The Goderich Ratepayers
Association has offici lly raised
strong opposition WAN method
of calculation for payment for
the South Storm Sewer. A let-
ter was received by council at
last Thursday's regular
meeting.
Councillor Elsa Haydon
suggested that a letter be sent
to -the--Association advising
them that the matter has been
brought to the attention of
council.
Deputy -reeve Stan Profit
suggested that mentbers of the
Association should also be
reminded in the letter that
Goderich Town Council has
nothing to do with the method
of calculating fees in connec-
tion with the South Storm
Sewer.
* * *
The Goderich Ratepayers'
Association has also advised
Goderich Town Council it igfi
opposed to rezoning to permit t'
the construction of row housing
in the Gibbons, Bennett and
Suncoast Drive, area.
The letter stated the
Association was not in favor of
the way the row housing
question was "handled".
Councillor Dave Gower said
the Association should be more
specific in their correspondence,
rather than simply stating it
was opposed to the way the
matter was "handled".
Deputy -reeve Stan Profit said
the matter was still under
study and Reeve Deb Shewfelt
pointed out many of the
problems involving the project
would be solved., when the
Restricted Area Bylaw (Zoning
Bylaw) is circulated in the next
few weeks. -
Later in the meeting; the
Restricted ,Area Bylaw was
given third and final reading
and will 'be sent to all
ratepayers in the municipality
within the next few days.

be serviced by cable television.
Town Council has been infor-
med of the intention of the
federal department of public
works to install a wave recor-
der receiving station at the
marina office during the period
from November 1, 1973 to May
1974. "-
The
The government is assuming
full responsibility for security
and for the -expenses of elec-
tricity in recording and heating
during the period of operation.
"We can assure you that any
damages occurring as a result
of operational requirements
will be rectified when the
station is dismantled," wrote
H.J.. Wu of the Ministry of
Public Works.
Walter Sheardowh is
managing the station on behalf
of the government, n was lear-
ned. He will be visiting the site
regularly once daily.
The Ontario Housing Cor-
poration has inquired into the
possibility of receiving a
resolution from Goderich Town
Council giving council's ap-
proval of a HOME (Horne
Ownership Made Easy)
program in Goderich if and
when land becomes available.
"We will continue to examine
the possibilities,, of implemen-
ting a HOME program in your
municipality and will keep you
informed as to our progress,"
wrote W.A. Way of the Land
Acquisition and Management'
branch.
The resolution of council
goes out this week.

Council gave its approval
last week for the local Public
Utilities Commission to in-
crease its collection fee by ten
cents per customer per month.
The present collection
charges ampunt to $2.10 RAF
customer per annum and with
the new fee added on, it will
amount to $3.30 per annum for
each customer.
Due to rapidly increasing
costs in all phases of the PUC
operation, council was told, the
increases was recommended by
the Ontario Hydro Auditor.

Council has been advised
that Delbar cannot claim a
right to use the -open ditch dug
and maintained by Suncoast
Estates Limited just because
part of it is located on a town -
owned easement.
A letter from B.M. Ross and
one from Town Solicitor Dan
Murphy explained the situation
fully surrounding the 50 foot
easement which runs from
Sheaffer Pen's plant to the
pollution control plant at the
South of Delbar's subdivision
and through - Suncoast's land.
The letter from Murphy
opened some discussion once
more at Pcouncil as to who ac-
tually does own Suncoast Drive
- the Town or Suncoast. It has
generally been agreed that
while the Town has not of-
ficially assumed ownership of
the street, Suncoast Drive has
Paul Carroll, Chairman of
the Harbor Liaison Committee
of the Goderich.. Sailing Club
has requested an opportunity
for the committee to meet with
council to present a short set of
:suggestions on repairs' to Sntg
ti
Harbor.
Ina letter to council, Carroll
said the group was aware of
plans for some repairs at the
marina and suggested they
might be able to add some
ideas to those already
reviewed. `cJ
The matter will be taken up
at a Public Works Committee
meeting, maybe tonight
(December 13, 7 p.m., council
chambers),
John G. Berry wrote to town
council thanking them forthe
completion 'of the paving
project on Brock Street.
Mr. Berry's letter also ex-
pressed a hope that the new
street surface would not attract
speedsters.
*
The AdrpLinistrative,Commit-
tee has been asked to look into
the matter of cable television
installations in Goderich.'
Councillor E'isa Haydon com-
plained that it some areas of
the town, it appears that the'
cable television company is not
adhering strictly to their plans
for underground installations
wherever possible.
Mrs. Haydon remarked there
are some places where "un-
sightly overhead lines" appear
to have been used where un-
derground installations would
have been possible.
Deputy -reeve Stan Profit
defended the company by
saying that the bulk of lines are
underground, but added that
the company is "maybe not
exercising the proper restraints
in certain areas".
Reeve Deb Shewfelt told
council he felt there were times
when overhead lines could not
be avoided if all people are to
