Dear Editor:
On Saturday evening March

residence, a person, whose
identity is unknown, drove a
snowmobile into the side of my
house, veered off from there
and uprooted a large shrub
belonging to my next door
neighbor.
A witness, who was in my
house at the time,stated that
this unknown driver stopped his
machine for a minute or 'two,
surveyed the damage to my
house, and,, then . drove away
without, leaving any name or
address.

My first concern after--""**
assessing the damage to the
siding on the house, was- to
telephone my insurance agent.
—Upon -his -advice -the -police
called and a report filed.
There the matter stands. I
will be -forced to pay for
damages that I did not commit,
(my house insurance policy has
the standard deductible
clause), and the police have the
almost impossible task of
finding a damaged snowmobile
and then proving that it was the
one that collided with my
house.
I do not own a snowmobile
myself, .nor do I have any wish
to. Neither do I object to
anyone's right to own and
operate such a machine under
safe and. sensible conditions.
'This, in my opinion, does not
include the public streets and
private property within the
town of Goderich.
Fortunately, we do have
some legislators' in our town.
who are trying to enforce
reasonable by-laws for the
safety of the snowmobiles and
non-snowmobiler'alike.
Let us hope. that we soon can
get together on a, safe . and
sensible- policy, so that the
person who damaged my home
does not have to hide, under the
cover of a snowmobile suit and
the darkness of night; but can
,operate his vehicle in a place
and mannerdesignated for
such vehicles.
