Spring road conditions
Humps in the road are a big
problem, particularly in nor-
thern Ontario .in the Spring,
says the Ontario Safety
League. They are caused by
drastic' weather changes and
there's not much you can do
about them. The highway
department erects° `bump'
signs, but frequently you find
,the humps before either the
signs go up or work crews can
repair the road damage. When
you see the signs, slow down,
keep both hands on the wheel.
Safety .belts will •help keep you

•
nd the wheel should you be
the first to discover a new
hump.

Grandstand booth
leased by town
Town Council has found a
tenant for their recently
acquired concession booth in
the grandstan4 at Agriculture
Park. Dirk Wolterbeek has
come to an agreement with the
town for' leasing the booth for
two years, 1975 and 1976, at a
cost of $50 per month for the
period the booth is open.
The ' i£o'rmer tenants' and
operators of ''the kitchenette,'
Vern and Kate Smith, leased
the area very cheaply on the
premise that? they be respon-
sible for cleaning the area,
operating the lights on the
baseball diamond and super-
vising the restrooms, The
Smiths' decided'this year not to
take on the task and put' their
concession equipment up for
sale.•

. Town Council last month
purchased the equipment, for
$1,500 and immediately began
to look for a tenant. They
decided not to let the area out
as cheaply as they had in the
past due to the• extra expense
they had taken on.
The new lease covers the
same responsibilities as the old
one except for the, extra cost.
Should Wolterbeek fail '. "to
comply with the provisions of
the lease it can be terminated

Councillor Dave Gower said
that as long as the agreement
was not signed there would be
no racing. He pointed out that
anyone wishing to use the
park Can do 1,o knowing there
will be no racing as long as
there is no agreement.
Gower added that he did not
wish council to discuss the
subject,.saying too ,much time
had been wasted on the project
already.
Councillor Bob Allen advised
the town that the recreation
board had already taken action
to prevent unfinalized racing
plans from tying up the'park;
He said the board had written
Mr. Cassina telling him there
would be a $150 charge for not
giving the rec board five days
notice of cancellation of racing.

Two committees of council
will investigate hiring a bylaw
enforcement officer for . the
town. The traffic and financial
committees will consult with
police chief Pat King to look
into hiring a full time enforcer
of certain bylaws in Goderich.
The matter was discussed at,
council following a recom-
mendation by Reeve Stan
`'Profit to hire a man to enforce
the two hour parking' limit on
the town's streets.
Profit suggested that animal
control officer Dick Eisler be,
retained by the town for that
purpose due to criticism that it
was uneconomical to have a
$14,000 a year constable
marking tires on The Square.
Council seemed receptive to
the idea and felt that the duties
of Mr. 'Eisler could be expanded
to cover. more bylaw en-
,forcernent. Oneof the recent
restrictions of council, leaf
burning, was another bylaw
suggested for Mr. Eisler's 3i
concern..
The committees are to meet
with the chief to discuss what
Mr. Eisler's duties will be and
what salary he will receive.
The chief stressed to council
that the duties must be'•clearly
defined and that Mr. Eisler or
anyone else not be permitted to
attempt to handle official police
business.
