(staff photo) Snug Harbor new rates Goderich Harbor Committee Chairman Bill Clifford handed down a report to Town Council at its regular meeting last Thursday evening which will see .the 1974 seasonal dockage fee set at $5.00 per foot per season or $100 minimum and the daily fee fixed at 20 cents per foot with a minimum of $4.00 at Snug Harbor. Fees at the launching ramp will be $1.00 per day or $5.00 per season. The new "Small Boat 'Dockage Regulations", which were accepted by the town fathers, certifies that the Marina Supervisor for the Town of Goderich is em- powered to supervise and direct the docking of all boats in the Snug Harbor areaand' to collect the fees as set out for the use of the launching ramps and use of the dock. The regulations also point out that the Marina Supervisor is a special constable em- powered to enforce the regulations ` and those of the Department of Transport as required. Accessory or novelty boats cannot be sold a seasonal dockage and must be beached at the direction of the Super- visor. Part season fees, when applicable, are to be calculated on a proportionate basis. The assumed season is five months and all fees are payable in ad- vance. — -- Because of current congestion, seasonal dockage can be allotted only to resident or taxpayers in Huron County under the new regulations. Only one boat for seasonal dockage per family is permit- ted. All owners of boats using Snug Harbor must register with the Marina Supervisor before launching to receive docking in- structions. The use of Snug Harbor facilities may be refused or can- celled by the Harbor- Commit- tee on the recommendation of the Marin. Supervisor by giving seven days notice in writing for one or more of the following reasons: Failure to observe the general ,Regulations of the har- bor facility, failure to maintain a boat adequately including periodic use where it is ap- parent seasonal dockage is not required and mishandling of boats to the detriment of others. - The harbor regulations referred to in the first point note that the harbor and docks are under the care of the Har- bor Committee of the Town of Goderich and all persons using the area must abide by a set of 10 rules. All boats must be registered with the Marina Supervisor, immediately on arrival. All dockage area must be assigned by the Marina Super- visor and designated by the Supervisor. Dockage rates as shown must be paid in advance. The flushing of heads is prohibited by Municipal, Provincial and Federal Legislation. Washroom keys supplied at time of registration (with deposit) are returnable on departure. No swimming will be per- mitted in the harbor area. No pets are to be allowed to run at large, but must be under the care and control ,of the owner at all times. • The harbor is designated as a "no wake" area and all boats_ must move at dead slow speed. No smoking or barbecue fires are permitted in the designated fueling area's. Dumpi not permitted on the s. Garbage cans are pro Ided at frequent intervals.. here is to be no unnecessary noise or disturbance on the dock area after 10:00 p.m. In other provisions of the new harbor policy the Harbor Committee reserves the right to use unoccupied seasonal dock space for overnight traffic at the reasonable discretion of the Marina Supervisor. Tax credits benefit citizens About 2.7 million Ontario residents will share in the Province's $300 ,milliop tax credits when they file their in- come tax returns in 1974, Revenue Minister Allan Grossman said this week.; Mr: Grossman said in- 'dual n- 'du Il benefits under the iquch- paraded Ontario Tax Credit System will vary accor- ding to family size and income levels. Eligible residents must coin. pieta parts of the flderill. tn' come tax return- as wellas the special purple Ontario 'flux Credit Forrn enclosed with the I xne tax package, in order to, a tax credit claim. ` A Grossman explained ' Moe this year's program will benefit so ,many people, the Ontario Govern- ment: is making an extra effort to assist residents in filing com- plete and correct claims. A spect'al information centre, opera ted by trained advisors will ^be operational sin early January. Residents will be able t[4 ,,• telephone them for .assistance. We, will also have competent stif available to t .groups throughout 'On - i,'' -- •Mr. Grossman ex- ned. Residents of,the ''Metropolitan Toronto local= calling area can contact the in- formation' centre by dialling 965-8470. Residents living elsewhere in' Ontario may celt free of charge by -asking the local operator to connect them -with ZENITH 8-2000. Mr. Grossman added that the trained staff,; will speak other -languages in addition to French and English, "so that we can provide a complete ser- vice to the public." This year's program consists of three separate credits. The property tax credit reduces the burden of municipal taxes on' homeowners,: tenants and roomers. The sales tax credit provides relief against the :retail sales tax particularly for pensioners and large families, as it relates to the taxfiler'w personal exemptions. The pen- sioner' tax credit gives ad- ditional tax relief to senior citizens. , Riddell talks .�bout roads In recent discussions of the Standing Committee on Supply, 4.. Estimates, Ministry of Tran- sportation and Com munications, the topic of road maintenance was on the floor. Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron presented several cases in his riding, which he felt should be taken care of in the near future. His main concern was for rural routes as he felt that although people in urban areas definitely had transportation problems, those in rural areas should not be ignored. Mr. Riddell said that I often think that with some of our big ideas—and no doubt that we have to do something to im- prove the transportation for people in cities—I often think that we are neglecting the rural areas. We are really forgetting' where the real bread -basket is in Ontario. I am thinking now of Highway 8, where the development officer asked for a study to be done. He is fully convinced that there has to be some maintenance done on that road. There are several towns where the speed limit is 30 mph. Of course, this slows down traffic. This road is heavily travelled by trucks coming out of Goderich and coming out of Stratford. There is no question that Huron •county is certainly one of the best agricultural -counties in r• Ontario. We gave the potential for industry in places like Goderich. • But Goderich can't attract industry for the simple reason that they do not find the tran- sportation services there adequate to meet their needs. All the . development officer asked for was some passing lanes on hills. It ig rather rolling terrain, particularly bet- ween Clinton and Goderich, and all that was asked for was some passing lanes so the trucks going up there can move to one side and allow the cars to go by. aI am not going to say a great deal more about this, other than the only point I want to make is that the condition of the highways in Huron county has a direct bearing on the development of the county. With a highway such as High= way 8,' which is heavily travelled . by trucks out of Goderich and out of Stratford, why isn't there some con- sideration to doing something on (his highway? Granted you have been resur- facing. I think it's resurfaced now fxom Goderich to Seaforth. It is supposed to be finished from Seaforth to Stratford some time next year. The point of the matter is, regardless of whether you resurface or not, trucks are not going to travel it if they can help it. We `ere not going to at - tact industry to Goderich, _or even Stratford for that matter, because the truckersfind that they cannot make any time on `. that particular highway. There was a study done and there was a letter written by a Mr. Blevins, regiopal director, indicating the results of the study. They did'admit that the traffic through the town slowed traffic down considerably. Then admitted that Something needed to be done. They have it all broken down as to the amount of time it takes to travel from Goderich to Strat- ford. But they didn't feel that it was important enough actually to construct some passing lanes. I would disagree, as would the people of Huron county, because, as I say, as long as the situation stays as it is, there is just no way that in- dustry is going even to want to take a look' at Goderich. Yet I think there's a real potential here for industry to become established. People 0 Helping People FOR All YOUR PHOTOGRAPHIC NEEDS CAMPBELL'S 168 THE SQUARE.
