Separate Board opposes billing change By Stephanie Levesque DUBLIN - Huron -Perth County Separate School Board is opposed to possible changes in group billing from Union Gas Limited. A change in groupp billing procedures would cost the board an additional $2,064 per year. Presently seven schools are affected, mostly in urban areas. Two more schools will be added as they have recently converted to natural gas heating. The Ontario Energy Board has requested Union Gas to eliminate or severely restrict group billing. This type of billing allows dis- counts to customers using Union Gas' services such as,. school boards and municipalities. A spokesman for the energy board said group bill- ing is considered to be "un- duly discriminatory" because rates do not reflect usage of gas. It is expected the Ontario School Trustees' Council will make representation • for school boards in Ontario at hearings to be held possibly in January. In other business, the board will obtain legal ad- vice from barrister, Ray Waller of Stratford to decide what action should be taken to home owners encroaching on board property. The 11 acres of vacant land in question is located off Greenwood Drive in Strat- ford. Presently there is fenc- ing and a tool shed not plac- ed by the board, on the pro- perty. The owners of adja cent land have not been ap- proached by board represen- tatives. Goderich council won't ban transports GODERICH - Hundreds of transport trucks make their way to the Goderich Elevators each day to unload grain for shipment. The route they travel passes by a residential area, and homeowners along two of these streets, Elgin Avenue and Wellington Street, have petitioned the town cOmicil to restrict the trucking hours. Fifty-four residents signed a petition to council, asking that trucks be banned from the route between 11 pm and 7 am, however council. stressed that the truck traf- fic is a necessary part of commerce and industry in Goderich and said that residents would simply have to live with. the inconve- nience. Mayor Harry Worsell, a nearby resident on Lighthouse Street asked the petitioners if they would also ban snowplows and fire trucks during • these hours, salt trucks, even grocery trucks who arrive before 5 am in order to have produce available by 9 am. "Shutting down the truck route will mean all of it, not just Elgin Avenue and Well- ington Street. The people on Victoria Street, Bayfield Road' and Huron Road also live in residential areas, and wouldn't expect any dif--; ferent treatment," Mayor Worsell explained.
