Urban bus routes Hurontopic agalfl:
By Ross Haugh
The Huron Board of
Education' Tuesday afternoon
unanimously rejected a
suggestion that urban bus
qtransportatiou be provided for
pupils residing in excess o°f'one
mile from the school which they
attend..
The . nikrtter has been under
discussion at ser -\crap meetings
this year,, anti in June, the ad-
ministration.. was asked to
make a full investigation and
determine where the service
could be used.
They returned a complete
survey of the situation com-
plete with maps showing the :
territories in Goderich, Clinton
W ingham, Seaforth and Exeter
'wihere students lived more than's
a rode from the schools.
1 `arly in tlu' y eer, Goderich
trustee Cavlev Hill attempted
to ha \ e ur'han bus services
Residents- fig
continued from pa e 1
project, not on the economics.
"I don't mean to criticise you
but if I happen to find out about
any property devaluation ,you
may suffer,- it will not alter my
final decision in the least,'' said
Mr. Kelly,
Mr Burns then criticized the•
sewage facilities in the area
slated for the apartment. He
,said he was,not stating that the
present ' system was
inadequate. He just pointed out
that no one had proven to him
.or the court that it .was
adequate.
He said he believed thea' was
a good ,possibility 'that the
system was below the required
• size. He explained that the
geography of the property was.
such that the sewer en'tranc'e
would be. in- the low area
directly'.beside his property and.
wpuld have to carry the water
up. a grade.to Albert Street and
the trunk,
' h t • f*.
"1 consider el'erse develop-
ment of he area to lie poor
policy considering the apart
meats across the street from
ale and the ones on Nelson
Street,:; stated Mr. Burris,
Building inspector Roy
Breckenridge told Mr, . Burns
and the court that; he had
checked with the town foreman
prior to granting the permit
and . that the sewer's were en.
tirely adequate to handle the
additional 10 units proposed.
He said that an eight , inch
storm sewer had already .been,
installed across the rear of the
property. by Mr•. Br:ander and
that the developer was willing
to put in any additional sewers
required,,to drain the property:
The building inspector a'Iso
pointed out to the hearing that
the accesses to the apartment
parking lot were planned t'o
allow for the required planting
strip and still provide room„fo,r,'._
the required 15 parking spaces
needed, , He said . if the
•1 driveways were altered
drastically it' would only mean
that cars 'would have to park
facing. the rear of the property
and that they would be shining
their headlights on the neigh -
,t boring property at night,
Mr. Burns had objected to the,
20 foot wide drive adjacent to
his. property -'saying it was a
danger to .his, children and
would create noise that would
be Undesirable, He 'told the
hearing he would be willing to
drop his objection if the. drive
could be moved to another area
and a row of trees or a fence
constructed on the ' property
line. -
` The developer has con-
sidered a, row of trees to• the
rear of the property to_protect
the neighbors there but plans
none for my side,” complained
Mr. Burns.
"I believe I' m the ono, that
will suffer the most."
Mr, Kelly asked if the drives
had to be the full 20 feet in°vv-idth
an.d,if there was need for three,
He said that if,.,the one' bor-
• dering Mr. Burns' property
could be ,moved farther frbm
the property line and possibly
.reduced it may drastically
reduce the danger to -children.
He said if a site plan could be
submitted to -him with' the
alterations made in light of Mr.
Burns' complaints, he would
use the new plan in making his
•final decision,
decision will be made
untjl . eve'ryone ' has had op.
portunity to put has
'the
hearing what they feel is
necessary to consider in
making the decision," said the
chairman. "I wont ba.se my
final decision On any one
consideration but rather 'the'
whole project and its effect."

The onl, on,iiient on the

Alexander said, . "Many •

department would see fit to
provide the "'necessary adult

decided to retain his services:
Town council decided
Tuesday night to apply some
pressure on the board of
education to • reinstall the
student safety patrols and 'will
try tei secure , the services of
adult crossing' guards where
needed,
- The traffic committee - of
council was ,instructed to meet
with Goderich Police Chief
P.D. Kingto recommend ,where
the guards were needed and
council hopes to find' some
guards to • man the areas
described by that meeting.
An attempt to hire guards
• about, a year ago ended in
'dismal failure for council.
Advertisement for the guards
failed to draw, any applicants
"and the itjea w'as abandoned.
Reeve Stan Profit, " also
chairman' of the traffic com-
mittee, told council that
another effort would be made to
hire guards but this time cin`-
" . culars, would%,be' sent, to the
stridents at the town schools to
be carried home to parents.
Councillor' Leroy Harrison
• questioned the worth of the
ministry's new ;_stand on
crossing, guards. Mr., Harrison
said he felt the safety patrols
'were an excellent idea and felt
they should be reinstated ad-
ding that he "couldn't see why
all of a sudden the crossing
guards are illegal".

problem since he moved in. He
said ,during heavy rains the
water runs'down the -street and
around his house like a river
and' sometimes is up to six
inches deep, -
"I've seen the, sewers boil
over because of the - over-
taxing," complained, one
resident,
Fie said , the water churns
over the entrances to- the
sewers and when it finally
disappears it leaves a thick
coating of mud everywhere.
The petitioners told council
that they were' promised . a
sewer when' an outlet into the
South Storm Sewer was
provided and in the two years
since that sewer was built,
nothing has happened. f✓
• Mayor Deb Shewfelt told the
group that the plans to con-
struct the .'sewer would be in-

be ready for construction in
1976. He said he wa's aware of
the problem in the area of South

.property on Gibbons Street had
to be drained in the' same
project.
