Feeling of the petitioners is that it Would natrow the street so much it would make snow removal' impossible. Les Pitblado was present at the meeting and told council that while the sale of road allowances on the westerly por- tion of the street posed no real problem, further sales would result in "no place to put snow in the wintertime". The most recent sale of road allowances on Gloucester Terrace was to Maitland Chambers. "There hasn't been anyone but Chambers in," reported Mayor Harry Worsell to Pit- blado. "If anyone else does come, we'll be looking into it." Reeve Deb Shewfeit suggested the matter should be studied by the Administrative Committee who will notify the people in the Gloucester Terrace area of any action to be taken. *** Another letter has been ,received from the London law firm of Shepherd, McKenzie, Plaxton, Little and Jenkins by Goderich Town Council, this time requesting a certified copy of the resolutions from the August 9 meeting. Town Administrator Harold Walls reported that while he'd had "no fort -dal correspondence from -the Town Solicitor Dan Murphy regarding providing such material to George Plax- ton, ` lawyer for the local businessmen with regard to the. mall proposal, he'd been given verbal assurance from Murphy that it was in order to supply such information. Councillor Leroy Harrison once more stated that in his opinion, the material should. -be supplied "at Mt: Plaxton's ex- pense" . "Why is this request treated any differently- than others," asked Councillor Elsa Haydon. "We shouldn't leave the im- pression we ever hes/ted."

McKinley, MP for Huron, regarding grants in connection with Sky Harbor Airport, showed there are some grants available for construction _and principle, mostly for runways and beacons, at a municipally operated airport. Mr. McKinley had been looking into the matter on behalf of Goderich Town Coun- cil. Manor Harry Worsell advised the weather station construc- tion is proceeding well and said the building should be ready for occupancy by the end of September. Plans of James Hayter Sr. for an addition to Hayter Chev and Olds on the firm's Elgin Avenue lot were approved by council and a permit. will be issued by the town's building inspector, Roy Breckenridge. .Builder -is John Refflinghaus of Refflinghaus Construction who was on hand to outline plans for the four -bay addition. * -An interesting sidelight showed up in the monthly report of Building Inspector Roy Breckenridge last Thur- sdaY In this, the day ,of higher building costs, Breckenridge's report showed that 41 building permits for individual dwellings had been issued to date representing a total building cost of $99,3,000 - or a little over $24,000 as an average cost. Last year, 34 building per- mits .for new. single residential projects had represented $1,086,000 - or almost $32,000 average.' - In a telephone conversation Monday, Breckenridge ex- plained that last year's records did not always differentiate between single dwelling units and apartment buildings. He said it was difficult to give an, accurate picture, of last year's building permit situation in -relation to this year's figures and added he was confident / that next year's comparisons Would be much more telling. "Building costs are not going °down," said Breckenridge.
