submitted by the harbour
Committee for .an application
under the Provincial Incentive
program for work in. the area of
the Goderich harbour. '
The application is divided lith
four sections and in answering
questions on the plan Reeve Paul
Carroll, who is also chairman of
the Harbour Committee, admitted•
that it was possible, one or more'
sections might . not receive .
approval but noted that the -items
fisted were matters that, needed
work and were therefore, ,being
alpp%d for..;
The first section covers a
pic'ric shelter to be constructt.. at,
a costbof approximately $3,000 for
,materials, to be paid by the
town,,
with the labour to- be paid for by
the incentive program.
Planting trees in various
-areas, where slopes and, shore
line not in use are bare, was the .
second division of the proposal.
The cost of this program Would be
minimal to„the town, Mtn: Carroll
said, with the cost not to exceed
$50. `The ; labour agaiir would,. be
paid by the 'incentive progra-m,
