads in the
town; he said the relighting of
the Square should be carried out
and tourist promotion and
development should "continue.
Continuation of the industrial
cannot, in all faith, take part in a
game because the music is on for
another election.
"There have been major
things, done in our town in the
last four years•that I have served
and.I have been proud to have
played a major 'part within the
council to bring these about and
I have felt a great deal of sense
of accomplishment With the
completion of these projects for
the town.
"You and I have seen the
progressive face of this town and
I believe the town is very much
better for it. It is a credit to you
and people from other areas say
this, they don't say it of me, but
of you, and I am proud to be a
part of it.
"If it is your wish I will go on
in 1971 with the people 'w'ho
already have been elected and
continue to support a
thoughtful., progressive policy
for the good of this town."
WORSELL SPEECH...
Reeve Harry Worsell will
oppose Mayor Dr. G. F. Mills at
the December 7 Municipal
election. His nomination address
is as follows:
Mr. Chairman, Fellow
Citizens:
I wish to thank the gentlemen
who }have nominated me for the -
Mayor's office for 1971-72. I
have moved through the various
offices in, town council over the
past five years, and during
1969-70 I have been Reeve of
the town, and also represented
you at County Council. Now I
feel it Is my dutyto move on
from this position, to give those
coming behind . me the
opportunity to be Reeve.
3o, for 1971-72, I am seeking
the office of Mayor. As always; I
have tried to act in the best
interests of all the people of
Goderich, and I shall continue to
do so.
Before this evening is over
you will hear many fluent
speakers. I don't pretend 'to
belong in this class, but as your
Reeve, I would like to report on
some of the activities that were
my responsibility over the last
two years.

Southern Part of Town and for
future needs in Indugtrial Park:
This sub -station with connecting.
lines has been in use for quite
sometime, and represents a
capital expenditure of about
$125,000.00.
Though your Utility in the'
formative years, provided for
basic future power loads by
Domtar, we did have a
considerable capital expenditure
in the installation of new meters '
and relative material and wages
respecting the expanded
production capacity by this
Company. This increased
consumption of power = ?by
Domtar is welcomed by your
Utility, for it is by such that we
are able to offer present rates`*of
power.

Department. The advents or
many new Subdivision with
subsequent water requirements
has been a busy factor. A true
indicator of the growth of home
building is the fact - of our
• installing 68 new, individual
.. water services during the past
two years; Also 4850 of .new
water mains have been put in.
Sometime ago .Town Uouncil
ratified our: recommendation of
enlarging the pumping capacity
at. the pumping station:- The
added capacity of 500,000 gals
per day will be of much benefit,
and will thus bring daily output
to 4 million gals. O.W.R.C.
recently developed a new type
filter which will replace the
present old filters. This fact has
brought about this extra capacity
at a reasonable cost of
$20,000.00.
One can readily understand,
that if plants enlargement were
involved, and in this case is not,
of this extra of 500,000
gais, capacity could well exceed
$150,000,00. The ;sum of
$20,000.00 Will come out of our
Reserve Fund held by O,W.R.0 ,,
and will thus not be a direct out
or pocket expense. If and -when
plants enlargement is absolutely
necessary, with its extremely
high cost, their cost. of the
present enlargement certainly
will not have been wasted, It will
mean exactly this much capacity

However, revenue in this
Department is not adequate for
such projects and it hasn't been
adequate for anything beyond

difficulties, in 1968 the costof

was $107,268.50, while in 1970
