Ir. Carter said that the two companies could get together and establish a schedule N hereby only one company was operating at night w on weekends which would cut costs to the com- panies and still provide service. Members of the Goderich Police Force have been acting as crossing guards at five points helping children attending Victoria Public School fo cross safely. Chief P. D. King said it was only a temporary measure and that the Ministry of Dave MacDonald begi work Monday as a school crossing guard at the corner of Bayfield.,and Britannia Road. The town wants to hire an additional two crossing guards as they are presently using the services of bylaw enforcement officer Dick Eisler at. the corner of Evennett Street and Bayfield Road.

Faye Gautcher, owner of Bluewater Taxi, feels that meters in the cabs would mean a fair and even calculation of miles travelled per individual passenger" enabling the companies to charge fares a ccordirigl,xShe said that under the present flat rate system one person can travel. four blocks for one dollar while, another may travel 12 blocks for the same price. "Something has to be dope to justify the gas and in- surance increases we've had recently," said Mrs. Gaut - cher. The $luewater spokesman said she felt that night service in Goderich did not warrant the operation of two com- panies. She said that one company could- handle the calls on any given night and she was in favor of splitting the hours of operation bet- ween the companies or having only one operate. She added that she'. knows that Goderich Taxi operates at night, and she is now referring night calls to that company. Louvaine Swan of Goderich Taxi is not in favor of meter iristallation in the cabs. She said that she was in, favor of an increase in the flat rate but was opposed to meters, 'She added that •her com- pany now operates seven days a week from 7:30 in the morning until midnight but Workmen's Compensation Cheques in Stratford The Workmen's Cbmpensation Board of Ontario has made arrangements for the delivery'of cheques during the mail strike.
